But some teachers think the changes are not all for the better. Eleanor Johnson, an English professor at Columbia University in New York, says, “think text messaging has made students believe that it is far more acceptable than it actually is to just make spelling and grammatical mistakes. She says her students over the past several years have increasingly used less formal English in their writing. She says words and phrases like “you know now appearing research papers. And she now has to talk about another problem in class-incorrect word use.Professor Johnson doubts a strong connection between the rise of communication online and an increase in writing mistakes. But she admits there may not be much scientific proof, at least not yet.David Crystal, a British language expert, says the actively changing nature of the Internet makes it difficult to stay unchanged in studying its effects. But he believes its effect on language is small. He says, “The main effect of the Internet on language has been to increase the expressive richness of language, providing the language with a new set of communicative content that didnt exist in the past. Erin Jansen, founder of an online dictionary of Internet and text messaging terms, says his new technology has not changed existing language but has greatly added to the vocabulary. “Basically it is a freedom of expression, she says, “If it is helping them write more or communicate more, that is great. That is what teachers and educators want-to get students communicating.But Erin Jansen and David Crystal agree with Eleanor Jonson on at least one thing. Teachers need to make sure students understand the uses and rules of language.9 According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. David Crystal thinks the Internet makes the language expression richer. B. David Crystal believes the Internets effects on language use are clearC. Eleanor Johnson thinks writing mistakes has much to do with the Internet D. Eleanor Johnson thinks all the Internet effects on language use are good10. Eleanor Johnson is mentioned to _.

A. The possibilities of avoiding the use of less formal wordsB. The causes of the Internets great effects on languageC. The necessity of helping students reduce writing mistakesD. The importance of students knowing how to use language12. What could be the best title for the text? A. Students Learning and the Internet: Good or Bad? B. Students Writing and the Internet: Good or Bad? C. Students Papers and the Internet: Good or Bad? D. Students Mistakes and the Internet: Good or Bad?DHave you ever been in a situation, where you felt uneasy because of something you think you may have forgotten to do or perhaps a feeling that you annoyed someone whom you wanted to get along with really well. If you have experienced such feelings and worse on a regular basis, then you most probably are a victim of anxiety attacks.All of us, to some extent, have experienced anxiety at different levels. There are somethings you may know about anxiety, and some things that you may not be familiar with. So in order to be prepared for your unexpected feeling of anxiety, you need to get to know what anxiety is before it escalates into a panic attack.Anxiety is simply the feeling of discomfort, uneasiness or fear of what may eventually happen resulting from an imagined, or a real threatening condition. On the extreme end panic attacks can occur due to heightened(增加) feelings of anxiety.There are two main symptoms(病症) during an anxiety / panic attack and these are physical and emotional symptoms. Physical symptoms include difficulty in breathing, shaking, direct feeling of heat, rapid heartbeat and tiredness while emotional symptoms deal with worrying, depression, fear, and lack of focus.In spite of the negative impression we have for anxiety, it is not dangerous in any way whatever. The feeling of anxiety is not bad, in fact its more of a defensive feeling which protects us from possible danger by engaging a response within us in fight or fight situations. So its not the “bad guy, you just have to learn how to control it. Panic attacks, however, are far more dangerous and should be a concern to your health. Panic can sometimes result in blurred (模糊不清的) vision, difficulty in breathing due to a tight chest. The best way to different anxiety from any serious illness is to ask a medical expert for advice on a regular basis.13According to the passage, a panic attack is _.A. as serious as an anxiety attackB. not so serious as an anxiety attackC. resulted from an anxiety attackD. resulted in an anxiety attack14 The underlined word “escalates in the second paragraph means “_.A. happens suddenlyB. becomes more seriousC. mixes things togetherD. connects something with15A victim of anxiety attacks may have the symptoms that _.A. he doesnt want to have anything to eatB. he has trouble in hearing and visionC. he is always worried about othersD. he cant pay attention to what he does16From the passage we can draw a conclusion that _.A. an anxiety attack does good to usB. an anxiety attack does no harm to usC. an anxiety attack is a serious illnessD. an anxiety attack is very dangerous17 What is the best title for this passage?A. Symptoms of Anxiety AttacksB. Ways of Getting Rid of AnxietyC. Harm Caused by AnxietyD.
