     It's not a new phenomenon,

but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We
all use them, often without noticing what we're doing.
     I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and
my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!
     Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax,
which is a shortening of facsimile originally, an exact copy of a book or document. We all got used
to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising
we'd fax it immediately. So, noun

s turn into verbs in two easy stages. Then along came email, and we
were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without
my daily emails.
     Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple
of  new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think
I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up
from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite-coming from
“favorite pages”, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun. I wasn’t really sure whether
people said this, but someone told me recently that they had favorited a site I was looking for and so
they could easily give me its address.
     In the late 1980s I noticed that lots of my friends had acquired pagers, and kept saying things like
“I’ll page you as soon as I know what time we’re meeting”. They couldn't say it to me, though; I
refused to have one. So my children bought me a mobile phone, now known simply as a mobile and
I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message （either
spoken or written）for them on their phone．Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when
and where to meet, for example. How  long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them
using my mobile? I haven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start using it myself!

社会现象类阅读解题技巧：

这类文章通过写人记事来揭示文章的主题，显示其社会意义，一般采用顺序或倒叙来叙述。题目经常是一些细节问题。考查的方面可以是原因和其中引发的思考。阅读这类文章要理清思路。
1、浏览试题，明确要求。
      在阅读文章前，最好先浏览一下文章后面的题干和选项。知道了问题后再去看文章，可使思路更敏捷，而且也便于阅读时留意文中出现的与选项有关的信息。
2、通读全文，抓住主要内容。
      在不影响理解的前提下，尽可能地阅读以便在尽可能短的时间内理解文章或段落的内容。阅读时，如遇到不熟悉的单词、词组或一时看不懂的句子，不要停下来苦思冥想，继续读下去，通过上下文的词语和句子可能就理解了。
3、抓住中心思想和段落大意。
      通读全文时，要特别注意主题句。每篇文章或每个段落都有与文章有关的句子，尤其是科技、政论性文章的主题句一般都在文章的开头或结尾，插在中间的很少。所以，文章的第一段或开头的第一、二个句子往往包含着文章的中心思想、作者的意图或全文的概述，因此要特别注意，彻底理解。
4、有针对性地仔细阅读，找寻所需信息。
      在前面的基础上，可进行有针对性地阅读了。把与问题无关的内容一扫而过，而对于和问题有关的内容认真阅读，还可以用笔在下面做出记号。再把这些信息与问题的要求结合起来，逐条分析，综合判断，找出正确答案。
5、进行合理的推理判断。
      对文章有了全面的了解之后，可以按照文章要求以及上下文之间的关系，做出推理判断。在进行推理判断的时候，需要综合考虑句型、语法、句子之间的逻辑关系、文化背景等方面的因素。
6、认真复读，验证答案。
      要用全文的中心思想统帅各个题目，研究其内在联系和逻辑关系，并依次审核那些还未打上的题目，确保理解无误。
