what is right 7 wrong. It may tell you the right time to use a word. If only 8 people use a word, a
dictionary will 9 tell you this or not list (编列) it.

Every dictionary, of course, tells you what a word means. But some words, like "get" or "take", may have

information, and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There"s no real
word for it yet, so we"ll call it e-talk.
People don"t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters called acronyms
(首字母缩略词). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms and forums. Some of them are:
BTW(by the way) BRB (be right back)
LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations
are:
info (information) puter (computer) pic (picture) sec (second)
We usually don"t see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show
their emotions. Most people use their keyboards to draw "emoticons",such as:
:-) (happy) :-( (sad) ;-) ( joking) :-o (surprised)
These days, many forums have picture emoticons.
There are even whole new words, like "newbie" (someone who is new on a chat board or forum).
When you write something bad about someone else, it"s called "flaming" the person.
It takes time to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups in the Net have their own special ways of
communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk
will continue to grow and change.
B. Because people can type them quickly.
C. Because people wanted to make jokes.
D. Because newbies won"t understand them.

really made by reflected (反射) light. We see color because most of the things reflect light. In the same way,
if something is green, it reflects most of the green light. If something reflects all light, it is white. If it doesn"t
reflect any light, it is black. Some of the light is reflected and some is taken in (吸引) and turned into (变成)
heat (热能).The darker the color is, the less light is reflected, the more light is taken in. So dark-colored
clothes are warmer in the sun than light-colored clothes.
