Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet 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 KFC, 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) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
小题1:By writing the article, the writer tries to ________ .

小题2:What does the writer think about the term "PK"?

As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of him based on his posture, gestures and facial expressions. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one.
First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as your appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open.
Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle (角度) expresses discomfort and distrust. Tow of the most common defensive (防卫的) signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.
Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eye contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude.
小题1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers .

A．what a good first impression is

B．how to make a good first impression

C．how long it takes to make a first impression

D．the importance of making a good first impression

小题2:Which of the following does the author advise you to do when you are being interviewed?

A．Cross your arms or legs.

B．Open your coat or jacket when sitting down.

C．Go into the room more slowly than usual.

D．Avoid looking at the eyes of the interviewer directly.

小题3:If you lean forward too much, it means .

A．you are very bored	B．you are too nervous
C．you don’t have confidence	D．you don’t trust others

小题4:What is the best title for the text?

A．How to use body language to win an interview

B．How to answer questions in an interview

C．How to understand body language

D．How to deal with an interviewer

You need to be of a certain age to understand why so many people in Hollywood are caring about the possible closing down of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (米高梅电影公司)．For the past 40 years, its output has been good, but now it is on the ropes, with debts of $ 3.7 billion and will have to sell off its most valuable assets.
In its golden time, MGM stood for something．If Warner Brothers meant social dramas and gangster movies, and Disney meant cartoon films, then MGM was healthy fantasy．This business model found its most glorious expression in its musicals of the post-war era．It also featured such many famous stars as Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Judy Garland.
But MGM had always put its hopes on the quality of stars it could attract．From the time MGM became a company in 1924, the studio and his associate proved themselves good at creating big names.
For 35 years, this worked well enough, but the growing power of television disturbed Hollywood．MGM continued to throw money into making gorgeous-looking musicals, but despite some big successes audiences gradually started to drift away．Throughout the sixties, MGM"s decline set in．Things went from bad to worse．In 1973, MGM stopped distributing its own films．Since then, the Lion"s roar has been reduced to a whimper (呜咽).
How far MGM has fallen can be shown by its recent releases．This was a studio that for years offered a reliable supply of first-class films．Yet last year its total output was three．To make it worse, all were co-produced with other studios．And this year? Only one so far, and maybe the last.
What now? MGM will probably be sold, though recent buyers have been cautious about a price thought to be around $ 2 billion.
小题1:MGM is becoming the focus in Hollywood because it _______．

A．has more supporters	B．has produced good films
C．might be closed down	D．has lost all its assets

小题2:What can we learn about MGM from the text?

A．It has been sold out for around $ 2 billion.

B．The Internet was a factor causing its decline.

C．It only produced three films by itself last year.

D．It made a wrong decision for its development.

小题3:What"s the main idea of the text?

A．The past glories of MGM．	B．The musicals made by MGM.
C．The decline of MGM．	D．A historical decision by MGM
