　　Increased use of the Internet and mobile phones is undermining pupils’ ability for independent study and promoting poor grammar, it was claimed.

　　Cranfield School of Managementfound almost six in ten schoolchildrenwere copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it.

　　More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, even though they know it was considered plagiarism(剽窃).

　　The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people.

　　Andrew Kakabadse, professor of international management development at Cranfield, said, “Our research shows that technology obsession(痴迷)prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning. ”

　　“Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day. ”

　　The report revealed that so-called“text-speak”was increasingly finding it was into pupils’ school work.

　　Three in ten students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as“r u ok”in essays and classroom tasks.

　　It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of the teachers failed to understand some pupils’ writing because it was so full of confusing language.

　　Phrases such as“innit”and“Gr8”were regularly found in school work.

　　The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.

　　More than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.

　　China’s new buzzword, tuhao, may be in next year’s Oxford English Dictionary.

　　“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.

　　In Chinese, tu means uncouth 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 borrowed the term to describe those who spend money in an irrational(没道理的)manner. The word gained credence in September with the launch of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone, an item loved by China’s rich people. 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 two other Chinese words—dama and hukou—which may also be taken in the dictionary. Hukou means household registration in Chinese and has been widely used.

　　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 slumped(下跌).

　　“We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary, ”she said. Some of them are: Guanxi, literally meaning“connection”, is the system of social networks and influential relationships which facilitate business and other dealings. Taikonaut is a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut.

　　The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every three months. “It at least broke our old rules. It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the era, ”according to John Simpson.

　　【文章大意】在近期一档关于中国热词的栏目播出后, “tuhao”一词引起了《牛津英语词典》编著者的关注。这个中国时髦热词“tuhao(土豪)”明年有望被收入《牛津英语词典》。

　　B. The people who have power in the countryside.

　　C. The people who spend money reasonably.

　　D. The rich who find no class to belong to.

　　【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段的The word isnow often used by the online community to refer to peoplewho have the cash but lack the class to go with it. 可知, tuhao指的是那些有钱但是没有阶层归属的人们。

　　6. Why is the word“Dama”popular now?

　　A. They bought gold in the global market.

　　B. They are wealthy middle-aged women.

　　C. They brought the gold prices down.

　　D. They worked on the Wall Street.

　　【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第五段的when thousands of Chinese women were buying up record number of gold. They were the driving force in the global gold market可知, 大妈一词来自于购买国际市场上黄金的人们。

　　7. Which word has already been in the Oxford English Dictionary?

　　D. Hukou.

　　【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary和Taikonaut is a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut可知选B。

　　Why Exercise Is Cool?

　　Exercise Strengthens Muscles

　　Did you ever do a push-up or swing across the monkey bars at the playground? 　1　By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make them stronger. For older teens and adults, this kind of workout can make muscles bigger, too.

　　　2　

　　Can you touch your toes easily without yelling ouch? Most kids are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stretch their bodies without much trouble. Being flexible is having“full range of motion”, which means you can move your arms and legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.

　　Exercise Keeps the Balance

　　　3　Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function, breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff. 　4　If you’re not very active, your body won’t need as many calories.

　　Whatever your calorie need is, if you eat enough to meet that need, your body weight will stay about the same. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as extra fat.

　　Exercise Makes You Feel Good

　　It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy—like running, jumping, and playing with your friends. It’s also fun to be good at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a home run, or perfecting a dive.

　　But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood. 　5　It’s just another reason why exercise is cool!

　　A. So you want to do some aerobic(需氧的)exercise right now?

　　B. Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy.

　　C. When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical, which may make you feel happier.

　　D. Those are exercises that can build strength.

　　E. Exercise Makes You Flexible

　　F. Exercise Makes Your Heart Happy

　　G. But if you’re active, your body needs an extra measure of calories or energy.
