Expressing yourself
“Don’t fight with a French-learner!!!!!” “Over 40 degrees in summer, right?!!!! No heater in winter, right?!!!!”
Recently, you may have seen a lot of expressions like the above online. It is the latest popular style called “roaring genre”. It has short sentences, a complaining tone and a lot of exclamation marks.
Internet users say the style is just a way of letting out emotions, and in fact, it shows an active attitude towards life. But, at first, many of us think people who speak this way are quite angry. Sometimes we may feel afraid of the tone and the exclamation marks.
Why? Because on the Internet, we can’t see the face of a person when he or she posts a message. We can only guess if that person is happy or angry. And we could be wrong.
There are rules of behavior to follow when you’re online. It is important to remember that you are dealing with “real” people. So you should use the best manners —just like you would at home or in school.
For example, when you chat in English with someone online, you shouldn’t type in all capital letters, because this means you are shouting. It can easily upset people, even if you don’t do it on purpose. You can use asterisks, like *this* or lines, like _this_, to emphasize a word. Or, you can use emoticons to tell the person what you’re feeling.
Also, it is not polite to use short forms unless you are talking to your good friends. For example, use “see you later”, instead of “CU L8er”.
【1】The expressions in the first paragraph are called ________.
A.complaining genre
B.roaring genre
C.ironic genre
D.critical genre
【2】What’s the characteristic of the “roaring genre”?
A.It has long sentences.
B.It has a complaining tone.
C.It has no marks.
D.It has many words.
【3】Internet users think “roaring genre” shows________ towards life.
A.an active attitude
B.a negative attitude
C.no attitude
D.complaint
【4】We should be________ when we are online.
A.mad
B.active
C.critical
D.polite
【5】When we chat online, typing in all capital letters means________.
A.we are polite
B.we don’t want to chat with others
C.we are shouting
D.we are happy
23、What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls,or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects (建筑师) believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.
The tree house
Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house”.Like a leaf,the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water,produce electricity,and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” (根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil (土壤) to the home’s temperature.
The lizard house
Like a lizard (蜥蜴),changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun,the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days,it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
Meals at home
This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture (建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes,carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning,you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
Learning from the past
Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes,ancient techniques (古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example,a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful airconditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out at the chimney.
【1】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Green Houses of the Future

【3】What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?
A.It will turn white.
B.It will produce energy.

D.It will turn dark.
【4】The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future .
A.will be more delicious
