While I was on a trip to Papua New Guinea to take underwater photographs, I asked a local dive guide to help me find a pygmy sea horse(侏儒海马). I wanted to take a picture of it. These sea horses can be red or yellow-and-orange. The red pygmy sea horse lives on only one type of coral, a red sea fan that grows at depths below ninety feet.

This depth made the job even tougher. As the pressure on my body increased, I had to breathe harder, which used my air supply faster. So the deeper I dived, the shorter my time underwater.

I had a lot to do. First, I had to find the pygmy sea horse’s special type of fan .Then I had to look over the whole fan with my magnifying glass(放大镜) to see if a sea horse lived on it. If not, I had to find another fan—all the while keeping an eye on my oxygen supply. The second fan rewarded me with a find. The dive guide held the magnifying glass so I could have my first look at the tiny fish.

My next challenge was to focus my camera on such a small subject. The dive guide pointed at the tiny creature. I looked through the viewfinder(取景物) on my large underwater camera housing(相架), found the guide’s finger, and followed it to the sea horse.

It was hard to hold ourselves steady because both of us were floating in mid-water, but our system worked. I could hardly contain my excitement as I focused on the eyes of the cutest sea horse imaginable.

1.What do we learn about the red pygmy sea horse?

A.It lives on red sea fans only.                B.It swims very quickly.

C.It lives nine feet deep.                    D.It usually floats in mid-water.

2.From Paragraph 3 we learn        .

A.how the author swam under water          B.how the author found a sea horse

C.why the author dived with a guide           D.why the author used a magnifying glass

3.While the author was taking pictures of the sea horse,        .

A.she felt extremely nervous                B.her camera didn’t work well

C.the guide helped focus the camera          D.the sea horse was swimming away

4.Why did the author write the passage?

A.To study the natural habitat of sea animals.

B.To explain why sea horses are endangered.

C.To tell us how to be an underwater photographer.

D.To show us how she took pictures of a sea horse.

  Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum asking what“PK”meant.

  “My family has been watching the Super Girl singing competition TV program.My little daughter asked me what PK means, but I had no idea,”explained the puzzled father.

  To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know that item.

  In such Internet games,“PK”is short for“Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.

  In the case of the“Super Girl”singing competition,“PK”was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.

  Like this puzzled father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students composition using Internet jargon(行话)difficult to understand.

  A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write up compositions with colloquial(口语的)language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargon that she didn't understand.

  “My GG”came back this summer from college.He told me I've grown up to be a PLMM':I love to FB with him together; he always took me to the KPM, went one composition.”

  “GG”means Ge Ge(Chinese pinyin for brother).“PLMM”refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei(beautiful sister).“FB”means“to corrupt”.“KPM”is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds.

  While some specialists welcome Internet jargon as a new development in language, teachers are worried that too much use of such language might lead students away from the“right”usages.Parents especially worry that their children might not do well in language tests because of the use of Internet language.

  Such as those mixed feelings are, the conciseness and liveliness of Internet language continues to attract Internet users for making convenient communications.

  If you do not even know what a Kong Long(dinosaur, referring to ugly-looking female)or a Qing Wa(frog, referring to ugly-looking male)is, then you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
