Similarly, the slang(俚语), or casual language, spoken only between schoolmat

22、es and friends is different among American and British children. Furthermore, students from the public schools of England use different slang expressions from those in the private schools. The following introduces a few slang expressions popular among British school children(both now and in the past

23、), along with their meanings and the schools where the expressions are most likely to be heard.Take the word “beard” for example. Of course, a beard is the hair on a mans face, especially on his chin, but classmates at The Leys, a private school at Cambridge, use it to show surprise. For example, if

24、 a boy were to open his locker, and a book came jumping out, he might shout, “Beards!”Heres another funny example: in regular language, “a good egg” means an edible(可食用的) and delicious chicken egg. But at Eton, a famous public school in England, “a good egg” refers to a trustworthy classmate. This “

25、good egg” might not be very popular and might not be your best friend. But he or she is basically a pleasant and obedient (顺从) classmate.At Winchester School, however, you might never hear the phrase “good egg”, but you are likely to hear the phrase “bad egg”. In this case, “a bad egg” is someone wh

26、o disobeys in class, does not respect his friends or causes trouble in the classroom.Such a “bad egg” might receive a “brushing” at Christs Hospital School. This doesnt mean that the student must brush his or her hair! This “brushing” is much more painful, as it refers to punishment. If the headmast

27、er or principal “brushes” a student, he or she has struck the bad student on the backside.Young learners at St Pauls School might choose to escape “bad eggs” and potential “brushings” by retreating into a carrel in the school library. A carrel is a very small room, often the size of a closet(壁橱), re

28、served for private studying. Students can store their books, notebooks and other school supplies in their carrels and retreat there to study or read between and after classes. If these dedicated students were attending Westminster School, however, they would go to their carrels to “muzz”. This is th

29、e Westminster way of saying to read!1. If this passage were published in a newspaper, the best title will be _.A. Slang in English B. British SchoolsC. Slang Used by Students D. Good Egg or Bad Egg2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the first paragraph?A. Though from the same root, Am

30、erican English and British English differ.B. Most English speakers might not be able to understand the slang used by British students.C. Students from one school in England might not be able to understand the slang used in another school.D. Slang or casual language is a big threat to peoples daily c

31、ommunication.3. A carrel at St Pauls School is all of the following except _.A. a shelter for students to escape from bad studentsB. a big room for private studyC. a place where they can store their booksD. a small room in the school library4.

32、_.A. open their lockers and have books jump outB. shout “beards”C. touch their beardsD. run to their carrels5.

33、ospital School brushing surprise D. Westminster School muzz read B The advantages of an international language in the modern world are obvious. Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more easily and more quickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Witho

34、ut a common language, there may be misunderstandings between people of different countries. There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the main living languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple because no living language wil

35、l be acceptable to everyone and because an artificial(人造的)language, such as Esperanto, has no culture and would be thought boring by many learners.It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chines

36、e in its number or native speakers, but there are certain worries of choosing English as an international language.First of all, for political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence. English words enter their language and thi

37、s often threats their own language. In France, a new word “franglais” has been invented to describe the results.
