A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends.

I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me.

(希伯来语)Back in Hebrew the roots of amen meant “to be firm.”So that a statement of amen was intended to add weight to what had already been said by agreeing with itmuch like today.The document in which amen is first found as an English word is a very important manuscript(手稿). Sometime around the year 700 a fellow named Eadfrith began to work on producing this book.He wrote it in Latin and decorated（装饰） it with pieces of art with vivid（生动活泼的） colors that still sparkle today.Later in about 970, a guy named Aldred felt that the messages contained in this valuable book were so important that they should be understandable by not only scholars of Latin, but also English speakers.And so, between the lines of Latin on the page are written an English translation. Instead of translating the Latin word amen into the English word truly, as can be seen in some other old documents, in this case the English translator borrowed the Latin word right into English and thus made it an English word.The Hebrew root of the word amen means “to be firm” but it also happens to be the root of the word mammon. Mammon in English holds a meaning of “wealth” or “possessions” but with a negative undertone(贬义).The Hebrew root of “firmness” expressed itself through mammon as something that could be believed in, something that held its worth.60.

Which of the following is true?A. The Hebrew root of the word amen means “wealth”B. The word mammom also means “to be firm”C. Mammom in English means “wealth”or “possessions”D. The word firmness has negative undertone63. The passage mainly want to tell us_.A. The history and the development of the word amenB. The history and development of EnglishC. The different meaning of the word amenD. The effects of Latin on EnglishCLove, success, happiness, family and freedomhow important are these values to you?
