language changes with the development of society. So does English. English words change all the time. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use and older words are used in a new way. Here are some common ways.

English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, and “tea” came from China and so on. Now new words are formed by joining two words together. “weekend” and “cookbook” are made up of two parts. A latest one “brunch” comes from breakfast and lunch. Do you have brunch every day? Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. For example, the word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” and “phone” were made by cutting off the front part of “aeroplane” and “telephone”. The names of people and products can also become new words. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich who invented it and “cello” was a name given by the company that first made the product.

Can you find more examples for each of these ways to make new words”

Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair,or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”.

The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, A Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that five years from now,every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things,no matter whether it’s a remote control or a washing machine.

So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well,think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.

An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people’s faces and has an infrared sensor(红外传感器),so even if it’s dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know,it can tell you that ,too.

But according to MIT Technology Roview, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Morever, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this ,many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 menbers by late 2014.

So, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? I t may happen sooner than you think.

One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect ghosts to visit him.

That , the ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds him his happy days as a child. Then the second ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the . Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning — Christmas Day!

Scrooge decides to change his life and to be a kind person. He celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true of Christmas!
