A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-t o-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to nationalnews, which itself i s often almost eclipsed by international news.Extra Passage 12 Key: BDCBUnit 13Text: ExercisesA: aB. 1.c 2.d 3.c 4.a 5.d 6.b 7.a 8.bD. 1.c 2.b 3.a 4.d 5.a 6.c 7.a 8.b 9.d 10.bFast reading1.c2.d3.a4.c5.c6.c7.a8.c9.c 10.d 11.b 12.d 13.b 14.d 15.bHome Reading1.b2.d3.b4.c5.c6.b7.d8.dCloze 13Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only ofthere was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. Itabnormal conditions on their children – conditionsone minute!Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost amongrequire to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock.nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunityto get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a positionand many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical advantage it is ( to give just a small example ) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girl or vice-versa. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place.Extra Passage 13 Key: DCDAUnit 14Text: ExercisesA: cB. 1.d 2.d 3.c 4.a 5.d 6.d 7.a 8.bD. 1.d 2.a 3.c 4.a 5.d 6.b 7.a 8.b 9.a 10.d11.bFast reading1.d2.d3.a4.b5.b6.b7.d8.d9.c 10.a 11.d 12.c 13.a 14.c 15.bHome Reading1.c2.d3.c4.d5.a6.d7.dExtra Passage 14 Key: CACCDUnit 15Text: ExercisesA: cB. 1.a 2.b 3.b 4.a 5.c 6.b 7.c 8.c 9.d 10.b11.bD. 1.b 2.a 3.b 4.c 5.c 6.a 7.C 8.a 9.c 10.d 11.b12.bFast reading1.c2.a3.c4.c5.b6.a7.c8.c9.d 10.c 11.d 12.d 13.a 14.d 15.aHome Reading1.c2.d3.a4.c5.d6.d7.c8.cExtra Passage 15 Key: CBBDA赠送常用精致线性可编辑小图标。

Many people usegobbledygook because they want to appear moreimportant than they really are or because theydon't really want people to understand what theymean or what they are doing.2. Do you agree with Humpty Dumpty regarding the meaning of a word? Why or why not?答案 Well, I don't quite agree with him.This issue involves philosophical thinkingregarding the relationship between language andidea. If a word means whatever people choose itto mean, the meaning will vary from one person toanother, and people will not be able tocommunicate. On the other hand, people may use thesame word in different ways which lead todifferent meanings. No matter how different thesame word may mean, the meaning should bemeaningful so that others can understand it.3. What makes a master of language? Can you name some masters of language?答案"A master knows what words really mean, andwhere they come from; know when to use big,important ones and when to use the shorter,equally important ones". Brevity is the soul oflanguage. Shakespeare and Samuel Johnson areamong masters of language.PracticeAdd the missing words to the following headlines.1.

Regulators approve $72B drug merger( The regulators approve $72 billion drug merger. )6. Bad weather knocks retailer for loopP assage OneHave you ever heard "hit the nail on the head"? Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive home the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So it is with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective, will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose.The French have an apt phrase for this. They speak of "le mot juste", the word that is just right. Stories are told of scrupulous writers, like Flaubert, who spent days trying to get one or two sentences exactly right. Words are many and various; they are subtle and delicate in their different shades of meaning, and it is not easy to find the ones that express precisely what we want to say. It is not only a matter of having a good command of language and a fairly wide vocabulary; it is also necessary to think hard and to observe accurately. Choosing words is part of the process of realization, of defining our thoughts and feelings for ourselves, as well as for those who hear or read our words. Someone once remarked: "How can I know what I think till I see what I say?" This sounds stupid, but there is a great deal of truth in it.It is hard work choosing the right words, but we shall be rewarded by the satisfaction that finding them brings. The exact use of language gives us mastery over the material we are dealing with. Perhaps you have been asked "What sort of a man is so-and-so?" You begin: "Oh, I think he's quite a nice chap but he's rather..." and then you hesitate trying to find a word or phrase to express what it is about him that you don't like, thatconstitutes his limitation. When you find the right phrase you feel that your conception of the man is clearer and sharper.In certain primitive tribes it was thought dangerous to reveal your name to a stranger. It might give him power over you. Even in modern civilized society you find yourself at a slight social disadvantage if someone knows your name but you don't know his. Command of words is ultimately command over life and experience.(447 words)1. The author uses the idiom "hit the nail on the head" to demonstrate ______ .( D )(a) the skill of a carpenter(b) the importance of being skillful(c) how one's point can be driven home(d) the importance for a writer to choose the right word2. The word "scrupulous" in paragraph two means ________ . ( A )(a) minutely careful(b) highly skillful(c) very accomplished(d) carpenter-like3. To find an appropriate word for the specified purpose ________. ( D )(a) is a matter of command of the specific language only(b) is a matter of vocabulary(c) is to pick out a word with subtle meaning(d) involves telling people your thoughts and feelings4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? ( C )(a) Choosing a right word for the right situation is challenging and rewarding.(b) Choosing a right word means weighing among its many synonyms.(c) You need to have a clear idea of the thing you are describing to choose the right word.(d) The different shades of meaning are helpful to our expression of ideas.5. It can be inferred that the paragraph that follows the passage may possibly discuss ______ . ( B )(a) a carpenter's work(b) choice of words(c) modern civilized society(d) primitive tribes TOPP assage TwoEnglish has a wide vocabulary and it is a very flexible language. There are many different ways of making a statement. But words that are very similar in meaning have fine shades of difference and a student needs to be alive to these differences. By using his dictionary, and above all by reading, a student can increase his sensitivity to these shades of difference and improve his ability to express his own meanings exactly.Professor Raleigh once stated: "There are no synonyms, and the same statement can never be repeated in a changed form of words." This is perhaps too absolute, but it is not easy to disapprove. Even a slight alteration in the wording of a statement can subtly shift the meaning. The change in words is a change in style, and the effect on the reader is quite different. It is perhaps easier to be a good craftsman with wood and nails than a good craftsman with words, but all of us can increase our skill and sensitivity with a little effort and patience. In this way we shall not only improve our writing, but also our reading.Above all we should try to cultivate an interest in words. The study of words, of their origins and shifting meanings, can tell us a great deal about human life and thought. English offers a fascinating variety of words for many activities and interests.The foreign student of English may be discouraged and dismayed when he learns that there are over 400 000 words in the English language, without counting slang. But let him take courage. More than half of these words are dead. Even Shakespeare used a vocabulary of only some 20 000 words. The average Englishman today probably has a vocabulary range of from 12 000 to 13 000 words. It is good to make your vocabulary as complete as you can, but a great deal can be said and written with a vocabulary of no more than 10 000 words. The important thing is to have a good control and command over the words you do know. Better know two words exactly than three vaguely. A good carpenter is not distinguished by the number of his tools, but by the craftsmanship with which he uses them. So a good writer is not measured by the extent of his vocabulary, but by his skill in finding the word that will hit the nail cleanly on the head.(405 words)6. In this passage, the author tells us that reading can ______ . ( B )(a) increase the vocabulary enormously(b) make one become more aware of the subtle differences of synonyms(c) enable one to learn as many synonyms as possible(d) enable one to be flexible in expressions7. Professor Raleigh's statement "There are no synonyms..." ______ . ( A )(a) stresses the different shades of meanings(b) is too absolute and easy to disapprove(c) is what the author tries to disapprove(d) means that there is no such word "synonym"8. According to the author, an interest in words should be cultivated because _____. ( C )(a) it is more difficult to be expert at words than at nails(b) words are the most fascinating things to observe(c) words offer us a lot of information about human activities(d) words are the most important part of a language9. The author thinks that ______ . ( B )(a) Shakespeare had a very small vocabulary(b) Shakespeare used only a small portion of the English vocabulary(c) it's not necessary to enlarge your vocabulary(d) it's reasonable to feel discouraged at the large amount of vocabulary in English10. In the author's opinion, the most important thing is to ______ . ( D )(a) have a large vocabulary to write and speak with(b) have at least a vocabulary of 10 000(c) use the words you already know(d) know how to find the right word TOPP assage ThreeLanguage is often irrational even in the way it combines words into sentences － in its synthesis. If language were perfectly rational in this respect, we should be able to handle words like the nine digits in arithmetic, and combine them into sentences at pleasure by applying a few simple grammatical rules. In practice, however, we find that a great part of all languages consists of a limited number of natural sentences, only some of which admit of being formed a priori and freely modified by the substitution of the other words, as when from "have", "ink", "pen", we make up such sentences as "I have the ink"; "Who has the pen?" "Who has the ink?" "He has the ink," and so on.But just as we cannot go on speaking long without using irregular inflections, so also we cannot go on speaking naturally for any length of time without using irregular combinations of words － combinationswhich cannot be constructed a priori. The sentences which make up natural speech are of two kinds － general sentences, such as those which have just been given, and special sentences or idioms, such as "how do you do?" "never mind", which are really on a level with simple words, such as salutation, indifference, and like them, have to be learnt one by one, in the same way as the irregularities of the grammar. Many of them, indeed, have meanings inconsistent with those of the words of which they are made up. Thus "do by itself" never has the meaning it has in "how do you do?" and "help" in the idiomatic expression "I could not help being late" has the meaning "prevent" "avoid", which is the exact contrary of its ordinary meaning.Again, even in those cases in which the grammar and dictionary allow us to express an idea by various combinations of words, there is often only one of these combinations in actual use. Those who have had to do Latin prose composition know that the main difficulty of the art consists in having an instinctive knowledge of what combinations to avoid. French has a similar character. English and Greek are much freer in this respect, a fact which many foreigners find it difficult to realize. When they ask me such questions as "Can one speak of an 'elegant supper'?" "Can you say, 'He was bad last night'?" I always answer that English is a free language, and that there is nothing to prevent any one calling a supper "elegant" although I do not remember ever doing so myself. Nevertheless, English has its limitations as well as other languages. Foreigners' English often presents the curious spectacle of a language constructed on strict grammatical principles, but with hardly a single genuinely English sentence in it.(464 words)11.

Which of the following is true? ( B )(a) Grammatically correct sentences are definitely correct.(b) Grammatically correct sentences are not necessarily used in practice.(c) A sentence based on grammar should be idiomatic.(d) A sentence in practical use must be rational.14.

( A )(a) we cannot speak by strict grammatical rules(b) no rule but has exceptions(c) there are two kinds of sentences in a language(d) language has strict grammatical rules to follow TOPText2ExercisesA History of EnglishThe English language we speak today went through three stages called Old English, Middle English and Modern English. But ages before even Old English came into being, many other languages had to arise and develop. The oldest of these, as far as we know, was the Indo-European family of languages, which were beginning to be spoken clear back during the Stone Age. During the Stone Age, some Indo-European people lived on the islands of Britain.The earliest known of these British Indo-Europeans split into two groups called the Scots and the Celts. There was another group, who were not Indo-European, called Picts. Together these three peoples are known as Britons. The Britons were a fierce, Stone Age people constantly making war on each other. They dressed in animal skins, lived in caves or rude wooden huts. These people had their own languages.At the same time that the Stone Age Britons were living their warlike life, the Greeks, far to the east of them, were building a great civilization in Europe. Many of our ideas of art, literature, science, philosophy and government today come from the genius of these ancient people. As the Greek civilization reached a high point, another great civilization was being built in Italy by the Romans, whose language was Latin. When the Romans conquered Greece and made it part of their empire, they found a culture much older and far superior to their own. So they borrowed it.After conquering all of Europe, Rome invaded Britain and made it part of the empire, in AD 43. Romans brought their advanced culture to the Britons. Not only did they bring their art, literature, law and the Latin language, they established schools, built buildings and roads and provided an army to protect themselves against invaders.Meanwhile, the Germanic peoples of northern Europe, known as "Norsemen" or "Northmen," were developing another, separate European culture. Some groups of Norsemen came to be known as Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Goths. They were warriors, but also sailors and traders. In very early times the Angles and Saxons began to trade with the Celts in England. This was probably the first time the Britons came into contact with other peoples.During the four hundred years Britain was part of the Roman Empire, Rome was getting weaker and weaker, and the Norsemen were getting stronger and stronger. Finally they thundered through the Roman defenses along the northern boundaries of the empire. In addition to the attack from the north, Rome was invaded from the east by Mongols, from the south by the Moslems.Being attacked on all sides, Rome had to call back her armies to protect what was left of the empire. By AD 409, Rome had lost all control of Britain.As soon as the Roman armies pulled out of Britain, the Picts and Scots began to destroy the Celts. The Celts turned for help to the Angles and Saxons across the sea in Sweden and Denmark. The latter were quick to respond, because they loved war. They saved the Celts; they also destroyed practically all the culture which had been brought by the Romans: literature, sculpture, schools and roads. The Germanic languages of the Angles and Saxons combined to become Anglo-Saxon. Since the Angles and Saxons had become the power in England, the Anglo-Saxon language became the very early beginning of English.While the Anglo-Saxons were establishing their power in England and making their language the main language of that country, the Roman Empire was sinking deeper and deeper into trouble. By AD 476 the western empire had ceased to exist. And since the Germanic peoples had no interest in preserving Roman culture, it just died. The Church was all that was left of Roman civilization. But Latin survived as the language of churchmen and the wealthy, educated classes, and was to have a profound effect on the development of the languages of southern Europe and England.Gradually, between the sixth and eleventh centuries, the feudal estates of Europe grew into powerful kingdoms. Of these, the French kingdom of Normandy became very important to the development of English.The various peoples in England were coming together as a nation also, under the rule of more powerful kings such as Alfred the Great, who ruled between 871 and 899. Alfred was not only an efficient ruler and a great defender of his people, he was also an eager scholar. He was able to preserve some of the learning which had been left behind when the Romans left England. In Anglo-Saxon he began a detailed diary of events in his own time known as The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Although Alfred encouraged reading and writing in Anglo-Saxon as well as in Latin, most works continued to be written in Latin.Alfred's efforts to unify England and establish a national language apart from Latin were interrupted by an invasion of yet another group of Norsemen, the Vikings. The Vikings who invaded England were called Danes, and those who invaded France were known as the Normans.Gradually, as all invaders do eventually, the Danes settled down and became peaceful farmers. Their language mixed with Anglo-Saxon and became what we know as Old English. Old English was established as the language of the land by the tenth century. For the next hundred years or so after the Danish invasions, the English people lived in peace. If they had continued that way the English language today might be quite different from what it is; it would be something similar to Dutch, Danish and German. But about nine hundred years ago, England was invaded again, and another,very different language was brought to the country. When this language arrived, English moved away from Danish and Anglo-Saxon and passed from Old English into Middle English.The new foreign language which was to have such an important influence on the development of Middle English was French. In 1066, the Norman French people invaded England. The invasion is known as the Norman Conquest, and it is very important for two reasons. First, it was the last time England was ever to be invaded. Second, Old French became as important an influence as Danish and Anglo-Saxon to the development of English as it is today.The Normans brought their law, customs and literature to England. Since there was still so much Latin in their own language, Latin again began to have an influence on English. But this time, the English people did not allow their language to be swallowed up by a foreign language in the way their Celtic and early Anglo-Saxon ancestors had. Although the invading Norman French became the rulers of the land, and French became the language of government and law in England, the English people stubbornly refused to give up their own language. English remained the spoken language of the people. And when they did accept French words, they mispronounced them so badly that no one could recognize them as French.So, for a time, England was a land where there were two languages － the French of the ruling class, and the Anglo-Saxon, or Old English, of the servant class, the English people. Smart people of both classes learned both languages, and eventually the two languages came together to form what we know today as Middle English. Middle English was neither French nor Anglo-Saxon; it was a completely different language combined of both. The change from Old English to Middle English took place gradually over a period of about three hundred years.Middle English was a very disorganized language. But in Europe and in the Middle East, many changes were taking place which would have an important effect on the future of the English language. Let's look back for a moment to see what these changes were.As western Europe split into feudal estates the Moslems of the Middle East were pushing farther west and threatening the Christian rulers of the eastern empire. In 638 the Moslems had captured Jerusalem. European kings wanted it back, because they felt it belonged to Christians. They broke through the Moslem defenses and began a long series of wars called the Crusades.For two hundred years, from 1095 to 1291, European Christians joined forces with Middle Eastern Christians against the Moslems.Europe lost the wars of the Crusades. But the Crusades had brought the Europeans back into contact with the superior ancient Greek and Roman cultures, and those cultures had been enriched by the Moslem's advance knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, geography and medicine.This renewed contact with all the knowledge marks the beginning of a period in Europe known as the Renaissance, which means "re-birth of learning." The lost works of ancient Greek and Roman writers were rediscovered in Europe, inspiring countless new works of literature, art and science. The Renaissance began in Italy, but eventually the new learning spread north, to France, Germany and England.Geoffrey Chaucer was born some hundred years after the last war of the Crusades, in the early part of the Renaissance. About one hundred fifty years after Chaucer's death William Shakespeare was born in the last part of the Renaissance. During the lifetimes of these two great writers and over all the years between, the English language was sorting itself out from the chaos of Middle English.By the time of Shakespeare's death in 1616, the English history and language had entered the modern period.The English of Shakespeare's time is considered modern English because, except for some different spellings and a few words we no longer use, the language is quite similar to the English we speak today. Many of the old sayings we use every day come right out of Shakespeare's writings. When we think something is unimportant we "laugh it off." Describing something which is strong and in good condition, we say it is "sound as a bell." When we are disgusted with something, we say it is "lousy." If you know or use these expressions you are quoting Shakespeare.After Shakespeare's time English was to change a great deal more, but the changes were gradual. The changes came as a result of the growth of the English Empire, advancements intransportation and communication and a continuing contact betweenEnglish-speaking peoplesand peoples from all parts of the world.Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries England built an empire which included north America, some Caribbean islands, Australia, New Zealand, parts of Asia and parts of Africa. About nine or ten years before Shakespeare's death, England had established her first American colony, Virginia. Three hundred years later, England no longer had an empire, but the lands which she had conquered still spoke the English language. Today, English is the native or official language of not only the United States but also Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Kenya, South Africa, Trinidad, Jamaica and more － lands on every continent of this planet.(1 816 words)。

These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy － ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness － that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and thought it might seem too good for human life, this is what － at last － I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why thestars shine...A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.(302 words)1.The passage, taken from Bertrand Russell’s (1872-1970) autobiography, is mainly about Russell’s ______ .( D )(a) longing for love(b) search for knowledge(c) unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind(d) three passions that governed his life2. In the first paragraph, Russell says that ________ .( B )(a) he longs for love and never despairs(b) he has pity for the suffering of mankind and often feels anguish(c) he has traveled over a great ocean for the three passions(d) the result of his search is despair3. In the second paragraph, Russell thinks that he has found in his search for love all the following EXCEPT ________. ( B )(a) great joy(b) loneliness(c) the vision of the heaven(d) relief from solitariness4. Regarding knowledge, Russell thinks that ________ . ( D )(a) he knows why the stars shine(b) he understands the hearts of men(c) he has a good knowledge of things(d) he has succeeded a bit but not much5. Whenever Russell thinks of the sufferings of mankind, he __________. ( C )(a) is mocked by human life(b) becomes lonely(c) suffers too(d) feels he goes upward toward theheavens TOPP assage TwoIt is almost a definition of a gentleman to say he is one who never inflicts pain. This description is both refined, and as far as it goes, accurate. He is mainly occupied in merely removing the obstacles which hinder the free and unembarrassed action of those about him, and he concurs with their movements rather than takes the initiative himself. The true gentleman carefully avoids whatever may cause a jar or a jolt in the minds of those with whom he is cast － all clashing of opinion, or collision of feeling, all restraint, or suspicion, or gloom, or resentment; his great concern being to make everyone at their ease and athome. He has his eyes on all his company, he is seldom prominent in conversation, and never wearisome. He makes light of favors while he does them, and seems to be receiving when he is conferring. He never speaks of himself except when compelled, never defends himself by a mere retort, he has no ears for slander or gossip, is scrupulous in imputing motives to those who interfere with him, and interprets everything for the best. He is never mean or little in his disputes, never takes unfair advantage, never mistakes personalities or sharp sayings for arguments, or insinuates evil which he dare not say out. He has too much good sense to be affronted at insults, he is too well employed to remember injuries, and too indolent to bear malice. He is patient, forbearing, and resigned, on philosophical principles; he submits to pain because it is inevitable, to bereavement because it is his destiny. He may be right or wrong in his opinion, but he is too clear-headed to be unjust; he is as simple as he is forcible, and as brief as he is decisive. Nowhere shall we find greater candor, consideration, indulgence; he throws himself into the minds of his opponents, he accounts for their mistakes. He knows the weakness of human reason as well as its strength, its province and its limits.(336 words)6. According to the writer of the passage, a gentleman _______. ( B )(a) feels it his responsibility to show what people should do(b) avoids clashes of opinions or feelings(c) studies carefully the obstacles in the way of free and unembarrassed people(d) always thinks of those about him7. The author thinks that when a gentleman talks with others, ______ . ( D )(a) he shows his skill at conversation(b) he likes to help others with his favors(c) he prefers receiving favors rather than offering them(d) he seldom speaks of himself8. A gentleman, as defined in the passage, ______ . ( B )(a) never takes advantage while disputing with others(b) never makes personal attacks(c) is interested in slander and gossip(d) interprets people’s action as they really are9. Faced with insults, injuries and malice, a gentleman will _______ . ( D )(a) feel angry(b) learn them by heart(c) keep him busy to forget them(d) pay little attention to them10. A good title for the passage is : ______ . ( B )(a) Is There Such a Gentleman?(b) The Definition of a Gentleman(c) What a Gentleman Will Do.(d) An IdealizedGentleman. TOPP assage ThreeMy favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasn't imposed either. He took Samuel Johnson's dictionary, Addison's essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight o'clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with irony and allusions and hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to be written in every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of jotted ideas, short story fragments, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other's journals. Mine was passed to Joe, the class clown, who saw it fit to quip at the end of it, “This writing isn't fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.” Our teacher laughed at that. Funny stuff.

Some of us speak these words rarely; others say them every day －silently or aloud. To hear the cry for help requires extra-sensitive perception. We can hear it only if we listen with the third ear, a trenchant phrase of Theodore Reik.For example, I often visited a Negro friend in a home for the elderly. The place was sterilized and the environment was sterile. My friend was old, dispirited, and he wanted to die. He often said, "I'm a lost ball in the tall weeds." He felt unfulfilled. He knew that if he had been white, he could have been a successful professional man. "I think about this every day of my life," he said. Who cared about this Negro workman who had helped erect many buildings in downtown Columbus? Hardly anyone.We have been remiss both in caring for and caring about the elderly. Perhaps they suggest too strongly our own morality, the guilt we may deservedly or undeservedly feel about our own aging parents. The Great Society needs a more creative approach to what are euphemistically called the golden years. The program of the First Community Village in Columbus, Ohio, and other similar centers may be a happy augury of things to come. Edna St. Vincent Millay once said, "O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!" To care for people is to wish to be close to them, in theirpresence, to penetrate the mask we all wear. It is interesting that our comments about communication with other people include such expressions as "We were very close," "I was deeply touched," "He was greatly affected." To care deeply for persons is to see them not as plumbers, scientists, clerks, lawyers, mathematicians, or as white, yellow, or black. It is to see them as unique individuals with all their idiosyncrasies, strengths, and weaknesses, their similarities and differences. Caring is color-blind, uncalculating.To care or not to care is a problem of communication. Sol, the instrument maker in Dombey and Son talked to his nephew about Mr. Dombey. The nephew said, "I thought he didn't seem to like me very much." "You mean, I suppose," Sol replied, "that you didn't seem to like him very much." When the mutuality of caring does not take place, we often put the burden of its absence on the other fellow. We may thus hide our true feelings.Indeed, the popularity of the mask as an art form in all cultures suggests that we have a public face and a private face. Interestingly enough, the word "personality" comes from persona, meaning "an actor's mask." We ask reporters who know public figures intimately, "What is he really like?" Many articles appear with the heading, "What is the real John Smith like?" Perhaps our wish to unmask others but to remain masked ourselves betrays a fear that our weaknesses will be discovered and disapproved. And conversely, the revelation of our hidden strengths may appear boastful. Sometimes, too, we do not want to disclose openly our unfriendly attitude because it is socially unacceptable. When we are rejected by someone, we tend to say, "I couldn't care less," meaning "I couldn't care more." Or we may not want to reveal even to ourselves that we care deeply about someone, for fear of rejection.The wounds of rejection go very deep. Shakespeare said, "He jests at scars that never felt a wound." But even those who have been deeply hurt do not automatically learn to care for others in the same predicament. For example, a North Carolina high school boy was doing badly in his classes, and felt that no one really cared. The director of audiovisual instruction asked the boy to help build a high school radio studio. He did this skillfully and joyously, and his whole attitude seemed to change. But one day he said to my friend, "You know, some day I want to be a teacher." When asked "Why?" he replied, "Because I want to make other kids suffer like I have suffered." His wounds were only partially healed. All caring has hazards and the outcomes are uncertain. To care for others and to let them care for us is a creative experiment in communication in which we may get hurt. But the price paid, the risk of being wounded,is the price of all communication. It is because we ourselves are hurt that we can understand the Oliver Wendell Holmes, "Aman must share the sorrows and joys of those around him under pain of not having lived."Some cannot exchange love because they are emotionally and psychologically barricaded against loving and being loved. Dostoevski has Father Zossima say, "Hell... is the suffering of being unable to love." This inability to care for others, to love and be loved, is a theme of many great books. Dombey, for example, could not communicate with his young daughter Florence. Of this, Charles Dickens writes:"There were some children staying in the house. Children who were as frank and happy with fathers and with mothers asthose rosy faces opposite their home. Children who had no restraint upon their love, and freely showed it. Florence sought to learn their secret; sought to find out what it was she had missed; what simple art they knew, and she knew not; how she could be taught by them to show her father that she loved him, and to win his love again."Florence could give love but her father was unable to receive it from her.How do we learn to care for others and to welcome their caring for us? How can we develop children who have "no restraint upon their love and freely show it?" The translation of a desired value into reality is not simple. T.S. Eliot has pointed out that Between the ideaAnd the reality...Between the motionAnd the actFalls the Shadow.How can we discipline ourselves to make the dream a reality?As teachers and parents we can talk less and listen more. We need more sensitive antennas. We are not picking up the faint signals of discouragement, concealed anger or fear of failure. The voice of despair may be weak and need amplification. And we must get these messages early, before they explode into violence and we shall be compelled to listen to angry shouting. It is not hard to care for people who are very much like ourselves. This is a form of self-admiration, narcissism. But it requires rigorous self-discipline to be concerned with, to care about those who are different. It is difficult to care for someone thousands of miles away, or for those at hand who do not act or dress conventionally － theso-called hippies, for example. We must ask, "What are they trying to say?" Are they asking, "Does anyone really care?"Is it possible that we are rejecting the ideas of young people in the guise of rejecting their style of dress?Remember, too, that conventional dress changes, as every woman knows. If we don't admire a person who iswearing a beard, long hair, and sandals, we must ask whether we would prefer to see Christ pictured with his shoes shined, his hair cut short, and clean-shaven. I have a friend who has a beard and who puts up his long hair like a woman. I might add that he is an Indian, a Sikh.We also have difficulty understanding people whose food habits are different than ours. However, the man who thinks it strange to eat raw fish as they do in Japan is fond of oysters on the half-shell. Some who think that bird's nest soup is "for the birds" enjoy eating the gelatin that comes from boiling the skins and bones of animals. And those cheeses that we like so well are made from milk that has stood long enough to putrefy. We do not use this word, however, but prefer nicer terms such as ferment, cure, or ripen.Caring develops best on a plane of quality, of mutuality. We unconsciously assume that our way of life is superior; that of other people's, inferior. I once heard a distinguished network broadcaster end an interview with some able foreign students by suggesting that on their return to their own countries they "spread the American way of life." How would he feel if, after visiting England, he was asked to spread the British way of life in the United States?We have expected gratitude from foreign countries for our gifts and loans. Look what we have done for them! But strong bonds of mutuality are not built in this way. Instead, they require that we care enough about people to do things with them rather than for them. Giving as unequals, we can easily develop an attitude of patronizing, immodestself-congratulation. We like to help the underdog, forgetting that this places us in the role of the overdog, the person who has the power to grant or to withhold favors.Are children grateful for what their parents do for them? They should be, considering how often they have heard about it. But caring and loving must not be evaluated too soon. Caring takes time. Love is patient. Caring must be learned. Children in the same family may differ markedly in their willingness and ability to share friendship and affection. Bonnie, at the age of three, already has a charm and grace in human relationships that her older brother still lacks. A seven-year-old boy announces that he will not give money to the Junior Community Chest. "There's something peculiar about it," he says. So his nine-year-old brother gives for both of them.No one expects to master the skills of tennis, basketball, or the dance by a few easy lessons. Hundreds, yes thousands, of hours of grueling, skillfully coached practice are necessary. Is it any different in matters of delicate human relationships? Caring requires the same disciplined practice.Are children and young people in school mastering the art of caring? Are the current heavy emphases on formal subject matter, on competition。

Why do many people use gobbledygook?答案It seems that the purpose of usinggobbledygook is to cheat people. Many people usegobbledygook because they want to appear moreimportant than they really are or because theydon't really want people to understand what theymean or what they are doing.2. Do you agree with Humpty Dumpty regarding the meaning of a word? Why or why not?答案 Well, I don't quite agree with him.This issue involves philosophical thinkingregarding the relationship between language andidea. If a word means whatever people choose itto mean, the meaning will vary from one person toanother, and people will not be able tocommunicate. On the other hand, people may use thesame word in different ways which lead todifferent meanings. No matter how different thesame word may mean, the meaning should bemeaningful so that others can understand it.3. What makes a master of language? Can you name some masters of language?答案"A master knows what words really mean, andwhere they come from; know when to use big,important ones and when to use the shorter,equally important ones". Brevity is the soul oflanguage. Shakespeare and Samuel Johnson areamong masters of language.PracticeAdd the missing words to the following headlines.1. Council leader raps school decision( The Council leader raps the school decision. )2. Bush, leaders meet in D.C.( Bush and the leaders meet in D.C. )3.

Regulators approve $72B drug merger( The regulators approve $72 billion drug merger. )6. Bad weather knocks retailer for loopP assage OneHave you ever heard "hit the nail on the head"? Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive home the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So it is with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective, will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose.The French have an apt phrase for this. They speak of "le mot juste", the word that is just right. Stories are told of scrupulous writers, like Flaubert, who spent days trying to get one or two sentences exactly right. Words are many and various; they are subtle and delicate in their different shades of meaning, and it is not easy to find the ones that express precisely what we want to say. It is not only a matter of having a good command of language and a fairly wide vocabulary; it is also necessary to think hard and to observe accurately. Choosing words is part of the process of realization, of defining our thoughts and feelings for ourselves, as well as for those who hear or read our words. Someone once remarked: "How can I know what I think till I see what I say?" This sounds stupid, but there is a great deal of truth in it.It is hard work choosing the right words, but we shall be rewarded by the satisfaction that finding them brings. The exact use of language gives us mastery over the material we are dealing with. Perhaps you have been asked "What sort of a man is so-and-so?" You begin: "Oh, I think he's quite a nice chap but he's rather..." and then you hesitate trying to find a word or phrase to express what it is about him that you don't like, thatconstitutes his limitation. When you find the right phrase you feel that your conception of the man is clearer and sharper.In certain primitive tribes it was thought dangerous to reveal your name to a stranger. It might give him power over you. Even in modern civilized society you find yourself at a slight social disadvantage if someone knows your name but you don't know his. Command of words is ultimately command over life and experience.(447 words)1. The author uses the idiom "hit the nail on the head" to demonstrate ______ .( D )(a) the skill of a carpenter(b) the importance of being skillful(c) how one's point can be driven home(d) the importance for a writer to choose the right word2. The word "scrupulous" in paragraph two means ________ . ( A )(a) minutely careful(b) highly skillful(c) very accomplished(d) carpenter-like3. To find an appropriate word for the specified purpose ________. ( D )(a) is a matter of command of the specific language only(b) is a matter of vocabulary(c) is to pick out a word with subtle meaning(d) involves telling people your thoughts and feelings4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? ( C )(a) Choosing a right word for the right situation is challenging and rewarding.(b) Choosing a right word means weighing among its many synonyms.(c) You need to have a clear idea of the thing you are describing to choose the right word.(d) The different shades of meaning are helpful to our expression of ideas.5. It can be inferred that the paragraph that follows the passage may possibly discuss ______ . ( B )(a) a carpenter's work(b) choice of words(c) modern civilized society(d) primitive tribes TOPP assage TwoEnglish has a wide vocabulary and it is a very flexible language. There are many different ways of making a statement. But words that are very similar in meaning have fine shades of difference and a student needs to be alive to these differences. By using his dictionary, and above all by reading, a student can increase his sensitivity to these shades of difference and improve his ability to express his own meanings exactly.Professor Raleigh once stated: "There are no synonyms, and the same statement can never be repeated in a changed form of words." This is perhaps too absolute, but it is not easy to disapprove. Even a slight alteration in the wording of a statement can subtly shift the meaning. The change in words is a change in style, and the effect on the reader is quite different. It is perhaps easier to be a good craftsman with wood and nails than a good craftsman with words, but all of us can increase our skill and sensitivity with a little effort and patience. In this way we shall not only improve our writing, but also our reading.Above all we should try to cultivate an interest in words. The study of words, of their origins and shifting meanings, can tell us a great deal about human life and thought. English offers a fascinating variety of words for many activities and interests.The foreign student of English may be discouraged and dismayed when he learns that there are over 400 000 words in the English language, without counting slang. But let him take courage. More than half of these words are dead. Even Shakespeare used a vocabulary of only some 20 000 words. The average Englishman today probably has a vocabulary range of from 12 000 to 13 000 words. It is good to make your vocabulary as complete as you can, but a great deal can be said and written with a vocabulary of no more than 10 000 words. The important thing is to have a good control and command over the words you do know. Better know two words exactly than three vaguely. A good carpenter is not distinguished by the number of his tools, but by the craftsmanship with which he uses them. So a good writer is not measured by the extent of his vocabulary, but by his skill in finding the word that will hit the nail cleanly on the head.(405 words)6. In this passage, the author tells us that reading can ______ . ( B )(a) increase the vocabulary enormously(b) make one become more aware of the subtle differences of synonyms(c) enable one to learn as many synonyms as possible(d) enable one to be flexible in expressions7. Professor Raleigh's statement "There are no synonyms..." ______ . ( A )(a) stresses the different shades of meanings(b) is too absolute and easy to disapprove(c) is what the author tries to disapprove(d) means that there is no such word "synonym"8. According to the author, an interest in words should be cultivated because _____. ( C )(a) it is more difficult to be expert at words than at nails(b) words are the most fascinating things to observe(c) words offer us a lot of information about human activities(d) words are the most important part of a language9. The author thinks that ______ . ( B )(a) Shakespeare had a very small vocabulary(b) Shakespeare used only a small portion of the English vocabulary(c) it's not necessary to enlarge your vocabulary(d) it's reasonable to feel discouraged at the large amount of vocabulary in English10. In the author's opinion, the most important thing is to ______ . ( D )(a) have a large vocabulary to write and speak with(b) have at least a vocabulary of 10 000(c) use the words you already know(d) know how to find the right word TOPP assage ThreeLanguage is often irrational even in the way it combines words into sentences － in its synthesis. If language were perfectly rational in this respect, we should be able to handle words like the nine digits in arithmetic, and combine them into sentences at pleasure by applying a few simple grammatical rules. In practice, however, we find that a great part of all languages consists of a limited number of natural sentences, only some of which admit of being formed a priori and freely modified by the substitution of the other words, as when from "have", "ink", "pen", we make up such sentences as "I have the ink"; "Who has the pen?" "Who has the ink?" "He has the ink," and so on.But just as we cannot go on speaking long without using irregular inflections, so also we cannot go on speaking naturally for any length of time without using irregular combinations of words － combinationswhich cannot be constructed a priori. The sentences which make up natural speech are of two kinds － general sentences, such as those which have just been given, and special sentences or idioms, such as "how do you do?" "never mind", which are really on a level with simple words, such as salutation, indifference, and like them, have to be learnt one by one, in the same way as the irregularities of the grammar. Many of them, indeed, have meanings inconsistent with those of the words of which they are made up. Thus "do by itself" never has the meaning it has in "how do you do?" and "help" in the idiomatic expression "I could not help being late" has the meaning "prevent" "avoid", which is the exact contrary of its ordinary meaning.Again, even in those cases in which the grammar and dictionary allow us to express an idea by various combinations of words, there is often only one of these combinations in actual use. Those who have had to do Latin prose composition know that the main difficulty of the art consists in having an instinctive knowledge of what combinations to avoid. French has a similar character. English and Greek are much freer in this respect, a fact which many foreigners find it difficult to realize. When they ask me such questions as "Can one speak of an 'elegant supper'?" "Can you say, 'He was bad last night'?" I always answer that English is a free language, and that there is nothing to prevent any one calling a supper "elegant" although I do not remember ever doing so myself. Nevertheless, English has its limitations as well as other languages. Foreigners' English often presents the curious spectacle of a language constructed on strict grammatical principles, but with hardly a single genuinely English sentence in it.(464 words)11. Language is irrational in that _______________ .( D )(a) we can combine words by using simple grammatical rules(b) words in a language are like the nine digits in arithmetic(c) the meaning of a sentence can be inferred from the meanings of the words in it(d) the meaning of a sentence does not always conform to the meaning of the words in it12. According to the author, ________. ( B )(a) all languages have a limited number of natural sentences(b) not all the sentences in a language can be modified by substituting different words(c) regular combinations of words should be avoided in our speech(d) we should construct a priori before we combine words into sentences13. Which of the following is true? ( B )(a) Grammatically correct sentences are definitely correct.(b) Grammatically correct sentences are not necessarily used in practice.(c) A sentence based on grammar should be idiomatic.(d) A sentence in practical use must be rational.14. The author thinks it ______ to call a supper "elegant". ( A )(a) not idiomatic(b) impossible(c) wise(d) good English15. The main idea of the passage is that ____________. ( A )(a) we cannot speak by strict grammatical rules(b) no rule but has exceptions(c) there are two kinds of sentences in a language(d) language has strict grammatical rules to follow TOPText2ExercisesA History of EnglishThe English language we speak today went through three stages called Old English, Middle English and Modern English. But ages before even Old English came into being, many other languages had to arise and develop. The oldest of these, as far as we know, was the Indo-European family of languages, which were beginning to be spoken clear back during the Stone Age. During the Stone Age, some Indo-European people lived on the islands of Britain.The earliest known of these British Indo-Europeans split into two groups called the Scots and the Celts. There was another group, who were not Indo-European, called Picts. Together these three peoples are known as Britons. The Britons were a fierce, Stone Age people constantly making war on each other. They dressed in animal skins, lived in caves or rude wooden huts. These people had their own languages.At the same time that the Stone Age Britons were living their warlike life, the Greeks, far to the east of them, were building a great civilization in Europe. Many of our ideas of art, literature, science, philosophy and government today come from the genius of these ancient people. As the Greek civilization reached a high point, another great civilization was being built in Italy by the Romans, whose language was Latin. When the Romans conquered Greece and made it part of their empire, they found a culture much older and far superior to their own. So they borrowed it.After conquering all of Europe, Rome invaded Britain and made it part of the empire, in AD 43. Romans brought their advanced culture to the Britons. Not only did they bring their art, literature, law and the Latin language, they established schools, built buildings and roads and provided an army to protect themselves against invaders.Meanwhile, the Germanic peoples of northern Europe, known as "Norsemen" or "Northmen," were developing another, separate European culture. Some groups of Norsemen came to be known as Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Goths. They were warriors, but also sailors and traders. In very early times the Angles and Saxons began to trade with the Celts in England. This was probably the first time the Britons came into contact with other peoples.During the four hundred years Britain was part of the Roman Empire, Rome was getting weaker and weaker, and the Norsemen were getting stronger and stronger. Finally they thundered through the Roman defenses along the northern boundaries of the empire. In addition to the attack from the north, Rome was invaded from the east by Mongols, from the south by the Moslems.Being attacked on all sides, Rome had to call back her armies to protect what was left of the empire. By AD 409, Rome had lost all control of Britain.As soon as the Roman armies pulled out of Britain, the Picts and Scots began to destroy the Celts. The Celts turned for help to the Angles and Saxons across the sea in Sweden and Denmark. The latter were quick to respond, because they loved war. They saved the Celts; they also destroyed practically all the culture which had been brought by the Romans: literature, sculpture, schools and roads. The Germanic languages of the Angles and Saxons combined to become Anglo-Saxon. Since the Angles and Saxons had become the power in England, the Anglo-Saxon language became the very early beginning of English.While the Anglo-Saxons were establishing their power in England and making their language the main language of that country, the Roman Empire was sinking deeper and deeper into trouble. By AD 476 the western empire had ceased to exist. And since the Germanic peoples had no interest in preserving Roman culture, it just died. The Church was all that was left of Roman civilization. But Latin survived as the language of churchmen and the wealthy, educated classes, and was to have a profound effect on the development of the languages of southern Europe and England.Gradually, between the sixth and eleventh centuries, the feudal estates of Europe grew into powerful kingdoms. Of these, the French kingdom of Normandy became very important to the development of English.The various peoples in England were coming together as a nation also, under the rule of more powerful kings such as Alfred the Great, who ruled between 871 and 899. Alfred was not only an efficient ruler and a great defender of his people, he was also an eager scholar. He was able to preserve some of the learning which had been left behind when the Romans left England. In Anglo-Saxon he began a detailed diary of events in his own time known as The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Although Alfred encouraged reading and writing in Anglo-Saxon as well as in Latin, most works continued to be written in Latin.Alfred's efforts to unify England and establish a national language apart from Latin were interrupted by an invasion of yet another group of Norsemen, the Vikings. The Vikings who invaded England were called Danes, and those who invaded France were known as the Normans.Gradually, as all invaders do eventually, the Danes settled down and became peaceful farmers. Their language mixed with Anglo-Saxon and became what we know as Old English. Old English was established as the language of the land by the tenth century. For the next hundred years or so after the Danish invasions, the English people lived in peace. If they had continued that way the English language today might be quite different from what it is; it would be something similar to Dutch, Danish and German. But about nine hundred years ago, England was invaded again, and another,very different language was brought to the country. When this language arrived, English moved away from Danish and Anglo-Saxon and passed from Old English into Middle English.The new foreign language which was to have such an important influence on the development of Middle English was French. In 1066, the Norman French people invaded England. The invasion is known as the Norman Conquest, and it is very important for two reasons. First, it was the last time England was ever to be invaded. Second, Old French became as important an influence as Danish and Anglo-Saxon to the development of English as it is today.The Normans brought their law, customs and literature to England. Since there was still so much Latin in their own language, Latin again began to have an influence on English. But this time, the English people did not allow their language to be swallowed up by a foreign language in the way their Celtic and early Anglo-Saxon ancestors had. Although the invading Norman French became the rulers of the land, and French became the language of government and law in England, the English people stubbornly refused to give up their own language. English remained the spoken language of the people. And when they did accept French words, they mispronounced them so badly that no one could recognize them as French.So, for a time, England was a land where there were two languages － the French of the ruling class, and the Anglo-Saxon, or Old English, of the servant class, the English people. Smart people of both classes learned both languages, and eventually the two languages came together to form what we know today as Middle English. Middle English was neither French nor Anglo-Saxon; it was a completely different language combined of both. The change from Old English to Middle English took place gradually over a period of about three hundred years.Middle English was a very disorganized language. But in Europe and in the Middle East, many changes were taking place which would have an important effect on the future of the English language. Let's look back for a moment to see what these changes were.As western Europe split into feudal estates the Moslems of the Middle East were pushing farther west and threatening the Christian rulers of the eastern empire. In 638 the Moslems had captured Jerusalem. European kings wanted it back, because they felt it belonged to Christians. They broke through the Moslem defenses and began a long series of wars called the Crusades.For two hundred years, from 1095 to 1291, European Christians joined forces with Middle Eastern Christians against the Moslems.Europe lost the wars of the Crusades. But the Crusades had brought the Europeans back into contact with the superior ancient Greek and Roman cultures, and those cultures had been enriched by the Moslem's advance knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, geography and medicine.This renewed contact with all the knowledge marks the beginning of a period in Europe known as the Renaissance, which means "re-birth of learning." The lost works of ancient Greek and Roman writers were rediscovered in Europe, inspiring countless new works of literature, art and science. The Renaissance began in Italy, but eventually the new learning spread north, to France, Germany and England.Geoffrey Chaucer was born some hundred years after the last war of the Crusades, in the early part of the Renaissance. About one hundred fifty years after Chaucer's death William Shakespeare was born in the last part of the Renaissance. During the lifetimes of these two great writers and over all the years between, the English language was sorting itself out from the chaos of Middle English.By the time of Shakespeare's death in 1616, the English history and language had entered the modern period.The English of Shakespeare's time is considered modern English because, except for some different spellings and a few words we no longer use, the language is quite similar to the English we speak today. Many of the old sayings we use every day come right out of Shakespeare's writings. When we think something is unimportant we "laugh it off." Describing something which is strong and in good condition, we say it is "sound as a bell." When we are disgusted with something, we say it is "lousy." If you know or use these expressions you are quoting Shakespeare.After Shakespeare's time English was to change a great deal more, but the changes were gradual. The changes came as a result of the growth of the English Empire, advancements intransportation and communication and a continuing contact betweenEnglish-speaking peoplesand peoples from all parts of the world.Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries England built an empire which included north America, some Caribbean islands, Australia, New Zealand, parts of Asia and parts of Africa. About nine or ten years before Shakespeare's death, England had established her first American colony, Virginia. Three hundred years later, England no longer had an empire, but the lands which she had conquered still spoke the English language. Today, English is the native or official language of not only the United States but also Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Kenya, South Africa, Trinidad, Jamaica and more － lands on every continent of this planet.(1 816 words)。
