He passed round a skull（头骨）as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening . Later , we had a test about that .When he returned my paper , I was very , very surprised . There was a very large cross through each of my answers . And so it was with everyone elses in our class .What had happeded ? Everyone was wondering and couldnt wait to get the answer .Very simple , Mr Whiteson explaned . He had made up all that story about the cattytiger . There had never been such an animal . So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers ?Needless to say , we got very angry . What kind of teacher was this ?We should have guessed it out , Mr Whiteson said . After all , at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull（in fact , a cats）, hadnt he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age ? Clearly he was telling a lie . But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head . We should learn something from this . Teachers and textbooks are not always correct .1.

To keep out of trouble , the Weather Bureau says , “ Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is only accidental（巧合）. ”Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names , but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines . They dont even care that they are the names of destructive storms . Because more women seem to like it than dislike it , the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girls names for hurricanes .In some ways a hurricane is like a person . After it is born , it grows and develops , then becomes old and dies . Each hurricane has a character（特征）of its own . Each follows its own way through the world , and people remember it long after it has gone . So it is natural to give hurricanes names , and to talk about them almost as if they were alive .5. What happens to girls named Hazel when hurricane Hazel is reported ?A. They suffer from hurricanes . B. The Weather Bureau looks for them .C. Others often make fun of them . D. They cant find boyfriends .6. Public opinions make the Weather Bureau .A. stop naming hurricanes after womenB. go on naming hurricanes after womenC. name hurricanes after menD. look for a new method to name hurricanes7. It is natural to give hurricanes names because .A. they become old and die B. all of them should be rememberedC. each hurricane has its day to come D. each hurricane has its own character8. According to the passage , which is more reasonable ?A. Some women feel unhappy because hurricanes are given their names .B. All the hurricanes are caused by women .C. Many women want to be reported by TV and newspaper .D. A hurricane grows and develops in the same way as a person .CCan you understand the beginning of this essay ? “ My smmr hols wr CWOT . B4 , we usd 2 go 2 NY 2 C my bro , his GF&3 kds FTF .”The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant . The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text message . Text messages（also called Short Message Service）through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s . At first , mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers , but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other . Teenagers in particular enjoyed suing text messaging , and they began to create a new language for messages called texting .A texting message is limited to 160 characters , including letters , spaces , and numers , so messages must be kept short . In adition , typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult , so its common to make words shorter . In texting , a single letter or number can represent a word , like “ r ” for “ are ” , “ u ” for “ you ”, and “ 2 ” for “ to ” . Several letters can also represent a phrase , like “ lol ” for “ laughing out loud . ” Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word , like spelling “ please ” as “ pls ” .Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers . The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her .（The essay said , “ My summer holidays were a complere waste of time . Before , we used to go to New York to see my brother , his girlfriend , and their three kids face to face . ”）Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing . Some experts say languages always evolve , and this is just another way for English to change . Other people believe texting will disappear soon . New technology for voice message may soon make text messages a thing of the past .9. Whats the writers opinion of texting messaging ?A. It is fun and easy to do . B. It is not bad for children .C. It will make children bad writers .D. The writer doesnt give an opinion .10. Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage ?A. using letters to represent words .B. using numbers to represent words .C. using letters to represent phrases.D. using phrases to represent essays .11. Which of the following was most probably the title of the students essay ?A. My Gr8 Tchr B. CU in LA C. My GF D. My Smmr Hols12. Why arent some people worried about the effect of texting ?A. Not many people use texting .B. Texting will disappear because of new technology .C. Children quickly become bored with texting .D.
