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 are 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 “sello tape”(透明胶带) was a name given by the company that first made the product.
( )46.New English words are needed because _____.
A.people use old words in a new way B.the population is bigger now
C.new ideas and new inventions appear all the time

If you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.　　There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal (信号) by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.　　Keep up shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots (枪声). When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.　　If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house---cover up to the holes with branches (树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.　　What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.1.If you lost in the forest, you should _______.　　A.stay where you are and give signals three times　　B.walk around the forest and shout so that your friends could hear you　　C.try to find your friends as soon as possible2.If you want to let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun, you should _______.　　A. tell people that you are lost B. keep up shouting or whistling　　C. shout or whistle three times3.When you hear two shouts, or whistles, or gunshots, __________.　　A. you should shout more loudly B. you can whistle three times　　C. it is an answer to your call for help

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepee needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera soon. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. In that year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his pictures you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This new way of taking photos was called a Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world, and people took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films(胶卷) and other machines. But this did not stop them. For example, some in the United States worked so hard.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的).
Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies(复制品) of the real world. They showed feelings, like other kinds of art.

People in Haiti have a devastating（极具破坏性的） earthquake. Though some of them were prepared, many were not prepared. They did not know what to do if there was an earthquake. Most people do not know what to do because they don’t experience it every day. If you live in an area where an earthquake is possible, you must be sure you know how to stay safe if an earthquake were to happen. What should we do when an earthquake comes.
First, prepare an emergency pack（急救包）, including food, water and a first-aid kit（急救药箱）. Put a flashlight, some batteries clothing and some money in the emergency pack. Put this emergency pack in a safe place.
Second, if you are inside, drop to the ground at once. Stay away from glass, windows, doors or anything that fall on you. Cover your head with a pillow（枕头） until the earthquake passes. If you are already outside, stay outside. Move away from tall buildings, bridges, streetlights and trees. The safest place is an open field. Stay there until the earthquake is over and all of the shaking stops.
At last, you can help others before yourself. If you see someone in danger, get your emergency pack and help them out.
