 English words don’t stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Some new words come into use, and some old 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 new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words can be created in other ways. For example, some can be created by adding two words together. “Weekend” and “cookbook” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of old 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.

 Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them .Take my family’s last vacation .It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta , the airline ,offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day .I had meeting in New York，So I had to get back . But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.

 The next day my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.

Yes, I encouraged一okay, ordered them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?

    Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is some-time thing few of us can afford to pass up.

 I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks .I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in. I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.

  Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world.

  I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it’ s not even really a campus. It’s more like a district in a small town.

  Harvard’s main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple.  You might even say they’re a little shabby(破旧的). They don’t fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a castle of Middle Ages. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast(对比)and brings a special atmosphere to the school.

  Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us, “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches(长凳) and have a very simple ceremony. ”Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn!

   I saw some students put a blanket（毯子）on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very calm.  There was no competitive feeling at all.

  Harvard has the world’s first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are among the best.  It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.

  I hope one day I’ll attend my dream school—Harvard.

A. the author’s campus life in Harvard   B. the author’s impression of Harvard

A. Harvard campus is actually a district of a big city.

   B. There are no competitions at all at Harvard.

D. All Harvard buildings date back to the 18th century.

34. According to the article, in which fields is Harvard top in the world?

A. Literature, arts, and law.             B. Religion, law and arts.

C. Literature, arts and computer science.  D. Religion, computer science and literature.

35. The underlined word “lawn” in Paragraph 4 means _______ .

   Building Trust in a Relationship Again

  Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences, 36 . Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

   Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims（受害者） of betrayal（背叛）. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to , misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore, 37.  It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.

   ● 38  Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.

   ●39  If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.

   You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.  40  Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

A. Learn to really trust yourself.

B. It is putting confidence in someone.

C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.

E. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.

F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.

G. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
