One interesting thing is that when we talk about meat at the table, we use French words. But when we talk
about animals, English words are used. For example, a pig is called pig when it"s living, but it"s called pork
when it is killed and its meat is brought to the table.
When the Normans (诺曼人) ruled (统治) England, the English farmers were made to raise animals for
food, but they could not eat the meat. The meat was sent to the Normans" tables. The farmers could only eat
rabbit, because rabbits ran all over the fields and rabbit meat was cheap. So the meat of a rabbit was not
changed into a French word. It was called rabbit by the English farmers at that time and is still called rabbit

Zhang Qian was an early traveler. He was probably the first man to bring back good information about the
central Asian lands to China.
In 138 BC, Han Wudi sent Zhang Qian to the Yue-chi people to ask for their help against the Xiongnu.
Unfortunately, on the way to West Regions, he was caught by the Xiongnu people. Zhang had to stay with them
for about 10 years before he got away. When Zhang at last reached the Yue-chi in Northern India, he was
disappointed to find that they didn"t want to fight against the Xiongnu people.
On his return journey (旅程), Zhang Qian and his men were again caught. It was not until 125 BC that they
returned to China. Although Zhang didn"t finish his job he learned a lot about the places, people, customs and

your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do?" for example. If you look up each word in the
dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation (翻译)? It must be a wrong sentence in your language.
Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It"s important to master
the rules of word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker put words in a wrong order, the listener
can"t understand the speaker"s meaning easily. Sometimes when order of words in an English sentence is
changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the
sentence doesn"t changed. Let"s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
"She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples."
"I have seen the film already." "I have already seen the film." When you are learning English, you must
do your best to get the spirit of the languages and use it as the English speaker does. | | 1. From the passage we know that _____ when we are learning English. | | [ ] | A. we should look up every word in the dictionary

D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different | | 4. The sentence "she only likes apples" . | | [ ] | A. is the same as "Only she likes apples"
