Some said Hell was a place full of water, and others told her that Hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what Hell was.

When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to Hell and see what Hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn't find out what Hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn't escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.

26、It was Saturday again. Lily and Lucy disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same way. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.

Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Lily had to attend the art lesson and Lucy had to attend her ballet lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today.” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Lily and Lucy at the same time. “Do you have the same idea as me?” they asked each other and laughed. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them.

27、English is becoming more and more popular in China. It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native (地道的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters.

Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.

“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”. “I see much poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” she says, “I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Guizhou Province’, I know he or she should say ‘My hometown is in Guizhou Province’. Hometown is a smaller place in a province.” The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”,“Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “Room Rate” not “Room Price”. And remember to “Keep off the Grass”, rather than “Care of the Green”.

The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.

【1】Who seldom uses letters of “WC” according to the passage?

A．Chinese students.

B．Foreigners from other countries.

C．Teachers in China.

D．English-speaking foreigners.

【2】What’s the attitude (态度) of the government towards the bad English on signs?

A．It’s native.

B．It should be changed.

C．It doesn’t matter.

D．It can be used on signs.

【3】Which of the following signs is RIGHT?

A．Not Entry.

B．Room Price.

C．To the Airport.

D．Care of the Green.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Chinglish on menus.

B．Money spent on Chinglish.

C．Usages of native English.

D．Letters of “WC”.
