单选题 Texting has long been bemoaned (哀叹) as the downfall of the written word, 'penmanship for illiterates, ' as one critic called it. To which the proper response is LOL. Texting properly isn’t writing at all. It’s a 'spoken' language that is getting richer and more complex by the year. First, some historical perspective. Writing was only invented 5 500 years ago, whereas language probably traces back at least 80 000 years. Thus talking came first; writing is just a craft that came along later. As such, the first writing was based on the way people talk, with short sentences. However, while talking is largely subconscious and rapid, writing is deliberate and slow. Over time, writers took advantage of this and started crafting long-winded sentences such as this one: 'The whole engagement lasted above 12hours, till the gradual retreat of the Persians was changed into a disorderly flight, of which the shameful example was given by the principal leaders and...' No one talks like that casually—or should. But it is natural to desire to do so for special occasions. In the old days, we didn’t much write like talking because there was no mechanism to reproduce the speed of conversation. But texting and instant messaging do—and a revolution has begun. It involves the crude mechanics of writing, but in its economy, spontaneity and even vulgarity, texting is actually a new kind of talking, with its own kind of grammar and conventions. Take LOL. It doesn’t actually mean 'laughing out loud' in a literal sense anymore. LOL has evolved into something much subtler and sophisticated and is used even when nothing is remotely amusing. Jocelyn texts 'Where have you been?' and Annabelle texts back 'LOL at the library studying for two hours.' LOL signals basic empathy (同感) between texters, easing tension and creating a sense of equality. Instead of having a literal meaning, it does something—conveying an attitude—just like the -ed ending conveys past tense rather than 'meaning' anything. LOL, of all things, is grammar. Of course no one thinks about that consciously. But then most of communication operates without being noticed. Over time, the meaning of a word or an expression drifts—meat used to mean any kind of food, silly used to mean, believe it or not, blessed. Civilization, then, is fine—people banging away on their smartphones are fluently using a code separate from the one they use in actual writing, and there is no evidence that texting is ruining composition skills. Worldwide people speak differently from the way they write, and texting—quick, casual and only intended to be read once—is actually a way of talking with your fingers.

单选题 You might think you left the world of cliques (小团体) and in-crowds behind when you left high school. You'd be wrong. The benefits of being popular 28 all the way into the adult workplace, based on research in the latest issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology. Just like children on the playground, co-workers not only agree on who's popular, but they also afford those lucky few more favourable treatment. This 29 more help and good manners, and less rudeness and withholding of helpful information, 30 on a study of 255 employees and their co-workers in hospital, restaurant, sales and administrative jobs. The researchers, Brent Scott of Michigan State University and Timothy Judge of the University of Florida, said popular workers 31 more co-worker support 32 of their status on the organisation chart. They also may gain an unfair advantage over less 33 colleagues, the researchers suggest, which may hinder a meritocracy (唯才是举). 'By valuing popularity, organisations may be promoting a certain 'clubby' atmosphere that imitates school culture' rather than 34 merit, the researchers write. I've been fortunate in working in meritocracies most of my life, but that's not the 35 among fictional examples, consider the television comedy 'The Office'. Who in his or her fight mind would promote the cold, manipulative Angela Martin over the friendly Jim Halpert? The popular paper salesman proves the study's point, rising 36 on the Dunder Mifflin organisation chart with his smart 'people skills', despite his 37 to his job. In fact, what these researchers call popularity, career coaches might call savvy (精明的) office politics the art of getting people in your comer. And it's clearly a big deal in many workplaces. A. based B. charming C. concludes D. drew E. enthusiasm F. extend G. fast H. get I. includes J. indifference K. norm L. ordinary M. regardless N. rewarding O. slowly
