Translation

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery, linguists /language scientists now tend to believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source;the Indo-European parent language.English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century.They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English.In its over 15 centuries of development, English has borrowed from other languages massively, and such borrowing has greatly enriched its vocabulary.As settlers landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English.Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit 8

Translation

It is relatively more difficult to call for poorly educated people to conserve resources because they tend to view resources as nothing more than handy materials, which they can never overuse to the point of excess.They are seldom aware of the fatal consequences of the ruin of nature.In contrast, most educated people bind their own well-being to that of nature and try to preserve nature on the grounds of self-preservation.Though it may be difficult to distinguish a good proposal from a bad one in our current debate on environmental issues, one contemporary commentator has argued that protecting the environment in the name of man should be our guiding principle.

You should know better than to disturb others for your own amusement.” In the end George traded his CDs for computer games software from his classmates.Unit 4 I.Vocabulary 1.Fill in the gaps with words or phrases…
