The English language is different from any other language. Yet English words do not stay the same. The language is always changing. We need new words for new inventions and new ideas. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.

English can change by borrowing words from other languages. Tomato was borrowed from Mexico and pajamas from Indian. The word coffee came from Turkey, and tea came from China. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too.

New words are also made by adding two words together. Strawberry, popcorn, and grandfather are words made up of two parts.

Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older 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. Smog was made by using only the first two and last two letters from the words smoke and fog.

The names of people and products can become new words. Our sandwich was named after a man named Sandwich. Scotch Tape, Band-aid and Jello were names made up by the companies that first made the products.

Most students， who are learning a foreign language, like to choose Homestay when they study abroad. Others also prefer homestay even if they go on a visit or a holiday in another country. Presently，homestay has become a form of accommodation(寄宿 ) which is very popular all around the world. If you want to

stay at a comfortable and home-like house and experience the life of local people，

you can book a homestay on the Internet before you go abroad. It is easy for you to pick out a host family that you want to live with from all over the world. So what is homestay? And what makes it so popular nowadays?

Homestay means living with a foreign family or "host family" as we stay abroad. It is usually called a home away home. There are three ways of doing it:

★Choose to learn English in a language school near your homestay where you

live ；

★Have your English classes in the house with a member of family who is a qualified (合格的)　 teacher；

★Don't have any classes at all when you visit a foreign country-a popular

choice if you want to be a tourist for example.

Even in the busy summer period the organization that provides the homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable(适合的) host family to meet your needs. With the help of the organizations, you don't worry about where you live， your interests， your language level, eating habits, medical care and anything else you may have during the homestay.

Though the price of homestay is，mainly depended on your needs， high-quality homestay accommodation can be relatively economical(经济的). And if you want your homestay in or near the city center， you may pay for an extra amount of money. Even if you stay further out. you can expect your journey into the center not to Go beyond 30 minutes.

Not only does homestay accommodation represent(象征) value for money，it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice the foreign language with your host family. This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much language as possible. But if you plan to learn English. Why not have your English classes in your host family? There's no better way to learn languages than this because it makes learning and accommodation together as well as the cultural experience!

1.What can be inferred from the passage?

B. All the homestay family members used to be good teachers in the past

C. More money should be paid if you live in host families in city center.

Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school. When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice and easy holiday without any language problem. But how wrong I was!

At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived. An American asked if he could help me. “Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”

“Well, that’s nice. Are you getting married?” he asked.

“No,” I replied, “I just want to tell him I have arrived.”

“Oh,” he said, “there is a phone downstairs on the first floor.”

“But we’re on the first floor now,” I said.

“Well, I don’t know what you are talking about. Maybe you aren’t feeling too well after your journey,” he said. “Just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better.” And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was: At home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an airport?

At last we did meet. Danny explained the misunderstanding: Americans say “to give someone a call”, but we English say “to give somebody a ring”. When we say “to wash your hands”, they say “to wash up”. And Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor so the first floor is the second for Americans.
