第十四天 一、美文晨讀 Empty Nest Syndrome While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”. In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves. The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”. 二、詞匯訓(xùn)練 1. My elder sisters and brothers have moved away from home and are _____（自立的）now. 2.

First, a best student must study hard. This is the primary task of a student. Remember, if you don’t do anything, you will be nothing. Ask questions in class if you do not understand something. In addition, try to enjoy all the 2you learn at school and work hard on them. It seems that hard-working students can have success more 3. Second, good study habits are very useful. For example, when you prepare for a test, make 4that you have all of the proper materials including books, pencils, paper, calculators, etc. Underline the words that you do not understand. And try marking some of the themes mentioned in the book. Then, come up 5study questions and try to answer them. You’d better stop to take a 6 every hour to refresh your memory. Don’t forget to try asking your parents 7 help. They have personal learning experiences and can help you with your studies in many ways. Usually, the students who ask their parents for help can do 8in class than those don’t. Lastly, remember to never give up. You are already on your way in becoming the best student!

We all have a choice：we can either bury our heads in the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive and well, or we can embrace（擁抱）the new English, enter into the spirit of the Internet age and call it “weblish”. “You can’t avoid it, for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language comes along, it inevitably impacts on the language as a whole,” says Dr. David Crystal, honorary professor of linguistics（語言學(xué)）at the University of Wales in Bangor, whose book Language and the Internet has just been published. The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not that there are so many new words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did. In the past, if someone said they did not have Windows, you would have to suppose they lived in a cave. These days, it is probably because they use a Mac（which is a computer, not a raincoat）. Spam is as disliked as it ever was, but whereas it once meant an unappetizing（引不起食欲的）canned meat, it now stands for unwanted “junk” email. Spellings are changing, too. Not only is text-messaging playing“hvc wth vrbs”havoc（混亂）with verbs］, but the conventions of email communication place little emphasis on “perfect spelling”. Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs（“Please bookmark this site”）, and verbs become nouns（“Send me the download”）. Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives（dial up, logon, print out, pull-down, upload）, while others are created from simply pairing nouns：cyberspace, ethernet, Internet, hyperlink, metatag, netspeak. 1. The best title of this passage would be “_______”. A. Keep Up with the Latest Weblish B. Keep Up with the Latest Development in English C. Newly-invented English Words D. Technology and English 2. We can infer from the first paragraph that________. A. some people wish Shakespeare were still alive B. people may have different attitudes towards weblish C. all people welcome weblish D. weblish causes fear among people 3. The third paragraph is mainly about ________. A. different meanings of English words B. the rapid changes of English words C. the difficulty in understanding words related to computer and the Internet D. common words used on the Internet 4. The author thinks the main difficulty people in keeping up with weblish is that______. A. old words take on new meanings B. there are so many new words C. the technology is changing too fast D. weblish words are full of spelling mistakes 5. David Crystal would probably agree that _______. A. people should not accept weblish B. weblish can cause misunderstandings among people C. weblish will destroy the English language D. people should know something about weblish B Florian Albert, the only Hungarian to win the European Footballer of the Year award, died on Monday aged 70, the Hungarian Football Association said in a statement. The former Ferencvaros forward, who turned 70 last month, won Europe’s top individual award in 1967 and made 75 appearances for his country, scoring 31 goals. He died following complications（并發(fā)癥）after heart surgery last week, the Football Association reported. Born in the village of Hercegszanto in southern Hungary in September 1941, he became known as “The Emperor” in his homeland, and stayed a oneclub player for his whole career. He made his debut（首次上場）for Ferencvaros as a 17yearold in 1958 and in all he made 537 appearances, scoring 383 goals before retiring in 1974. Despite the brilliance of Hungary’s Magical Magyars team of the early 1950s, the European award, which began in 1956, passed them by and Albert remains the only Hungarian to win the honor. “You know what is so special about the Golden Ball—the defenders never took it away from me.” he told Nemzeti Sport, Hungary’s sports daily newspaper on his 70th birthday last month. Florian Albert, the former Hungary striker and European Footballer of the Year, died in hospital at the age of 70, the Hungarian news agency MTI said Monday. As well as winning four Hungarian League titles with Ferencvaros, he was also part of the Ferencvaros team which won the 1965 InterCities Fairs Cup, precursor（先驅(qū)）of the UEFA Cup, beating Juventus in the final in Turin. A tall and elegant player, with excellent close control, Albert was joint top scorer with four goals in the 1962 World Cup finals along with five other players including Garrincha and Vava of Brazil. He was also named Young Player of the Tournament. Albert’s son, Florian Albert Jr., also played for Ferencvaros and Hungary and the club’s stadium is named after him. There have also been concerns recently regarding another Hungarian great, Gyula Grosics, the goalkeeper of the Mighty Magyars of the 1950s. He is recovering in hospital following a fall, but was not in any immediate danger, a hospital spokesman said at the weekend. 6. What did Florian Albert die of? A. A heart disease. B.

He was one player of the Ferencvaros team getting the 1965 InterCities Fairs Cup. D. He was a pioneer of the UEFA Cup. 10. Who does “him” refer to in the seventh paragraph? A. Florian Albert. B.
