　　Every child has a dream of what they want to be, right? When Rence Butts
was little, her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father
was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her father died and she was never able to
volunteer with him. Rence's story doesn't end there, however, which is why I
think of her as a true heroine. She was strong-minded and never gave up, which
makes her a good firefighter.
　　Some days she must be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a
fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who's sick. Other days she
is in the driver's seat. Sometimes Rence works nine to eleven days a month on
24-hour shifts. She also has a family to take care of. Her husband is a firefighter,
too.
Rence remembers the first time she fought a fire. She was awoken early in the
morning by the alarm. She said she was very nervous but did what she had to do.
When I asked Rence what the best part of her job is, she replied. "Helping
people and saving their lives." I think that shows signs of being a true heroine.
She's always glad to do anything for anyone in need. With 140 people in her
station, Rence is one of the only three women.
　　I think she's great. We could never live without people like her who is glad
to help others. Rence's deed helps me believe that I can do anything. I hope
someday to be just like her: to wake up and help people every day.
1. When her father died, Rence Butts _____.
A. gave up her dream                  
B. decided to do as her father did

閱讀理解。
     My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY,
its gr8. 　　
     Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher
in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication
found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language.So, what is
the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we
used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love
New York; it's great. 　　
     Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming (破壞)the English language.
Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could
become corrupted (面目全非的). 　　
     Everyone should just relax, say linguists (語言學家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good
thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language
use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford
University, agrees."People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging,
e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents." 　　
     Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming
the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents,
they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become"corrupted"; they simply
change to meet the new needs. 　　
     However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard
English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get
across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their
future." 　　
     Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text
language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"
1. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? 　　
A. To give an example of a foreign language. 　　
B. To show an example of creative methods. 　　
C. To express worries about using Netspeak. 　　
D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage? 　　
A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly. 　　
B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English. 　　
C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing. 　　
D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.
3. The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______. 　　
A. be fairly sure
B. be greatly surprised 　　
C. think it a pity
D. find it interesting
4. What can be the best title for the passage? 　　
A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet 　　
B. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language? 　　
C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning? 　　
D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages
