1500 years ago in england. three groups of people came to the country. they were the angles, the saxons, and the jutes. these three groups brought their languages with them to england. after some time, the three languages became one new languageenglish. the name english comes from the angles. they lived in most of england. england means angle land or country of the angles. the language that we speak todaymodern englishis not the same as the english that people used 1500 years ago, including old english（before ll50）and middle english（up till 1500）. that languageold englishsounds different, and it has some different rules of grammar. there were only a few thousand words in old english. but modern english does come from old english, and it is still like it in many important ways.31how

number 16. but by the time the number 16 bus reaches souk road it is always full, so i cant get on it. i have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.the timetable says that there are buses from souk road to the airport every ten minutes. if this is so, why do i have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?the regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when i am standing at the bus stop?the regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. yesterday i was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. i counted the other passengers as they got off. there were 129 of them.it is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. can nothing be done to make your service better? yours, tired passenger34. the writer has to take bus no. 49 because_.a. it arrives on time b. it is not always fullc. it travels faster d. it has fewer seats on it35. the regulations say that each bus may carry _ passengers at most.a. 20 b. 40 c. 60

passage?a. its a letter of thanks b. its a letter of apology(道歉)c. its a letter of introduction d. its a letter of complaintcthen comes the july, and with it are examinations; but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. boys and girls have nearly two months holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.the summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. the weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of ones time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. even if one lives in a big town，one can usually go to the park to play.the best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.in england, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to southern of margate, black-pool or clapton, he is usually quite able to do so.now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? i think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under ones feet, of salt water on ones skin. and of the warm sun on ones skin, and of the warm sun on ones back that make the seaside what it is.38. summer holidays start _. a. with july b. as soon as the examinations are over c. in mid-june d. in august39. after the examinations, all the pupils leave for home _. a. by train only b. by car c. by bike d. by either train or car40. the summer holidays last _. a. as long as two months b. more than two months c. one and a half months d. a little less than two months41. children like
