Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
“Self” can be added to many words to make new
words.Self-awareness means you recognize both your good points and bad points.Self-aware people understand that what they say and do affects the people around them.
Self-conscious (害羞的) means you are nervous about what other people think of you.You are not self-confident around others.
Self-employed people are people who work for themselves.They are their own bosses.But people who are self-serving only think of their own needs.
Self-preservation is a good thing.You have to depend on yourself to survive.However,self-pity is not a good thing to have.Nobody likes to be around people who always feel sorry for themselves.
If you are unable to make a decision,people could say to you,“Suit yourself.”This expression is a response (答复) when someone doesn't really care what you do.It means to do as you please or have it your way!
Some expressions using the word “self” can sound strange.For example,the saying “to be beside yourself”.To many people,this might sound like you are having an out-of-body experience.But “to be beside yourself” means to be affected by a strong negative emotion,like anger or sadness.
Another unusual-sounding expression is to be “full of yourself”.This means that you think so highly of yourself,and there is no room for anyone else.If you are full of yourself,you might think that you are the greatest thing in the world.If you are full of yourself,you may need to get over yourself.“To get over yourself” may sound like a difficult physical exercise.But it only means that you need to think of someone else other than yourself.

Towards the end of Middle English,a sudden change in pronunciation started,with vowels (元音) being pronounced shorter and shorter.From the 16th century the British had contact (接触) with many people from around the world.This meant that lots of new vocabulary entered the language.The invention of printing also meant that there was now a common language in print.Books became cheaper and more people learned to read.Spelling and grammar became fixed,and the dialect of London became the standard.In 1604 the first English dictionary came out.
Early Modern English and Late Modern English are mostly different in the number of words.Late Modern English has many more words,mainly because of the following two reasons: First,the Industrial Revolution (工业革命) led to the need for new words.Second,the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth's surface,and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.
From around 1600,the English colonization (殖民地化) of North America led to American English.Some English pronunciations and words “froze” when they reached America.In some ways,American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English.Some expressions that are called “American English” are in fact from British expressions.They were kept in the colonies while lost for a time in Britain.Spanish also had an influence (影响) on American English.For example,words like canyon,ranch,stampede and vigilante are from Spanish.They entered English by the people of Spain who settled in the American West.French words and West African words also influenced American English.
Today,American English has a greater influence,because of the USA's movies,television,popular music,trade and technology.
