Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hasn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words totelephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.
Language changes forreasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new
, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions _
they have different ages, jobs, educationlevels and so on.
| A. shorter B. another C. alive D. communicate with E. the other |
How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the language changes begin with young people. When young people_others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions. Some have a short lifetime but others have a long life. On
__hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words
or putting words together and we make them out of proper names.

| Beside loud soft think so get answer happen say shout |
A wise man was visiting a village with his students. He found a group of family membersin anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked, “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”
His studentsfor a while, and one of them said, “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”
“But, why should you shout when the other person is justyou? You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.”
Students gave some other but none were any good.
“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts became distanced (疏远的),” the wise man explained. “To cover the distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, thethey will have to shout to hear each other.”
“Whatwhen two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk
because their hearts are very close.” The wise man said.
He looked at his students and said, “So when you argue, do not let your heartsdistant. Stop
words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is
great that you will not find the way back.”
