Like other languages, English has changed greatly. The history of the English language can be divided into three main periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of the English language. During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world. The processes of European exploration and colonization for several centuries led to significant change in English. Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the popularity of American cinema, television, music, trade and technology, including the Internet.翻譯：人們普遍認為英語是一種世界語言，經(jīng)常被許多不以英語為第一語言的國家使用。英語起源于公元5世紀，當(dāng)時三個日耳曼部落入侵英國，他們對英語語言的形成起了很大的作用。今天，由于美國電影、電視、音樂、貿(mào)易和技術(shù)、包括互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的大受歡迎，美國英語的影響力尤其顯著。書法能夠通過作品把書法家個人的生活感受、學(xué)識、修養(yǎng)、個性等折射出來，所以，通常有字如其人的說法。s handwriting is like seeing the person.

He and his playmates imitated burying and mourning proceedings. Mencius’ mother thought the surroundings were not good for his education so she decided to move. They moved to a place next to a fair, and Menciusbegan to learn the ways of business people, bargaining and haggling. His mother didn’t want her son to bee a businessman so she moved again. This time they moved into the house near a school, and Mencius began to learn the Classics and etiquette along with the students. His mother thought this was the right place for him and decided to stay there for good. This shows that Mencius’ mother realized the importance of environment for children’s growing up. These are the stories about how “Mencius’ mother moved three times.” One day, Mencius came back home before school let out. His mother called him to the loom side and let him watch her weaving. After a long time, she suddenly cut the cloth she had wovenwith a knife, much to Mencius’ bewilderment. When Mencius asked, his mother explained, “If you quit school half way, it’s like my cutting the cloth before it is pleted.” Mother’s words were firmly branded in the son’s mind. From then on, he studied assiduously and became a great thinker and educator of the Warring States Period and he has been remembered as such throughout Chinese history.Unit 2 原文：A MOOC (massive open online course) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web.
