“Ordinary” was the worst word my mother could find for anything. Whenever she took me out for shopping, I found she wouldn’t take any notice of the shop assistants when they suggested that some dresses were popular. She would say, “We’re not interested in that. Haven’t you got anything a little unusual?” And then the assistants would bring out all the strange colours no one else would buy. And later she and I would argue because I wanted to be ordinary but my mother wanted to be unusual.
“I can’t stand that hairdo (发型),” she said to me when I was in a boy hairstyle, “It’s so terribly ordinary... Not ugly, not unsuitable. But ordinary ...”
“Couldn’t you please wear something else?” I asked one day when she was dressing for Parents’ Day in tight (紧贴的) trousers and a bright pink sweater.
“What’t wrong with it!”
“It’s just that I wish you’d wear something ordinary.” I said, “People won’t laugh at.”

“I have lost my axe.” he said. “It fell into the water when I was cutting the wood.” The fairy showed him a gold（金） axe and asked, “Is this yours?” “No.” said the man.

English words don’t stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or old words are used in a new way.
English can be changed by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and “tea” came from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words can be formed by adding two words together. “Countryside” and “earthquake” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of old 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, too. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich and “sellotape”(透明胶带) was a name given by the company that first made the product.New English words are needed because _________.
A. people use old words in a new way

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容判断句子的正误。正确的涂 “A”，错误的涂 “B”。
More and more advertisements appear on the Web. You have to be careful not to be fooled or tricked(欺骗) by the advertisements on the Internet. Something is said to be a bargain(便宜物品), but it isn’t always cheap. And some so-called new things just have a new outside.
However, shopping online is a kind of fashionable(时尚的) thing today. I love to buy things of everyday use, so I often get lots of information about them on websites online. For example, if I want an MP3, I can choose my favorite one, and look for what the users like or don’t like about it, then decide whether to buy or not. And at the same time, you don’t have to go to a shop or walk around a crowded shopping area, so you don’t have to waste much time. The Internet is really useful for shopping, but be careful not to spend too much.If you want to shop online, you should be careful not to be fooled.
The writer thinks that the advertisements online are always true.
MP3 is a kind of book that you can learn music.
The writer doesn’t like buy things online.
If you shop online, you can save time.
