He said that joining the Houston Rockets was a new start and a new challenge. "I hope that through very hard work I can make everyone happy and help the Rockets win more games," he said. Yao Ming speaks some English. Both he and his teammates can understand each other. They don't think there is a language problem. While Yao Ming faces this new challenge, the people of Houston have shown great interest in him and they hope Yao Ming will bring new energy to the Rockets.

Put an ice cube from your fridge into a glass of water. You have a piece of string(线) 10 centimeters long. The problem is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string. But you must not touch the ice with your fingers.
You may ask your friends to try to do that when you are having dinner together. There is a saltcellar on the table. You must use salt when you carry out this experiment.
First you put the string across the piece of ice. Then put some salt on the ice. Salt makes ice melt(融化). The ice round the string will begin to melt. But when it melts, it will lose heat. The cold ice cube will make the salt water freeze again.
After a minute or two you may raise the piece of string and with it you will raise your piece of ice!
This experiment can be very useful to you. If, for example, there is ice near the door of your house, you must use very much salt to melt all the ice. If you don’t put enough salt, the water will freeze again.
【1】We must use _______ when we carry out this experiment.
A.fridge B.some food C.a table D.some salt
【2】How long will it take to carry out this experiment?
A.More than three minutes. B.Five minutes or so.
C.Only one minute or two. D.About ten minutes.
【3】What is the task of this experiment?
A.Put the ice cube into the glass of water with the help of the string.
B.Take out the ice cube in the glass of water with the help of the string.
C.Take out the ice cube in the glass of water with your fingers.
D.Put some salt on the ice cube and then put the string across it.
【4】How many things at least are used in this experiment?
A.Three. B.Four. C.Six. D.Seven.

I prefer Lynne Truss’s phraseology: I am a grammar “sticker”. And, like Truss – author of Eats, shoots & Leaves – I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.
Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job – even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.
Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, iFixit or Dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. If job hopefuls can’t distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.
Of course, we write for a living. iFixit.com is the world’s largest online repair manual (指南), and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. So, it makes sense that we’ve made a strong strike against grammar errors.
But grammar is relevant for all companies. Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn’t make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the Internet. And, for better or worse, people judge you if you can’t tell the difference between “their” “there” and “they’re”.
Good grammar makes good business sense – and not just when it comes to hiring writers. Writing isn’t in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.
Grammar signifies more than just a person’s ability to remember high school English. I’ve found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing – like stocking shelves or labeling parts. It is the same with programmers. Applicants who don’t think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren’t important.
【1】What’s the author’s “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar?
A.They should be left out for a job. B.They have to correct their mistakes.
C.They aren’t qualified for their jobs. D.They must be severely punished.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE of iFixit and Dozuki?
A.Only one of them has a compulsory grammar test.
B.They are companies where one learns grammar.
C.Grammar is quite important for their existence.
D.They depend on grammar correction for a living.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A.Companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.
B.Grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.
C.A “zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair.
D.People who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.
