A
Are the British people Europeans？This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians, who tend to think of all white men as Europeans. But the British, when they are in Britain, do not regard themselves as Europeans. The Europeans, to them, are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel, who have never learnt how to speak English. Europe is “the Continent”：a place full of interest for British tourists, but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved. Thus, although geographically speaking Britain is a part of Europe, yet the fact that it is a separate island has made its people feel very, very insular (孤立的). They feel, and in many ways are, different from the rest of Europe and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them, or even to understand them, in time of need.
Where did the British people come from？This is an extraordinary interesting question, since they are a mixture of many different races，and all these races invaded Britain at various times from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century B．C., but there had been at least three invasions before that. The first of these was by a darkhaired Mediterranean race called the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes: first the Gaels, whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish, some of whom still speak the Gaelic language；and second the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization, but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers, so the British race survived until the overthrow of the Roman Empire by the“barbarians”， i．e. the numerous Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe.

Once Napoleon stayed in a small inn. The next morning, he went to thank the innkeeper. “You have served me well, innkeeper，” said Napoleon. “I wish to reward you. Tell me what you want.”
“Sir, we want nothing，” said the innkeeper. “But will you tell us something？” “What is it？” Napoleon asked.
“We have heard a story，” said the innkeeper, “that once during the war, a small village was taken by the Russians. You happened to be in the village. You hid while they looked for you. Will you tell us how you felt when they were looking for you？” Napoleon looked very angry. He called in two of his soldiers. Then he pointed to the door. The soldiers took the innkeeper and his wife out into the yard.
At the end of the yard was a wall. The innkeeper and his wife were led to the wall. The soldiers tied the hands of the innkeeper and his wife. Napoleon watched, saying nothing.
“Please, sir.” begged the innkeeper, “Don't kill us! We meant nothing！” The soldiers moved back. The innkeeper saw them raising their guns. Then Napoleon called: “Ready! Aim！” The wife screamed.“Stop！” said Napoleon. He went to the innkeeper, “Now, you know the answer to the question you asked me just now, don't you？”

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won't have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.
Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating (交际). Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.
Let's look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read
books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won't need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized (计算机化) books will be used more and more.
Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won't change these two habits.
12．In Paragraph 1 it is thought people will use computers for ________． A．playing games, shopping and making telephone calls B．making telephone calls, having meals and seeing films C．seeing films, buying food, and going for holidays

Linguistic (语言学的) Puzzles
How did the language begin? What was the world's first language? Do all languages come from one original language? 16.________
In the 4th century BC, the Greek historian Herodotus wrote this account: Psamtik Ⅰ， an Egyptian King, wanted to find out what the oldest language in the world was.
17．________ He told his servant to find two newborn babies. When the servant had found them, the king gave them to a shepherd (牧羊人) and said, “Keep these babies with the goats. Take care of them, but do not talk to them. Listen to any words that they say.” The king wanted to find out what language the children would speak if they were left alone. He said: “The first words they speak will come from the original language of the world.”
18．________ He told the king, who asked his scholars about this word. They told him that the Phrygians, who lived in an area which is now Turkey, called bread “becos”. The king said. “Then Phrygian is the oldest language.” Today we know that the king's conclusion was wrong. We don't know why the children said “becos”．
19．________ Scholars discovered that many European and southern Asian languages belonged to the same “family” and that they started from the same parent language, Proto Indo European. Linguists think that it had split into several different languages, including Greek and Sanskrit, between 2，000 and 1，000 BC. Other languages, such as English and Spanish, developed from later splits.
20．________ Two questions that interest linguists are: How does language change? Why does language change? If you like solving mysteries, historical linguistics may be the job for you.

E．People have been trying to find the answers to these questions for more than 2，000 years.
F．One day, while the babies were babbling to each other, the shepherd heard them say “becos”．
G．Linguists have classified many language families, and they are still trying to categorize others.

There are some evidence showing that，the graph of marine life has been going downwards which means that more and more marine lives in the sea and ocean are dying.
I think the reason for this is that we human beings had used too much of the natural reserves and water pollution had also contributed to the death of the marine lives.
So when more and more protective marine life animals like whale and sharks are dying, soon animals under the sea are going to be fewer and fewer.And my conclusion is that problems that care about the marine life under the sea need to be highlighted and discussed so that it will not be carried on.
