A wise man was visiting the Ganges, a river which flows through northern India, to take a bath. He found a group of family members on the 16 ， shouting angrily at each other.He 17 his disciples (弟子), smiled and asked, “Why do people shout in 18 at each other？”The disciples 19 for a while and one of them said, “Because we 20 our calm, we shout.”“But, why should you shout 21 the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a(n) 22 manner，” asked the wise man. Some disciples gave some other answers, but none 23 the other disciples. Finally the wise man explained, “When two people are angry at each other, there is a distance between their 24 . To cover that distance they must shout to be able to 25 each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to 26 that great distance. What 27 when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very 28 . The distance between them is either nonexistent (不存在的) or very small.”
The wise man 29 ，“When they love each other even more, they do not 30 ， but only whisper and they get even closer to each other. Finally they 31 need not whisper. They only look at each other and that's 32 . That is how close two people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his disciples and said, “So when you 33 ， do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more. 34 there will come a day when the distance is so great that you'll not find the path to 35 . You may end up becoming enemies, for instance.”

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.

However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.

And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

1. According to the passage ______.

A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things

B. there should be egg in an eggplant

C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree

D. boxing rings should be round

2. Which of the following is the correct plural?

A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.

3. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?

A. A wise man and a wise guy. B. Overlook and oversee.

C. Quite a lot and quite a few. D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.

4. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.

A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish

5. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.

A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. dull
