If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English lan?guage ,you will get answers like ^ilShakespeare" "Samuel Johnson" and "Webster", but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English―William the Conqueror.

Before 1066 ，in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region were the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, thought not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English) ，a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.

But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Sax?ons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction(区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked，which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing farming,while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.

When Americans visit Europe for the first time,they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.

Sometimes people come into your life and you come to realize that they were meant to be there，to serve some sort of purpose，teach you a lesson，or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your room?mate,neighbor, co-worker,long-lost friend, or even a complete stranger)，but when you lock eyes with them,you know in an instant that they will affect your life in some way.

And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first,but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would never have realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness，injury，love，brilliant achievements，and sheer(十足的）stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be,life would be like a smoothly paved(铺平的)，straight,flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and completely pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life，and the ups and downs you experience can be learned from. In fact,they are probably the most important ones. If someone hurts you,forgive them，for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being careful when you open your heart. If someone loves you,love them back,not only because they love you,but because in a way,they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

( ) 5. ________ may become the people who affect you a lot in your life.

A. A friend who lost touch with you for a long time

B. A passer-by who you don't know at all

C. A classmate who hurt you

D. All of the above

( ) 6. In the opinion of the writer,which of the following may be the meaningful life to a person?

A. A safe life without illness or injury.

C. A comfortable life without any obstacles.

D. A quiet life without anyone's interruption.

( ) 7. What does the underlined phrase "in reflection" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Thinking about something in return.

B. Looking forward.

C. Talking about something with your friends.

D. Finally finding an idea.

( ) 8. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?

A. The Story of Life

One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know,you would be submerged(淹没)in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.

The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again！Of course，we spent lots of time arranging the trip，but it was well worth it！Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa,but everything went quite smoothly in the end.

The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(领事馆)，one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in or?der to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a ho?tel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.

Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest，was a rare gift for the fresh air and absolute silence，beautiful views， hospitable(好客的)hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this,we were very lucky that our mistress was English. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.

Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It's not difficult！The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide?book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So,if you're also planning a "single" trip,don't forget to take an English-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue. ( ) 5.
