　　How men fist leamed to invent words is unknown;in other words, the origin of langage is a mystery .All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other；and that later they agreed upon certain signs , called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or writen in letters， we call words.
　　The power of words, then, lies in their associations -the things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
　　Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary（文字的）style. Above all,the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music , and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately,or they will make our speech silly and rude.

1. The origin of language（）.

Ais a legend handed down from the past

Bis reflected in sounds and letters

Cdates back to the prehistoric period

Dis a problem not yet solved

2. One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions is that（）.

Athey could communicate with each other

Bthey could write them down

Cthey could agree upon certain signs

Dthey could combine them

3. What is true about words?

AThey are represented either by sounds or letters.

BThey can not be written down.

CThey are visual letters.

DThey are used to express feelings only.

4. The real power of words exists in their（）.

Abeauty

Brepresentative function

Caccuracy

Dcharm

　　We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”" When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?"When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.
　　Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog. " That's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn' t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog”puts you down a ittle. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.
　　“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for”is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It' s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
　　How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

　　It seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun!
　　Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, as early as the eleventh century B.C.
　　We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour and authority. In the Far East in ancient times the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office. ln Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.
　　During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in ltaly in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.
　　By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women' s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colours.

A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to find a broker (agents) to transact his business for him. In London, he usually went to a coffee house ,because brokers often gathered there. In 1773, the brokers of London formed a stock exchange.
　　In New York City, brokers met under an old button-wood tree on Wall Street. They organized the New York Stock Exchange in 1792. The American Stock Exchange, the second largest in the United States, was formerly called the Curb Exchange because of its origin on the streets of New York City.
　　A stock exchange is a market place where member brokers buy and sell stocks and bonds（债券）of American and foreign businesses on behalf of the public. A stock exchange provides a market place for stocks and bonds in the same way a board of trade does for commodities. the stockbrokers receive a small commission on each transaction they make.
　　The stockholder may sell his stock wherever he wants to unless the corporation has some special rule to prevent it. Prices of stock change according to general business conditions and the earnings and future prospects（前景）of the company. If the business is doing well, the stockholder may be able to sell stock for a profit. If it is not, he may have to take a loss.

　　The dog has always been considered man's best friend. Always noted for being particularly faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside. in the cow pasture, on the sheep range（放牧区）, and beside the hunter in forest. He is easy to train, works hard, and often performs astonishing feats.And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive powel before being lately dis-placed plane and helicopter.
　　Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death , the dog was once thought to have supernatural power and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghost invisible to men.Actually, the basis for these beliefs lies in the hound' s sensibility to people' s feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell，which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation.His record of saving lives is outstanding, for he often gives warning of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master.
　　The dog's major conribution , however, has been to medical research. Both his diet and his structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject of countless demonstra-tions and experiments.
