II. Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D
Do you often use shampoo or put ketchup on your food? Have you ever visited a sauna? If you
think these words are originally English, you'd better think again. In fact, each of these words comes
from a different language! Shampoo, for example, is actually a word from the Hindi language in India.
This word originally meant "massage". In hair shops in India, barbers massage your head while washing
your hair. Over time, British people in India used this word to mean a liquid that cleans hair.
Almost everyone knows what ketchup is. People all over the world like to pour this sauce on
French fries or sandwiches. This word is original Chinese (from ketsiap, a fish sauce). In the 1600s,
British and Dutch sailors brought the fish sauce to Europe. Over time, people change the sauce by adding
tomato flavour to it, but the name basically stayed the same.
Sauna, a popular type of public steam room and shower facility, comes from the Finnish language.
During one of the European Olympics, athletes from Britain and Germany saw Finnish athletes use
saunas after training. Later, the general public all over Europe started using this style of bathing, too.
Now, we still use this word to describe all kinds of steam rooms.
English is full of many wonderful borrowed words from many languages. Perhaps English should
change its name to Eng-hin-chi-fre-ger-ital-span-ish!
1. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Usage of words from other languages in English C. The most popular borrowed words
B. English words in other languages D. Words from India
