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 Cai Niao!

76.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

77.What does the underlined word Internet jargons mean?

  A.Internet language    B.Internet action     C.Internet behavior    D.Internet fashion

78.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.

79.The example of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons__________.

  A.are used not only online                    B.can be understood very well

  C.are welcomed by all the people              D.cause trouble to our mother tongue

80.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?

     76. D                            77. A                          78.C                          79. A         80.B

You may know about “ junk food” like French fries. But do you know about “junk sleep”?
Recently, a British survey found that electronic(電子) products in teenagers bedrooms are affecting(影響)their sleep.
The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It found that thirty percent of them got just 4 to 7 hours sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.
