China’s new popular word, ―tuhao‖, may be taken in next year’s Oxford English dictionary. The word caught the attention of the dictionary’s editing team after BBC’s recent program on influential Chinese words.

―If its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,‖ said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team. Kleeman told the Beijing Youth Daily that ―tuhao‖ has some similarities with the English word ―bling‖, which refers to expensive, ostentatious (阔绰的) clothing or jewelry. Both the two words have existed for long but later on took a new meaning.

In Chinese, ―tu‖ means rude and ―hao‖ means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China’s rural areas. In recent years, people in the ACG (anime, comic and game) circle borrowed the term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable manner.

The word gained acceptance in September with the launch (投放) of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone, an item loved by China’s nouveau riche (暴发户). The color became known as ―tuhao gold‖. The word is now often used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it.

Kleeman also mentioned another Chinese word ―dama‖ which may also be taken in the dictionary.

―Dama‖, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal in May when thousands of Chinese women were buying up record number of gold. They were the driving force in the global gold market between April and June when the gold prices had dropped. ―People can have an intuitive (直觉的)grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin‖, Kleeman said adding that people avoided using an English word to keep the original meaning. The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every three months. 1. Why is the word ―tuhao‖ likely to be taken in Oxford English Dictionary?

A. Because it represents noble and rich

B. Because it has the same meaning with an English word. C. Because its influence becomes bigger and bigger

D. Because it is popular in online game circle. 2. What’s the similarity between ―tuhao‖ and ―dama‖?

A. Both take new meanings. B. Both were created in British.

C. Both will be uploaded in the next dictionary version. D. They have the same meaning. 3. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A, The popularity of the two words ―tuhao‖ and ―dama‖.

B. The possibility to be taken in Oxford English Dictionary for ―tuhao‖ and ―dama‖.

C. The new meanings of the two words ―tuhao‖ and ―dama‖.

D. The influence of Chinese in modern world.

In the UK, it's common to fly the nest at a fairly young age. When Luke Sibson went to

university he thought he would be starting a new journey in life and getting his own place. But lack of jobs and the high cost of living made Luke change his plans. He was forced back to his mum's house at the age of 27. "There's something very difficult about being an adult living in an environment where you're still a child," he says. "It limits me socially; sometimes I feel it limits me professionally."

And he's not alone: a quarter of young adults in the UK now live with their parents. The

Office for National Statistics (ONS) said more than 3.3 million adults between the ages of 20 and 34 are currently living at home with their parents.

Indeed, many young people have no choice but to stay at 'the hotel of Mum and Dad'. sharing the family's three-bedroom house with her two brothers and one sister. She says they end up getting on each other's nerves when it's time to use the bathroom in the morning. Anna Katz lives with her parents in London. ―I am 29 and live at home. I am doing a PhD and moved back when the funding（资金） ran out. I get on well with my parents. They leave me to it and treat me like an adult. "Anna says that she will move out eventually but in the meantime finds living at home a positive experience. So for some it's a win-win situation – spending time with your families, and saving money. 1 How does Luke feel about living in his parents’ home?

A. Happy. B. Tired. C. Content. D. Disappionted.

2. What is making young people in the UK go back to their parents' homes?

A. Laziness. B. Loneliness. C. Pressure from parents. D. Lack of jobs and high rents. 3.What does the underlined word ―cramped ‖ in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Warm and sweet. B. Small and crowded.

C. Random but friendly. D. Noisy but comfortable. 4. What can we infer from Anna’s example ? A. It’s good to live with parents. B. It’s expensive to live in London.

C. Living with parents is becoming popular.

D. Young people are not encouraged to leave the nest.

3、 Many young people are writing and reading blogs. Lot of popular Web sites have free,

easy ways to create personal Web pages and fill them with writing and pictures. ”Face book” and “My space” are very popular blog sites for young people to write about daily lives.

Blogs give young people a place to show their writing and felling. But they can be dangerous when they are read on the Internet by people all over the world.

Young people often show their personal information on the Internet. That puts them at risk of being found out by bad people .Many students don’t know about privacy and are surprised to learn that other people can read their secret easily.They can also be in trouble when putting others information on their blogs.

The earth is our home. We must take care of it. Pollution is a „dirty‟ word. To pollute means to make things dirty. Today, we can see it, smell it and drink it. Pollution is not only harmful to our health but also to our life.

Talking about pollution, we once only meant air pollution. It is true that air pollution is still the most serious now, but it is only one kind of pollution. Now, both water pollution and noise pollution have become two new kinds of pollution.

Where is all this to end? Is there any hope that we can get rid of pollution? We are glad to say that the government has made laws to fight it and more and more people know the danger of pollution and they are working hard to get rid of it.

1. To pollute means to make things useful.

You really have to get very old before your realize you‟re old. I‟m over fifty and I don‟t feel old yet. However, sometimes I look back at my childhood. Some things have certainly changed greatly.

One big change is television. When I started school, most people didn‟t have a television. TV was just beginning to get popular. My father decided to try his best to buy a 16 inch black and white TV set. I still remember watching the wonderful and exciting program for the first time in my life.

Now, televisions have larger pictures in full colour. The pictures are clearer and the sound is much more realistic（真实）. The quantity of programming has been improved greatly. There are

hundreds of channels and more shows than one person could ever watch. There are many fine entertainment and educational shows. There‟s also a lot of rubbish, something that most parents don‟t want their children to watch. However, we have more choices, and that is good.

I wonder what television will be like when today‟s children are my age.

This month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes.

Mariko Okada – Tokyo

My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.

Carla Fonseca – Rio de Janeiro

I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!

Alvin Chen – Hong Kong

Studying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my homestay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went!
