24、 When we do not understand each other's language, we can talk with the help of signs.
A Frenchman was once traveling in England. He could not speak English at all. One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. He wanted to say, "Bring me something to eat.”
The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The man moved his head from side to side. The waiter understood him and took the tea away. In a moment he came with a cup of coffee. But the man again refused(拒绝) it. He shook(摇) his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink, for drinks are not food, After a while, another man came in. This man saw the waiter, and he put his hand on his stomach(胃).That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.

25、 According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, an international nonprofit (非盈利的) environmental organization, Shenzhen tops all Chinese cities in walking environment. It’s reported that Shenzhen has built a number of parks and greenways in recent years. Now there are about 2,500 kilometres of greenways available for people to enjoy healthy activities.
In order to make greenways that satisfy people, the Shenzhen Greenway Office has set up rest areas, environmental-friendly toilets, signs and so on. At a rest area on the Shatou greenway in Futian District, things like medical kits and drinking water are available for people. “We can stay here to keep out of the rain and have water to drink, which is good,” said a cleaner who often goes there and drinks some of the water. At another rest area on the round-city greenway in Longhua District, people can see many volunteers providing help for others. More places such as nursery rooms (育婴室) and book bars have also been set up there.

And each district has one greenway map with information introducing the history and tourist places along the greenway. A woman living in Futian District says that she takes a walk on a greenway every weekend and the greenway map helps her a lot. “It offers a lot of information, such as how long the greenway is and where the toilets are,” she said.

26、Making a turtle feel welcome
On a cold, rainy day, a boy found a turtle(乌龟) along the river. He was very happy, hoping to raise the turtle as his lovely pet.
He put the turtle on a stone and watched it for a long time. But the turtle didn’t move. Out of curiosity(好奇), the boy started to examine it to find out what was wrong with it. But the turtle pulled in its head and firmly closed its shell. The boy was upset. He grabbed the turtle and began to shake it. But the turtle still stayed in its shell. The boy picked up a stick to try to pry it open.
The boy’s uncle was watching all of this.
“No, that’s not the way,” he yelled.
“In fact, you may kill the turtle before you make it open up with a stick.”
The boy’s uncle took the turtle into the house and set it near the fireplace. The turtle didn’t move at all until it got warm. Then it pushed out its head, stretched out its legs and began to crawl. “Turtles are like that,” said the uncle, “and people, too.”

27、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.
School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming 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 tomorrows 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(/E)English. Cynthia Me Vey 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.”
【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 method
C. To express worries about using Netspeak.
D. To start the topic of Netspeak through an example.
【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 means__________.
A. be quite 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. Netspeak Harming the English Language?
C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?
D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages
