Different people like different music. Some love classical music and others like pop music. Most young people like pop music.

Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 1960s.

“Yangzhou is wonderful! The teahouse is a popular place for local people to treat their important visitors…”This poem of the Qing Dynasty describes the comfortable life of living in Yangzhou. In Yangzhou, various snacks and refreshments(茶点) make each morning a pleasant one.

For many years, Yangzhou snacks and refreshments have been well known for their great variety with different fillings and elegant shape. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yangzhou city was praised as “a place whose pastry(糕点) shops were the finest under heaven”. Listening to A Hundred Tunes while Enjoying the View of Jiangnan talks of Huaiyang snacks, “Huaiyang snacks and refreshments are known for a perfect mixture of freshness and sweetness. Huaiyang snacks in Yangzhou won high praise from both at home and abroad.

Among the famous masters making Huaiyang snacks and desserts during the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the most celebrated was Beauty Shaw in Yizheng country.

Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.

Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) and so on.

How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining(组合) words and we make them out of proper names.

Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.

1.What does the writer think of the change and development of language? He thinks it is .

A. not a bad thing B. a terrible thing

C. a bad thing D. an uncomfortable thing

2.Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage?

Because their and education levels are different.

A. ages, jobs B. jobs, height

C. weight, ages D. weight, height

3.How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

4.Which of the following is NOT the way for young people to help develop language according to the passage?

A. They do it when they communicate with others of their own age.

B. They change words on their own.

C. They create them by making words shorter or combining words.
