him, and he picked it up just in time to rush off to his plane. But when he gave his
speech, it ran on for an hour, and the audience (听众) was getting very tired of it by the
end.
When the businessman got back to his office, he said to his secretary,“I told you it
should be a twenty-minute speech!”
“That's what I gave you,” she answered, “the original (原稿) and two copies.
The original for you to read at the meeting, and two copies for the files (存档), after you

Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the
world every day. English speakers are always creating (创造) new words, and we should
be able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you
ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not
made with ham (火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from
Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak
good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round
pieces of beef ( 牛 肉 ) , they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not
understand the question and answered. “ We came from Hamburg. ” One of these
Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef
like what the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put them between two pieces of bread and
started selling them. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.
Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word
has a certain meaning is interesting, too. The reason may be found in any large English
dictionary.

A.is as old as Chinese

English dictionary?

C.The reason why any word has a certain meaning.
D.The reason why English is spoken around the world.
60.According to the story, the word “hamburgers” comes from ______.
A.China because it has a long history
B.England because Germans don't speak good English

Dear Tom,
We have just moved into our new house here in the countryside, so I am writing to
ask you to come to my new house for the next weekend. I'll meet you at the railway
station at 9:15 if you come on the 7:15 train. And we'll go out and have a boat trip. We
may cook our meals ourselves on the river bank. It must be great fun. You'll never find
anything more exciting than a boat trip. Please let me know if you can come and spend
the weekend with me.
Best wishes.
Yours
