11、ochi, India, is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take.People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time, for any reason. Minu Pauline, who runs Pappadavada, has nicknamed th

12、e fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree, tree of goodness.The fridge is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food, so those who take know how long its been there. But most food doesnt

13、 stay in the fridge for long. In spite of a huge response from the community and plenty of donations, the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time. Pauling herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline

14、late on night when she saw a lady searching in a dustbin for food. She was especially saddened because that particular night, her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman, instead of her searching for it. She felt like she contributed to waste, and avoiding waste

18、y to each other.B The English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementar

19、y school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this approach might be beneficial for teaching children, it is far from accurate.The English language, like many others, is

20、 a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed radically over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a

21、thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differ

22、ences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word err. The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word her. However in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that

The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probab

24、ly done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.Of course many slang words have been just short-lived fads that have died out quickly. Others,though, have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectab

25、le, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.24When we begin to learn English, we think .Ait is interesting to take up a new languageBgram

26、mar and spelling rules are unchangeableConly grown-ups have the ability to affect a languageDEnglish rules are wrongly presented in fact25The pronunciation of words are changing because .Apeople speak in different waysBthe British dont agree with othersCpeople adopted foreign wordsDmakers of diction

27、aries created them26Which of the following statement about English slang words is True?AAll the slang words have become standard English.BEnglish slang words are popular for a short time.CSome slang words have been accepted.DEnglish slang words have different meanings actually.27Which of the followi
