language changes with the development of society. So does English. English words change all the time. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use and older words are used in a new way. Here are some common ways.
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 new words are formed by joining two words together. “weekend” and “cookbook” are made up of two parts. A latest one “brunch” comes from breakfast and lunch. Do you have brunch every day? Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. For example, the word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” and “phone” were made by cutting off the front part of “aeroplane” and “telephone”. The names of people and products can also become new words. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich who invented it and “cello” was a name given by the company that first made the product.
Can you find more examples for each of these ways to make new words”

Michael Rossi is the Internet favorite Dad right now.
Mr. Rossi, a father from Philadelphia, recently took his kids, Jack and Victoria, to Boston for three days during the school term. But Rydal Elementary School, one of the oldest schools in Boston, doesn’t accept family holidays as an excuse for their absence and give them a warming notice. So Mr. Rossi wrote a letter to the school, which has been shared by thousands of parents online.
Dear Mrs. Marbyry,
While I am thankful for your concern for our children and the best education our kids receive from you, I can promise you they’ve learned as much in the three days we were in Boston as they would in a whole year in school.
Although they missed an important test, they learned about something more important for them, especially for their future.
They experienced first –hand the love and support form thousands of other people with a common goal. At the marathon(马拉松) , which is known as the most difficult one in the world, they watched runners with disabilities work together to collect money for children in poor areas.
In addition, our children walked the Freedom Trail, visited the site of the Boston Tea Party and the graves of several great pioneers of America. These are thing they WILL learn in school a year or more from now.
We truly love our school and teachers. But I wouldn’t hesitate (犹豫) to pull them out of school again for an experience like the one they had this time.
Thank you for your time.

According to a recent report, kids in primary school spend about six hours every week doing their homework.. So kids hate homework. However, their parents hate homework, too.
Is it good for kids to do homework? Of course, a great number of researches do show that kids can remember what they have learnt in class better by finishing their homework on time and homework itself plays an important role in developing their learning shills, such as independent thinking and creativity.
But for parents, the result is not the same. After a day of hard work, most of them feel like they’re going through school a second time when they sit down with their children each night to help with their homework. And a recent survey found that 46 percent of parents feel like they don’t spend enough quality time with their children, because they spend too much time doing the housework or helping with homework. And another 29 percent of parents have arguments with their kids often when they have different answers to the same question.
Now several education scientists strongly advise parents to stop helping. They say it will give their kids more independence and give parents back their free time. At the same time, the number of homework – connected arguments will be less at home. Katy Smith, an education scientist, says, “ You don’t have to know everything. Children need to put their hands up for help and so do parents. Use your resources – online teachers, or even your neighborhood – just ask.”How long do the kids spend doing homework?
| A．About six hours a day. |
| B．About six hours a week. |
| C．About six hours a month |
| D．About six hours a year |
What do we know from the researches mentioned in Paragraph 2 ?
| A．Homework improves learning skills. |
| B．Both parents and kids hate homework. |
| C．Kids love doing homework by themselves. |
| D．Parents enjoy sitting down helping their kids, most parents feel ___________. |
When they are helping their kids, most parents feel ___________ .
| A．they are at work again |
| B．they are school students again |
| C．they are teachers of their kids. |
| D．they are not as good as their kids. |
Why do some parents argue with their kids?
| A．Their kids don’t finish homework on time. |
| B．Their kids don’t like to do their homework. |
| C．Their kids don’t work out the correct answers. |
| D．Their kids don’t agree with them on the answers. |
What’s Katy Smith’s advice for the parents?
| A．Ask kids to finish everything at school. |
| B．Review everything they learn at school. |
| C．Look for professional help for their kids. |
| D．Leave the kids alone with their homework.. |
