For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue，N.Y.，today is speech day，and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn.The 8-year-old is the joker of the class.With shining dark eyes，he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
   But he's nervous. "I'm here to tell you today why you should …should…" Chris trips on the "-ld，" a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.His teacher，Thomas Whaley，is next to him，whispering support. "…Vote for …me …" Except for some stumbles，Chris is doing amazingly well.When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion，Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
   A son of immigrants，Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago.Whaley recalls（回想起）how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
   Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience.What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student，" Whaley explains，"especially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，'I don't know，but I want to know.'"
   Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.The answer broke his heart.Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public.He wants these kids to learn to boast（夸耀）about themselves.
   "Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities，" Whaley says，"is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."

       Now，she's a mom.Dentler volunteered at the school to help kids learn to read， "The kids were very curious.They asked me a ton of questions and it was actually pretty fun to answer them.And the kids' eyes would get really big when they heard that I could do all of these things."

  • 3．Chinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as "geilivable" might find a new regulation very "ungeilivable".The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language.
       "Geilivable"，combining the pinyin geili （giving strength） with the English suffix （后綴） for adjectives，literally means "giving power" or "cool".Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. "Hengeilivable" means "very cool"，and "ungeilivable" means "dull，not cool at all".
       Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens，who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society.One example is "antizen"，which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments，like tiny and laborious ants.
       David Tool，a professor with the Beijing International Studies University，said it's very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. "English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people.They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences，" Tool said.
       At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication，netizens expressed their concern.
       "The administration is totally 'ungeilivable'，" said a netizen named laoda1713. "I know other netizens will shed tears with me…it is a good chance to enrich our language".
       "Language is always developing，" said a columnist，Wang Pei. "It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom. "
       But an unnamed official with the administration said that，in fact，many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later，the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions.The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language，and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication.

    （1）The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication may be aimed at
    .
    A．simplifying the Chinese language
    B．limiting the development of language
    C．banning the use of Chinglish
    D．making the netizens more serious
    （2）The underlined word "meager" in the third paragraph probably means
    .
    A．poor
    B．flexible
    C．high
    D．plentiful
    （3）From this passage we can infer that
    .
    A．the Chinese people like their own language only
    B．the English words are considered informal in China
    C．nobody in China will support the new regulation
    D． "geilivable" will be popular among Chinese netizens
    （4）On which column of China Daily can you find this passage？

    A．Entertainment
    B．Business
    C．Travel
    D．Opinion
