Millions of people all over the world use the word OK.In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world.OK means all right or acceptable.It expresses agreement or approval.
1. Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw(乔克托语).The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okay.Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century.
But many people doubt this.Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s.He said the word began being used in the 1830s.2. Some foreign-born people wrote “ all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters OK.Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago.They said he put the first letters of his name---O and K---on each object people gave him to send on the train.
3. The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840.They called their group the OK club.The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born---Old Kinderhook, New York.
Then there is the expression A-OK.It is a space-age expression.It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard.He was the first American to be launched into space.His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned.Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.” 4. One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received.
There are also funny ways to say okay.5. These expressions were first used in the 1930s.Today, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another way.
He says okely-doke.
A.Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke.
B.Still others say a political organization invented the word.
C.Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on.
D.But many experts don’t agree on what the expression means.
E.Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.
F.It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”.
G.However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age.

Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early.At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician, and so Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well.In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D.in mathematics.From then on, mathematic provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.
In 1930, Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there.His first book was published in 1932.In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others).

Neumann really was a legend(传奇) in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him.His driving ability is a part of this legend.He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road.The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour.Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Have you ever heard the saying “All roads lead to Rome”? At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier.
The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. There were all together 4 layers, which was made of different materials, such as sand, rocks, stones and so on.
Also, Roman roads were cambered(拱形). This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag (之字形的)pattern to make the road rise gradually.
All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousand paces (a Roman mile). The milestones told when the road was built, who was emperor at the time, the road’s destination, how far the traveler was from the destination, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.
Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire.
1.The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPT _____.
A. Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineers
B. Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique we don’t use today
C. Roman roads had milestones that were placed every Roman mile
D .Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire
2.What information can you find on the milestones?
A. The builders of the road.
B. The materials used in building roads.
C. The distance from one city.
D. The time spent in building roads.
3.The passage mainly ______.
A. explains the saying “All roads lead to Rome”
B. praises ancient Romans for their great achievements
C. shows how great the Roman Empire was
D. introduces the construction of the Roman roads
