8、her own fortunes were concerned.She had to rely on freelance(自由撰稿) work for six months after Quality Weekly Magazine folded.The regular salary cheque had always seemed very small, but now it was like lost riches.She sent many articles to other magazines. Sometimes she struck it lucky and got a task.
9、 She once wrote a short article of a politician who appreciated her fair-minded approach and gave her some secret information. Her article was noticed by an editor in search of something sharp and fresh. And Nancy was getting a name for sharp comment.In this trade,she saw,you didnt need so much to b
10、e up to date with things as ahead of them,lying in wait for circumstance,ready to jump.Then one day she walked into the offices of National Daily.It had taken her article and its editor had looked kindly upon her.Having handed over a piece on the latest educational theories shed written,she fell int

12、ue,and perhaps fame and success to follow that.She realized that the job presented her with a wonderful opportunity.Later, when she was alone.Nancy thought that her appointment had probably been a piece of good fortune.However,she refused to allow the word luck.She must have got the job because she
13、was good and experienced.What she never knew was that in fact the editor had been at the point of offering the column to another writer,Alex.When he was about to pick up the phone to call Alex,the colleague he most disliked walked into his office,and spoke with satisfaction of the possibility of clo

17、y,the study of words and word roots, may sound like the kind of thing done by boring librarians in small,dusty rooms.Yet etymologists actually have a uniquely interesting job. They are in many ways just like archaeologists (考古学家) digging up the physical history of people and events.The special aspec
18、t of etymology is that it digs up history,so to speak,through the words and phrases that are left behind.The English language,in particular,is a great field to explore history through words.As a language,English has an extraordinary number of words.This is partly due to its ability to adapt foreign
19、words so readily.For example,“English”words such as kindergarten (from German), croissant (from French),and cheetah (from Hindi) have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings.So English-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore.A
20、nother enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries(谜). No,etymologists do not go around solving murders,like the great detective Sherlock Holmes.What these word experts solve is mysterious origins of some of our most common words.One of the biggest questions Engli
21、sh language experts have pursued is how English came to have the phrase OK.Though it is one of the most commonly used expressions,its exact beginning is a puzzle even to this day. Even its spelling is not entirely consistentunless you spell it Okay,it is hard even to call it a word.Etymologists have
22、 been able to narrow OKs origin down to a likely,although not certain, source.It became widely used around the time of Martin Van Burens run for president in 1840. His nickname was Old Kinderhook.What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before
23、Van Buren became well known.It is likely that Van Buren could be called its primary source. Etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching for the initial source.However,it is clear that OKs popularity and reputation have topped those of the American president to whom it has been most clearly linked.

English has absorbed many words from other foreign languagesD. the English vocabulary is difficult to the non-Eng

Therefore, in the last twenty years of his life, his health became worse and she was miserable. He had the best doctors and nurse. But he could still find no relief
52、. I realized that health is worth all the money in the world. If you have millions of dollars but your health is poor, you will not be able to do that you want to do. So I would like to say, “ Dont hurt at yourself and try to make money. Instead, take care of your body and be happy at what you do. Healthy is more important.” 5
