When you are learning languages, what do you think is the most interesting? One of the most interesting of all studies is the study of words and word origins．Each language is __21__ of several earlier languages and the words of a language can sometimes be traced __22__ through two or three different languages to their __23__．Again a word from one language may pass into other languages and __24__?a new meaning．The word “etiquette,” which is __25__?French origin and originally meant a label （標(biāo)志）, __26__?a sign, passed into Spanish and kept its original meaning．So in Spanish the word “etiquette” today is used to __27__?the small tags （標(biāo)簽） which a store __28__ to a suit, a dress or a bottle．The word “etiquette” in French, __29__, gradually developed a different meaning．It __30__ became the custom to write directions on small cards, or “etiquette”, as to how visitors should dress themselves and __31__ during an important ceremony at the royal court．__32__ t
he word “etiquette” began to indicate a system of correct manners for people to follow．__33__ this meaning, the word passed into English．
Consider the word “breakfast”．“To fast” is to go for some period of time without __34__．Thus in the morning after many hours __35__?the night without food, one __36__ one’s fast．
Consider the everyday English __37__ “Good-bye”．Many many years ago, people would say to each __38__ on parting “God be with you．” As this was __39__ over and over millions of times, it gradually became __40__?to “Good-bye”．

One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting.I was expecting a quiet??36 ?of the splendid artwork.
A young??37 ?viewing the paintings ahead of me??38 ?nonstop between themselves.
I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking.I admired the man's??39 ?for putting up with her??40 ?stream of words.?41 by their noise,I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved??42 ?the various rooms of art.Each time I heard her continuous flow of words,I moved away??43 ??.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a??44 ?when the couple approached the??45 ??.Before they left,the man??46 ?into his pocket and pulled out a white object.He??47 ???it into a long stick and then??48 ?his way into the coatroom to get his wife's ?jacket.
“He's a ?49 ???man.”the clerk at the counter said.“Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age.During his recovery,he made a promise his life wouldn't change.So,as before,he and his wife come in??50 ?there is a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?”I asked.“He can't see.”
“Can't see!You're??51 ?.He sees a lot.More than you and I do,”the clerk said.“His wife?52 ?each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience,??53 ?and love that day.I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without??54 and the courage of a husband who would not?55 blindness to change his life.And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away,their arms intertwined.

My husband and I were cleaning windows together yesterday. We have the double-hung(雙吊鉤)?36 ?that you can pull forward and flip（翻轉(zhuǎn)）, allowing us to??37 ?the inside and the outside surfaces.
My husband was ??38 ??one window - and it popped out （跳出）of its frame! ?Well, our??39 ??is for sale and the last thing we needed was for something to ??40 ?.
He was so ??41 ??and tried with all his strength to get it ??42 ??together, using a few less than pleasant words (I am sorry to say). After twenty minutes he still could not get it ??43 ?. That's when my 23-year- old ??44 ??told his dad to ??45 ??for a minute and he would try to fix it with me.
It's amazing how you can see things more clearly and do things more??46 ??when you are??47 ?. He and I fixed the window in three minutes! I called my husband in to see! He couldn't ??48 ??it!
I know this isn't really a gift ??49 ?, in a way, it was. My son ??50 ?my husband, to leave to cool down, and??51 ??him from the worry for a moment. And my son fixing it with me was a ??52 ?to me, because I saw him as a man ??53 ??the kid he always seems to be in my??54 ?.
Calm is good. Breathe through difficult times and maybe even take a break from stressful times. Return with a clear mind and things will usually ??55 ??much better!

Last Christmas while staying with my parents, I ??36 ??across some old love letters that my parents wrote to each other. These letters were all piled up in a basket, dirty and ??37 ??with dust. Deciding to read and sort them, I asked them if I could take the letters back to my Illinois home. They ??38 ?.
As I carefully opened each letter, ??39 ?of them fragile with age, I discovered a new page 40 ??unknown to me in this private chapter of my parents' lives.
My father used to ??41
???in the army. So his letters were full of frontline ??42 ??of the things about the war. Each of my mother's letters was marked with her 1944 dark red lipstick kiss. I was ??43 ??to these letters like a magnet（磁鐵）.
Just six weeks after our Christmas visit, Daddy became very ??44 ??and was hospitalized. This time, he was fighting a ??45 ??kind of war. As I sat by his bedside, we discussed the ??46 ?. He told me how much receiving those lipstick-kissed letters had ??47 ?to him when he had been so far from home.
It so happened that the next day would be February 14. From the ??48 ??letters I chose the card my father had sent Mother in 1944 and brought it to my father’s bedside.
At his bedside, I joked with him, saying ??49 ?, "Today is Valentine's Day, don’t you want to send Mother a present?" He became more ??50 ??when I handed him the old ??51 ?. He carefully opened it and took out the card, and when he ??52 ??it, his eyes were filled with tears.
My father, in a ??53 ??tight with emotion (情感) read the loving message he'd sent to my mother fifty-six years ??54 ?. And this time, he could read it to her in ??55 ?.
