【题目】

What do you say when you pick up the phone?

You say “hello”, of course.

What do you say when someone introduces a friend, a relative, anybody at all?

You say “hello”.

“Hello” has been for a long time considered to be the standard English language greeting since English people began greeting. But is that true?

It may be the most spoken word on the planet and the English word that most people learn first. The word is so familiar to us that it's surprising how new it is: “hello” has only been in use for about the last 200 years of the 1000-year history of English.

The Oxford English Dictionary says the first published use of “hello” goes back only to 1827. But it wasn't mainly a greeting back then. People in the 1830s said “hello” to attract attention (“Hello, what do you think you're doing?”), or to express surprise (“Hello, what do we have here?”).

But the true breakthrough for this now-common word was when it was used in the service of brand-new technology: the telephone. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it was Thomas Edison who put “hello” into common usage. He asked the people who used his phone to say “hello” when answering—which required people to address an unseen and unknown person. It was simpler and more efficient (高效的) than some other greetings used in the early days of the telephone, such as “Do I get you?” and “Are you there?” However, the actual inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, thought that the better word was “ahoy”, which turns out to be much longer—at least 100 years longer—than “hello”. It too, was a greeting from the Dutch (荷兰语) “hoi” meaning “hello.” For his entire life, Bell insisted on answering the phone with “Ahoy.”

“Hello” obviously caught on, and spread along with the telephone. Had it not been for Edison, our greetings might be very different today. It could be possible that we are still greeting people with “Ahoy” when picking up the phone.

【1】How long has “hello” been used in the 1000-year history of the English language?

【2】What was the purpose of people saying “hello” in the 1830s?

【3】Who put “hello” into common usage?

【4】What word did Bell prefer to use when answering the phone?

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

On April 2, we said goodbye to Tiangong I, China’s first space lab. According to the China Manned Space Agency (中国载人航天), Tiangong I re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) and some of its debris (碎片) fell into the South Pacific Ocean.

There are many spacecraft (宇宙飞船) that are still in orbit

(轨道) above the Earth. After finishing their trips, they will all re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere like Tiangong I.

There are two types of re-entries: controlled re-entry and uncontrolled re-entry.

Some satellites and manned spacecraft come back to the Earth in a controlled re-entry. Experts calculate (计算) the path of the falling spacecraft and its speed. Thy can guide the spacecraft to fall in a chosen area.

Some spacecraft may have problems while in space after a certain amount of time. These spacecraft come back in an uncontrolled re-entry. It is hard to tell when and where these spacecraft will fall until the last few hours. The US space station Skylab came back partially uncontrolled in 1979. Parts of the station fell in western Australia, but no one was hurt.

During re-entry, most of the spacecraft will burn up while passing through the Earth’s atmosphere. Only a small amount of the debris will reach the ground. The debris typically ends up falling into the ocean, China Daily reported.

Chinese Cuisine（烹饪） in the World
Emma Chen	She is a restaurant owner in Cape Town, South Africa. She has two restaurants-Red Chamber and Pron. Both of them are very popular with customers. She believes that food is not only a business, but also means passing down of culture and customs. Her cuisine comes from Shandong Province in Northern China.
Gianni Catani	As an Italian, he has become an expert in Chinese Hunan cuisine. It is very hard for a foreigner to enter the Chinese world at first. Luckily, he was finally accepted and welcomed by a Chinese master cook. So he spent eight years with him in learning the secrets of Hunan cuisine. Now his restaurant is one of the best places to eat Chinese food in Rome, Italy.
Eugene Moy	He owns a restaurant in San Gabriel Valley in America, which has become a foodie Mecca（美食圣地） for the world's top Chinese food. He believes Chinese food is the power to teach people Chinese culture. "Who knew where Chengdu or Chongqing was before? Going and checking out food is a lot of fun. It is also an activity of telling ourselves and the public about Chinese culture."
