30、estions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AThe English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation,

31、 or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as

32、 unchanging and unchangeable. While this approach might be beneficial for teaching children, it is far from accurate.The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling

33、 have changed radically over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the

34、 pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider th

35、e word err. The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word her. Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation. However in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like air. Another change in the language involves the additi

36、on and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why s

37、pelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions. Of course many slang words have been just short-lived fads that have died out quickly. Others,though, have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you

38、 repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language. 56. When we begin to learn English, we think .A. it is interesting to take up a new languageB. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeableC. only grown-ups have

39、the ability to affect a languageD. English rules are wrongly presented in fact57. From paragraph 3 we can know that .A. English never changed 1,000 years agoB. many countries have to accept English C. English brings changes to AmericaD. every language is changing over years58. The pronunciation of w

40、ords are changing because .A. people speak in different ways B. the British dont agree with othersC. people adopted foreign words D. makers of dictionaries created them59. Which of the following statement about English slangs is True?A. All the slangs have become standard English.B. English slangs a

41、re only a flash in the pan(昙花一现).C. Some slangs have been accepted.D. English slangs have different meanings actually.60. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. You can change the English language.B. English is changing over years.C. The British speaks differently from Americans

42、.D. Foreign words involved in English.BWeve all experienced a good cry. Shedding (流) some tears can often make us feel better and help us see things right. But why is crying beneficial? And is there such a thing as a bad cry?The researchers analyzed the detailed accounts of more than 3,000 recent cr

43、ying experiences and found that the benefits of crying depend entirely on the what, where and when of a particular crying episode (一段经历). The majority of persons reported improvements in their mood following a short period of crying. However, one third reported no improvement in mood and a tenth fel

44、t worse after crying. Criers who received social support during their crying episode were the most likely to report improvements in mood.Research to date has not always produced a clear picture of the benefits of crying, in part because the results often seem to depend on how crying is studied. The

45、researchers note several challenges in accurately studying crying behavior in a laboratory setting. Volunteers who cry in a laboratory setting often do not describe their experiences as making them feel better. Rather, crying in a laboratory setting often results in the study participants feeling wo

46、rse; this may be due to the stressful conditions of the study itself, such as being videotaped or watched by researchers. This may produce negative emotions, which neutralize (使无效) the positive benefits usually connected with crying. However, these laboratory studies have provided interesting findings about the physical effects of crying. Criers d
