Much has been said and written about heroes now, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they usually seem to have two things. First, heroes show their great power by actions. Second, heroes can be tested by the time. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.

Olympic winner Jackie Joyner-Kersee tells young people to work hard. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has got success by working hard. She says that a hero should affect another person’s life.
Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions, even though only in small ways.
Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who appear on newspapers, but heroes are people who make history.” If a person is truly a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.
We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect (尊重) people around us. Many times , the greatest heroes are the people we can see every day — our relatives, friends, and neighbours — who will never give up when facing difficulty. The parent who supports our family, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help students — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero sets a good example, an example that encourages others to follow.

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of old skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful--both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology(心理學(xué)) at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children learn the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her workmates carried out a study that looked at the ability of students to complete different writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, people wrote longer articles and more complete sentences.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us get our vocabulary, word meaning and ideas. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(轉(zhuǎn)換) “those words in the mind into written symbols(標(biāo)志) on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to notice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the choices given by the computer.”
小題1:Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
A．Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
B．Spelling ability is closely tied to writing ability.
C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
小題2:What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Window.B．Emotion.
C．Picture.D．Imagination.
小題3:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Computers can help people with their choice of words.
B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
D．Spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum(論壇) asking what “PK” meant.
“My family has been watching the ‘I Am the Singer’ singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the “I Am the Singer” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition raking.
Like this father, Chinese teachers at Middle schools have also been finding their students using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write the compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.
“My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.
“GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” is Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl).“FB” means Fu Bai (corruption).“KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language. If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, meaning an ugly looking femal) or a Qing Wa (frog, meaning an ugly looking male ) is, you will possibly be regarded as a CaiNiao!
小題1:By writing the article, the writer tries to _________.
A．explain some Internet jargons
B．suggest common Internet jargons
C．laugh at the Beijing father
D．draw our attention to Internet jargons
小題2:What does the underlined word Internet jargons mean?
A．Internet languageB．Internet action
C．Internet behaviorD．Internet fashion
小題3:What does the writer think about the word “PK”?
A．Fathers can’t possibly know it.
B．The daughter should understand it.
C．Online game players may know it.
D．“I Am the Singer” shouldn’t have used it.
小題4:The example of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons____.
A．a(chǎn)re used not only onlineB．can be understood very well
C．a(chǎn)re welcomed by all the peopleD．cause trouble to our mother tongue
小題5:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．A Puzzled Father!B．Do You Speak Internet English?
C．Keep away from Internet English!D．Kong Long or Qing Wa?

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED, 牛津英語(yǔ)詞典) is thinking of adding the Chinese word tuhao (土豪) to its 2014 edition (版本).
The word has become popular in China during the past few months to describe newly rich people who spend money in extravagant（鋪張的，浪費(fèi)的）ways. Tuhao has caught on in Western countries, too, to describe similar people in their countries.
The adoption (采用) of the word by foreign countries is an example of China’s spreading influence in the world not just economically, but also socially and culturally. People are paying attention to what is happening in China and are picking up some Chinese words in the process, especially those words that express unique (獨(dú)特的) Chinese ideas that cannot be easily translated (翻譯) into English.
The OED is also thinking of adding hukou (戶口) and dama (大媽) to the already 120 Chinese words in its dictionary. Hukou refers to (指的是) China’s system of residency permits (戶籍系統(tǒng)) and dama refers to middle-aged Chinese women whose gold buying habits influence the global gold markets. The news that the OED was adding these words has met with some criticism (批評(píng)). Some people say the words embarrass (使人尷尬) China, but others insist that in a globalized (全球化的) society it’s natural for words to spread and be adopted elsewhere. In fact, a word like tuhao expresses the humor of China. It’s easy to pronounce (發(fā)音) and very accurate (精準(zhǔn)的) at poking fun at (嘲弄) rich people who have more money than taste.
小題1:_____ may be adopted in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2014 according to the passage.
A．TuhaoB．HukouC．DamaD．All above
小題2:_____can be called “tuhao” according to the passage.
A．All newly rich people
B．People who own their money easily
C．People who love money very much
D．Newly rich people who spend money in an extravagant way
小題3:The underlined word “caught on” (in Paragraph 2) most probably  means________.
A．流行B．繼續(xù)C．接受D．蔓延
小題4:The last paragraph mainly talks about __________________.
A．humor of Chinese style
B．criticism on the adoption of Chinese words into OED
C．support on the adoption of Chinese words into OED
D．different opinions on the adoption of Chinese words into OED
