Some say it came from the Indian peoples. When Europeans first came to America they heard hundreds of different Indian languages. Many were will developed.
One tribe especially had a well developed language. This was the Chocktaw tribe. They were farmers and fishermen whole lived in the rich Mississippi valley in what is now the state of Alabama. When problems arose, Chocktaw leaders discussed them with the tribal chief. They sat in a circle and listened to the wisdom of the chief.
He heard the different proposals, often raising and lowering his head in agreement, and saying, "Okeh," meaning "it is so."
The Indian languages have given many words to English. Twenty four of the American States almost half, have Indian names, Okalahoma, the Dakotas, Idaho, Wisconsin, Ohio and Tennessee, to name a few. And the names of many rivers, streams, mountains, cities and towns are Indian.
However, there are many people who dispute the idea that "Okay" came from the In di ans. Some say the President Andrew Jackson first used the word "Okay." Others claim the word was invented by John Jacob Astor, a fur trader of the late 1700s who became one of the world's richest men. Still others say a poor railroad clerk made up this word. His name was Obadiah Kelly and he put his initials(首写字母), O.K. on each package people gave him to ship by train.
So it goes, each story sounds reasonable and official.
But perhaps the most believable explanation is that the word "Okay" was invented by a political organization in the 1800s. Martin Van Buren was running for President. A group of people organized a club to support him. They called their political organization the "Okay Club. The letters "O" and "K" were taken from the name of Van Buren's hometown, the place where he was born, old Kinderhook, New York.
There is one thing about "Okay" that the experts do agree on: that the word is pure American and that it has spread to almost every country on earth.
There is something about the word that appeals to peoples of every language. Yet, here in America it is used mostly in speech, not in serious writing. In recent time, "Okay" has been given an official place in the English language. But it will be a long time before Americans will officially accept two expressions that come from "Okay." There are "Oke" and "Okeydoke".
______different opinions as where the word "Okay" came from are mentioned in the text.
A．Four
B．Five
C．six
D．Three
______ is NOT written by Washington Irving.
A．The Sketch Book
B．Rip Van Winkle
C．The Legend of Sleep Hollow
D．The Autobiography
News Report
Randolph Chemical announced earlier today the selection of Michelle Brown as its new chief executive officer. Willard Strong, Chairman of the Board of Randolph Chemical, said, "We are delighted to have found someone of Michelle's caliber to lead our organization."
Michelle Brown brings to the table a reputation as a strict cost cutter. Prior to joining Randolph, Dr. Brown was CEO of Popovich Materials, where she reduced expenses by almost a third in her four-year tenure. Dr. Brown has a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Wyler College and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Porter University.
Industry analysts remain skeptical that she can turn around the company's ailing fortunes. After her selection was announced, company stock dropped 1.2 percent in one afternoon.
Randolph Chemical is a global technology-based company that manufactures and distributes plastics, chemicals, and agricultural products. Their search, which took eleven months, was conducted with the aid of Darren Consulting.
Memorandum from: Michelle Brown
TO: All Randolph Chemical employees
As you have probably heard, I will be assuming responsibility for leading Randolph Chemical effective Monday morning. I want to take a moment to reaffirm the commitment of Randolph Chemical and of myself as its new head to treating every single employee with the fairness and dignity that he or she deserves.
In the months to come I will be initiating steps to sell off those portions of our business in which we do not have the potential to become industry leaders, leaving us to focus on what we do best. Due to time constraints, we will not be commissioning a new study of all of our holdings. Instead, we will base decisions on current in-house performance figures derived from our ongoing review process.
This is the beginning of a long journey for all of us, one I am proud to say we will make together. I hope to meet as many of you as possible personally, and I urge you to become fully engaged in the process and to contribute your own ideas.
What was the subject of the news release by Randolph Chemical？
A．The selection of a new chief executive officer
B．The announcement of a new chairman of the board
C．The merger of Randolph Chemical and Popovich Materials
D．Recent trends in stock prices for chemical companies
Party Random Thoughts
Last night, pressured by well-intentioned friends, for the first time in months, I came out of writer's seclusion and attended a cocktail party which is another word for a social gathering. So there I was, trapped in a crowded room, people milling(乱转) all around me, each with a drink in hand, chitchatting while the waiters skillfully negotiated their way through the bustle with trays of colorful beverages and fancy hors d'oeuvres (小菜). It was definitely party time! Yet, instead of losing myself to the convivial (欢乐的) surroundings of food, drink and conversations, I found myself retreating back into my head all the way to China where the subject of American sociality is of great interest. In China, many of my students are curious about how Americans party and have a good time. "What do you do？ Sing and dance？ To what kind of music？ What's American party talk？ How do you dress and act at a party？ How about food？ What do you eat？"
Every year without fail, students ask their foreign teachers to dedicate a full class to this fascinating topic. Of course, one would think that a subject as interesting and entertaining as such would make for an excellent lesson plan, a rich source of discussions. But to my surprise, many teachers run into roadblocks (障碍) when generating this particular lesson plan. "Michelle, Michelle! I have to teach a class on American parties. And I only have, hmm, five things to say about it. And that I'll talk about five minutes. What am I supposed to do after that？" They cry. "Well, tell me what those five things are," I ask. "Arrive late, talk, eat, drink and have a blast." They blurt out. It is true that the five steps listed above encompass much of the goings-on at American social gatherings. Of course, during parties for special occasions such as birthdays, holidays, weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, graduations, etc., there are additional ceremonies such as cake cutting, gift opening, dancing, toasting, game-playing, etc. But regardless, the fundamentals of a typical American soiree (社交晚会)are good company, good food and drinks, and good times. Sounds simply, doesn't it？ But if you were to look deeper and think further, you'll realize that there's far more to these steps than meets the eyes. Fashionably Late
It is a major faux pas (social embarrassment) to arrive at a party early or even on time. Therefore, with the exception of the hosts, you never want to be the first person present at a social function. Why？ Because people fear that others may think that they have no life or nothing better to do than waiting for a party to start. Many Americans try to project an image of business which, whether true or not, has a positive correlation with success. So by arriving late, you are saying, "I lead a full life and it's exciting and productive." Therefore, an 8 o'clock party customarily doesn't really start until maybe 9 o'clock as everyone wants to be thought of as a busy and important person with lots to do. In other words, a party is one of those rare occasions where your punctuality can actually hurt you. Strange, isn't it？ Anyhow, remember, be fashionably late.
Small Talk
One way of gauging the success of a party is by the noise meter. The louder the party is, the mom happening it is, and the more fun people are having. Then you stop to wonder, if it's so noisy, how can people really hear each other and have great, engaging conversations？ The truth is, they don't. They engaged in small talk, which is another word for casual, trivial conversations. They chew the fat, shoot the breeze and swap anecdotes about random subjects: work, family, news, weather, hobbies, etc. Because the surrounding noise and activities often sidetrack people, it's difficult to get personal or discuss any one topic at length or in depth. The point is to have fun, not to get serious.
