莱西一中莱西一中 胡莉娜胡莉娜 The word Yankee is about 300 years old It was first used as a nickname for the colonist who settled in New England But where did the word come from What does it mean How did it get into the language There are 20 stories explaining where Yankee came from But the experts say only two of these stories are believable A number of people believe that it came from a Scottish word meaning sharp and clever Even today anyone who is a sharp trader is called a Yankee trader But most experts agree that Yankee came from Holland Many years ago the Hollanders who made cheese were called Jan Kees by the Germans Some of these Hollanders came to America in the early 1600s They settled near the New England colonists The Hollanders were great farmers They laughed at the colonist in the north who tried to build farms on the mountain rocks And so the Hollanders gave their own nickname to the New England colonists The British quickly picked up the nickname and the New England land became Yankees During the American Civil War Yankee took on a wider meaning The soldiers in the northern states were called Yankees by the men of the southern army During World War1 the world was shortened to Yank The song The Yanks Are Coming brought tears and joy to the peoples of the hard pressed Allied nations Today Yankee is known throughout the world another name of an American Yankee Doodle has become a well known American marching song 76 What does the word nickname mean which appears many times in the passage 77 What people are called Yankees now 78 What is the best title of the

the world is going to have a population of about 10billion Most scientists agree that the most severe problem is food supply Who is going to feed all those people Where is the food going to come from Are we going to have enough food Are we going to produce more artificial food One way of improving the situation is for people to eat less meat Why Because it takes 4kilos of grain protein to produce half a kilo of meat protein Clearly there is not going to be sufficient meat protein for 10 billion people Therefore it will also be necessary to change eating habits because meat is the main part of many people s food today A possible solution to this latter problem is the soybean The soybean plant produces beans which have a very high fat and protein content Scitentists can now make these look and taste like real meat They can also make many other artificial products such as soybean milk for example which has a taste of milk and can be used in cooking in very much the same ways as cow s milk In fact one woman in the United States fed her family only on soybeans for a year She gave them soybean beef soybean chicken and sometimes just soybeans Possibly we are all going to eat soybeans in the future and finally give up meat completely from our tables 76 What is the main subject of the passage 77 According to the passage why will meat completely disappear in the future 78 According

churchmen doctors city officials and asked them to support her ideas a special day of the year for thanking mothers In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother s Day into the state The date chosen was May 10 the second Sunday in May which is still observed in America today This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis s mother died In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother s Day throughout the United States Soon there was a Mother s Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world Anna Jarvis a sad and disillusioned woman died in 1948 The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose It had been taken
