A language never stands still. It is always changing and developing. These changes are rapid in primitive societies, but slow in advanced ones, because the invention of printing and the spread of education have fixed a traditional usage. The only important change that English has undergone since the first of the 16th century is a large increase in its vocabulary. It is interesting to trace the different way in which new words are invented. Let us take just two English words and see how they were made sandwich and television.
Sandwich, which is now no longer an entirely English word, but also international, comes from the Earl of Sandwich (died in 1792), who invented the particular form of quick meal so that he could go on gambling all through the night without stopping for dinner. Many names of things are in fact taken from the name of the first inventors, for example, the electrical terms Watt and Volt.
Television is one of many new scientific words which are invented from old Greek and Latin words.“Tele”is Greek, meaning“far”, while“vision”comes from the Latin verb, meaning“to see”.
(1) “Stand”in the first sentence means__________.
[ ]
(2) What do you think Volt was? He was __________.

(3) The invention of sandwich has something to do with ___________.

B
The name “Television” comes from the Greek word “tele” meaning “far” and the Latin word “videre” meaning “to see” . Thus television means “seeing far” .
Television brings the world into our homes in sight and sound. Nowadays there are few families in big cities that don' t have TV sets. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago . John Baird, a British inventor, found a way to send pictures by wireless. This happened in the year 1925 and it was the beginning of television. It took another thirty years for television to be an industry.
During these years, many important uses have been found. For example, television makes it easy for a whole class to see everything a teacher shows. Any number of students may look through a microscope at the same time when television does the “looking” for them. It can also be used to watch process ([pr+uses]过程) in places where it would not be safe for a human being to be present.
