Trouve sat up on its back legs and growled(吼叫) the words, “How are you, Grandmamma?” The audience roared with laughter and clapped. Twenty-year-old Aleck gave the dog a morsel(一口) of food. His hard work had paid off. His dog could talk!

Aleck was fascinated with the different sounds of people’s speech. His father taught students who had a speech problem to improve their speech. Aleck paid close attention. Could an animal form sounds into words, too? He decided to experiment with Trouve, the family dog.

The easy part was teaching Trouve to growl whenever Aleck wanted. The little dog growled for a morsel of food.

Next Aleck moved the dog’s “lips” as it growled. It sounded like “ma mama”. Trouve learned quickly to stop the growling just as Aleck’s hand moved away. They practiced and practiced until the dog said “mama” perfectly.

Soon Aleck discovered more. If he pushed gently under the dog’s jawbone(下颌骨), it made the “ga” sound. If he pushed once and moved the dog’s lips twice, he could make the dog say, “ga mama.” With even more practice, it sounded like “grandmamma”. Whenever Trouve said “grandmamma”, Aleck gave the dog two treats, so Trouve loved the lessons.

Aleck tried to teach his dog to move its tongue so that Trouve could say more words. That didn’t work, but Aleck didn’t give up.

After many hours of practice, Trouve could say, “Ow ah oo ga-ma-ma?” This sounded just like “How are you, Grandmamma?”

Friends and neighbors traveled to see young Aleck and his amazing talking dog. Rumors spread that the dog could speak by itself, which wasn’t true. No matter how much Aleck tried, the dog was never able to move its lips without help.

Aleck’s full name was Alexander Graham Bell. He wanted to know more about the world all his life. He had many ideas. Some worked; others didn’t. But he kept trying—always learning. One of his inventions was something called the telephone.

Which of the following is TRUE of Aleck?

A. His father had an influence on him.

B. He had a talent for giving speeches.

C. He taught Trouve to talk in honor of his grandmother.

D. He carried out many experiments to improve people’s speech.

A. it liked being together with Aleck

B. it was given some food for that

C. it would like to develop its potential（潜能）

D. Aleck treated it like one of the family

Which of the following words can best describe Aleck?

  A. Humorous.                     B. Naughty.      

C. Knowledgeable.                 D. Curious.

What contributes most to Aleck’s success in teaching the dog to talk?

  A. His own hard work.              B. His neighbor’s help.

C. His father’s encouragement.        D. The dog’s smartness.

According to the passage, how many statements are true?

  b. The dog could understand Aleck’s sign.

  c. The dog could move its tongue successfully by itself.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Interact forum(论坛)asking what“PK”meant．
“My family has been watching the‘Super Girl’singing competition TV programme．My little daughter asked me what’PK’meant，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 this term．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 father，Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students’compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand．A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language，but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons  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 loved 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 girl)．“FB”means Fu Bai(corruption)．“KPM”is short for KF．Pizza Hut and McDonald’s．
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language．
If you do not even know what a Kong Long(dinosaur，referring to an ugly looking female)ora Qing wa(frog，referring to an ugly looking male)is，you will possibly be regarded as a CaiNiao!
