Many years ago, there was a family named Franklin. They lived in Boston. There were five girls and six boys in the family. On a January day in 1706 another baby was born. The boy's mother and her husband gave the boy a name—Benjamin.
Benjamin was the cleverest of all the children. He could read when he was five and he could write when he was seven. The next year his parents sent him to school.
In school Benjamin was good at reading and writing, but not good at maths. He read all of his father's books. And when he had money, he always went to buy books. He liked books. They told him how to do something. The boy liked to use his head and tried to find ways to help people enjoy life more. For example, he tried to know if there was some way to swim farther, maybe with something on his hands or feet. Slowly a picture of swimming shoes, or paddles, grew in his mind. The paddles must be neither too big nor too small. And they must be neither too heavy nor light. At last he invented the paddle for swimming.

We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk. People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室). Some of them are: BTW (by the way); BRB (be right back); LOL (laughing out loud); IMO (in my opinion).
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are: info (information); puter (computer); pic (picture); sec (second).
We usually don't see people when we communicate(交流)on the Net, so people have
new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:
:-) (happy) ;-) (joking) :-( (sad) :-O (surprised)
These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example:
(happy) (sad) (angry) (cool)
There are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board
or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "flaming" the
person. It takes time for people to get used to(适应) e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net
have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people
what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
判断正误。正确(T)错误(F)
( ) 1. People type acronyms so that they can type them quickly.
( ) 2. “BTW, my puter is not working well.” means that the person is sad that his compute having problems.
( ) 3. If someone is angry, he may type “LOL” or “BRB”.
( ) 4. E-talk will probably be used by people on the telephone.
( ) 5. The best title for this passage is E-talk
