21. Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed fora long time, we won’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or someother new things.

Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker

change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason forchange is that different people have different language experiences.

People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs,education levels(⽔平) and so on.

How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When youngpeople communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are differentfrom the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we getnew words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter orcombining words and we make them out of proper names.

Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English ch anges so much shows thatit is alive and well.

71. What does the writer think of the change and development of language?He thinks it is .

72. Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage?Because their and education levels are different.

73. How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage?The writer mentions reasons.

74.How do young people help develop language?

They do it when they others of their own age.

75. What is considered a dead language according to the passage?The one that over time is considered a dead language.
