閱讀短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

  English is an important international language, but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn.Many experts have tried to make English easier to learn-but they weren't always successful.

  In 1930, ProfessorC.K.Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English.It had only 850 words(and just eighteen verbs)and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours.The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn't understand the answers in ‘real’ English! It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn't in the Basic English word list.

  R.E.Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language with the name Anglic.Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling.‘Father’ became ‘faadher’, ‘new’ become ‘nue’ and ‘years’ became ‘yeerz’.Unluckily, Anglic never became popular.

  In the age of international communication through the Internet, who knows what will happen? …a new form of English might appear.A large number of the world's e-mails are in English and include examples of ‘NetLingo’ like OIC(Oh, I see)and TTYL(Talk to you later).In another fifty year, English might not be used.We might all speak fluent Internetish!

任務(wù)型閱讀: 閱讀下面短文, 然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)空回答問題.   It's true that we need some forms of recreation(娛樂). If we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life, we can't work all the time. Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to take part in sports. There are team sports, such as baseball, basketball and football. There are individual(個人的) sports, such as golf and swimming. Fishing, skiing and hiking are also great attractions for people.   Not everyone who enjoys sporting events likes to take part in them. Many people prefer to be spectators(觀眾), either by watching them on TV, or listening to them on the radio. When there is an important baseball game or boxing match on, it is almost impossible to get tickets to see it live(現(xiàn)場轉(zhuǎn)播).   Chess, card playing and dancing are other forms of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people.   It's important for everyone to relax from time to time and enjoy some forms of recreation. ewline

And I did rather badly in my first English test. While I was in   101   , my English teacher gave me much help. I wish to practice speaking English with foreigners every day!
