Napoleon was(32)obsessed with extending the(33)of French influence, and he succeeded in engaging every major European country in the early 19th centurys Napoleonic Wars.During his life, and throughout history, there have been many conflicting reports of Napoleon and his actions. Some believe that he acted out of a heightened sense of(34)and love of France. Others argue that his leadership style and blind desire for power are nothing short of sheer(35). It is hard to argue with this, especially since Napoleon established himself as Emperor of a French(36).Napoleon presided over a(37)French empire, but his desire for more power ultimately met its fate when he chose to further extend his(38)influence into Russia. Despite a(39)of troops, support, and willpower, Napoleon ultimately failed in his attempt to conquer Russia. Finally, in a desire to restore peace to Europe, Napoleon was exiled to the island of Saint Helena, an island(40)in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Quite a lot, depending on the name. Many people spend substantial sums of money to have places named after themselves. University buildings, hospitals, and schools are good examples. It is a good way to gain lasting notoriety and recognition. However, these buildings do not last forever, and it is possible that someone may come along in the future, pay even more money, and demand that his or her name replace the existing one.There is, though, one way to gain immortality through your name: become part of the language. It must be said that this is far from easy. In fact, you may have little or no control over the process, it may happen long after your death, or it may occur because of less-than-flattering circumstances. Consider these examples: Shirley Temple, Charles Boycott, Jean Nicot, and the Earl of Sandwich. All are people whose names entered the English language to have a specific meaning that original stemmed from some aspects of their lives. These are known as eponyms. Having your name enter the language is a type of immortality that money simply cant buy.Shirley Temple was an American child actress during the 1930s who was renowned for her innocence and charm. Surprisingly, her name also became the name of a nonalcoholic cocktail drink. The exact origins remain disputed, but it is generally agreed that the drink was made for the actress (obviously nonalcoholic since she was only a child). Since then, the termShirley Templehas been applied to many different varieties of nonalcoholic drinks.In 1880, Charles Boycott was a British land agent in Ireland. A campaign began that sought to protect tenants rights and preserve reasonable rents. Boycott fought against this campaign, and he quickly became ostracized by his community. His neighbours refused to talk to him or do business with him. The issue soon took on national importance, and his name became a verb meaning to ostracize.Jean Nicot was a French diplomat during the 16th century. After visiting Portugal, he brought tobacco back to France and introduced the plant to the royal court. It quickly became very popular among the upper classes, and Nicot became intimately associated with it. His name became linked to the plant, and it soon became known as nicotine. Today,nicotinerefers to the active, addictive part of the tobacco plant and is found in all cigarettes.John Montagu was the 4th earl of Sandwich in 18th century England. He had a successful political career, but he is most remembered for being the namesake of the sandwicha food that is eaten around the world. Though he did not invent the sandwich, he was fond of eating meat between two slices of bread. Because of his respected position, other people began to eat the same thing, and the sandwich grew in popularity.All four of these people have attained some measure of immortality by having their names enter the language as verbs or nouns. Not all would be appreciative of the context in which they are remembered, but all are remembered nonetheless.41.The writer of this passage claims that names can enter a language _.A. after a persons deathB. because of a persons personal attributesC. because of a persons lifestyleD. if a person pays a lot of money42.Which of the following sentences conveys the main idea of this passage?A. Many people spend substantial sums of money to have places named after themselves.B. You may have little or no control over the process.
