What do you do if you?re stranded （处于困境的）on a lonely island？Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of Body signals（信号）.
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line，it means “yes”. When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side ，it means“no”. If you want the pilot to know that it?s safe to land，push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it?s not safe to land ，put your arms in the air and move them to one side. Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away ，so it?s a good way to draw attention .If the weather is 为dry，it isn?t hard to start a fire. Remember ，however，that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you?re sure that it can?t spread .If the ground is dark，light smoke can be seen more easily .Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It?s a good idea to build some signals，too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols（标记）.If you can?t find any wood，use earth. Some useful symbols are： F “I need food and water”. II “I need medicine”. I “I am badly hurt”.
X “I am unable to move from here.” Pilots’ replies
If the pilot lowers the plane?s wings from side to side ，this means“message received and understood”（At night，the pilot flashes the plane?s green lights.）If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle ，this means“message received but not understood”.（At night ，the pilot flashes the plane?s red lights.）
However ，there is no signal which means “message not received”. Why not？ 54、Which picture means“it?s not safe to land”？
55、What can we learn from the passage？
A、Swinging your arm from side to side means“yes”. B、If the ground is dark，light smoke can?t be seen. C、If you need some medicine ，make a symbol “II”. D、The pilots make replies with a blue light at night. 56、What is the passage mainly about？
A、The explanation of building signals on an island . B、The importance of building signals on an island. C、Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.
D、Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island.

My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, WE USED 2go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 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(破坏) 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(语言学家). 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 Milroy 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. Text is just for fun.” 57. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To give an example of foreign paragraph. B. To show an example of creative method. C. To express worries about using Netspeak. D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.
58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Cynthia McVry 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. 59. The expression “bet your bottom dollar” in paragrap5 means_.
A. be fairly sure B. be greatly surprised interesting
60. 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

We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节俭的消费者) is one way to help. Bet, what exactly does that mean? Use It Up
You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last title piece of soap. Don?t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
Wear It Out
You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don?t have to have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn?t work any more. They you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still work. Make It Do
When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new. Do Without
Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up our world?s resources (资源). And, getting rid of the things we don?t want any more takes up even
C. think it a pity D. find it
more resources and space.
65. Do we need to be responsible for our environment? 66. How do we deal with the last little piece of soap? 67. When do we need to get a new iphone?
68. What should we do when something we want is not on hand? 69. What does the writer want to tell us?
