8．All through history，people from many different countries and cultures have lived together in Britain．The English language （61）consists （consist） of the grammar and vocabulary these people brought to Britain．That is （62）why English has so many difficult rules that confuse people．
The （63）development（develop） of English experienced three periods-Old English，Middle English （64）and Modern English．From the 5th to the 9th centuries，Britain was occupied by different groups from other countries，which led to Old English replacing Celtic．Old English，a mixture of different languages，differs （65）from today's English．Middle English is the name （66）given （give） to the English used from （67）approximately （approximate） the 12th to the 15th centuries．During this period，French，though it didn't replace English，still made many （68）contributions （contribution） to Middle English．This resulted in more words with similar meanings．The words for the meat of these animals which （69）was served （serve） to the Normans，came from Old French．Modern English appeared in the 16th century，which went through many changes during this period．The question of （70）whether English will keep on changing in the future is easy to answer．It is certain that this process will continue．

6．If you think English means endless new words，difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation，you are wrong．Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language？
According to a new study by a British university，learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power．Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter． This is the area of the brain which processes information．It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles（肌肉）．
The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language．A team led by Dr．Andrea Mechelli，from University College London，（UCL） took a group of Britons who only spoke English．They were compared with a group of"early bilinguals"，who had learnt a second language before the age of five，as well as a number of later learners．Scans showed that grey matter density（密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language．But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language，the smaller the difference．"Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，"said the scientists．
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn．Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales，has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills．"Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，"he said，"You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas．"
The findings had the same result in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34．Reading，writing and comprehension were all tested．The results showed that the younger they started to learn，the better．"Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world，"explained the scientists．

5．Life is difficult．
What do you think about life？Maybe most people say that life is difficult．But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it．Most people do not fully see this truth．Instead，they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy．It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon （强加于） them or their families，their class，or even their nation．
What makes life difficult is that the process （过程） of facing and solving problems is a painful one．Problems，depending on their nature，cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear．These are uncomfortable feelings，often as painful as any kind of physical pain．And since life causes an endless series of problems，life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy．
Yet，it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning．
Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure．When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit，we encourage the human ability to solve problems，just as in school we set problems for our children to solve．It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn．As Benjamin Franklin said，"Those things that hurt instruct．"It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems．
