二、请认真阅读下面短文，填入括号内单词的正确形式。
The emoji is a kind of special language. Have you 1. ________（find）that more and more people are using emojis to communicate online? Shigetaka Kurita 2. ________（create）the emoji in Japan and it was popular on the Internet. The purpose of creating emojis 3. ________（be）to make people’s expressions more interesting. By using them, we can understand the feelings behind the words, and even an emoji can show our feelings.
One of the nice things about emojis is that people from all over the world can understand them. But recently, I 4. ________（learn）that some emojis mean differently in China.
Take the basic smiling face emoji as an example. At first, I 5. ________（think）it was just a normal, friendly smile. But later, I found out that it 6. ________（can）mean something different. Now it can mean that someone is thinking himself superior(优越的) to you or even laughing at you. I read online that although the emoji is smiling, its eyes are looking downward, which makes it not look like a true smile.
Or what about the smiling face with a waving hand? It is certain to look friendly enough. But in fact, Chinese people use this emoji to show that they don’t want to talk to someone—the hand is waving “goodbye”.
In fact, some emojis also have two different meanings in Western countries. One of my favourite emojis is the “cry - laugh” emoji. At first, it 7. ________（mean）“rolling on the floor laughing”. But now, the meaning 8. ________（change）. It is often used to describe situations that are so tragic（悲惨的）that you can’t help but laugh to make yourself happy again.
It looks like the language of emojis changes over time, just like the real language. We should think twice before we use emojis.

答案： 1. found 2. created 3. was 4. have learnt 5. thought 6. could 7. meant 8. has changed
