Several days ago,,1 went to my aunt’s home and saw my cousin who is studying English linguistics in a university. He showed me his learning materials.H ere are two pages of t
Now I know at some point in history, the meanings of some common words that we see every day meant something much different. The English language is developing all the time.
Nice
Generally speaking, the word “nice” is quite an expression of praise. However, back in the late 12th century, if someone said you were “nice”, it was far from saying good words about you.
Very long ago, “nice” was used to mean “foolish” and “stupid”. That sounds more like the kind of words that would start a fight, not put a smile on someone’s face. Later on in the 13th century, ‘nice” came to mean “shy and nervous”. During the 14th century, it even meant “being careful”. But finally in the 18th century, it changed to the kinder meaning we know today, and ever since then, people have been using it in a lovable way.
Sad
All of us get sad from time to time. It’s a usual part of life. A loved one passes away. We expect too much progress in an exam. Or the store is out of our favourite drink. These are all things that can make us sad.
However, once upon a time, “sad” had a very different meaning. Back in the 14th century, it was the perfect word if you had eaten too much food at dinner.
Through the years, the meaning of “sad” changed to “heavy” and then “tired”. Interestingly, when “sad” took on its present meaning, it was actually used instead of “unrot”, an old English word that was the opposite of “rot” that meant “cheerful” or “glad”.
【1】When did "nice" come to mean "shy and nervous"?
A. In the late 12th century. B. In the 13th century.
C. During the 14th century. D. In the 18th century.
【2】The underlined word "these" refers to指代) the following except that________.
A. a loved one passes away
B. we expect too much progress in an exam
C. the store is out of our favourite drink
D. we have eaten too much food at dinner
【3】 The purpose of the passage is to tell us .
A. the meanings of all words are different at some point in history
B. my cousin learns English well because of his learning materials
C. we should know about all the different meanings of words in history
D. the meanings of some words are changing because language is developing

I was in line waiting to pay. A little boy in the front was buying some clothes. I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change (零钱). It seemed that he had broken his pig bank to do this shopping. However, the cashier (收银员) told him he was $ 8.00 short after counting his money.
It was clear that the boy had already used all the money. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that.” I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills (纸币). Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react (反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!”
I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this.”
The little boy smiled and thanked us. I left with a good feeling. I saw the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes!”

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s. The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach (菠菜) to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron (铁) than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid (叶酸).
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.
【1】A good title for this reading passage is________.
A.Popeye the Sailor B.The Truth About Spinach
C.A Mistake with Numbers D.Folic Acid Makes You Strong
【2】Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?
A.They thought spinach made them strong. B.They thought Popeye was funny.
C.Spinach had a lot of iron. D.People liked folic acid.
【3】A research group told people that spinach________.
A.made Popeye strong B.was a green vegetable
C.had less iron than other green vegetables D.had more iron than other green vegetables
【4】The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from ________.
A.iron B.folic acid C.spinach D.exercise
