阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
This is the plastic tube（管子）that holds the in.If you too this tube away from the pen what would happen?
My students loo at me as if they can’t believe I’m asing such a stupid question. Man,you wouldn’t be able to write.
O. Now what is this I’m holding in my hand? Again the patient loo.That’s a spring（弹簧）,man. And what would happen if we too the spring away? The pen wouldn’t wor.
Now loo at what I’m writing on the blacboard.“The spring maes the pen wor.”What is the subject of this sentence? In other words, what are we taling about in this sentence?
The pen.
No, no, no. There’s an action word here. It’s called a verb. What is it? Oh, yeah. The spring.
No, no, no. The spring is a thing.
Yeah, yeah.The spring is a thing. Hey, man. That’s poetry So,what does the spring do? Maes the pen wor.
Good. The spring does the action. We’re taling about the spring, right? They loo doubtful.
Suppose we say,“The pen maes the spring wor.”Would that be right? No. The spring maes the pen wor. Anyone can see that. So, what is the action word? Maes.
Right. And what word uses the action word? Spring.
So you can see how a ballpoint pen is lie a sentence. It needs something to mae it wor. It needs action, a verb. Can you see that?
They said they could. The headmaster, maing notes in the bac of the room, looed puled.After class he said he could understand the connection I was maing between structure of pen and structure of sentence. He wasn’t sure if I had succeeded in getting that across to the ids but still, it was new and imaginative. He was sure, if some of his eperienced English teachers tried it they’d improve on it, but it was a pretty good idea. 21. How did the students react to the author’s first question?

If you were to travel bac in time to the tenth century, you probably wouldn’t be able to understand a sentence that anyone said to you.They’d be speaing Old English. Taling to a tenth-century Englishman,
C.It was easy to understand.
you’d probably only be able to understand a few words lie “a”or“the”. Only about one-sith of today’s English words have an Old English root（词根）, with the rest having foreign influences.
Gradually Old English turned into the Middle English that Chaucer wrote in—but still the official language of England was French! It was only in 1362, during Chaucer’s lifetime,that English was used at the opening of Parliament（议会）for the first time. During the same year a law called the “Statute of pleading” was passed maing English the official language in Parliament. In 1399, ing Henry IV became the first ing of England after the Norman Conquest whose mother tongue was English.
English was still a language of low status（地位）—especially when it came to writing poetry During the 14th century, the Italians and French were creative. Great poets lie Dante were writing in totally new ways. But English had no such great writers. This was where Chaucer made a difference. He too the language of the man in the street and turned it into many famous wors,such as The Canterbury Tales.Chaucer proved poetry written in English could be every bit as good as boos in French.
Of couse, the English language has continued to change since Chaucer’s day. For eample, Shaespeare’s English is quite different from Chaucer’s. And it is still changing now. Until just a few years ago,“C U L8R”（see you later）was just a set of letters and numbers and numbers, but now most people now what it means!
