Word Museum
Did you know the meaning of a word may change over time? Many English words we know now had different meanings a long time ago. One example is the word nice.
Around the year 1300, nice was first used in English to mean stupid. Two hundred years later, nice began to carry a better meaning. If people said a book was written nicely, they meant the book was written clearly or carefully, not stupidly. After 1800, nice began to take its modern meanings like kind or friendly. Since then, people have thought of nice as a word with good meanings.
A good change of the meaning in a word like this example of nice is called AMELIORATION. Though we do not use nice to mean stupid anymore, it is fun
to know how much the meaning of a word can change from its start! For more examples of AMELIORATION, see next page.
54 Here are four sentences from the Word Museum. Which is most likely to appear on the next page?
(A) The word silly used to mean happy, but now it means stupid.
(B) The word terrific used to mean terrible, but now it means excellent. (C) The word girl used to mean a young person, but now it means a young
woman.
(D) The word telephone is cut short to phone, but the two words mean the same thing.
55 What can we learn about the word nice? (A) It started to mean clear around 1500.
(B) It was first used in English around 1100.
(C) It still keeps its old meaning that was used around 1300. (D) It was used to talk about an important person around 1800.

Jacky: Lucy, why are you so crazy about movies? I just don’t get it.
Lucy: Well, I love movies so much. The best thing about movies is that I can always learn some wise words from them. Don’t you think so? Like Forrest Gump, I have watched it for five times. It’s one of my favorite movies. When Forrest’s mom was going to die, she told her son that “Death is just a part of life, something we’re all destined(命中注定) to do.”
She used these words to make Forrest feel better and let him know that death is unavoidable.
Jacky: Oh, I remember another famous line is “Life was like a box of chocolate. You never know what you are gonna to get.” Am I right?
Lucy: Yes, you are right. Let me tell you about another one, Desperate Housewives, a popular American TV series. It talked about the
struggles(掙扎) of family life, and it was very interesting. The line “Even
during bad times, always remember that the best is yet to come.” is hard for me to forget. These words really give me hope because I was breaking up with Jimmy at that time. And I found another inspiring(激勵人的)
sentence from The Lion King, “The past can hurt. But I think you can either run from it or learn from it.” Thanks to these movies, I know that the only way to forget about your past is to look ahead and learn from the lesson.
Jacky: Wow, I have never thought that the lines in movies can have that kind of help.
58 What does unavoidable mean in this dialogue? (A) You can run away from it easily.
(B)You can try hard to let something not happen. (C)You can change if you don’t want it.
(D)It will happen anyway.
59 Which is true about this dialogue?
(A) Desperate Housewives is a very famous American movie.
(B) Forrest died at a very young age, so his mom lived on her own for the rest of her life.
(C) The lines in the movies are so wise that they make good changes in Lucy’s life.
(D) “Even during bad times, always remember that the best is yet to come.” is Lucy’s favorite line from The Lion King.
60 What does “Life was like a box of chocolate. You never know what you’re gonna get.” mean?
(A) It’s impossible to make your whole life as sweet as chocolate. (B) Life is full of surprises and you never know what will happen next. (C) You can get what you want if you work hard.
(D) Life cannot start again; all you need is to save the most important things in your life.
