The guy who tried to edit English The English vocabulary is not only huge,it's also full of words that mean practically tile same thing.Get,obtain,acquire.Shine,gleam,glow,sparkle.(1)
A

  That was the thinking of a British writer named C.K.Ogden,who in the 1930s proposed (提議) a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850 words.He called the project Basic English.(2)
F
F

   Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation,rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied.The words be finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete.(3)
D
D
Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of"operators"---words like come,go,get,take,have,make,be,and do---Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary.In Basic English,eat is"have a meal."Forget is"go from memory."
   Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English,and he encouraged the BBC to use it.(4)
E

Roosevelt,who expressed mild interest,joked that Churchill's famous speech about offering his"blood,toil,tears,and sweat"to his country wouldn't have been so exciting if he"had been able to offer the British people only blood,work,eye water,and face water,which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words."

Churchill didn't use it either.When seeking to express ourselves,we don't necessarily need fewer words;we need the right words.So it's to our benefit to have a large supply on hand.

A.Do we really need them all?
B.How many words are there in English?
C.Ogden himself didn't actually use Basic English.
D,Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all.
E.He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.
F.He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.
G.Despite attention from world leaders,Basic English never got very far off the drawing board.

       For as long as we have been able to stand upright and speak,we have told stories.They explained the mysteries of the world:birth,death,the seasons,day and night.
       As humanity progressed,other types of stories developed.These were not concerned with the mysteries of the meaning of life but with everyday(1)
    matters.While they were more mundane(平淡的)in the issues they explored,such tales were no less impressive in their (2)

       These smaller,everyday stories,combining the world of humans with fantastical creatures and seemingly impossible plots are now (3)

    in pre-literate societies and told by the folk,capture the hopes and dreams of humanity.They convey messages of(5)
