One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the worlds books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary perhaps as many as two million words. However, lets face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which arent sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce, and hammers dont ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldnt the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. Thats why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.1. According to the passage _. A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round2.

Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are _.A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. dull(2)Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beriberi. He was going there to try and find a cure. At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beriberi. He raised some chickens. He didnt eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a persons food. Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they dont, they can also take vitamin pills.1.
