administration of press and publication last week banned the use of chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the chinese language. “geilivable”, combining the pinyin geili (giving strength) with the english suffix (后缀) for adjectives, literally means “giving power” or “cool”. different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. “hengeilivable” means “very cool”, and “ungeilivable” means “dull, not cool at all”.cyber language is popular among chinese netizens, who create chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society. one example is “antizen”, which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants.david tool, a professor with the beijing international studies university, said its very interesting to combine chinese with english to create new words. “english is no longer mysterious to the chinese people. they can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences,” tool said.at the announcement of the regulation by the general administration of press and publication, netizens expressed their concern. “the administration is totally ungeilivable,” said a netizen named laoda1713. “i know other netizens will shed tears with me. it is a good chance to enrich our language.”“language is always developing,” said a columnist (专栏作家), wang pei. “it needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom.”but an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal chinese expressions. the official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in chinese language, and it only banned chinglish words in the publication.62the new regulation by the general administration of press and publication may be aimed at _. a. simplifying the chinese languageb.

to staying young, british scientists have revealed.vitamin d is produced naturally by the skin in response to sunlight and may help to slow the aging process and protect against heart disease, according to the study.researchers from kings college london studied 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres - a biological marker of ageing found in dna. as people get older their telomeres get shorter and they become more susceptible to certain illnesses.but the study found women with high levels of vitamin d had comparatively longer telomeres - a sign of being biologically younger and healthier.the study suggests vitamin d may help to slow down the ageing process of dna, and therefore the ageing process as a whole. lead researcher dr brent richards said: these results are exciting because they demonstrate for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin d may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin d.this could help to explain how vitamin d has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.he said further studies are required to confirm the findings.professor tim spector, head of kcls twin research unit, and a co-author of the report, added: although it might sound absurd, its possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the general ageing process.vitamin d made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 per cent of the bodys supply, but lower levels can also be obtained through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals.other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease. 36. the passage mentions all of the items listed below except_.a. the findings havent been confirmed entirely.b. people become easily infected with some illnesses when they get older.c. vitamin d obtained through fish, eggs and breakfast cereals accounts for 10 percent of the bodys supply.d. the discovery could help explain how vitamin d has a positive effect on cancer.37. the phrase “demonstrate for” in the 7th paragraph probably means_. a. claim b. prove c. think d. provide38. it can be inferred that_. a. women with high levels of vitamin d have shorter telomeres. b. studies have confirmed the findings. c. sunshine may be a cause of the risk of skin cancer.d. if someone has heart disease, sunshine may help him to relieve the disease. 39. the main idea of the passage is that_. a. vitamin d can help protect against cancer and heart disease. b. sunshine helps keep you young. c. what effect vitamin d has on humans body. d. high levels of vitamin d make people keep young. 参考答案 36-39 cbcb 阅读理解-da bad working memory (大脑的工作记忆) the brains temporary storage box - may explain, new research suggests, why one child cannot read his or her history book and another gets lost in math. as many as 10 percent of school-age children may suffer from poor working memory. british researchers said in a report last week, yet the problem is rarely identified.“you can think of working memory as a pure measure of your childs potential. many psychologists consider working memory to be the new iq (智商), because we find that working memory is one of the most important predictors (预示物) of learning ability,” said dr. tracey alloway of britains durham university.many children with poor working memory are considered lazy or dull. working memory allows people to hold in their minds and deal with a few items, such as telephone numbers, over a short period of time. alloway compares working memory to a box. for adults, the basic box size is thought to be three to five items. its important, therefore, to put in the right things. irrelevant (不相关的) information will clutter (混乱) working memory.the question many researchers are struggling with is how to help children with this problem, which appears to be closely related to a lack of attention.“in children with learning difficulties, it becomes a huge issue, especially around middle school, when the demands on working memory really grow,” said dr. mel levine, co-founder of all kinds of minds, a nonprofit organization in north carolina that studies learning difficulties.memory training may help improve working memory. alloway has a tool that allows teachers to assess (评定) the working-memory capacity of children as young as 4; it has been used in 35 schools across britain.levines organization trains teachers through a program called schools attuned, which
