Task 2 Conversation: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.Human language is a living thing. Each language has its own biological system, which makes it different from all other languages. This system must constantly adjust to a new environment and new situations to survive and flourish (兴盛). When we think of human language this way, it is an easy step to see the words of a language as being like the ceils of a living organism (机物)-they are constantly forming and dying and splitting into parts as time changes and the language adapts. There are several specific processes by which new words are formed. Some words come into the language which sound like what they refer to. Words like buzz (嗡嗡) and ding-dong are good examples of this process. Still another way in which new words are formed is to use the name of a person or a place closely associated with that word’s meaning. The words sandwich and hamburger are examples of this word-formation process. The Earl ( 伯爵 ) of Sandwich was so fond of gambling at cards that he hated to be interrupted by the necessity of eating. He thus invented a new way of eating while he continued his game at the gambling table. This quick and convenient dish is what we now call a sandwich-a piece of meat between two slices of bread. The hamburger became the best-known sandwich in the world after it was invented by a citizen of Hamburg in Germany. As long as a language is alive, its cells will continue to change, forming new words and getting rid of the ones that no longer have any use. A language is a living thing in many ways EXCEPT ______.

Most insurance companies in the world are stock insurance companies or mutual insurance companies. A stock insurance company is owned by stockholders, who share in profits earned by the company. A mutual insurance company is owned by the policyholders (投保人). Profits earned by a mutual insurance eompany are returned to the policyholders as dividends (股息) or used to cut future insurance cost. In addition to the private insurance organizations, certain types of insuranee are provided in the U. S. by governmental organizations. A notable instance is the system of social security operated by the federal government through the Social Security Administration. An insurance company may require a policyholder to provide proof of the ownership and the value of lost or damaged property before it pays compensation. For this reason, policyholders should have such evidence of their possessions as lists, sales receipts, appraisals (估价单), or photographs. The evidence should be kept in a safe-deposit box or other secure place outside the home. Many companies that sell health insurance policies (保险) provide cash benefits to the insured person. A cash benefit is a fixed dollar amount for each medical expense or day of hospitalization. If the cash benefits do not cover the entire cost of medical care, the policyholder must pay the rest.
