Long long ago, there was a king who liked to write stories. He was so proud of his stories that he showed them to many people. Although the people didn’t like the stories, they were afraid to say that. Instead, they all said his stories were good.

One day he showed his stories to a well-known critic (评论家). The critic said that they were bad. The king got very angry and sent him into prison.

After some time the king sent his men to the critic to tell him that he was free. When the critic returned from the prison, the king invited him to his palace to dinner. Again he showed him some of his stories and again asked him what he thought of them. The critic said nothing but turned to the soldiers, who were standing behind him, and said, “Please take me back to prison.”

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 meaning like “kind” or “friendly”. Since then，people have thought of “nice” as a word with good meanings.

A good change of a word’s meaning like this example of “nice” is called AMELIORATION. Though we don’t use nice to mean “stupid” any more, it is fun to know how much a word’s meaning can change from its start!

For more examples of AMELIORATION，see next page.

41. AMELIORATION means a word’s meaning _______.

A. can change from its start B. changes from bad to good

C. changes from good to bad D. remains the same over a long time

42. Which of the following is most likely to appear on the next page?

A. The word“terrific”used to mean “terrible”, but now it means “excellent”.

B. The word“silly”used to mean “happy”, but now it means “stupid”.

C. You may wonder why a word’s meaning changes over time.
