Language is always changing and developing. This isnJt a bad thing. If English hadnJt changed for a long time,we won ’t have words to describe telephones,washing machines,computers or some other new things.
Language changes for several reasons. First,it changes because the needs of its speaker change.
New technologies,new products,and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions,because they have different ages,jobs,education levels (水平) and so on.
How does language develop then? On the one hand,many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age,their language grows in grammar,words and expressions that are different from the older people's. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand,we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages,we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names.
Languages that don't change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.

People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells.

Have you ever wondered?
1. Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?
It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference iwS an atmospheric phenomenon (現(xiàn)象) known as the jet (噴射) stream. The jet stream is a very high altitude (髙度) wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the west-east direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.
2. What would happen if the gravity (地心引力) on Earth was suddenly turned off?
Suppose we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other structures (建筑物) float away? What happened would depend on how strongly the things were attached to the Earth. The Earth is moving at quite a speed,moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string (細繩) ,it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. “Switching off” gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling. Most things outside would fly off into space.
() 1. What information can we get from the first passage?
A. It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly.
B. Planes go slower when they are moving with the wind.
C. It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY.
D. The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic.
() 2. The word “shoot” underlined in the 2nd passage probably means “ ”.
A. send for B. move quickly C. come out D. grow quickly
() 3. It can be inferred that without gravity .
A. buildings and other structures would float away
B. trees and buildings would not so easily fly off
C. something around your head would not float away
D. everything outside buildings would fly off into space
() 4. Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage?
A. It takes seven hours to travel from London to New York.
B. The earth is moving at a high speed.
C. Everything on the earth will float away if there's no gravity.
D. Everything not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line.
() 5. Where can we most probably read this text?
A. In a research paper. B. In a short story.
C. In a travel magazine. D. In a student's book.
