TV viewers may no longer be able to hear English abbreviations (缩写), like "NBA" (National Basketball Association), from mainland broadcasters.
China Central Television (CCTV) and Beijing Television (BTV) confirmed to China Daily on Tuesday that they had received a notice from a related government department, asking them to avoid using certain English abbreviations in Chinese programs.
The channels, however, did not reveal exactly how many English abbreviations are listed in the notice.
The notice not only limits the use of English abbreviations in sports news, but also in economic and political news. Abbreviations such as "GDP" (gross domestic product), "WTO" (World Trade Organization) and "CPI" (consumer price index) will also be substituted(代替)with their Chinese pronunciations, it said.
The move comes after a growing number of national legislators(立法委员)and political advisors called for preventive measures to preserve(保存)the purity of the Chinese language.
"If we don't pay attention and don't take measures to stop mixing Chinese with English, the Chinese language won't remain pure in a couple of years," said Huang Youyi, editor-in-chief of the China International Publishing Group and secretary-general of the Translators' Association of China.
The restricted use of English abbreviations on Chinese television programs has provoked a debate among scholars.
"It makes no sense to introduce a regulation to prevent the use of English in the Chinese language in the face of globalization(全球化)," Liu Yaoying, a professor at the Communication University of China, said on Tuesday. "It is cultural conservatism(保守主义)。"
"If Western countries can accept some Chinglish words, why can't the Chinese language be mixed with English?"
86. What does the government tell TV stations to do in the notice? (no more than 12 words)
_________________________________________________.
87. In what TV programs English abbreviations are limited? (List three of them)
_________________________________________________.
88. According to Huang Youyi’s opinion, why should we stop using English abbreviations?
(no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________.
89. “Chinglish” in the last sentence means __________________. (no more than 10 words)

Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been proved that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor(香味)was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rat did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.
In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria(自助餐厅) feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given what ever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.
So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what’s best for them. Obviously, there is a ‘body wisdom’, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around us.
