阅读理解。     English words don"t stay the same. People need new words for new inventions. Different words come
into use, or older words are used in a new way.
     English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word "tomato" was borrowed from
Mexico, and" tea" came from China, and so on. Now a great many of new space and science words are
being borrowed from other countries, too. New words can be formed in other ways. For example, some
can be formed by adding two words together. "Weekend" and "cookbook" are made up of two parts.
Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word"photo" was made from "photograph"
by cutting off the end of the longer word. "Plane" was made by cutting off the front part of "airplane". The
names of people and products can become new words. Our "sandwich" was named after a man named
Sandwich and "sello (透明胶带)" was a name given by the company that first made the product. 1. New English words are needed because _____. [     ]
A. people use old words in a new way

     People in the United States honour their parents with two special days: Mother"s Day, on the second
Sunday in May, and Father"s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and
respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love
and care to their children. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers
and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with childcare.
     These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother"s Day people wear carnations
(康乃馨). A red one symbolizes (象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many
people attend religious services to honour their parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead
visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have
outdoor barbecues (烤肉) for Father"s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
     Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own
presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important,
but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies,
and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
