The Internet is a place where we can talk freely, but it is also a place where we pay little attention to whether or not our language ability is becoming poorer.

According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, more than 76 percent of young people in China said they felt their Chinese language skills have declined（下降）. They don’t use complex rhetorical technique（ 修辞手法） as often anymore. It is believed that digital technology and Internet emojis（表情包） have changed their communication habits.

For example, direct expression is a preferred（首选）way to communicate online. When one sees something funny, one will simply type “hahaha” or use the “cry-laugh” emoji, Beijing Youth Daily noted. What’s more, Cai Xiaoxia’s teacher from Fuzhou, told China Youth Daily that words in general are being used less. For example, people can share photos and emojis online with little need for words to describe them.

Also, “copy and paste（粘贴）” culture is getting popular. People simply pick up expressions from the internet without much thought. Many begin to use a fixed set of sentence patterns, such as “…yyds “.

If this continues, it could influence our way of thinking, People’s Daily noted. When we use expressions without thinking, it means we have become too lazy to express our real feelings. If teenagers are used to using emojis, they could lose the ability to use words properly.

To improve our language skills, experts suggest that we should try to think independently and develop our own language. They also suggest that we should read more works of literature（文学）. “ Keep using different words to show your special feelings.” said Shen Xiaolong, a professor in the Chinese department at Fudan University.

27．Which information is NOT true according to China Youth Daily’s survey?

A．Over three quarters of young Chinese people think their language skills have become stronger.

B．Young Chinese people don’t use complex rhetorical technique as often anymore.

C．Digital technology and Internet emojis have changed young Chinese people’s communication habits.

D．Young Chinese people don’t need to use words to describe photos they showed.

28．Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly tell us ________.

A．what people’s new communication habits are

B．which phrases are the most popular on the internet

C．why young people like using emojis

D．where young people learn new expressions

29．If people are used to direct expressions and emojis, people could become ________.

A．good at thinking creatively

B．unable to use words properly

C．less interested in taking with others

D．more active to express their real feelings

30．If we divide the passage into four parts, the answer should be ________.

（①＝Para.1 ②＝Para.2  ③＝Para.3  ④＝Para.4  ⑤＝Para.5  ⑥＝Para.6）

A．①②③；④；⑤；⑥ B．①；②③；④；⑤⑥ C．①；②③④；⑤；⑥ D．①；②；③；④⑤⑥

Tomb-sweeping Day

It’s also called the Qingming Festival or the Pure and Bright Festival. It’s on the 15th day after the Spring Equinox (春分). People worship (祭拜) a person who passed away or their ancestors and clean up tombs. Qingming in Chinese means the weather is pure and bright in spring days, so people go out to celebrate the coming of the new season.

The Duanwu Festival

People celebrate the Duanwu Festival on May 5th in the lunar calendar. The traditional activities on that day are having dragon boat races and eating zongzi. In some areas, people believe that the day is an evil day (凶日), and babies under one year old should be taken to their grandma’s to avoid being hurt. Doing so can bring babies’ safety and good luck.

The Mid-Autumn Festival

It takes place on August 15th in the lunar calendar. It’s a special festival when people go back home, no matter what they’re.
