No human community has not worked out a language for itself Each language is based on the life of the people who invented it，so it is especially useful to them．For example，Eskimos use a large number of words for different kinds of snow．These would be useless to people living in a hot country．

Languages change all the time．Words that are no longer needed in everyday conversation drop out of use，though they can still be found in books and dictionaries．This is often because the word has been replaced(代替)by another simpler one that most people prefer．For example, 'car' is now used instead of 'automobile'．Words can change their meanings，or have new ones added to them．The development of computers has given new meanings to words like 'programme', 'disc' and 'mouse' and invented new words like 'byte'．

Often words borrowed from other languages are used to create new words．English contains many words that were originally French and were introduced into the language in 1066．'Court', 'beef' and 'vegetable' are a few examples．

At first sight，or at first hearing， ． But when you look more closely, or listen more carefully，it is possible to find links and similarities between some languages．For example，the word brother is like Bruder in German．Language experts have grouped together languages that seem to be connected into language families．

Generally, languages that belong(属于)to a particular family have similar sounding words which have the same meaning．English belongs to the same language family as French，German，Spanish，and many languages spoken in Europe and Asia．They belong to the Indo—European group and it is the largest language family．The Chinese language belongs to Sino—Tibetan group, while Japanese belongs to yet another family which includes Korean．

But differences in language can make a barrier(障碍)when countries meet to discuss world issues．To smooth away the barrier，the United Nations use Chinese，English，French，Russian and Spanish as a few official languages throughout their meetings．In some countries where many languages are spoken，there is an official language for formal(正式的)and business use．For instance，English is the official language in India．

Do you know anything about email?

Email is a kind of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication experts. "Email has helped the spread of careless writing habits,” says Baron, a professor at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure in emails show the growing unconcern about the way we write. Baron argues that we shouldn’t forgive and forget the poor writing in emails. “The more we use the email, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says.

Others say that though it has poor writing, email has done what several generations (代）of English teachers couldn’t do. It has made writing fashionable again.

“Email is a new communication technology,” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. “It fills the gap (缺口）between spoken language and the formal (正式的）methods of writing. It is the purest form of written speech.”

Lancashire says email can help people who are usually afraid of writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because email is close to speech. “It’s like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says.

Still, he accepts that this freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. The number of emails sent in a day almost is the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content (内容）of a typical email message is not often exact.

B. People should check the email many times before sending it.

C. More people don’t take the mistakes seriously when writing an email.

D. Email has become a normal way of writing.

2.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A. Email. B. The poor writing. C. The good writing. D. The communication technology.

3.Ian Lancashire thinks

A. email makes writing become popular again B. it is helpful for people to use email to express themselves

C. emails are easier to write than letters D. people should remember the mistakes in emails

4.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. People should stop using email to communicate. B. People have different opinions about email.

C. People should learn to write email correctly. D. People have realized the importance of good writing.

An octopus（章鱼） sticks to everything she meets． One day she saw an anchor at the end of the chain（链条） of a boat． She stuck to it． Soon she dropped into the deep ocean with the anchor． It was cold， dark and terrible down there． She was frightened and didn't know what to do． The octopus asked for help． Luckily a fish came and said to her， "To save yourself， you must first let go of （放开） the anchor． Then I can show you a way out．"
