More people are trying to learn English than any other language in the world. 1 School children in the Philippines and Japan begin learning English at an early age.
Where did the English language come from? Why has it become so popular? To answer these questions we must travel back in time about five thousand years to an area north of the Black Sea in southeastern Europe.
Experts say the people in that area spoke a language called Proto-Indo-European. That language is no longer spoken. 2 These include the language that developed into English.
The English language is a result of the invasions of the island of Britain over many hundreds of years. The first invaders were a people called Angles about one thousand and five hundred years ago. Later the Saxons and the Jutes crossed to Britain. These groups fought with a people called the Celts. 3 Some escaped to live in the area that became Wales. Through the years,the Saxons,Angles and Jutes mixed their different languages. The result is what is called Anglo-Saxon or Old English,the earliest form of English.
The next great invasion of Britain came from the far north beginning about one thousand and one hundred years ago. Fierce people called Vikings raided the coast areas of Britain. 4 The next invasion of Britain took place in ten sixtysix. History experts call this invasion the Norman Conquest. The Normans became the new rulers of Britain. These new rulers spoke only French for several hundred years. The French language used by the Norman rulers greatly changed the way English was spoken by eight hundred years ago. 5 Middle English sounds like modern English. But it is very difficult to understand now.
The history of the English language continues as Middle English becomes Modern English,which is spoken today.
A. English is the major foreign language taught in most schools in South America and Europe.
B. Researchers do not really know what it sounded like.
C. After a while,most of the Celts were killed,or made slaves.
D. English became what language experts call Middle English.
E. Many English words used today come from these ancient Vikings.
F. Yet,Proto-Indo-European is believed to be the ancestor of most European languages.
G. The Celts had lived in Britain for many thousands of years.

Nowadays nearly every child is burdening with heavy schoolbags as well as huge mental pressure. When he is young,he expected to be able to go to a key elementary school,and later a key high school. And then he is expected to be admitted to enter a key university. Under such distressful and difficulties,how can he seek for dynamic and active selfdevelopment?
Reducing children's heavy burden require efforts from schools,society,as well as parents. Education where breaks the natural rules of children's development about body and mind is bound to fail. In short,parents as well as teachers should become actively supporters of allround character education and work close with each other in guiding students towards a balanced development.

Getting rid of dirt,in the opinion of most people,is a good thing. 1 In the early 16th century,people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease,as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538,the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. 2 Since then,even the rich in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. 3 Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath,the king ordered that,to avoid the attack of disease,the nobleman should not go out.
4 Scientifically speaking,cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet,it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War H. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white,cloths ever softer,surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt,however,gone too far?
5 Many firsttime parents nervously try to warn their children not to touch dirt,which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary,Mary Ruebush,an American immunologist (免疫學(xué)家) ,encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
A. So did the king of England in 1546.
B. The rich and noble man lived an elegant life.
C. Though the belief in the merit of dirt was longlived,dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century.
D. However,there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
E. So how to get rid of dirt has been under heated discussion.
F. Henry IV,King of France,was famously dirty.
G. Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.
