___小题1:___ .Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw. The Choctaw word “oken” means the same as the American word “okay”. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the 19th 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. __小题2:___.Some foreign –born people wrote “all correct” as “o-l-l k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters O.K. Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They said he put the first letters of his names--- O and K --- on each object people gave him to send on the train.
__小题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 Van Buren was born--- Old Kinderhook, New York.

His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.”__小题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. __小题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-dokely.
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. |

举一反三
Last night, I have a strange but interesting dream. On the way back home. I came across child from another planet. His clothes seemed to be shining and looked beautifully. As I got close to him, he looked frightening and turned his back to me. Though I couldn’t speak his language, I used hand gestures to talk about him. A while later, he told me lots of amazing thing on his planet, which made me laughing, but suddenly, he began to cry, and then he explained he had lost his way but couldn’t find his home. Seeing that, I was offered to help him. His home had a telephone number like ours, so I asked him to call his parents using my phone. Soon before making the call he disappeared.

As we all known, the disabled are also important members of our society. Unfortunate, they can not do everything like another healthy people because of their disabilities. We need help from others. As a healthy people, we should show them our sympathy (同情)and help them. We should not make funny of them or ignore them. Just accept them for who they were, and help them adjust to the surrounding. When they fail, we can help them in many way, like saying “never mind” to them, giving them encouragement, or help them face the next challenge. In my view, helping the disabled is the duty of everyone rather than only the government.

某网站推出“Who is my angel ?”栏目,以下是有关该栏目中奖者的来信:
A.From Morgan Dunnivan Hi, I’m 7 years old and my special angel is my mommy. She takes care of me and our house, works with troublesome teens as a volunteer, takes me to gymnastics every week, and works two jobs. My mommy is my best friend and we are angels for each other. She always thinks of others first. I think she should be the Angel among Us winner. Please pick my mommy. It would be a great Christmas gift for her since I can’t buy her a present. |
B.From Michael Allen, Greer Uniontown Whether I am having a good day or in more cases a really bad day, she never seems to fail me, no matter what the circumstances are. Moreover, she’s by far one of my biggest fans. Mom is a really good-hearted person with a beautiful spirit that always shines through even during my darkest days. She definitely earns her angel wings. |
C.From Brianna Callahan, Smock My special angel is my mother. She is there whenever I need her. In my opinion, she deserves the gift. This gift would surely brighten up her day. She is the one who I can count on to help me or have a hot meal ready for dinner. Moms do that but no one really appreciates them as much as they should be. I just want to make her feel special. There may be a lot of special angels out there, but I think my mom is the only special angel in my heart. |
D.From Renee Wheeler, Smithfield |
E. From Nicole Baughman, Smock
My special angel is my daddy. He is always there for me. He is a very hard-working man. And I’m proud of him to be my daddy. He loves me very much. He’s the one who gives us our allowance. He puts food on the table. He is the best daddy in the world. I love him very much. He stands up for us and he cares for all of us. He picks me up because I am still really too short to pick something up.
F. From Sharon Williams, Uniontown
I met my special angel 32 years ago starting my first job. She trained me as a friend. She introduced me to one of her sons to whom I’ve been married for 20 years. She lovingly raised seven children, and after retiring helped to raise a grandchild who is now in college. Living next door she was always there to help with our two sons, babysitting, fixing them snacks, or teaching them how to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
