send a text message! it takes much less effort than arriving on time, and it s much less awkward than explaining your lateness face to face and the text message has changed the way we write in english. traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important when you re sitting on the bus, hurriedly typing “will b 15mm late - c u the bar sorry! - ）”. alexander graham bell would be amazed if he could see how far the science of telephony has progressed in less than 150 years. if he were around today, he might say“that s gr8! but i m v busy rite nowwill call u 2nite.”28what does the underlined part in para2 refer to? ahouses of modern cities. bsharp-suited characters. cnew type of professionals. dmobile phones.29according to paragraph 4, why did meeting times become approximate? apeople were more likely to be late for their meeting. bsms made it easier to inform each other. cyoung people don t like unchanging things. dtraditional customs were dying out.30if you want to meet your friend at the school gate this evening, which of the following message can you send him? acall u skug8 2nite. bim2bz2cu 2nite. ccu the bar g8 2nite. dw84u skug8 2nite.31what does the passage mainly tell us about? aalexander graham s invention. bsms a new way of communication. cnew functions of the mobile telephone. dthe development of the mobile phone.d edward snowdenthe fugitive（逃亡者）former usintelligence employee appears to be stuck in moscow, unable to leave without a valid american passport, according to interviews sunday with two men who had sought to aid him: wikileaks julian assange and ecuadoran president rafael correa. snowden, 30, arrived at moscows sheremetyevo international airport last weekend, after previously taking refuge in hong kong moscow was only supposed to be a stopoverwikileaks, the anti-secrecy organization, had said snowden was headed on to ecuadorwhose president has been critical of the united states and that he would seek asylum there. now, however, both men said snowden is unable to leave.“the united states, by canceling his passport, has left him for the moment trapped in russia,”said assange, the founder of wikileaks, on abcs“this week with george stephanopoulos”. the united states canceled snowdens passport last weekend. assange criticized the united states, saying:“ to take a passport from a young man in a difficult situation like that is a disgusting action.” president correa spoke to the associated press in puerto viejo, ecuador. for now, he told the ap, snowden was“under the care of the russian authorities.” “this is the decision of russian authorities. he doesnt have a passport. i dont know the russian laws, i don t know if he can leave the airport, but i understand that he can t,”correa said. he said that the case was now out of ecuador s hands.“if snowden arrives at an ecuadoran embassy, we 11 analyze his request for asylum.” snowden traveled from hong kong to moscow on his u. s. passport. although the u.s. had already revoked it, hong kong authorities said they hadnt received the official request to cancel the passport before snowden left. an official at the ecuadoran embassy in london had also issued a letter of safe passage for snowden but snowden apparently did not use it for his trip to moscow. and it doesnt appear that the ecuadoran government would make a similar gesture again on sunday, correa told the ap that an ecuadoran official at that embassy had committed“a serious error”by issuing the first letter without consulting officials back home. correa said the consul would be punished, although he didnt specify how. correa s tone seemed to have shifted after a conversation with vice president biden on friday. where correa had earlier been aggressive and determined, he now voiced respect for u. s. legal procedures.32edward snowden is a person who once worked in a federal department . ato assist the governor of one state bto collect information secretly for the us cto organize overseas promotion campaign dto educate intelligence employees33which of the following word can take the place of the underlined word in para. 2 ?
