bothered while taking a call.

Researchers have based their finding on a survey of 2,000 phone users in Britain, a third of young people aged 18 to 24 admitted answering their cell phones with greetings such as "hi", "yo" or "what's up" instead of "hello".

According to the researchers, the greeting "hello" has been around nearly as long as the telephone itself.

When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, he answered it with the greeting "Ahoy-hoy" that was used as a greeting on ship radios at the time. However, American inventor Thomas Alva Edison did not like it and invented "hello" which was recorded in the dictionary in 1883.

But, nearly a third of the respondents, including adults, said their phone answering habits had become less formal and more casual over the past decade, with only one in twenty adopting a more formal phone answering style.

Many of those who use a less formal greeting said it was due to the increase in ways they can communicate, with text messages, mobile phones and emails, British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported.

Scottish people are most likely to greet callers by name when answering their mobile phones, with 28 percent checking who is calling them in order to personalize their greetings, it revealed.

Stewart Fox-Mills, the Head of Telephony at the Post Office (英国邮局电信), which commissioned the survey, said, "It's fascinating to see how the public's relationship with the telephone has changed and how, despite range of communication technologies available, it still has such a critical role."

(C)

You go red with anger, green with envy, and white with fright. If you're unhappy, you are blue; and if you're a coward (胆小鬼), you are yellow. Whatever your feelings are, you can find a colour to describe you.

But colours not only describe feelings, they can also have a very strong effect on us. Everybody has noticed how you feel colder in a blue room than in a red room even though the rooms are at the same temperature. So colours can affect our moods. And it is also possible that our own choice of a favourite colour can tell us something about ourselves. For example, blue is the colour of calm seas and clear skies. You like peace and quiet and like to feel you belong to a group of trusted friends. Red makes bulls charge and makes your pressure go up. You are competitive, very strong-minded and full of energy. If you choose the colour green, you are strong-minded and determined. You do not wish to change, but you certainly wish to succeed and what's more, you want other people to see you are successful. Black is a negative colour. It shows you find life at the moment rather unpleasant. But your choice also shows that you are protesting (抗议) strongly against your situation. So you are not a negative person.

1.If you prefer blue, you like to _____________ .

A. live a peaceful and quiet life

B. travel in blue sky or clear sea

C. live in a room of

blue colour D. make friends with others

A.Blood pressure goes up often because of red colour.

B.A coward usually looks yellow.

C.Colours can show your feelings and can affect you, too.

Part IV、Guided Writing

Why is it important to be lifelong learners?

A recent research indicates that: in 19th century, technological knowledge was doubled every 50 years; however, nowadays it is doubled every 3 or 5 years. Another research suggests: in agricultural economy times, receiving education from the age of 7 to 14 is enough for life and work need in the following 40 years; in industrial economy times, the education age was extended from 5 to 22; in recent knowledge economy times, it is necessary for us to extend from the 16-year school education to 80-year lifelong education. We shall carry it out as an important strategic measure for the future social development. The establishment of a study-type society has become a common object for the world education development and reform. Developed nations and regions make laws and policies to promote the implement of the lifelong-study system.

The Chinese government has already foreseen it, and put forward the call of setting up a study-type society. The construction of a harmonious society is an important strategic idea posed by the Central Committee of Chinese Communist Party under the headship of Hu Jintao. However, the construction of a harmonious society relies on the enhancement of people's quality, which can only be achieved by continuous study. The establishment of all-citizen-orientated lifelong-study-type society is the basis, and the pushing force of the construction of a harmonious society.
