You may ask, “What happened?”Well, when a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail moves up and down as it runs. When other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they ran, too. They know there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal.Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee finds some food, it goes back to his home. It cant tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.But animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for examples, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs(发出呼噜呼噜的声音) when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning.But human beings have something that no animals have- a large number of words about things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information to tell or inform other people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remind ourselves of the things that have happened, or send messages to people far away. No animals can do this. No animals has the wonderful power of language.No one knows how man learned to make words. Somehow he learned to make them. As centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.People in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. A very large English dictionary, for examples, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we dont know all these. The words we know are called vocabulary. We should try to make our vocabulary larger. Read as many books as possible. When we met a new word, look it up in the dictionary.

In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. Theres no real word for it yet, so we call it e-talk.People dont like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters， acronyms(首字母缩略词). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some are as follows:BRB (be right back), BTW (by the way), LOL (laughing out loud), IMO (in my opinion)People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations include info (information), pic (picture), puter (computer), sec (second), etc.We usually dont see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw feelings, such as:-) (happy) ;-) (joking) :-( (sad) :-O (surprised)These days, many public discussions have picture feelings, for example:(happy) (sad) (angry) ( (cool)There are even whole new words, like newbies(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, its called burning the person.It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.（1）Why do people type acronyms?A . To type them quickly.B . To make jokes.C . To make newbies puzzledD .
