expression of surprise. "Don"t you know that all banks are closed today? It is Saturday."

into use, or older words are used in a new way.
English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word "tomato" was borrowed from
Mexico, and" tea" came from China, and so on. Now a great many of new space and science words are
being borrowed from other countries, too. New words can be formed in other ways. For example, some
can be formed by adding two words together. "Weekend" and "cookbook" are made up of two parts.
Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word"photo" was made from "photograph"
by cutting off the end of the longer word. "Plane" was made by cutting off the front part of "airplane". The
names of people and products can become new words. Our "sandwich" was named after a man named
Sandwich and "sello (透明胶带)" was a name given by the company that first made the product. | | 1. New English words are needed because _____. | | [ ] | A. people use old words in a new way

The chief (酋长) of Celt had a beautiful daughter, named Ellis, who was from childhood, fond of having honey.
When she grew up, lots of knights (骑士) and princes from neighboring countries came to propose marriage
to her. Ellis fell in love with a young master of a southem tribe who was among the proposers. They were soon
in love with each other. At last they decided to get married. On the wedding day Ellis entertained (款待) the
honored guests with honey wine made from the honey which had been presented by the young master. After
drinking the wine the guests sang high praise for it. They said the wine was as sweet as love. But there was too
