1.As was known to us all,many young people go back to their hometown to work after they graduate.

  Computer programmer David Jones earns £35， 000 a year designing new computer games,yet he cannot find a bank which is prepared to let him have a credit card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years,until he is 18.

  He works for a small firm in Liverpool，where the problem of most young people of his age is finding jobs. David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Though he has a high payment,he cannot drive a car,or get credit cards.

  David got his job four months ago,a year after leaving school with six O levels(普通等級考試) and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs," he said.

  "I suppose £35， 000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year.”He spends some of his money on records and clothes,and gives his mother £20 a week as he lives with his parents. But most of his spare time is spent working.

  "Unfortunately,computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young,anyway. I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”

  Chinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as "geiliv-able" might find a new regulation very " ungeilivable". The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication banned the use of Ch-inglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language.

  "Geilivable",combining the pinyin geili (giving strength) with the Eng?lish suffix(后綴) for adjectives,literally means "giving power" or "cool". Dif?ferent suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. " Hengeilivable" means "very cool",and "ungeilivable" means "dull,not cool at all".

  Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens,who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomena in society. One example is "antizen", which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apart?ments,like tiny and laborious ants.

  David Tool?a professor with the Beijing International Studies University,said it's very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. "English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the lan?guage in a flexible way according to their own experiences," Tool said.

  At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern.

  "The administration is totally ' ungeilivable'，" said a netizen named laoda 1713. "I know other netizens will shed tears with me", it is a good chance to enrich our language.”

  "Language is always developing," said a columnist, Wang Pei. "It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom.”

  But an unnamed official with the administration said that,in fact,many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later,the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese ex?pressions. The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language,and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication.
