Every profession or trade,every art,and every science has its technical vocabulary. Differ?ent occupations,however,differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts,and other vocations (职业) ,like farming and fishery,that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times,the technical vocabulary,is very old. It consists largely of native words,or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fiber (质地) of our language. Hence,though highly technical in many particulars,these vocabularies are more familiar in sound,and more generally understood,than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law,medicine,divinity (神学) ,and philosophy have also,in their older strata (层面) ,become pretty familiar to cultivated persons and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. Yet every vocation still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essen?tially foreign,even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years,particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the me?chanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greatest freedom and abandoned with indiffer?ence when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined (受限制在) to spe?cial discussions,and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays,as all professions once were,a close guild (行会) .

The lawyer,the physician,the man of science,the divine,associated freely with his fellowcreatures,and does not meet them in a merely professional way. Furthermore,what is called " popular science”makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment,though made in a remote or provincial laboratory,is at once reported in the newspapers,and everybody is soon talking about it as in the case of the Roentgen rays (伦琴射线) and wireless telegraphy. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace (寻常的事物) .

(   ) 5. What does the underlined phrase "educated speech" mean?

   A. 教育演讲'                        B. 教育报告

   C. 有教养的谈吐   D. 有教育意义的发言

   A. Topics for common speech often involve the latest new technical terms.

   B. People don't take up any new technical terms which are none of their business.

   C. The topics for common speech are always making something new.

   D. New technical terms can enter our common speech by way of making them sim?ple.

 Aftershock,a movie about the 1976 Tangshan earthquake,has grossed over 160 million yuan at the Chinese box office since its opening on July 22,the State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) said Monday.

  The movie earned more than 100 million yuan within three days of its release,breaking the Chinese box office record previously held by The Founding of a Republic.

  Also there was laughter during the movie's screening,especially when advertisements were inserted into the story line of the movie and given closeup shots.

  Fifteen minutes of the movie's total length of two and a half hours were for these advertise?ments,which have drawn criticism from the media as well as the public.

  In an interview with Xinhua on Monday,Zhang Hongsen,vice director of the SARFT film department said advertisements placed in movies were necessary for film makers to make profits,as piracy poses a threat to their revenues.
