Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
A language never stands still. It is always changing and developing. These changes are rapid in primitive societies, but slow in advanced ones, because the invention of printing and the spread of education have fixed the traditional usage. The only important change that English has undergone since the early 16th century up to now is a large increase in its vocabulary. It is interesting to trace difference ways in which new words are invented. Let us take just two English words and see how they were made: “sandwich” and “television”.
“Sandwich”, which is now no longer an entirely English word, but also international, comes from the Earl of Sandwich (died in 1792), who invented the particular form of a quick meal so that he could go on gambling all through the night without stopping for dinner. Many names of things are in fact taken from the name of the first inventors, for example, the electrical term Watt and Volt.
“Television” is one of many new scientific words which are invented from old Greek and Latin words. “Tele” is Greek, meaning “far”, while “vision” comes from the Latin verb, meaning “to see”.

A.gambling
B.work
C.study
D.journey
