We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding 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. Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. 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(縮寫). They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
Info(information)       puter (computer)
Pie(picture)           sec (second)
We usually don’t see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keywords to draw “feeling”, such as:
:-)(happy)    :-p(joking)   :-( (sad)    :-0 (surprised)
These days, many forums(論壇) have picture feelings. For example,

(sad)      (happy)
There are even whole new words, like“newbie’s”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum).
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbie’s have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
小題1:What does the underlined word “acronyms” mean?
A．網(wǎng)友B．聊天室C．首字母縮寫詞D．關鍵詞
小題2:Why do people type acronyms?
A．To show their feelings.
B．Because people can type them quickly.
C．In this way newbie’s won’t understand them.
D．To make people use Internet
小題3:What does “BTW, my puter is not working well. :- ( ” mean ?
A．The person is angry at somebody.
B．The person is happy about getting a new computer
C．The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
D．The person is joking that his computer is having problems.
小題4:E-talk will probably _______.
A．keep changing
B．be easy by people on the telephone
C．be used by people on the telephone
D．make life easier
小題5:What’s the best title for this passage?
A．E-talk LanguageB．Picture Feelings
C．How to Use AbbreviationsD．use the Internet

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:C
小題4:A
小題5:A

試題分析：本文主要介紹了近年以來網(wǎng)上出現(xiàn)的一種網(wǎng)絡語言，為了節(jié)省打字的時間，把幾個英文單詞縮寫成幾個大寫字母的組合或者是用單詞的部分表示整體，或用一個簡單的圖形來表示某種含義。適應這些新的網(wǎng)絡語言需要花費一定的時間，并且隨著網(wǎng)絡的發(fā)展，這種變化還會繼續(xù)進行下去。
小題1:根據(jù)To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters called acronyms.及下文描述可知選C。
小題2:根據(jù)People don’t like typing too much.及下文描述可知這樣的縮寫詞打起來比較快，故選B。
小題3:根據(jù)BTW (by the way) 和puter (computer)可知句意為：順便說一下，我的電腦出問題了。故選C。
小題4:根據(jù)As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.可知選A。
小題5:通過閱讀短文，可知本篇短文主要描述了網(wǎng)絡時代e-talk的發(fā)展歷史。故選A。
點評：本文淺顯易懂，貼近生活，尤其對于經(jīng)常接觸網(wǎng)絡的初中生來說，理解起來不難。各小題出的較有針對性，基本都能在文中找出答題依據(jù)，細心閱讀即可。

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world — and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria, “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest — I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real — and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!
小題1:The first Laughter Club was started in _____.
A．BritainB．AmericaC．AustraliaD．India
小題2:The writer felt _____ at the beginning of the class?
A．surprisedB．pleasedC．nervousD．stressful
小題3:The people in the club began to laugh for real _____?
A．a(chǎn)fter ten minutesB．a(chǎn)fter ten hoursC．a(chǎn)fter a few seconds D．a(chǎn)fter ten days
小題4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.
B．40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.
C．Adults laugh more often than children in a day.
D．Laughing is the best way to prevent illness.

The keys to reaching or staying at a healthy weight are regular exercise and good eating habits. Teens should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity a day. Note the word “activity”. As long as you’re getting your body moving, it doesn’t have to mean doing difficult exercise or going to the sports hall every day. All that matters is that each week you get the right balance of activity, including aerobics (有氧運動), strength building, and flexibility (柔韌) exercise. Make exercise a habit by arranging some time every day.
On days when you have soccer practice or an aerobics class, you may have no trouble exercising for an hour or more. But most of us are busy, and 60 minutes a day for exercise seems like a lot of time. The good news is that it’s OK to divide it into shorter exercise breaks throughout the day.
Just as you might have a healthy snack to stop yourself from getting hungry, exercise snacks can keep energy levels high. So get up 15 minutes early and do some stretching (伸展) activity. Walk fast or run slowly for 15 minutes after lunch. Do the same thing after school — or walk or bike home. Add to that taking the stairs, PE class, and walking between classes during the day, and you’ve probably reached your 60 minutes.
Here are five simple ways to make an exercise lifestyle change:
小題1:The writer thinks many people probably misunderstand the word“activity” to be “_______”.  
A．physical activityB．body movement
C．sports hall exerciseD．outdoor exercise
小題2:When exercising, the most important fact is ________.
A．the time spent on exercise
B．the intensity of activity
C．the difficulty of exercise
D．the right balance of activity
小題3:The author advises dividing activity into shorter exercise breaks because ___.
A．exercising for a long time is bad for people’s health
B．it has the same effect as soccer practice
C．people usually haven’t much time to exercise
D．no one can spare lots of time to exercise
小題4:What’s the best title for this passage?
A．Regular exercise.B．School exercise.
C．Indoor exercise.D．Difficult exercise

C
“Everything happens for the best.” Whenever I faced disappointment, my mother would say this to me.
After I graduated form college in 1932, I decided to find a job in radio as a sports announcer(廣播員). I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But unluckily, I was refused every time.
At one station, a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn’t hire(雇傭) a person without any experience and suggested that I try my luck at smaller stations. Following her advice, I went back to Dixon, where I had grown up. There were no such jobs in Dixon, and my father said a newly-opened store wanted a local athlete to work for it. I wanted this job, but I was refused again.
“Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, I felt so frustrated. “How can I become a sports announcer if I can’t get a job in a radio station?” I asked aloud.
While I was waiting for the elevator, I heard someone calling. It was MacArthur. “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to have a try. He was pleased with my performance, and he offered me a chance to work there.
On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words: “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if without the failure before.”

Sales of laptop computers passed desktops in the U.S. for the first time ever this fall, according to market-research firm IDC. That's bad news for backs, necks and shoulders.
Laptops are bad for our body. When you work at a computer, the keyboard should be at elbow height and the monitor should be roughly at eye level, so you can sit well in a chair. But most users simply set their laptops on a desk or table. The keyboard is too high, which makes your arms reach up, your shoulders feel tired and your wrists bend down. The monitor is too low, which pulls your head and neck forward and down and your back may feel hurt.
That's OK if you use your laptop for a short time. But if you use one for hours without stopping – as do millions of college students, business travelers, telecommuters, video-gamers and growing numbers of office workers – your body may feel hurt. Ergonomics experts have warned about laptop problems for years. But people still like laptops better than the desktops. And they use laptops anywhere – in bed, on the floor – in all kinds of positions.
“How can a mouse or a keyboard hurt you?” says Thomas Caffrey, the founder of Myofactors LLC, “Wrong positions can be bad for your body. As time goes by, a wrong position can lead to pain in the neck, shoulders, back and arms, as well as headaches.”
小題1:When you work at a computer, the keyboard should be ________.
A．a(chǎn)t elbow heightB．a(chǎn)t eye height
C．on a deskD．on a table
小題2:The writer asks us not to use the laptop ________.
A．for a short time B．to play video games
C．for hours without stopping D．to buy things on the Internet
小題3:From the passage, we know that laptop computers ________.
A．a(chǎn)re not so popular as the desktops
B．a(chǎn)re more popular than the desktops
C．a(chǎn)re not bad for our body
D．have no mouse now
小題4:Using a laptop in a wrong position may make ________.
A．people’s sight lowerB．people have cancer
C．people’s arm longerD．people feel pain in the body
小題5:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．When you use a laptop, you should put your monitor at eye height.
B．Laptop computers sold more than desktops this autumn.
C．To keep healthy, you should use laptop computers.
D．Business travelers often use the laptop computers for a long time.

There are many things you can do to improve your memory. Among them are many kinds of useful ways are well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain（大腦）to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it .Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.
An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.
In order to keep your mind on your work, you must be free from worry. Generally keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well-not just for improving your memory.
