Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

五、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。
Do you understand “OMG” when you receive a piece of text message like this? Its meaning is “oh my god”. Have you seen Brb （be right back）, gr8 （great）, cya（see you）–it’s a lot easier to use abbreviations when we text, isn’t it? But while we might think nothing of it, there’s an ongoing discussion that text messaging can have a bad influence on people’s grammar. Many believe the abbreviations are giving students bad habits when it comes to spelling and punctuation.
Some teachers say that texting and social networking cause students to be lazy when writing. A study showed that young adults who often use text messaging find it rather difficult to turn back to correct grammar when needed.
But another view is that text messaging has no influence at all. Many people consider it to be a language of its own. We could compare it to a foreign language which students learn. This doesn’t have any influence on their native language.
Whether it’s bad or not, it seems that text language is becoming very popular. According to another study, 64 percent of teens said they used informal “text language” in their writing.
But it’s not just a matter of language. Students who text a lot during class may have difficulty paying attention. In another study, students were asked to complete a questionnaire on how many text messages they sent and received during class. On average, students sent more than two text messages during classes lasting 50 to 75 minutes. The study showed that students who often text during classes can’t easily keep their attention on the lesson, which will surely harm their learning.
Topic: Use abbreviations 56 texting
