Starting from this month, you won't be hearing the word "NBA" on sports programs on CCTV. Instead, sport hosts will give the full Chinese name when they refer to the NBA - National Basketball Association. You also won't hear any other English abbreviations on CCTV's Chinese programs, such as GDP (gross domestic product) or WTO (World Trade Organization). You will hear their Chinese translations.
CCTV received a notice from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, telling it to avoid using English-language abbreviations in their reports to protect the "purity" of the Chinese language. A few other TV stations also received the notice.
Fu Zhenguo, an editor of People's Daily, is one of the people who proposed the change. "Using English in a Chinese-speaking environment is against Chinese law," he said. "Using English on Chinese TV programs is unfair to people who don't understand English. It will have a bad language influence on kids and teenagers."
But some experts have a different opinion. Liu Yaoying, a professor at the Communications University of China, said the move shows cultural conservatism . "If Western countries can accept some Chinglish words, why can't the Chinese language be mixed with English?" Liu said.
A lot of people have criticized the move, saying that it will cause problems for them.
"I understand what CD, VCD and DVD mean when I hear them. But I won't know what the TV programs are talking about if I hear those products' full Chinese names," a person wrote in a BBS post. Following the same post, another person wrote jokingly: "I'm not listening to my MP3 now. I'm listening to my Moving Picture Experts Group-1 Audio Layer 3.
Some people also question why CCTV is keeping its logo, since it is also an English abbreviation.

<question>:
We can't hear the English abbreviations from this month because  _  .

<options>:
A no one can say the abbreviations
B the abbreviations are useless
C Chinese translations are easier to be understood.

Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out .Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobe Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell  researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance  can lead.
At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon's high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was"quite ridiculous".
In spite of his teacher s criticisms,Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
"My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work," Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone  of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal in the world.
In 2006,Gurdon's work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person's skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.
Luck favors the prepared mind Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. "Ninety percent of the time things don't work,but when they do,you have to seize the chance."

"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three."
"Test of Three?"
"That's correct," Socrates continued. "The first test is Truth. Are you sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man replied, "actually I just heard about it."
"All right, so you don't really know if it's true or not," said Socrates. "Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not sure it's true?"
The man shrugged  , a little embarrassed.
"The third test - the filter   of Usefulness," Socrates continued. "Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really..."
"Well," Socrates said, "if what you want to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor even useful, why do you want to tell me at all?"

"Test of Three?"
"That's correct," Socrates continued. "The first test is Truth. Are you sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not sure it's true?"
The man shrugged  , a little embarrassed.
"The third test - the filter   of Usefulness," Socrates continued. "Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"

Wherever travelers go, cameras are sure to follow. It's great fun to take photos, and even more fun to show _ of the trip to friends and relatives when they come back home.
There's Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace; Aunt Sarah, smiling under the Eiffel Tower; and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like; they also know what Europe's great landmarks   look like.

John was a very strong man. Once he got a job of cutting wood in a forest. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he should work.
The first day, John cut down 18 trees. "Good," the boss said, "keep it up!" John was encouraged by the words of the boss and tried harder the next day, but he could only cut down 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only cut down 10 trees. Day after day he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees.
"I must be losing my strength," John thought. He went to the boss and said that he could not understand what was going on. "When was the last time you had sharpened your axe?" the boss asked. "Sharpened? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut more treesl" said John.
The moral of this story: While John was working hard, he didn't think about how to do his job better. Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take time to sharpen our skills. Many of us never learn new skills. We think that whatever we have learned is enough. However, in some ways, sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to success.

Andrew Holleman, a 12-year-old boy,loved playing in the open land near his home.The land was wet and forested, and made a home for birds, other animals and many different plants.

When I was a kid, my dad worked in a shop in the center of our town. Sometimes, I went to the shop with him and I made a little pocket money by buying things for his workmates. But I never paid attention to all the things and people around me.
One day, as my dad and I were driving to the shop, I looked out of the window of the car and I saw an old man standing at the street corner. There was a rose in his hand, he was smelling the rose. For some reason, our eyes met and we looked at each other for about twenty seconds. There was nothing unusual about this man but the meet was unusual to me.

Once a great man encouraged us to "stop and smell the rose". Now I want to tell these words to you. Stop what you are busy with and try to fully understand things and people in your eyesight. If you don't care about others on your road of life, then you are missing your life itself.
