Online, English has become a common language for users from all over the world. In the process, the language itself is changing.

There are now about 4,500 million web pages around the world. Some people say that within 10 years people will use English widely on the Internet, but in forms it is very different from what we accept and know as English today. Why?

That’s because more people now speak English as a second language. And they use it to communicate with other non-native speakers, especially on the Internet where they pay little attention to grammar and spelling.

Internet users already create a number of different “Englishes” like Hinglish(Indian English), Spanglish(Spanish English) and Konlish(Korean English). Though these different forms have been there within different cultures, they are now going far and wide online.

Some words are taken from traditional English. “Blur”(= “not clear” or “slow”), for example, is often used in Singlish(singaporean English). Some English words are put together to make something new. In Chinglish(Chinese English), “Long time no use” means “have not seen you for a long time”.

“In fact, most people speak different languages—it’s less common to speak only one,” says Mr. Smith. Enlish has become the world’s language, but it’s not pushing out other languages. Instead, other languages are pushing theirs into languages. Instead, in the process, creating something new.

It’s not easy to be a scientist’s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.

Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Mother’s Day writing competition for the whole school “I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”

When I got home, I started to think about what to write. “My mother is a scientist.” N0, I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw her. How did I see my mother? Hmm, I saw her sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how she hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, she wasn’t just a world—famous scientist. She was my mom.

My parents and I went to school Thursday night. The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me. The second prize was announced. It was me!

I went up to the stage and read what I had written, “My mother’s son”. When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. Tears were running down my mother’s face. I saw my father blowing his nose. He cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder, “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.’’

It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my mother’s son.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子是否正確，對的涂(A)，錯的涂(B)。

1.Students were asked to write about their mothers at the writing competition.

2.The result was announced on Thursday night.

3.The writer wrote things on his mother’s work.

4.The son won the first prize at the competition.

5.The writer felt tired to be a scientist’s son.

A recent report from China Daily says that about 18% of our teenagers can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with others.

Zhang Qiang, a Junior 2 student from Sichuan, could not understand his teachers in class and was doing badly in his lessons. He was afraid of exams. When he looked at the exam paper, he would be very nervous and couldn’t think of anything to write.

Another student, a 15-year-old girl called Wu Yan from Guangdong often argued with her classmates even her parents because of some different ideas. She became so angry with them that she started to cut her finger with a knife.

However, many students who have problems won’t go for advice or help. Some think they will look strange if they go to see a doctor. Others don’t want to talk about their secrets. In order to solve the teenagers’ problems, here is some advice:

●Talk to your parents, teachers or friends often and ask them for help.

●Take part in group activities and play sports.

●Go to see a doctor if the problem seems to be serious.
