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.1According to the writer, English is .Aas old as Chinese Bolder than GermanCnot so old as Chinese Dvery difficult to learn2According to the story, .AFew America like hambergers Bhamburgers are made with beefChamburgers are made with ham Dhamburgers were sold all over the world about a century ago3We know from the story the word hamburger comes from .AChina because it has a long history.BEngland because Germans do not speak good EnglishC.

They usually do the wrong things and say the wrong things. And even if what they say and do is OK, they say it or do it at the wrong time. So these people always have problems. They often break glasses. They sometimes miss buses or trains.Mr.Neff is different. He is always right. He is never wrong. He usually has good luck. He hardly has problems. He never misses buses and trains. Even though he really misses them, it is always the fault of the buses and the trains.Mr. Neff knows almost everything. He doesnt ask questions. He answers questions. He never says “I dont know”I dont know Mrs. Neff. It seems that not many people know her. I sometimes want to know about her. Is she always right? Or maybe she is always wrong?

Language experts, however, will tell you that youre never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset(思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like theyre doing something unusual or “too hard”.So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! Its never too late to learn a new language. If youre older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If youre a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!7By “language is their life”, the author means that children .Acan t live without languageBlead a happy life every dayCpractice a new language a lotDare taken good care of adults8What may make it hard for the old people to learn to a new language?AThey are afraid of being laughed atBThey usually have too many interestsCThey think making mistakes is naturalDThey always make all kinds of mistakes9Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language?AThe behaviors they haveBThe learning attitudesCThe future plans they have madeDThe materials they are using10According to the author, a new language .Acan never be learned by the old peopleBcan be grasped by the old people easilyCcan be understood only by the old peopleDcan be learned by both the old and the youngDWork and life are always full of stressHow do you usually deal with your stress？Have you ever thought of doing housework？Do you think doing housework is helpful in dealing with stress？According to some psychologists，doing housework like washing dirty clothes can really make people relaxDoing simple housework such as cleaning windows and ironing（熨）clothes is a good way to face our stress without taking any medicine，says Carol Clark，a successful psychologist in AmericaShe often advises people who are under lots of stress to try doing houseworkWhile washing something，she says，you can imagine youre washing away something that is troubling you in your lifeDo people all agree with her idea？Here are some different opinionsHousework is the reason for stress in my life，says Linda who works in a company in FranceAs a mother of three，I have too much houseworkGet me out of doing the housework and then Ill really be able to relaxGary is a single father of a seven-month-old babyHe is a doctor from Australiaso,a man pays a psychologist $200an hour for his problem about stress However，he is just told to go back home and do some housework.I really dont know who is crazier，the psychologist or the man! such as cleaning windows and ironing（熨）clothes is a good way to ，According to Carol Clark, what can people do to face our stress without taking any medicine?12.WhatdoesCarolClarkadvisepeopleunderstresstodo？ A.
