is it needed? if what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid. words possess power: both positive and negative. those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. we can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. negative words destroy all those things. will we use our words to hurt or to heal? the choice is ours.72. the main idea of the first paragraph is that _.a. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us b. inspiring words give us confidencec. negative words may let us down d. words have a lasting effect on us73. there is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _a. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesb. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesc. talking to ourselves always gives us couraged. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone74. the underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _a. praise ourselves b. remind ourselvesc. make ourselves relaxed d. give ourselves amusement75. the author would probably hold the view that _a. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersb. negative words may stimulate us to make more progressc. people tend to remember friendly wordsd. it is better to think twice before talking to others参考答案 72-75 d b a d to switch or not to switch, that is the questiongoogles announcement of its nexus one smartphone（智能手机） happened over a week ago and im still receiving lots of e-mails from readers asking the same question: should they give up their iphone for the nexus one?some people with iphones, disappointed by american telephone&telegraphs inadequate service and the high monthly cost, are wondering if they have really got something to replace itdoes the nexus one offer the functions that apple has led them to expect?im on the fence myself, even though i never thought id be interested in anything but the iphonefrom my experience using the nexus one, and from talking to people who have made the change, its not necessarily about the differences between the iphone and the nexus onethe phones are extremely similar in design and general feelinstead, the decision can be made based on the software（软件） services you use on your desktopmy friend chad dickerson received a pre-launch nexus one from google three weeks agohe said googles phone feels connected to certain services on the web in a way the iphone doesnt“compared to the iphone, the google phone feels like its part of the internet to me,” he said“if you live in a google world, you have that world in your pocket in a way thats cleaner and more connected than the iphone”personally, the phones work perfectly with their own software, but both of them dont make an effort to play well with other services60why are some iphone users expecting a new type of phone?

or i didnt understand, can you repeat that? . its just, say again. no more grammar!in the age of international communication through the internet who knows? . a new form of english might appear. a large number of the worlds e-mails are in english and include examples of netlingo like oic (oh, i see) and ttyl (talk to you later). in another fifty years, english as we know it might not exist . we will probably all speak fluent internetish!61. the best title for the passage would be _.a. seaspeak b. basic english c. easy english d. internetish【答案】c【解析】标题归纳题。根据many experts have tried to make english easier for students to learn文章开头就指出主题怎样把英语变得更加简单，下文叙述了人们的不同做法，故选c。62. it will take a person about _ weeks to learn basic english if he spend
