gathered at my parents house to feast upon Mom s wonderful cooking During the normal dinner chatter 闲聊 I noticed that my father was slurring 说话含混 his words No one mentioned this during dinner but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor Mom phoned me two days later The doctor found a brain tumor 肿瘤 It s too large at this point to operate Maybe they can do something then but thethe oddsodds areare longlong Even with the treatment my father s condition worsened and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal 晚期的 During one of his stays in the hospital we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him By this time he had great difficulty speaking

day before How are you feeling Dad I asked Can I do anything for you 5 He tried to speak but he couldn t make out a word I m sorry but I can t understand you I said With great difficulty he said I love you We don t learn courage from heroes on the evening news We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations In many ways my father was a strict uncommunicative

plays a more and more important role in the world economy the Chinese language is forever evolving attracting more attention from people who want to understand this ancient yet vibrant 充满生气的 language For instance the word shanzhai is used to describe the countless knockoffs 名牌仿制品 of iPhones or designer bags imprinted with Louis Vuitton logos Another new term in the new edition is the word fangnu or a mortgage 按揭 slave a term used to describe the phenomenon in large cities whereby well educated youth complain of a miserable existence due to the heavy burden of a home mortgage All these new or often fashionable terms can be found in the new Oxford English Chinese Chinese English dictionary that was unveiled in the recently concluded Beijing International Book Fair last week The dictionary now is available for retail sales since the beginning of this month This dictionary is the largest single volume English Chinese Chinese 8 English dictionary and contains 670 000 words and phrases after five years of preparation Sixty editors from the Oxford University Press and its partner in China the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press worked together on the project According to Julie Kleeman the dictionary s chief editor most of the firm s editors were Chinese while about one fourth were native English speakers We don t want to make it florid 绚丽的 we want it to be modern and conversational many of the words in the present dictionary are no longer in use said Kleeman The need for studying Chinese by foreigners today is totally different from decades ago Precise native and practical that is our core 核心的 advantage she said Kleeman said newer publications updates will be available only for the online version as language often changes too quickly for book versions to keep pace The online version will also offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide The online version allowing access via different platforms from the PC to the iPad will be ready as soon as possible Kleeman said 51 According to Kleeman one of the features that distinguish Oxford English from other dictionaries is that A it has a long history of 115 years B it includes ancient but vibrant language C it is the largest English dictionary ever published D it offers native precise and practical language 52 According to the above passage we learn that A most Chinese editors are also native speakers of English B the Oxford University Press made the dictionary without outside aid C well educated youth in China s big cities have difficulty buying houses D knockoffs can be found in China but not very often 53 The possible reason why newer publications updates are not available for book versions is that A the computer network is available everywhere B book versions can t keep up with the changes of language C book versions can t offer a Chinese phonetic pronunciation guide D computer technology like the PC and the iPad keeps pace with language 54 What is the main idea of the passage A The latest Oxford English Chinese Chinese English Dictionary is on the market B New Chinese terms like shanzhai and fangnu have got into Oxford Dictionary C Oxford Dictionary has become more fashionable due to the Chinese language D Beijing International Book Fair was where the new Oxford Dictionary was 9 published D He came into the room to shut the windows while we were still in bed and I saw he looked ill He was trembling his face was white and he walked slowly as though it ached to move What s the matter Schatz I ve got a headache You better go back to bed No I m all right You go to bed I ll see you when I m dressed But when I came downstairs he was dressed sitting by the fire looking a very sick and miserable boy of nine years When I put my hand on his forehead I knew he had a fever You go up to bed I said You re sick I m all right he said When the doctor came he took the boy s temperature What is it I asked him One hundred and two Downstairs the doctor left three different medicines in different colored capsules with instructions for giving them One was to bring down the fever another a purgative 泻药 the third to overcome an acid condition The germs of influenza can only exist in an acid condition he explained He seemed to know all about influenza and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hundred and four degrees This was a light epidemic of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia 肺炎 Back in the room I wrote the boy s temperature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules Do you want me to read to you All right If you want to said the boy His face was very white and there were dark areas under his eyes He lay still in the bed and seemed very separated from what was going on I read aloud from Howard Pyle s Book of Pirates but I could see he was not following what I was reading How do you feel Schatz I asked him Just the same so far he said I sat at the foot of the bed and read to myself while I waited for it to be time to give another capsule It would have been natural for him to go to sleep but when I looked up he was looking at the foot of the bed looking very strangely Why don t you try to sleep I 11 wake you up for the medicine I d rather stay awake 10 After a while he said to me You don t have to
