阅读理解

　　The word“okay”is known and used by millions of people all over the world. Still, language experts have different ideas of where it came from.

　　Some say it came from the Indian people. When Europeans first came to America they heard hundreds of different Indian languages. Many were well developed. One tribe (部落) especially had a well-developed language. People in this tribe were farmers and fishermen. When there were problems, the leader of the tribe listened to different opinions and said“okeh”,meaning“It is so.”

　　The Indian languages have given many words to English . Twenty-four of the American states—almost half—have Indian names—Oklahoma and the Dakotas, to name a few. And the names of many rivets, mountains, cities and towns are Indian.

　　However, there are many who don't agree that“okay” came from the Indians. Some say the president Andrew Jackson first used the word “Okay”.Others say the word came from John Jacob, a businessman of the late 1700s who became one of the world's richest men. Still others say a poor railroad clerk made up this word. His name was Obadiah Kelly and he signed O. K on each package(包裹) people gave him to ship by train.

　　So it goes, each story sounds reasonable and official. But perhaps the most believable explanation is that the word“okay”was invented by a political organization in the 1800s.

　　Martin Van Buren was running for president (竞选). A group of people set up an organization to support him. They called their political organization the“Okay Club”. The letters“O”and“K”were taken from the name of Van Buren's hometown, the place where he was born, old Kinderhook, New York.

　　There is one thing about“okay”that the experts do agree on: that the word is pure American and rather use“agree, approve, confirm”and so on.
