32、4, we used 2 go 2 NY2C my bro, his GF&thr 3 ：- kids FTF. ILNY, its gr8.Can you understand this sentence? If you cant, dont 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 of

33、 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 N

34、ew York; its great.Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破壞) 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. They believe N

35、etspeak 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 wr

36、iting,” 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 b

37、ottom dollar that when todays teenagers become tomorrows parents, they too will thing 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

38、Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and its 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.

43、vantages and DisadvantagesEIn the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the ai

44、rplane and carried the passengers luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didnt want to work on a farm or marry a farmer she wanted a mo

45、re adventurous(冒險(xiǎn)的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilots license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air

46、Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a mans world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still

47、an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延誤),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.At first

48、pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she h

49、ad to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned 1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are w

50、ell paid and work fewer hours than in the past.56. ( )The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _.A. the word “stewardess” was made up by Ellen ChurchB. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a planeD. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane57.
