阅读理解。     Some names have special meanings in popular American expressions. One day, an average Joe was
walking down the street. An average Joe is a common person-either male or female. He was lost. He did
not know where he was going. So average Joe asked John Q. Public for directions to the nearest bank.
John Q. Public is also a common person-male or female. "Jeez Louise," said John Q., Public. This is an
expression of surprise. "Don"t you know that all banks are closed today? It is Saturday."
     "For Pete"s sake," said average Joe. This is also an expression used to show a feeling like surprise or
disappointment. "I do not believe you," said he. At that moment, Joe Blow was walking down the street
with a woman. Joe Blow is also an expression for a common person. Now this Joe Blow was not walking
next to a plain Jane. A plain Jane is a woman who is neither ugly nor pretty. The woman with Joe Blow
was a real Sheila-a beautiful woman.
     Average Joe asked the woman if all banks were closed on Saturday. "No way, Jose," she answered.
This is a way of saying "no." "Many banks are open on Saturdays."
     Average Joe did not know either of these two people from Adam. That is, he did not know them at all.
But he followed their directions to the nearest bank.
     When he arrived, he walked to the desk and said:"I am here to withdraw some money so I can pay my
taxes to Uncle Sam". This represents the United States government. The banker produced some papers
and told him to sign his John Hancock at the bottom. A John Hancock is a person"s signed name-a signature
Historically, John Hancock was one of the signers of the United States Declaration of Independence. Hancock
had a beautiful signature and signed his name larger than all the others. 1. The main idea of this text is that _____. [     ]

     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
B. people need a new way to explain
C. the world is changing and developing
D. new ideas and new inventions come about quickly
2. We know from the passage that _____.
[     ]
A. new science words are shorter than the old ones
B. the best way to make a new word is adding words together
C. some new English words are borrowed from other languages
D. most new English words are borrowed from other languages
3. How many ways of developing English words does the passage tell us?
[     ]
A. Three.
B. Four.
C. Five.
