one of the millions who write in a special short form of English.
And you"ve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(=sense of humor failure) to describe
Internet newcomers who understand you. Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are
"talking" online - many of them all talking at the same time.
It"s fast: try talking to six people at once. It"s brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit(诙谐), and quick fingers.
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you"re talking to? A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal"s age, sex
and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you"re OTF(=on the floor), or LOL(=laughing out loud), or
combine the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it"s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(got to go) or TTYL(=talk to you
later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they
can. Capital letters(大写字母) are left in the dust, except when expressing strong feelings, as it takes
more time to hold down the "shift" key and use capitals. Punctuation (标点) is going, too.
1. In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet, _______.
A. you have to speak fast and fluently
B. you should speak with wit and humor
C. one should pay much attention to the use of exact words
D. you have to express your ideas in a brief way
2. If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.
A. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York
B. the person who is talking to you is a 17-foot-tall New York girl
C. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York
D. the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine
3.To save time on the Internet, ______.
A. some people leave their letters in the dustbin
B. some people never use "shift" in their writing
C. people seldom use capital letters and punctuation
D. many people only use the capital or punctuation
4.The passage is probably written for ______.
A. young students
B. parents
C. teachers
D. web chatters

in the world. Most large stores sell cosmetics, and there are always shops at airports selling them cheaply. The word "cosmetics "refers to anything that people put on their faces to make them look better. Lipstick,
face powder and cream, and eye make-up are the most popular. Although more women than men use
cosmetics, there are cosmetics for men as well as women.
Some people even have cosmetic surgery to make their faces look different. They have the shape of
their noses and eyes changed.
The most widely used cosmetic is probably lipstick, as many women who do not wear any other
make-up will often put on a little lipstick.
Lipstick is made by mixing together different oils and colors. This mixture is then allowed to get hard
and is cut into the shape of a small pencil. When a woman presses the lipstick to her lips, the end of it
becomes soft, and some of it sticks to her lips, giving them extra color.
Cosmetics were probably first used in India, but it was the Egyptians, six thousand years ago, who
made the most use of them. Rich Egyptian women painted their eyes green and black. They used a red
color to paint pretty designs on their fingernails, the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet.
Pictures of Cleopatra always show her wearing a lot of make-up.
The Romans also used cosmetics. They liked to make their skin very white and to paint their eyes.
They also used a kind of lipstick.
In England at one time, very rich women had baths in milk to make their skin beautiful. They also used
a lot of sweet-smelling powder to stop people smelling their bodies, which were often very dirty because
they did not wash very often or change their clothes.
At one time, some cosmetics were not safe. They were bad for the skin and some of the lipsticks and
powders that people used were even poisonous. Nowadays, people in the cosmetics industry take great
care to make sure that everything they use is completely safe.
1. What does the word "Cosmetics" refer to ________.
A. lipstick
B. make-up
C. creams
D. surgery
2. According to the passage people use cosmetics ________.
A. only at airports
B. only to color their feet

D. instead of surgery

fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children
playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children,
carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for
sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with
a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. When I think of home, I think of my
street. Only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately things change. One day, not long ago, I looked
around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street will never be the same because
neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy
my precious hill and sell the property to contractors.
It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and won"t be around
much longer. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing
almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the
crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see today
are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and
another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is
too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these
days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I
thought they would live forever.
The "comings and goings" of the younger generation of my street are now mostly "goings" as friends
and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. The
boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games
or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and
move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have
new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a
few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up
and go away makes me long for the good old days.
Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into
several lots for now homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of
that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the
children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of
my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. When
the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder
of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod.
There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But
something happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places changes, and with the change
comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I will be
gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I
remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. It will
be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child.
B. in the afternoon every day
C. every time he walks along his street
D. now that he is an old man
B. the lady next door who used to yell at him and his brother is now a widow
C. the life of his neighbors has become very boring
D. the man in his black suit even wanted to end his own life
B. leave the neighborhood they grew up in
C. still enjoy playing card games in the evenings
D. develop new interests and have new dreams
B. the building of new homes behind his kitchen window
C. the fact that there are much fewer people around than in the past
D. the change in his childhood friends" attitude towards their neighborhood
B. his street will soon be crowded with people
C. his street will have some new attractions
D. his street will be no different from any other street
B. Unforgettable People and Things of My Street
