Every profession，every art，and every science has its technical vocabulary. Its function is partly to name things or processes which can not be described in ordinary English．Such special terms are necessary in technical discussion of any kind．Being universally understood by the specialists of the particular science or art，these terms have the exactness of a mathematical formula（公式）．Besides，they save time, for it is much more convenient to name a process than to describe it．
Different occupations，however，differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies．In trades and handicrafts，and other professions，like farming and fishery，that have occupied great numbers of men in the past，the technical vocabulary is very old．It consists largely of native words, or borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fibre of our language．As a consequence, though highly technical in many particulars，these vocabularies are more familiar in sound；and more generally understood，than most other technicalities．
Yet every profession still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain extremely unfamiliar, even to educated speech．And the amount has been much increased in the last fifty years．New terms are invented with the greatest freedom，and abandoned unconcernedly when they have served their turn．Most of the new inventions of words and expressions are restricted to special discussions, and seldom get into general conversation．
Yet no profession is，nowadays，as all professions once were，a closed association．Specialists in different fields share ideas and associate freely with each other. Furthermore, what is called “popular science” familiarizes everybody with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote lab, is at once reported in the newspaper, and everybody is soon talking about it—as in the case of the Roentgen rays and wordless telegraph. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.
67．Technical terms are created so .
A．specialists may communicate more easily
B．people may enjoy varieties of occupations
C．people may save time in everyday discussions
D．specialists may well accept mathematical formulas
68．The writer lists wireless telegraph as an example to show special words .
A．should represent popular science
B．may become part of common speech
C．should be restricted to scientific fields
D．may be considered great inventions of man
69．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Nonteehnical words may be replaced.
B．Media helps to popularize special terms.
C．Various professionals exchange their terms.
D．Educated people know most technical terms.

| My "Daddy on Campus" It was my first day of high school, and I was late. My next class, Spanish, scared me. I just could not speak that 1 . As the bell rang, I ran to the classroom. At the door, a hand reached out and 2 mine firmly. I looked up. A man with large glasses smiled. He 3 himself as Profe, which means teacher in Spanish. 4 , his warm smile and 5 words eased(减轻) my fears. That year, I 6 his classes a great deal because I learned 7 just Spanish. I admit I only speak a little Spanish. 8 I try to live out the life lessons I learned from Profe. Every day Profe stood 9 his classroom before and after class to give his"hand hug". After school his room was always filled with students and he would 10 to and chat with them---- 11 those not in his class. He taught me that every person is 12 your time. One time, I was rejected(排挤)by my friends, Profe told me,"Lindita, life gives you 13 . But learning its lessons will turn those ashes to jewels." Therefore, I learned to look at my troubles 14 and not to fear any difficulty. In my senior year, I 15 president of one of the school's clubs, so I was very 16 . Many times I didn't even have time to buy lunch. He served me by giving me his food as well as advice. He 17 out what he taught us to do: 18 others. The author William Arther Ward 19 : "The mediocre(平庸的) teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates(示范). The great teacher 20 ." Thank you Profe, for inspiring me. | ||||
