uneasy feeling among many Japanese.
That product is foreign words.
Gairaigo-words that come from outside-have been part of the Japanese language for centuries. Mostly
borrowed from English and Chinese, these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native
speakers.
But in the last few years the trickle (涓涓细流) of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the
increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to
many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional (传统的) Japanese.
"The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new, says university lecturer
and writer Takashi Saito. "By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier
for the media (媒体) to pick up."
"Experts (专家) often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields.
Those terms are then included in government white papers," said Muturo Kai, president of the National
Language Research Institute. "Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general
public, when they should really be explained in Japanese."
Against the flow of new words, many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language. Saito"s
Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flying off booksellers shelves.
"We were expecting to sell the books to young people," said the writer. "but it turns out they are more
popular with the older generation, who seem uneasy about the future of Japanese."
B. Foreign words are best suited for announcements.
C. Foreign words make new subjects easier to understand.
D. The use of foreign words makes the media more popular.
B. are willing to learn about new things
C. trust the media
D. respect experts
B. Best-selling Japanese textbooks.
C. The interest of young Japanese.
D. Foreign products and experts.
B. is supported by the government
C. is questioned by the old generation
D. causes misunderstanding among the readers

is the kind of job many people look for, working with your brain and not your hands.
White has a clean and pure image.That is why doctors, dentists, and nurses usually wear white
uniforms. Babies are dressed in white at baptisms (洗礼) and brides wear white wedding gowns at
weddings.White in these cases is the symbol of innocence or purity.
Sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good. "Whitewash" is one such expression.At
first, "whitewash" meant to paint over something with white paint to make it look better. However, it
means something different today: to hide or to cover up mistakes or failures.
A "white elephant" is another example of white used in a negative way. In ancient Thailand, a white
elephant was regarded as a sacred animal, but it was very expensive to keep. The kings of those days
presented a white elephant to the people they wanted to ruin.Once they received this holy, royal animal
as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it.Today, a "white elephant" means something that is
big, useless, and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of their furniture or clothes, they
often have a "white elephant sale".

C. some interesting customs in English culture
D. some useful English words and expressions

business, and Westminster, the centre of the official offices. The City of London is in fact a small area and
only about 5,000 people live there but it is the centre of British business. The City of Westminster not only
has the Houses of Parliament (议院) but also the different official offices which control the country.
Other famous areas are the West End and the East End. The West End is the part that visitors usually
see because it has many famous shops, such as Selfridges and Simpsons, and many museums such as the
National Art Building and the Museum of Mankind. Most of the big London theatres and cinemas are also
in the West End. The East End has always been poor and not interesting but the home of the true Londoner,
the "Cockney". People say that a Cockney has to be born within the sound of Bow Bells: this means that he
could hear the sound of the bells in a church (教堂) in Bow, a place of the East End. The East End used to
have the docks (船坞) and some factories but now the docks and many of the factories have moved out of
London.
London is now a mixture of peoples who came from many countries but are now just Londoners. Many
people came from the old British colonies (殖民地). But there are also large groups of people from Poland,
from Italy, from France, and from many other countries. Now you can buy food from any country and hear
any language spoken in London. The only difficulty is finding a restaurant where you can eat English food.
B. the Londoner
C. a Londoner who was born in Bow and lives in the East End
D. the Londoner who likes cocks
B. is very poor
C. has docks
D. has theatres and museums
B. there are many Londoners who were not English before
C. English food has changed after long years of the mixture of people
D. the English food is too expensive to eat
or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. 2_____ One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine
Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks, monkey tails and salt were used as money
in parts of Africa.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the centre. 3_____.
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. 4_____ Sweden and Russia
used copper to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese
thought of a way to improve money. 5_____ The first paper money looked more like a note from one person
to another than the paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
B. But people used to use all kinds of things as money.
C. No one knows for certain when people began to use money.
D. People strung (串连) them together and carried them from place to place.
E. Money, as we know, is all made of paper.
F. They began to use paper money.
G. Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services.
what Oscar is to the movies. The name "Grammy" is short for "gramophone (machine for reproducing music
and speech recorded on flat discs)", since the awards are shaped like those old-fashioned gramophones.
Over the years Los Angeles and New York have played tug-of-war with the Grammy Awards show. What
about the result? The Grammy ceremony has been held 32 times in Los Angeles, 10 times in New York City,
and once in Nashville.
In 1999, the show returned to Los Angeles (at the Shrine, with host Kelsey Grammer) thanks in large part
to a much-publicized feud between the show"s organizers and New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. And the
Grammys didn"t return to the Big Apple while Giuliani was still in office, eventually moving to Los Angeles"s
Staples Center.
But with Giuliani finally gone from City Hall, the Grammys returned to New York in 2003, at Madison
Square Garden.
For 2004, the award show moved back to L.A., and has remained here. The 47th Annum Grammy Awards
show was held on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2005, at the Staples Center. The big winners for 2005 were the late Ray
Charles, U2, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Los Lonely Boys, Kanye West, Usher, John Mayer, Tim McGraw and
Maroon.
For 2007, the annum Grammy Awards was held at the Staples Center in downtown L.A. The organizers
have decided to move the show back to Sunday again. In 2006, the show was held on Wednesday, Feb. 8.
CBS had moved the show from its usual Sunday spot to avoid competing with coverage of the Winter
Olympics.
On Jan. 31, 2010, the Grammy Awards took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Jamie Foxx and
T-Pain hit the stage with Hip-Hop pioneer Doug E. Fresh and legendary Guns-N-Roses guitarist, Slash.
B. Madison Square Garden
C. New York
D. Los Angeles
B. in New York City in 1998
C. in L.A in 1998
D. in New York City in 1997
B. The origin of the Grammy Award
C. The city of L A and NY
D. New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani
B. Madison Square Garden is a place belonging to New York
C. Over the years only LA and NY held the Grammy Awards show
D. It"s been over fifty years since the first Grammy Awards was held
so many expressions that use the word "cold". For centuries, the body"s blood has been linked closely with
the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded.
Cold-blooded people act in a merciless way. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For
example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone,
not in self-defense. He seemed to kill with no emotion.
Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your
feet are really cold. But there is an expression-to get cold feet-that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.
The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be
president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the
organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to gel cold feet about being president when you
understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder. You "give someone the cold shoulder" when you refuse to speak to
them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning
your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend
who has not kept a promise: he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
"A cold fish" is not a fish. It if a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and show no
love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
"Out in the cold" is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got.
A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left out in the cold. And it is not a
pleasant place to be.
B. "cold" is a word closely linked with human emotions
C. many English expressions contain the word "cold"
D. the word "cold" has many different meanings in English
B. illegal
C. impolite
D. extreme
B. To get cold feet.
C. A cold fish.
D. A cold shoulder.
B. is punished by a cold fish
C. has got cold feet
D. is left out in the cold
