They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from elegant (优雅的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”.“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me My hometown is Henan Province, I know he should say: My hometown is in Henan Province. Hometown is a smaller place in a province.” The common mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.（1）What does the writer think of the use of “WC”? A . He doesnt think it means water closet.B . He doesnt think it old-fashioned English.C . He doesnt think it proper for a sign.（2）The underlined word “rarely” means_. A . sometimesB . seldomC . often（3）Charlie Shifflet _. A . is a Chinese living in AmericaB . thinks Chinese people are sometimes using incorrect EnglishC . likes to hear or see Chinglish（4）Which of the following signs does NOT use Chinglish? A . B . C . （5）The last paragraph is about_. A . why there are so many Chinglish signsB . examples of ChinglishC . where Chinglish signs are14. （6分） It seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot(点) on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, youll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, youll find the letter R disappearing.Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye. When the image of the letter falls on the blind spot, it wont be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears. （1）The writer of the passage thinks that _ there is a blind spot on the eye.A . few people knowB . no one knowsC . most people knowD . all the people know（2）In which order should you do the experiment?Hold the cardMove the card nearerClose your right eyeWrite two English lettersLook at the letter RMake a cardA . B . C .

She gave Gulliver to the King as a present. The King enjoyed listening to Gulliver talk about his home country and his travels.

While they were there, a large eagle picked up Gullivers house, with Gulliver in it, and carried him high up into the air. But the house was too heavy, so the eagle dropped it into the sea.
