Beijing has started a battle to get rid of "Chinglish" (Chinese English).The "Language Mandarins" of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China's modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in 2008.
A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace (Chang'an Street) ,for example, advises: "To Take Notice of Safe; The Slippery Are Very Crafty", a warning that the sidewalk was slippery(滑).Another sign in a Beijing park reads: "Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on sidewalk."
Li Honghai, the city official in charge of the battle, said," Linguistic perfection (语言美) is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city."
However, not everyone shares the disdain (蔑视) of the Beijing government for the mixed language."The choice of words is pretty much.One can either choose the verbs, adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes," explained one Hong Kong linguist on an Internet website.
So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases.Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with "Keep this candle out of children" and a model boat—curiously named Posh Sailboat—which means, "Please don't place it in dusty play."
If the battle against Chinglish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English-language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.
The underlined word "obliterated" refers to .
A.removed | B.exploited | C.translated | D.beautified |
From the passage, we know that .
A.everyone shares the disdain for the mixed language |
B.Chinglish usually communicates in many cases |
C.all the people don't share the disdain for the mixed language |
D.several Internet sites have been set up to clear the Chinghsh phrases |
We can infer that the English language versions of newspapers _____.
A.should report the battle above |
B.should be paid more attention to |
C.should collect more Chingliah phrases |
D.should be in duty to teach normal English |
Which of the following signs is Chinglish?

Can you imagine traveling to work in a one – man submarine? Some scientists believe that some day one – man submarines will be as many as automobiles are today.A famous French driver says, “One day soon, men will walk on the ocean floor as they do on the street!” Perhaps during your lifetime people will travel, and live in the sea.
If human beings want to live in the ocean, many human problems will need to be studied first.
Some of these problems, similar to those of living in outer space, are pressure, lack of oxygen and weightlessness. Many questions are still unanswered.For example, can our blood make itself fit for underwater surroundings? What will happen to our muscle if we live in the water very long? Scientists are looking for answers.
Perhaps in the future man will live in the sea, away from the crowded and noisy cities on land.Then sea has plenty of space, not only for floating living buildings and parks, but also for storing supplies and for underwater travel.

Mobile phones are being more wide used. They’re light in weight and easy to carry, offer fast and convenient service for communication. The users use them for making phone call, sending short messages and Internet-surfing. In recently years, mobile phones have become popular to middle school students. Quite few use them to keep in touch with their families and friends, what, of course, was of great convenience. However, I don’t think it’s good to do so. In spite of the advantages mentioned above, student users often waste a lot of time chat on the phone in their spare time. Some even cheat in exams. In addition to, mobile phone bills cost their parents lots of money.
