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(表情符号) which make faces when you look at them sideways. The most common emotive, is the happy face :). A comma (逗号) 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(密码). 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.

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls, and the boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now things have changed a lot.
In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.
There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not do well in their study.
Secondly, girls are more careful and more sensible than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.
Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls’ education.
小题1:China Youth says that more and more ______
| A．boys are cleverer than girls |

| C．girls have entered colleges |

| C．boys at schools in 2001 |
| D．boys in colleges in 1998 |
| A．two | B．three | C．four | D．five |
| A．身高 | B．比例 | C．特征 | D．速度 |
| A．Boys may not do as well in their study as girls because they don’t like studying. |
| B．Boys are much cleverer than girls because they’re interested in many things. |
| C．Girls’ intelligence is the same as boys’. |
| D．Girls study harder, but they couldn’t get higher marks than boys. |
Body signals (信号)
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training, When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it"s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend (弯曲) your knees. If you want to say that it"s not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it’s a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a tire unless you"re sure that it can’t spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It"s a good idea lo build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols (标记). If you can"t find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
F "I need food and water"
II "I need medicine."
I "I am badly hurt."
X "I am unable lo move from here."
Pilots" replies
If the pilot lowers the plane"s wings from side to side, this means: "message received and understood" (At night, the pilot flashes the plane"s green lights.) If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received hut not understood" (At night, the: pilot flashes the plants red lights.)
However, there is no signal which means "message not received. Why not"?
小题1:How many signals can we use to draw the attention of the passing plane if you"re in trouble?
| A．Three. | B．Four | C．Five | D．Six |
小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
A. Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes"
B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can’t be seen.
C If you need some medicine, make a symbol “Ⅱ”.
D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.
小题4:What is the passage mainly about?
| A．The explanation of building signals on an island. |
| B．The importance of making signals on an island. |
| C．Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island. |
| D．Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island. |
