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. 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(缩写). They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
Info(information) puter (computer)
Pie(picture)sec (second)
We usually don’t see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keywords to draw “feeling”, such as:
:-)(happy) :-p(joking) :-( (sad) :-0 (surprised)
These days, many forums(论坛) have picture feelings. For example,
(sad)(happy)
There are even whole new words, like“newbie’s”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum).
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbie’s have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.What does the underlined word “acronyms” mean?
| A．网友 | B．聊天室 | C．首字母缩写词 | D．关键词 |
Why do people type acronyms?
| A．To show their feelings. |
| B．Because people can type them quickly. |
| C．In this way newbie’s won’t understand them. |
| D．To make people use Internet |
What does “BTW, my puter is not working well. :- ( ” mean ?
| A．The person is angry at somebody. |
| B．The person is happy about getting a new computer |

Today more and more people are using refrigerators. Some are big, others are small. Big ones have two or three doors. Such refrigerators can not only keep the food cold and fresh, but also make ice and freeze the food. However, small ones usually have one door and can only keep things cold and fresh.
There are also refrigerators that are friendly to the environment. In the 1970s, the world was in energy crisis(危机). Refrigerators use too much energy. So people began to think of ways to improve it . At last a kind of new refrigerator was made. They use very little energy, but they’re too expensive. They cost twice or three times more than the ones that we use at home. However, people believe they will be cheaper and cheaper. As a result, they will be more and more popular.
In the future, there will be refrigerators that can do more than we can imagine. They are called smart refrigerators(智能冰箱) . They have tiny computers inside, with their screens on the door. They can show us what food is inside. They can also tell us what food to buy.They can even let us know what food to eat when we input the necessary health information. The more surprising thing is that they can do shopping for us when they are connected(连接) to the supermarket.Small refrigerators can not only keep the food cold but also freeze the food.

Friendly refrigerators will be popular some day.
Refrigerators that keep the food fresh are smart refrigerators.
We can have a “talk ” with smart refrigerators.

Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草).
The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly(苍蝇) touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.
Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all these important things, especially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea!
