He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not know why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids”. I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldnt understand how to make different parts of numbers into whole things.The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr. Young would give me an E, just like he always did. I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage（孤儿院） was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned. I smiled at him and said, “Mr. Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because youre missing your finger?”He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing. “They shouldnt do that to you because you cant help not having a finger, Mr. Young. Just like I cant help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that,” I said.The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B; Drawing, C; English, D; History, C; Gym, B; Art, C; Math, D.That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.

However, a new report suggests shortening school holidays to stop children forgetting what they have learnt during the long summer break. Instead of three school terms, it says, there should be five eight-week terms. And there should be just four weeks off in the summer, with a two-week break between the other terms.Sonia Montero has two children at primary school and works full-time. She supports the idea. “The kids,” she says, “have much longer holidays than me and I cant afford to take several weeks off work, so I need someone to take care of them. But nobody wants the work in the summer months they all have holidays of their own.”Not surprisingly, some young people disagree. Student Jason Panos says, “Its a stupid idea. I would hate staying at school in the summer. Its unfair, too. The people who suggest this had long school holidays when they were young, but now they want to stop us enjoying the summer. The kids in Spain and America have much longer holidays than here, but they dont forget everything theyve learnt in a few months.”Nadia Salib agrees. “Sure,” she says, “the first week at school after the summer is never easy, but you soon get back into it. The real problem round here is that kids get bored after so many weeks out of school, and then some of them start causing trouble. But the answer is to give them something to do, not make everyone stay in school longer.”8. Why is Sonia in support of shorter school holidays?A. She doesnt get any summer holidays in her job.B. She is worried that her children will forget what theyve learnt.C. She cant afford to pay someone to look after her children.D. She cant get anyone to look after her children in summer.9. What does Jason say about long summer holidays?A. They can help children forget about school. B. Schools in other countries dont have them.C. These days many older people have them too. D. They have little influence on childrens education.10. What does Nadia say about young people on summer holidays?A. They would like to spend more time at school.B. Long holidays are very bad for their education. C. They need something to do to enrich themselves.D. Long holidays should be shortened to stop them causing trouble.11. Which of the following statements best explains the text?A. It has been decided that summer holidays should be shortened.B. Students are angry that school holidays have been changed.C. Not everyone agrees to change school holidays.D. Teenagers are worried that they will be busy during summer holidays.DDid you know that the first documented use of OMG was in 1917, or that LOL was once a common term meaning little old ladies in 1960? Thats what the world learned when OMG, LOL, and FYI were added to the Oxford English Dictionary last week. This dictionary is considered by many to be the reference book that defines（给下定义）the English language.Words added to the Oxford English Dictionary are truly considered new members of the language. People invent new words all the time, but only a few become popular enough to get defined in dictionaries.Typed online or in text messages, LOL, FYI, and OMG are initialisms words made from the first letters of several words in a phrase, which can be said aloud letter by letter, like LOL, which now stands for Laugh Out Loud.Faster to type than the full phrases, initialisms like these have been used online since the 1990s. But these three online terms are now spoken offline too, making them different from other online lingo（术语）. Dictionary editors decided the words are used so commonly that they had to be defined this year.The Oxford English Dictionary now defines more than 600,000 words. That adds up to more than 21,730 pages! Guinness World Records calls it the longest dictionary in the world. The Oxford English Dictionary is known for recording words of all kinds popular, outdated, and even foreign words used by English speakers, like taco throughout the languages long history.Another important addition to the dictionary this year was , as in “I NY.” This is the first graphic（图形的）symbol ever defined in the Oxford English Dictionary. The editors added as a verb under the definition of “heart”, meaning “to love”.12. Some new invented words can be added to the Oxford English Dictionary because _.A. they are very popular with peopleB. they are commonly used onlineC. people find them difficult to defineD. people are not clear about their meanings13. What do we learn about initialisms like LOL from the text?A. They are used more commonly in writing than in speech.B. They are now mostly used offline.C.

The text is intended to tell us _.A. how the Oxford English Dictionary is usedB. why the Oxford English Dictionary is commonly usedC. some important additions to the Oxford English DictionaryD.
