    While I was in my 4th month of pregnancy (妊娠期) with my second child, we were preparing for a trip to Louisiana, where Marshall’s family live, to celebrate Jane’s 2nd birthday. Two days before we were to leave, we got the shocking news that I was going to lose the baby. Not knowing when this would happen, we decided to continue with our trip.
    Since Marshall’s family lives on a 600-acre cattle farm, you often find that you have a lot of time to yourself to think when you are there. That is precisely what I did not want to do at this time. I told Marshall that I needed to get a good book to get lost in while I was there. I told him I heard the Harry Potter books were good, so he went out and got the first one for me.
    During that trip, I totally got lost in the book, which was of great help during a time when I needed a distraction to forget about the sadness. In the book, I noticed the name “Seamus”. I vaguely remembered it was pronounced “Shamus” and I liked the sound of that. I mentioned it to Marshall and he liked it too. Toward the end of the trip, I had just 5 chapters left and I knew I was about to finish the first book, which I was pretty excited about.
    Soon after we put Jane down to bed, I had started labor (分娩), so I was unable to read. The labor lasted 5 and 1/2 hours, but Marshall stayed there with me, sitting beside me and reading aloud the last 5 chapters of Harry Potter. I can never fully explain how much that helped me through the experience. And ever since then, Marshall and I both have been fans of the Harry Potter books. We remember how they helped us get through that time of our lives.
    We were sad to have lost the baby, but the name Seamus started our journey toward adoption. And we gave this name to our adopted son. Though our Seamus doesn’t have a drop of Irish blood in him, the name fits him perfectly.
    【小题1】Why did the writer want a good book during the trip?

    A．Because the trip to Louisiana would take a long time.
    B．Because she didn’t want to think of losing her baby.
    C．Because she had nothing else to do except reading.
    D．Because a good book could help her enjoy her trip.
    【小题2】 According to the story, we can know that the Harry Potter books _________________.
    A．made the family’s trip more excitingB．include five books all together
    C．have someone called Seamus in themD．can help people deal with their problems
    【小题3】 The writer named her son Seamus because ___________________.
    A．she wanted to keep her trip in memoryB．she loved this name very much
    C．her son doesn’t have Irish bloodD．it is a perfect name for a boy
    【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE about the couple?
    A．They planned their trip after getting the shocking news.
    B．They thought the cattle farm was too large to do anything on.
    C．They felt excited when they almost finished the trip.
    D．They liked reading Harry Porter very much after the trip.
    【小题5】 Which is the best title for the passage?
    A．Funny Stories Of My FamilyB．Seamus And Harry Potter
    C．How We Got To LouisianaD．How My Son Got His Name


    【小题1】B          
    【小题1】C
    【小题1】B
    【小题1】D
    【小题1】Ｄ

    　　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!
