One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City，Calif.，to New Orleans.In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him.There was a time in the country when you'd be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, “I don't want to get involved” has become a national motto.

Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker.Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much.What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision.I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.

Does anyone stop any more? I wondered.I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line：“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers”. Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the goodwill of his fellow Americans.What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him，carry him down the road?

The idea intrigued me.

The week I turned 37，I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life.So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny.It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar.I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head.My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina，a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip.

I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50?pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles：“America”．

For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states.As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else.In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming; in Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went.I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.

B．Because he was driving too fast.

Did you know that the first documented use of OMG(oh my god)was in 1917, or that LOL was once a common term meaning little old ladies in 1960? That's what the world learned when OMG, LOL, and FYI (for your information) were added to the Oxford English Dictionary last week. This dictionary is considered by many to be the reference book that defines the English language.

Words added to the Oxford English Dictionary are truly considered new members of the language. People invent new words all the time, but only a few become popular enough to get defined in dictionaries.

Typed online or in text messages, LOL, FYI, and OMG are initialisms,_which can be said aloud letter by letter, like LOL, which now stands for Laugh Out Loud.Faster to type than the full phrases, initialisms like these have been used online since the 1990s. But these three online terms are now spoken outside the Internet too, making them different from other online lingo( 行話). Dictionary editors decided the words are used so commonly that they had to be defined this year.

Another important addition to the dictionary this year was ?， as in “I ? NY.” This is the first graphic (圖形的 ) symbol ever defined in the Oxford English Dictionary.The editors added ? as a verb under the definition of “heart”， meaning “to love”．

Some slang words — informal language used more commonly in speech than in writing — were also added, like wassup, a shortened way to say “What's up”. Even words that have been in use for many years like biker and happy camper were finally added to the dictionary.

The Oxford English Dictionary now defines more than 600,000 words.That adds up to more than 21,730 pages! Guinness World Records calls it the longest dictionary in the world.The Oxford English Dictionary is known for recording words of all kinds—popular, outdated, and even foreign words used by English speakers throughout the language's long history.

1.The text is mainly about that ________.

A．expressions like LOL and FYI have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary

B．English words change their meaning as time goes by

C．English language is becoming more and more difficult to learn

D．the Oxford English Dictionary breaks the Guinness World Record

2.Which of the following is NOT included in the facts that the Oxford English Dictionary has been updated?

A．Some online terms are added to it.

B．A graphic symbol is first introduced into it.

C．Some slang words are collected in it.

D．Some old words are left out.

3.What does the underlined word “initialisms” refer to?

A．Words having foreign origins.

B．Words made from the first letters of several words in a phrase.

C．Uncommon words frequently appearing on the Internet.

D．Official words used in formal documents with capital letters.

4.Before any new word is added to the Oxford English Dictionary, it must be ________.

A．spread widely across the Internet

B．used commonly by the dictionary editors

C．used commonly in either spoken or written language

D．a short word

Believe it or not, cell phones have been around for over a quarter of a century.The first commercial cell phone system was developed by the Japanese in 1979. But cell phones have changed a lot since that time. The early cell phones appeared big and heavy but they have developed into small and light palm?sized models. There have been huge developments in their functions，too. We have had call forwarding, text messaging, answering services and hands?free use for years, but now the manufacturers equip countless new facilities, such as instant access to the Internet and receiving and Sending photos.

Cell phones have become very common in our lives；recent statistics suggest as many as one in three people on the planet now has a cell phone, and most of them say they couldn't live without one. Cell phones are used in every area of our lives and have become a necessary tool, used for essential arrangements, social contact and business. They have made it easier to call for help on the highway. They have made it possible to keep in touch with people “on the move” when people are traveling.

Cell phones have made communication easier and have reduced the need for family arguments. We can use cell phones to let our family know we'll be late or if there's a change of plan or an emergency. Cell phones have eased the worries of millions of parents when their teenagers are out late, and they can now contact their children at any time.

This does not mean that cell phones are all good news. They have brought with them a number of new headaches for their owners: it costs a lot to replace stolen phones, something that is becoming a frequent occurrence, and have you ever seen such huge phone bills? More serious, however, is the potential health problem they bring: there are fears that radiation from the phones may cause brain tumor(腫瘤). This may be a time bomb waiting to happen to younger people who have grown up with cell phones that they simply can't live without.
