    Words come out of the culture that they【B2】______ and they describe so if you’ve got a new development in medicine, for example bird flu, then you’ll get a new word coming out of that. If there’s a【B3】______ conflict, that may well bring all sorts of new words to the fore(前部).【B4】______ in time the First and Second World Wars were times of great【B5】______ of language because people from different countries met each other and【B6】______ their words and words developed from there. So words come from the playground; they come from politics; they come from any area of life because every area of life is changing from day to day.
    And does English have more words than any other language? It【B7】______ has more than other European languages and probably more than any other language in the world. English is put together from so many different【B8】______. Originally it was a Germanic(德国的)language and then after the Norman Conquest in 1066 there was an 【B9】______ influx(流入)of French words. And it comes from a country, the United Kingdom, which was quite an【B10】______, trading, colonial power in the past and all these have brought all sorts of other new words into the language.
