It is said that English language came into being around fifth century, which is termed to be "Old English." Old English period did not die away untill 11th century when William the Conqueror arrived in England and was crowned to be the King of England. Since then, Middle English has taken its shape and developed. Middle English gradually disappeared when the printing house started to publish books. People began to regulate the spelling and grammar rules for a wider readership. Since 1475 when the frist printing house was established, English has come into a period scholars called "Early Modern English." It is a historical period when great number of writers bloomed such as Christopher Marlow, Francis Bacon, Wyat, Shakespeare, Spencer. Also, in their works we still can find the traces of Middle English. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, when Quince says in his prologue that "This beauteous lady Thisby is certain" and that "This grisly beast which lion hight by name/ The trusty Thisbe coming first by night," the words "certain" and "hight" are used in meaning of Middle English which have the meaning "to be called" in Contemporary English. The Early Modern English fades away in the late 18th century when Modern English paved its way into social development. Contemporary English that we are using today did not come until after WW II.

ing solutions, and Des was appointed managing director.

The company’s main contract was with Dank plc a large industrial conglomerate.

In the course of its research activity, Clean Ltd’s scientists developed a new super glue. Des was very keen to pursue the manufacture of the glue but the board of directors overruled him and decided that the company should stick to its core business.

The managing director of Dank plc is a friend of Des’s and has told him that Dank plc will not be renewing its contract with Clean Ltd as he is not happy with its performance. He also told Des that he would be happy to continue to deal with him, if only he was not linked to Clean Ltd.

Following that discussion Des resigned from his position as managing director of Clean Ltd and set up his own company, Flush Ltd which later entered into a contract with Dank plc to replace Clean Ltd. Flush Ltd also manufactures the new glue discovered by Clean Ltd’s scientists, which has proved to be very profitable.

created to web giant Yahoo. The deal is reported to be worth up to 30 million dollars and includes a position working on Yahoo s future mobile projects. Nick D Aloisio, 17, started his Summly app (應用軟件)when he was just 15. He was studying for school exams and became frustrated at ploughing through lengthy online articles. He created the app to summarize long reports so that people could more easily understand the content. Yahoo s boss of mobile content development Adam Cahan said: " It started with an insight that we live in a world of constant information and need new ways to simplify how we find the stories that are important to us, at a glance." Nick taught himself to write software when he was 12 years old. He developed the bulk of his Summly app in his bedroom. He launched his app when he was 15 and it soon attracted over 1.5 million dollars of investment, including from Hollywood stars Ashton Kutcher and Stephen Fry. The purchase by Yahoo makes the British teen one of the world s youngest self-made millionaires. He believes his connection with Yahoo is perfect, saying: "To me, Yahoo is the best company to be joining right now because it s one of these classic Internet companies. With new leadership from Marissa Mayer, Yahoo has a strong focus on mobile and product, and that s the perfect match for Summly." He says his parents will help him manage the financial windfall (飛來之財)but that he was not driven to the deal by dollar signs. "Technology has really been the driver behind this whole deal," he said. "I cant wait to see how it plays out at Yahoo."

The British teenager has______ .

A．set up a software company

B．saved Yahoo from its decline

C．become wealthy with his app

D．developed a new model of mobiles
