Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world
every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often 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?
About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big
city in Germany called Hamburger. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food.
When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it
was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered. “We came from
Hamburger.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some
round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburger ate. Then he put each between
two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “ hamburgers”.
Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.
Whether this story is true or not, it is certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a
certain meaning is interesting, too. The reason, for most English words, can be found in any
large English dictionary.

A. as old as Chinese B. older than German
C. not so old as Chinese D. very difficult to learn

Millions of people all over the world use the word“OK”. In fact, some people say the
word“OK”means all right or acceptable; it expresses agreement or approval.
11. Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw.
The Choctaw word “oken”means the same as the American word“okay”. Experts say early
explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the 19th century.
But many people doubt this. Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the
word“OK”in reports published in the 1960s. He said the word began being used in the
1830s.12. Some foreign-born people wrote“all correct”as“o-l-l k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the
letters OK. Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long
ago. They said he put the first letters of his names—O and K—on each object people gave
him to send on the train.
13. The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840. They called their
group the OK Club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin Van
Buren was born-Old Kinderhook, New York.
Then there is the expression A-OK. It is a space-age expression. It was used in 1961 during
the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard. He was the first American to be launched into space. His
flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. Shepard reported,
“Everything is A-OK.”14. One story says it was first used during the early days of the
telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received.
There are also funny ways to say okay. 15. These expressions were first used in the 1930s.
Today, a character on the American television series, “The Simpsons”, says it another way.
He says okely-dokely.
A. Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke.
B. Still others say a political organization invented the word.
C. Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on.
D. But many experts don't agree on what the expression means.
E. Language experts do not agree about where the word came from.
F. It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the words“all correct”.
G. However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age.

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we

no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn't 21 . Somebody had
thought 22 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to

children as I could possibly reach.
So I 26 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We
gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped
colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 27 with a child's name.
We wanted all of them to know they were. 28 . Before I called out their names and
handed them their gifts, I 29 them that they couldn't open their presents 30 every
child had come forward. Finally the 31 they had been waiting for came as I called out,
"One, two, three. Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces
beamed and their bright smiles 32 up the room. The 33 in the room was obvious,
and 34 wasn't just about toys. It was a feeling — the feeling I knew 35 that
Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought
of me. I matter.

Keeping a diary in English is one of the best _36_(way) to improve our English writing ability.
Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes_ 37 (little) time. It can help
us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice,
__38__(gradual) we’ll learn how to express __39___ (we) in English. In keeping a diary in
English, we certainly run up against many 40__ (difficult). In the first place, it often happens
that we have trouble__41 _(find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our
mind. And_ 42_ is very hard for us to put them into English __43__(proper). As far as I am
__44 _(concern), my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a
Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put
it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacher
__45_ help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for
the development of our writing skills.

The winter holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the
holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is
comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about
world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges that we
cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I
thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.
