When there is a new invention or discovery, a new word may be coined after the inventor or scientist.It is interesting to observe how many common words have found their way into the language from the names of people. Lord Sandwich who lived from 1718 1792 used to sit at the gambling (赌博|) table eating slices (片) of bread with meat in between. As the Lord was the only one among his friends who ate bread in that way, his friends began to call the bread "sandwich" for fun. Later on the word became part of the English language.The word "boycott" means to refuse to have anything to do with somebody or something. It comes from a man called Captain Boycott. He was a land agent (代理人)in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes for an English landowner in Ireland. His tenants decided not to speak to him at all. Eventually (终于)word got back to the landowner and the Captain was removed. The word "boycott" became popular and was used by everyone to mean the kind of treatment that was received by Captain Boycott.21. Lord Sandwich was fond of_.A. eating bread all the time B. sitting with his friendsC. playing games with words D. eating bread with meat22. The tenants did not like_.A. to collect rents and taxes B. the harsh land agentC. the English landowner D. to speak23.

The writer mainly tells us_.A. two interesting storiesB. how to use the two wordsC. Lord Sandwich and Captain BoycottD. something about the origin of wordsBSay No to Your Kids"It hurts me more than you. " and "This is for your own good. " These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we've made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students "so passive" and wonders what happened. Nothing, was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children's passivity (消极). "We're not training kids to work any more, "says Klompus." We're talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying ' go and look it up' ,you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid. "Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It's time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.25. To such children as described in the passage_.A. neither is easy to say yes or say noB. it is easier to say no than to say yesC. it is easier to say yes than noD. neither is difficult to say yes or say no26. We learn from the passage that the author's mother used to lay emphasis on (强调)_.A. natural development B. education at schoolC. learning Latin D. discipline (纪律)27. Children are becoming more inactive in study because_.A. they watch TV too muchB. they have to fulfill too many dutiesC. they have done too much homeworkD. teachers are too strict with them28. The main idea of the passage is that_.A. it's time to be more strict with our kidsB. parents should always set a good example to their kidsC. parents should leave their children aloneD. kids should have more activities at schoolCNow is the best time for Hong Kong shopping lovers, as most shops and markets are having their seasonal sales.

The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people _1_. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, 2 will tell you the potential (潜力)of the nation.If today in America, you ask the high school students 3 their heroes, their 4 would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars the people 5 with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent but one 6 if one should hold up rock stars as a 7 The rock stars are too often mixed with drug and their personal life is not all that 8 . The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should put more in a hero than 9 things as money and fine clothes.A 10 type of heroes for the American youth are the sports stars. Again you have a person who has a great talent in one area 11 . However, too often the personal like of the sports stars is 12 discovery. Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports stars.A third group of heroes are TV or movie stars. These people may have lots of 13 talent and are quite handsome. It is quite sad that they 14 be held up as a model for young people.Today, the rock stars, the sportsmen, and the actors 15 have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his 16 is a doctor, a teacher, or a scientist? These people are not 17 and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are 18 people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.What is really sad is that the young try to 19 their idols (偶像). They like to wear the same clothes as theirs.

Let's look at the following sentence: JOHN HENDERSON WAS DRIVING HOME LATE LAST NIGHT FROM AN EXHAUSTING BUSINESS TRIP. As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of a story.
