　　If you ask people to name one 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 with a man who didn't even speak English---William the Conqueror.

　　Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos-Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic Language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.

　　But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of polities and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction(区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the 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 advertisements 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 result of one man's ambition.

46.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were _____.

　　A. Welsh and Scottish　　　　　　　　　　B. Nordic and Germanic

　　C. Celtic and Old English　　　　　　　　D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic

　　47.Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?

　　A. president , lawyer, beef　　　　　　　 B. president , bread, water

　　C. bread , field, sheep　　　　　　　　　 D. folk , field, cow

48.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?

　　A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.

　　B. they know little of the history of the English language.

　　C. Many French words are similar to English ones.

　　D. They know French better than German.

49.What is the subject discussed in the text?

　　A. The history of Great Britain.  B. The similarity of Great Britain.

　　C. The rule of England by William the Conqueror. D. The French influences on the English language.

How to stop shopping? Sophie Kinsella, a best-selling writer, tells you how to keep your shopping desire under control.

1. For many women the desire to stop will never disappear. I' m not saying never buy anything ever, but make sure what you buy really benefits your life.

2. If you have been shopping crazily for ten years. It' s unrealistic to stop it completely, hut try to slow the pace. Go to the shops, walk around and enjoy the whole experience instead of buying an expensive purse.

3. Look at what you spend each month and make a budget (预算), or go out carrying really heavy bags, then you simply won't be able to carry anything else.

4. Be a wise shopper. Look in your closet and make a list of what you actually need. If you have five pairs of red shoes, do you need another pair? If you were wondering, the answer is "NO".

5. Shopping with friends is a good choice. Helping your friends find something nice can bring you the same excitement as shopping for yourself. It is also a way to improve friendship.

6. Rediscover your money boxes and enjoy the pleasure of saving up. I gave my friends money boxes with slogans(标语) such as "Shoe fund" and "Shipping fund" on them.

7. I do shop online, but I don' t think it could ever take the place of the real shopping. For me shopping is about the experience of stores and the touching of cloth, which you can' t do when clicking through web pages.

8. Before you buy anything, slow down, stop and think. Go and have a cup of coffee if necessary.

                         We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. but most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it? Or did he envy my luck?" "And was Paul friendly just because I had a car? " When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.

   But when we look back, it is too late.

   Why do we go wrong about our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog!"(你真幸运!) Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy!", that is being friendly. But "a lucky dog?" There is a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve your luck.

   "Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.

   How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.
