Who is your hero Why do you like the person Cool looks Money A lot of

NBA star Yao Ming was the No. 1 Chinese hero with 48 percent of all votes (投
票) . Zheng Hua, a 13-year-old boy from Shanghai, told us that it was hard for him to
go all the way to the NBA. He’s a big star. Most of us think he is still kind and loves
others after he becomes a famous star. He also helps disabled (残疾的) children.
Jay Zhou from Taiwan is the teen’s most favorite star. Liu Yan from a high school
of Shanghai is one of Jay’s big fans. In her sight, Jay is not just a pop star. “Jay’s so
kind to his mother and grandma. He takes good care of them. ” said Liu Yan.
Wang Hao, from a high school of Guangdong, said he liked Zhou Enlai. “He’s
great. He loved his people. He saw people as his own children. And he never thought
he was different from others. ”
Shanghai students also like the US businessman Bill Gates. More than half
consider him as their hero. One teenager from Beijing who likes Gates said, “Bill was

“Whaaaat’s uppppp ” Did you see anyone write like this Now more and more
kids are using these kinds of words in phone messages or other online messages.
These kinds of words are called “stretchable” words (可拉伸单词).
Younger people especially like using stretchable words because these words seem
playful and interesting. They are interested in the new and creative spelling of words.
Also, stretchable words can help them to show strong feelings without the use of
emojis (表情符号).
For example, one of the most common stretchable words is “ha”. Because it’s
short, it can be easily stretched. If something is just a little funny, you might just type
4
“haha”. But if something is really funny, you might type “hahahahaha”.
Another example is “yeeeesssss”. When you type “yes”, it might sound like you
are just fine with an idea. But if you use “yeeeesssss”, it shows that you are very
excited about it.
Tyler Gray, a teacher in a university, studies how people use stretchable words
online. The title of his article, “Hahahahaha, Duuuuude, Yeeessss!” has three different
examples of stretchable words.
Although stretchable words are popular online, many parents and teachers don’t
want children to use them too often. They think the stretchable words may make a
difference to their schoolwork. We know that more formal (正式的 ) writing is
necessary in school. So if you like using them when talking with friends, remember
not to use them in your homework!

A. in the test B. in phone messages
C. in the homework D. in diaries

A. Hahahahaha. B. Yeeeesssss.
C. Duuuuude. D. Heellllp.

A. It’s popular among kids.

C. It’s necessary in formal writing.
