Like most cultures around the world, the Zulu people of Africa tell stories that have animals as heroes. These stories are meant to entertain, but they are also used to teach important lessons to children. This is one of those stories.
One hot afternoon, Jackal was walking along the rocky road sniffing (嗅) the ground. He was hoping to smell a mouse or a lizard (蜥蜴), or something else that would be good to eat. He was so much lost in sniffing that he wasn’t really paying attention to what was around himself.
Suddenly, Jackal looked up to see his neighbor, Lion, walking straight toward him. He did not have enough time to get away. Jackal had played many tricks (捉弄) on Lion over of something quickly.
“Help! Help!” cried Jackal as he quickly jumped upon a large rock hanging over the road. “The rocks are falling down, and I can’t hold them much longer. We shall both be crushed (壓碎) if you do not do your best to hold these rocks back, Lion”
At once, Lion pushed his strong shoulder against the rocks to keep them from moving any further. “I’ll just run over here to get something to stop the rocks,” shouted Jackal as he ran away to safety. Lion stayed leaning against the unmoving rocks for quite a long time before he realized that Jackal had tricked him yet again!
小題1:Why was Jackal sniffing the ground?
A．To play with Lion.B．To push upon a rock
C．To run after a mouseD．To look for something to eat.
小題2:What does the underlined word ‘leaning’ mean?
A．supportingB．sleepingC．runningD．sitting
小題3:Why did Jackal cry for help?
A．Because Lion was rushing to him.
B．Because he was caught under a rock.
C．Because he got an idea to get away from Lion.
D．Because he saw a large rock moving toward him.
小題4:What lesson does the story teach us?
A．Trust your friend, trust yourself.
B．Work hard, and you’ll succeed.
C．Help others when they are in trouble.
D．Try to find a quick way out when in trouble.

Do you speak English? Do you speak e-mail English? Maybe you don’t. E-mail English is a new kind of English that many people use to save time. A lot of e-mail English words come from a computer program called QQ, which means I seek(尋找)you. Ian Lancashire, a Canadian teacher, likes QQ, “People can use QQ to talk with each other using computer. But, you have to be able to type quickly or the other person will be bored. So e-mail English can give some help.”
A message in e-mail English mostly uses two kinds of new words. The first kind is made up of the first letters of the words. These are called acronyms. The second kind is homophones，letter combination(合并), symbols that sound like other words.
Acronyms in an e-mail save space and time. It takes a long time to write by the way. BTW is much faster. Other acronyms are F2F which stands for face to face, CSL for can’t stop laughing and DBEYR for don’t believe everything you read! Some of the acronyms look like strange words, such as SWAK. But this one means sealed(封口) with a kiss.
Homophones often use letters and numbers that sound like words or parts of words. For example, 8 sound like—eat in great, to save time, people write gr8. Another example is CU for see you or sometimes CU l8r (see you later)
The number 2 is used for to or too and the number 4 is used instead of for.
Another part of e-mail is emotive symbols(表情符號) which make faces when you look at them sideways. The most common emotive, is the happy face :). A comma (逗號) is often used to help add other parts of the face and show different expressions.
E-mail English is fun. An e-mail message with lots of e-mail English starts to look like secret code(密碼). Your best friend will probably understand it, but your parents and teachers may not. In fact, many teachers don’t like e-mail English. It’s not just because they can’t comprehend what it means. It’s because students start to use e-mail English in their everyday writing. E-mail English is great for writing quickly. But most teachers say that e-mail English should only be used in e-mails to one’s friends.
小題1:What does the writer talk about in the first paragraph?
A．How to read new e-mail words.
B．How new e-mail words are made.
C．Why people use e-mail English.
D．Canadian teachers and their e-mails.
小題2:The underlined word “comprehend” in the last paragraph means “_______”.
A．a(chǎn)cceptB．understandC．guessD．prefer
小題3:What do teachers insist according to the passage?
A．Parents will have to learn some e-mail English.
B．E-mail English will develop our everyday writing.
C．E-mail English can’t be used among schoolmates.
D．E-mail English shouldn’t be used in school writing.
小題4:What’s the title for this passage?
A．E-mail English on Computer.B．American E-mail English.
C．The Forms of E-mail English.D．The Changing of English.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)意思，判斷所給句子的正誤。正確的寫T，錯(cuò)誤的寫F。
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet（問候） each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual（不尋常的） question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks“ How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply （只）other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
　　Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly（確切） what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly（強(qiáng)烈地）, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
　　People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.For example, many talks on the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up（掛）says: “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning (燒)on the stove（爐）.” The excuses（借口） might be real（真的）, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt （傷）the other person.
　　Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, of finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.
小題1:“How are you?” is another way of saying "Hello." or" Hi."
小題2:It is polite to say" No. I disagree. I think you are wrong, "if you don’t agree with others.
小題3:When someone says "I have to go now "On the phone，it means he wants to go on talking.
小題4:"Someone is at the door." may be an excuse for finishing a talk.
小題5:Sometimes people don't say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to be nice to each other.
