Shu Pulong has helped at least 1000 people bitten by snakes. “It was seeing people with snake bites that led me to this career, ”he said.

In 1963, after his army service, Shu entered a medical school and later became a doctor of Chinese medicine. As part of his studies he had to work in the mountains. There he often heard of people who had their arms and legs cut off after a snake bite in order to save their lives.

“I was greatly upset when they told me the story of an old farmer I met. It was a very hot afternoon. The old man was pulling grass in his fields when he felt a pain in his left hand. He at once realized he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. In no time he wrapped（纏繞）a cloth tightly around his arm to stop the poison（毒）getting to his heart. Running home he shouted, `Bring me the knife' Minutes later the man lost his arm forever. ”

“The heartbroken story touched me so much that I decided to devote myself to helping people bitten by snakes. ” Shu added, “I worked very hard and tried my best to make a good snake doctor.” And at last he made it.

What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler…, and don’t forget a bottle of water!

According to a study at the British Psychological ( 心理學(xué)的) Society Annual Conference held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.

Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster, UK, did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees (學(xué)歷) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with something to drink.

Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.

It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety ( 焦慮), which has a bad effect on exam performances, according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of East London.

“Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的)with water during exams,” he said.

So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you.Who knows – it may help you pass the exam!

1.How much may the students improve their grades most if they bring water into exams?

A. By 2%. B. By 8%.

C. By 10%. D. By 25%.

2. How many students in the study got better grades?

B. All the447 students who come from the University of East London.

C. About300 students who took part in the study.

D. About10 percent of the students who studied different subjects.

3.The underlined phrase “cut down on” probably means _______.

A. increase B. bring

My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.

Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Net speak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cell phones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.

Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破壞）the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非）.

Everyone should just relax, say linguists（語言學(xué)家）. They believe Net speak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Net speak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nurnberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messages, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."

Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.

However, Net speakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard（標(biāo)準(zhǔn)） English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Net speak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must（絕對(duì)必要的事物）for their future."

Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun".

1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

A.To give an example of a foreign language.

B. To show an example of creative methods.

C. To express worries about using Net speak.

D. To lead in the topic of Net speak.

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Net speak properly.

B. Geoffrey Nurnberg believes Net speakers can write Standard English.

C. David Crystal thinks Net speak helps develop the habit of writing.

D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.

3.The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.

A .be fairly sure

B. be greatly surprised

C. think it a pity

D. find it interesting

4.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Net speak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet

B. Is Net speak Harming the English Language?

C. Is Net speak Helpful in Language Learning?

D. Net speak: Advantages and Disadvantages
