There was once a blind man, who did a lot of traveling alone. He was making his first trip to Texas and happened to be seated next to a Texan on the flight.
The Texan spent a lot of time telling him how everything was bigger and better in Texas. After the blind man reached his destination, a large resort (度假) hotel, he was very excited about being in Texas.
The long trip had worn him out a little so he decided to stop at the bar for a small soda and a light snack before going up to his room to sleep.
When the waitress set down his drink, it was in a huge cup. “Wow, I had heard everything in Texas is bigger,” he told her.
“That’s right,” she replied. The blind man ate his snack and finished his drink. After drinking such a large amount, it was natural that his next stop was to be the restroom. He asked the waitress for directions. She told him to turn left at the corner, and then take the second door on the right.
He reached the first door and continued. A few steps later he stumbled (絆倒) slightly and missed the second door and ended up going through the third door instead. Not realizing he had entered the swimming area he walked forward and immediately fell into the swimming pool.
Remembering that everything was bigger in Texas, he had his head above water and started shouting “Don’t flush(沖洗)! Don’t flush!”

Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett’s jeans and full of burn holes.
Tired and defeated, I   31   to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had 32  . He often got almost everything in the house out of    33  . Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking   34  to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could compare to the emotional   35    Brett had done to our once quiet home.
Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett a   36  as possible, but inside I was shouting. “I don’t want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can’t   37  him!” Having wiped my tears, I continued   38  him as before.
When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall(少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping   39  teens.
At the   40  ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had  41  the most to him or her. Brett spoke   42  to his parents and then spoke to me, “You did so much. You were always there, no matter   43  . My mom and dad, I was their kid. But you,  44   troubled enough by me, always   45  me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it.”
  46  , I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me   47  .
At that moment, tears   48  in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for   49 . Although I had struggled with silent   50  toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Interact forum(論壇)asking what“PK”meant．
“My family has been watching the‘Super Girl’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“Super Girl”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 ranking．
Like this father，Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students’compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand．A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write 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”refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei(beautiful girl)．“FB”means Fu Bai(corruption)．“KPM”is short for KF．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，referring to an ugly looking female)ora Qing wa(frog，referring to 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 language
B．suggest common Internet language
C．laugh at the Beijing father
D．draw our attention to Internet language
小題2:What does the writer think about the term“PK”?                       
A．Fathers can’t possibly know it．
B．The daughter should understand it．
C．Online game players may know it．
D．“Super Girl”shouldn’t have used it．
小題3:The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons          ．
A．a(chǎn)re used not only online
B．can be understood very well
C．a(chǎn)re welcomed by all the people
