Looking at a pile of old photos,I couldn’t help feeling rather regretful.
I’ve never got into the habit of sorting out photos.However,it’s almost a habit of mine to have photos taken thoughtlessly.Thus,photos have been piling
up in my childhood to womanhood.In spite of that,those black-and-white pictures taken in my early years are rarely kept,except a few survivals regarded as antiques.A bald（秃头的）baby picture of me that I treasured,the only one left,is now missing.
Familiar faces flash one by one before my eyes.Though the world is so small and we all live in it,yet w
e are separated by physical and psychological distances,some smaller,some larger.With the passage of time,one cannot, regretfully,relive（重温）it with the same feeling as one had in the picture.What one can get from the old photos is but a bit of the past joy.
One takes pictures with different persons in different time and places. They fill one with nostalgia（怀旧）in various degrees--some more,some less, and others none.That’s why one has conflicting feelings towards the old photos. Still kept with the current ones,they are even less favored than a daily-used cup, which is always close to the owner.
How these pieces of thought influence me!Photos keep our images rather than our sentiment,which may not ren1ain.The image is always there,but not its owner,whom the photo cannot keep,neither can it keep the event.
Of course,there are some of the photos still holding my affection,such as those taken with my family members,with favorite playmates,fellow girl-students and best friends,not only in pictures but also in my life and heart.
Now,since I have learned all this,I will not allow myself to be included casually in a photo taken with others.I’ll make sure that the friendship can last before I take a photo with somebody.
24.Why did the writer have only a few black-and-white pictures?
A.She took fewer of them.
B.She took photos thoughtlessly.
C.She didn’t take good care of them.
D.She only liked the bald baby picture.
25.What can we get from the old photos according to the writer?
A.All the past events.
B.Some past happiness.
C.All the past excitement.
D.The everlasting memory.
26.What does the underlined word“sentiment”m paragraph5probably mean?
A.Look.
B.Thought.
C.Feeling.
D.Influence.
27.What is the writer likely to do when asked to take a photo with others?
A.To take the photo happily.
B.To refuse the request politely.
C.To ignore the request casually.
D.To think carefully before.action.
C
As an Asian country,Singapore has a reputation for being highly westernized,with English a1nong the c
ountry’s four official languages,but a couple of signs found on local buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise.
Quite different from the English we know,the signs read,for example，“Here cannot go in instead of“No Entry”,and“Here can charge phone"instead of“Charge phone here”.This language that resembles English is called Singaporean English,or“Singlish”．
The New York Times calls Singlish“patchwork”because Singapore consists of migrants（移民）from several countries including China,India and Malaysia,and they all speak their own versions of“English”．
“Everyone who speaks it shapes it”wrote the newspaper.
For example,in Singlish you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabulary such as“Mee Siam"and“da bao”.Sentence structures like“toilet where”instead of“where’s the toilet”also comefrom Chinese.
Interesting and diverse as it may seem,the trend for Singlish js worrying Singapore’s government.It is concerned that the dialect is lowering the country’s English standard and may affect its relationship with visitors.It even started the Speak Good English Movement.
Unfortunately,the problem was not solved.Instead,Singlish has boomed,
especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being cool and a way of identifying themselves as Singaporean.
But this doesn’t mean that Standard English is being abandoned by young people.In fact,they are much more capable than the government gives credit-they can speak both.
“We are a nation good at code-switching-we know that the way we speak to friends or drivers must be different from how we act at work or school”wrote Cheryl,a Singaporean author,in Times magazine.“To actively urge us to give up a language that speaks to the very heart of who we are,that so beautifully represents the melting pot of Chinese,Indians,Malaysians and Eurasians that we are,is shortsighted,surely.”
28.Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?
A.It is made up of migrants.
B.It is highly westernized.
C.It is influenced by Chinese.
D.It is affected by official languages.
29.What is the purpose of starting the Speak Good English Movement?
A.To stop the new trend.
B.To better the relationship.
C.To keep the English standard.
D.To give the government credit.
30.What do the young people think of Singlish?
A.It’s interesting.
B.It’s their identity.
C.It’s a sign of status.
D.It’s a way of code-switching.
31.What can we learn from what Cheryl said?
A.Different people speak different styles of Singlish.
B.Singlish is a more beautiful language than others.
C.People speak Singlish only to friends and drivers.
D.People can use Singlish to express themselves well.
