7、 Chicago for a short spring break. For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train. We all went to Chicago four years ago, and the kids loved it. Chicago is one of my favorite cities, too, so the thought struck me again last fall to ride the train to Chicago. Of course, flying would have
8、been faster. But I dont think flying is easier, especially these days, with all the security and waiting in lines at airports.Though we were tired in the middle of the night, the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure. “Were moving,” my son William shouted happily with big eye
9、s as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my nights sleep. The sleeper car would have better enabled that, but the ordinary train seats were not too bad. An airline flight is a more miserable experience for me: not enough room, two
10、 hours of pain with my knees almost touching my chin, the hard seatback in front cracking (重击) my kneecaps (膝盖) with every move of the body planted in front of me. On the train I could almost outstretch (伸出) all of my 6foot2plus body in the generous legroom.The journey didnt feel at all as long as i
11、t was. We all found the train ride a joy. The car ride would have felt every minute of 13 hours. But on the train you are free to walk around, sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows, have a nice meal in the dining car, read a book, or play a board game.In s
12、hort, the train is all about enjoying the trip, which isnt something I do so much when travelling by airline or by car, when the trip seems more of a mission(任务) to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.Chicago offers much to do for a family. This time, getting there was half the fun.1

Enjoyable.(B) Like other languages, English has changed greatly, so that an English speaker of 1300 would not have understood the English of 500 nor the English of today. Changes of ever
16、y sort have taken place in the sounds and in the grammar. Although the pronunciation of English has changed greatly since the 15th century, the spelling of English words has changed very little over the same period. As a result, English spelling is not a reliable guide to the pronunciation of the la
17、nguage.The vocabulary of English has naturally expanded, but many common modern words are derived from(来源于) the vocabulary of the earliest English, e.g. bread, good, and shower. French words, such as castle, began to come into English shortly before the Norman Conquest in 1066. After the Conquest, N
18、orman French became the language of the court and of official life, and it remained so until the end of the 14th century.During these 300 or more years English remained the language of the common people, but an increasingly large number of French words found their way into the language, so that the
19、French element in the English vocabulary was very considerable(相当多的). Most legal terms and words denoting (表示) social ranks and institutions(制度) (such as duke), together with a great number of other words that cannot be classified readily, e.g. honor, courage, season, manner, study, and poor, belong
20、 to this period of French influence.Since nearly all of these French words are mainly derived from Late Latin, they may be regarded as an indirect influence of the classical languages upon the English vocabulary.The direct influence of the classical languages began with the Renaissance (文艺复兴)(the pe
21、riod in Europe in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries when there was a new interest in art, literature, and science) and has continued ever since; even today Latin and Greek roots are the chief source for English words in science and technology.
