This is our school reading room. It is the biggest room in our

school. There are a lot of books on the bookshelves and many

magazines（杂志） on the desks. Some are in Chinese. Some are in

English. The desks are cleaner than the bookshelves. The desk for

the librarian（图书管理员） is the cleanest. We often help to

clean the reading room. Many students come here to read after

school. There's no noise in it. The students mustn't talk in it.

They must keep quiet（安静）. So it is the quietest room in our

school.

　　In every language there are words that have some interesting stories behind them. The word “sandwich（三明治，夹肉面包）”, for example, is very common in English. If we want to know the story behind it, we must know something about an English nobleman named Sandwich who 　　lived in the 18th century.

　　　　Sandwich was rich, but he liked to play cards for money. He often played for 24 hours, and did not even stop to have his meals. He ordered his servants to bring him some meat and bread and he played while eating. He put the meat between two pieces of bread and he held the food in his left hand, while he played with his right hand. People liked Sandwich's idea and began to eat bread and meat in his way.

　　From the name Sandwich, we have the word 　　“sandwich” today.
