The British Potato Council wants the Oxford English Dictionary to replace the expression with the term couch slouch, with protests planned outside parliament in London and the offices of Oxford University Press. Kathryn Race, head of marketing at the Council, which represents some 4,000 growers and processors, said the group had complained in writing to the OED but had yet to receive a response. We are trying to get rid of the image that potatoes are bad for you, she said Monday. The potato has had its knocks in the past. Of course it is not the Oxford English Dictionarys fault but we want to use another term than “couch potato” because potatoes are naturally healthy.The OED says couch potato originated as American slang, meaning a person who spends leisure time passively or idly sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes.The Potato Council says its campaign has the backing of dieticians(饮食学家) who say the vegetable is low in fat and high in vitamin C. Supporting the campaign, celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson said the vegetable was one of Britains favorite foods. “Not only are they healthy, they are versatile(多样的), convenient and taste great too. Life without potato is like a sandwich without a filling,” he said.John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the dictionary first included the term “couch potato” in 1993 and said dictionaries just reflect the words that society uses. He said words were never taken out of the full-length dictionary, which includes some 650,000 words contained in 20 volumes. But little-used words can be removed from the smaller dictionaries to make way for newer ones. “If society stops using words, then they are taken out of the smaller dictionaries”, he added. “The first known recorded use of the expression “couch potato” was in a 1979 Log Angeles Times article,” Simpson said.Nigel Evans, a member of parliament for the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, has made a motion in support of the campaign, highlighting the nutritional value of the British potato.58. The British potato farmers went to demonstrate against OED because _. A. the phrase “couch potato” has largely damaged the benefits of planting potatoes B. OED board has had prejudice(偏见) in absorbing “couch potato” into its new versions of dictionary C. the phrase “couch potato” has hurt peoples feelings about potatoes D. the phrase “couch potato” has ruined the positive image of potatoes59. According to the British Potato Council, the OED _. A. has done something wrong to the British potato farmers B. should leave out from it the phrase “couch potato” C. should replace the phrase with “couch slouch” D . should make up for what it did to the farmers60. Antony Worrall Thompson supported the campaign started by the Potato council because _. A. he is a cook and potato is his favorite food B. the phrase doesnt match what people think of C. potatoes are of rich nutrients and good taste D. potatoes are a main source for making sandwich61. What can best describe the viewpoints held by John Simpson? A. OED will remove the phrase if it causes strong protests B. OED should collect all the words reflecting society uses C .If words are little used, they might be removed from OED D. The phrase might be removed from smaller dictionaries one dayC Rosemary sat at her kitchen table, working a crossword puzzle. Crosswords were nice; they filled the time, and kept the mind active. She needed just one word to complete this mornings puzzle; the clue was “a Swiss river,” and the first of its three letters was “A”. Unfortunately, Rosemary had no idea what the name of river was, and could not look it up. Her atlas was on her desk, and the desk was in the guest room, currently being occupied by her grandson Victor.Looking up over the tops of her glasses, Rosemary glanced at the kitchen clock: it was almost 10 a.m. Land sakes! Did the boy intend to sleep all day? She noticed the pain in her wrist again, and put down her pen. Anyhow, at 87 years of age, she was glad she could still write at all. She had decided long ago that growing old was like slowly turning to stone; you couldnt take anything for granted. She stood up slowly, painfully, and started walking to the guest room.The trip, though only a distance of about 25 feet, seemed to take a long while. Rosemary arrived at the door to the guest room. It stood slightly open, and she looked through the opening. Victor lay sleeping on his side, his arms bent, his expression slightly pained. Get up, lazy bones, she wanted to say. Even in childhood, Rosemary had never slept past 4 a.m.; there were too many chores to do. How different things were for Victors generation! Her youngest grandson behaved as if he had never done a chore in his life. Twenty-one years old, he had driven down to Florida to visit Rosemary in his shiny new car, a gift from his dear parents. Victor would finish college soon, and his future appeared bright if he ever got out of bed, that is.Something Victor had said last night over dinner had disturbed her. Now what was it? Oh yes; he had been talking about one of his college courses a “gut”，he had called it. When she had asked him to explain the word, Victor had said it was a course that you took simply because it was easy to pass. Rosemary, who had not even had a high school education, found the word unpleasant. If she had been allowed to continue her studies, she would never have taken a “gut” .The memory flooded back then, still painful as an open wound all these years later. It was the first day of high school. She had graduated from grammar school the previous year, but her father had forbidden her to go to high school that autumn, saying she was needed on the farm. After much tearful begging, she had gotten him to promise that next year, she could start high school. She had endured a whole year of chores instead of books, with animals and rough farmhands for company instead of people of her own age. Now, at last, the glorious day was at hand. She had put on her best dress (she owned two), her heart racing hopefully.But her father was waiting for her as she came downstairs.“Where do you think youre going?” he asked.“To high school, Papa.”“No youre not. Take that thing off and get back to work. ”“But Papa, you promised!”“Do as I say!” he thundered.There was no arguing with Papa when he spoke that way. Tearfully, she had to drag herself upstairs to change clothes. Rosemary still wondered what her life would have been like if her father had not been waiting at the bottom of the stairs that day, or if somehow she had found the strength to disobey him.Suddenly, Victor moved slightly, without waking, and whispered something unintelligible. Waken from her daydreaming, Rosemary stared at Victor. She wondered if he were having a nightmare.62. By sayi
