     Mouse potatoes joined couch potatoes (who spend much time watching TV on the couch), google
officially became a verb and drama queens (extremely emotional persons) finally found the attention when
they crossed over from popular culture to mainstream English language.
    The mouse potato, the himbo (attractive, empty-headed man) and drama queen were among 100 new words added to the 2006 update of America's best-selling dictionary, the Merriam-Webster Collegiate
Dictionary《韋氏大詞典》. The Internet search engine Google also found its way into the dictionary for
the first time as a verb, meaning to find information quickly on the worldwide web.
    New words and phrases from the fields of science, technology, pop culture and industry are chosen
each year by Merriam-Webster's team of editors after months of looking through books, magazines and
even food labels. "They are not tracking spoken language. They are looking for evidence that words have been used in the written English language," said Arthur Bicknell, senior editor of Merriam-Webster.
    Other words first coming into the dictionary this year were soul patch (a small growth of beard under
a man's lower lip), unibrow (two eyebrows joining together) and supersize － the fast food industry
phrase for extra large meals.
    The technology world contributed ringtones (changeable incoming cellphone call signals) and spyware
(software installed in a computer to track a user's activities) while biodiesel (生物柴油) and avian
influenza(禽流感) came from the world of science.
America's first dictionary-Noah Webster's A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language －was
published 200 years ago and also introduced some fresh words that have now become familiar. Those
"new" words in 1806 included slang, surf, psychology, naturally and Americanize.

1. The mouse potato refers to ____________.

A. a mouse that lives by potatoes
B. a person who spends much time on the computer
C. a mouse that is shown on the screen of the computer
D. a person who likes to eat mice and potatoes

2. Which group of words and phrases is NOT the fresh words for the dictionary of this year?

A. mouse potatoes, google, drama queen.
B. himbo, soul patch, unibrow, supersize.
C. ringtones, spyware, biodiesel, avian influenza.
D. couch potatoes, surf, psychology, Americanize.

3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?

A. New words and phrases were introduced into the dictionary have close relationship with the time.
B. New words and phrases chosen by the editors of the dictionary have been used in
     written English somewhere.
C. Some words that are now familiar to us used to be fresh words collected in the dictionary.
D. The Merriam-webster Collegiate Dictionary becomes the best-seller because 100 new words
     are added to it.

　　Modcm inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly．Motor-cars cover a bundred miles in little more than an hour．Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed．Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending．Every ycar motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹噓)of saving preeious seconds in handling tasks．

　　All this saves timc, but at a prick．When we lose or gain half a day in speeding aeross the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so．We get the uncomfoerable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel tlru they have been left bebind in anot ar nine zoors Again pending too long at compulers resul's in painti ninrts and fingers．Mobile phones also to dange according to some seientists; too much uss may thesmit h bul radiation into our brains, a we do not like to think about．

　　Howave, what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not or so it seems．We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time．Pcrhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imavination take us into another world．

　　There was a time when some people's lives were devotcd simply to the cultivation of the land or the eare of eattle．No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern．There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this．Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;：they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone．Modem machinery has freed peope fre that primitive existcnee．

認真閱讀下列短文,根據所讀內容在文章后表格中填入恰當的單詞。注意:表格中每個空格只填1個詞。

     The history of Chinese calligraphy is probably as long as that of China itself.Calligraphy is a special
category in China’s world of fine arts.Through the centuries Chinese characters have changed constantly
and are mainly divided into five categories today:the seal script(zhuan shu),official script(li shu),regular
script(kai shu),running script(xing shu)and cursive script(cao shu).
     Calligraphy involves a great deal of theory and requires many skills.Among the most outstanding
calligraphers in ancient China were Wang Xizhi,Ouyang Xun,Yan Zhenqing,and Liu Gongquan,who are
known for pioneering their own styles.
     In writing calligraphy,one will need a brush,paper,an ink stick and an ink stone,commonly referred to
as the “Four Treasures of the Study”.There are different types of brushes.White goat hair,black rabbit hair and yellow weasel hair brushes are the main ones.According to their function,brushes are classified into
three groups:hard,soft and medium.Brush sticks are usually made of bamboo,wood,or porcelain;ivory or
jade sticks are rare and precious.
     The ink stick is a unique pigment used for Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy.The most famous
ink stick is hui mo(Anhui ink stick),made from pines that grow on Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province.Clean water is needed to grind the ink stick.Press the ink stick hard and rub it lightly,slowly and evenly
against the ink slab to make thick,liquid ink.
     While paper comes in many varieties,Xuan paper, produced in Xuanzhou(today’s Anhui Province),is
considered the best for Chinese calligraphy.The paper is soft and fine textured,suitable for conveying the
artistic expression of both Chinese calligraphy and painting.With a good tensile strength and moth proof
quality,the paper can be preserved for a long time.
     Ink stones or ink slabs have been classified into three categories:Duan,She and Tao.Features common
to all three are hardness and fineness.Although the stone is hard and fine,it is not dry or slippery.Using a
hard and smooth stone,liquid ink can be produced easily by rubbing the ink stick against the stone.
     By handling the brush and ink skillfully and carefully,the artist can produce an infinite variety of
calligraphic styles and forms.
