The Roman Emperor Claudius II was fighting many wars. He wanted a strong army, but many men did not want to be soldiers. Claudius thought the men wanted to stay at home to be with their wives and children instead of leaving to fight wars. Claudius thought of an awful solution to his problem. He decided to cancel all marriages! No one in all of Rome could get married. Claudius thought that if the men couldn’t get married, the men would ignore the women and want to be soldiers. Valentine, who was a priest (牧师), believed that people needed to get married. He thought it was wrong for people to live together without being married. So he secretly and illegally married couples anyway. He performed the weddings in secret places, so the Roman soldiers would not find out. But they did find out. Valentine was arrested and brought before the Emperor. The Emperor thought Valentine was a well-spoken and wise young man, and encouraged him to stop being a Christian (基督徒) and become a loyal Roman.

If you ask people to name a person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare” “Samuel Johnson” and “Webster”, but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English—William the Conqueror. Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people in two main language groups. One was a Celtic language, the other was what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or old English), a Germanic language. If this had lasted, English today would be close to German. But this didn’t last. In 1066 the Normans led by William began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of farmers. As a result, English words of politics (政治) and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a difference between upper-class French and lower-class Old English in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked. This shows the fact that the lower-class farmers were doing farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating. When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more “foreign” than France because the German they see on signs and ads seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the results of one man’s ambition (野心). 1.Before 1066, the two main languages spoken in the place which we now call “Great Britain” were __________. A. Germanic and French B. Nordic and Germanic C. Celtic and Old English D. Old English and Germanic 2.According to the passage, which of the following groups of words are most probably from French? A. President, lawyer and beef. B. President, bread and water. C. Bread, field and sheep. D. Pig, cow and government. 3. Why do Americans find France less foreign than Germany? A. Many signs and ads are in English. B. They know little about the history of the English language. C. Many French words are similar to English ones. D. They know French better than German. 4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. The History of Great Britain. B. The Similarity (相似点) between English and French. C. The Rule of England by William the Conqueror. D. The French Influence on the English Language.

If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling (打口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help. Keep up the shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gun shots (枪声). When someone gives a signal, it is an answer to a call for help. If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house—cover up the holes with branches (树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little branch house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place. 1.If you get lost in the forest, you should__________. A. stay where you are and give a signal B. walk around the forest and shout so that your friends might hear you C. try to find your friends as soon as possible D. try to get out of the forest and shout for help 2. Which signal is a call for help? A. Shouting here and there. B. Crying twice. C. Shouting or whistling three times together. D. Whistling everywhere in the forest. 3.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. When you hear two shouts or whistles, you know that people will soon come to help you. B. When you can’t get help before night comes, put up a tent in the open air. C. If you need drinking water you can just walk away to look for a river. D.
