English is an important global language-but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn, but they weren't always successful.

In 1930, Professor C. K. Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words (and just 18 verbs!), and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that those people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn't understand the answers in "real" English! It was also difficult to explain a word which wasn't in the Basic English word list. If you wanted a watermelon(西瓜), you asked for "a large

green fruit with the form of an egg, which has a sweet red inside and a good taste."

R. E. Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was simila English but with much simpler spelling. "Father" became "faadher", "new" became "nue","years" became "yeerz". Sadly, Anglic never became popular.

Even easier is the language which ships' captains use: it's called "Seaspeak". It uses a simple phrases for every possible situation. In "Seaspeak", for example, you don't say "I'm sorry, what did you say?" or "I didn't understand. Can you repeat that?"... it's just "Say again." No more grammar!

In the age of computers and international communication through the Internet, a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world's e-mail messages are in English and indicate examples of NetLingo like O.I.C. (Oh, I see!) and T.T.Y.L. (Talk to you later). In another fifty years English as we know it might not exist. We will probably all speak fluent Internetish!

Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror(镜子 ). Your face is not likely to change and stays young-looking. In 2035, medical science is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you're not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging nanotechnology treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, "Turn red." It changes from blue to red. In 2035, "smart clothes" contain particles, which are very tiny in size and can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You get the milk, but a voice says, "You shouldn't drink that!" Your fridge has read the FRID chip, a piece of electronic equipment, on the milk bottle, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every food item in the supermarket has an FRID chip.

It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your "smart car" where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeves(袖子). Nano-sized "smart technology" is all around you. "Your whole body and everything around you will become part of the same network," says scientist Ampy Buchholz.

So will all these come true? For new technology to succeed, says scientist Andrew Zolli, "it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already." The Internet is one example-what will be the next?

Do you belong to a highly emotionally intelligent person?

As we all know, emotional intelligence (EI) has been an important factor in our success and happiness, not only at work, but in our relationships and all areas of our lives. So what sets emotionally intelligent people apart?

1.

They focus on the positive. While not ignoring the bad news, emotionally intelligent people do not spend a lot of time and energy focusing on problems. 2. These people focus on what they are able to do and what is within their control.

They surround themselves with positive people. People with a lot of EI don’t spend a lot of time listening to complainers. They are aware that those people are not helpful to them. 3. You can spot these folks as they tend to smile and laugh a great deal and attract other positive people. Their warmth, openness, and caring attitude let others look upon them as more trustworthy.

They look for ways to make life more fun, happy, and interesting. Whether it is in their workplace, at home, or with friends, high EI people know what makes them happy and look for opportunities to expand their enjoyment. 4. Therefore, they do whatever they can to brighten someone else’s day.

5. People with high EI are so busy thinking of possibilities in the future that they don’t spend a lot of time worrying about things that didn’t work out in the past. They take the learning from their past failures and apply it to their actions in the future.

A. They are willing to let go of the past.

B. People know how they can use their energy wisely.

C. Here are four habits that people with high EI have:

D. They receive pleasure and satisfaction from seeing others happy.

E. So they always spend time with people that look at the bright side of life.

F. Instead, they use the incident to create awareness of how to not let it happen again.

G. Rather, they look at what is positive in a situation and look for solutions to a problem!

 

You can see a sea turtle named Herman, an octopus ( 章鱼) called Octavia, and a seal named Lidia at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Rather than real animals, they are actually artworks made out of plastic trash from the ocean.

These artworks are part of a traveling exhibit called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”. The Washed Ashore project, led by the artist called Pozzi, works to raise awareness about plastic pollution in Earth’s oceans.

More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world’s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces.

Thousands of sea animals die each year from eating plastic bags and other things. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study found that if that continues, by 2050 the total weight of plastic will be more than that of all the fish in the ocean.

The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures harmed by plastic pollution.

“These artworks are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity (生物多样性) on land and in the sea,” says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.

1.What is the purpose of the artworks shown at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo?

A. To let people know about animals in the ocean.

B. To introduce one way of recycling plastic trash.

C. To warn people of plastic pollution in the ocean.

D. To show Pozzi’s great gift for creating artworks.

2.According to the passage, what is the source of plastic pollution in the ocean?

A. Garbage from towns and cities.    B. Trash left on beaches by people.

C. Plastic bags broken up by waves.    D. Litter created by human activities.

3.The data in Paragraph 5 is given to prove that       .

A. plastic pollution will be more serious in the ocean

B. more and more artworks of sea creatures will be made

C. the Washed Ashore project has made great achievements

D. volunteers can solve the ocean pollution successfully by 2050

4.What’s Dennis Kelly’s attitude towards the artworks?

A. Worried.    B. Supportive.

C. Doubtful.    D. Unconcerned.

5.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Turning Trash into Art    B. Working for Washed Ashore

C. Collecting Plastic Trash    D. Stopping Environmental Pollution

 

Flying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throwyour bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA.

The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard.

However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don’t normally see.

The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices.

This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter.

1.The first paragraph is meant to       .

A. offer a suggestion    B. give a warning

C. explain a reason    D. introduce the topic

2.It can be learned from the text that more and more people will       .

A. prefer to read local news    B. pay more attention to world news

C. start a career in citizen journalism    D. give up watching TV news programmes

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A. The Latest Local News    B. More Choices for News

C. The End of TV News    D. Traditional World News
