Beijing has started a battle to get rid of “Chinglish” (Chinese English ) . The “Language mandarins” of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China’s modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in 2008 .

A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace （Chang’an Street ）, for example , advised : “To Take Notice of Safe ; The Slippery are Very Crafty ,”a warning that the sidewalk was slippery . Another sign in a Beijing park reads : “Little grass is smiling slightly , please walk on sidewalk “.

Li Honghai , the city official in charge of the battle , said : “Linguistic perfection (語言美)is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city .”

However , not everyone shares the disdain （蔑視）of the Beijing government for the mixed language . “The choice of words is pretty much . One can either choose the verbs ,adverbs , nouns or whatever one likes ,” explained one Hongkong linguist on an Internet website .

So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases . Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with “Keep this candle out of children” and a model boat―curiously named Posh Sailboat―which means “Please don’t place it in dusty play .”

If the battle against Chinglish is successful , Chinese will also turn their attention to the English―language versions of newspapers , which play an even more important role in teaching right English.

Some recent surveys show that the health conditions of many white collar employees and office workers are rather critical. Death cases among white collar employees and office workers are increasing year by year and these cases are generally believed to have been caused by overwork and spend little time taking rest or doing exercise.

If their offices are within the distance of half an hour’s walk, some office workers now choose to go to work on foot. Ms. Wang, who works in a foreign enterprise in Beijing, has been walking to her office for more than six months now.“I usually have a tight work schedule and can’t find time to do exercise. So I choose to walk to work.”As she said, if the office is not far from home, most women would like to go to work on foot. Walking is good for their health and can help them to keep good figures as well.

Apart from walking to office, one can also find time to do exercise when one is at work. The simple way is to abandon the lift. Mr.Yang who works in the Passenger Service Department at Beijing Airlines, is one of such men who frequently climb stairs to his office. “I only use the lift whenever I am with my colleagues or my boss. Otherwise, I would climb stairs instead of taking the lift.”

In addition, some office workers try to find time to go to gym at the end of a day. Ms Sunny works in a law firm. She goes to the gym several times a week when she has the time.“I go to the gym every weekend. During the weekdays, I will also go there whenever I have the time.” Ms Sunny and her husband both have a gym membership card for a whole year. The cards cost them a lot of money. However, they think it is worth it.

1.What is the best title of the passage? (No more than 10 words.)

2.How many ways that office workers keep healthy are mentioned in the passage and what are they? (No more than 15 words.)

3.Please explain the underlined phrase “ keep good figures ” in English.(No more than 5words.)

4.Why are death cases among white collar employees and office workers increasing year by year? (No more than 15 words.)

5.As a student, which is the best way of keeping fit? (No more than 20 words.)
