33．The English language is different from any other language．Yet English words do not stay the same．The language is always changing．We need new words for new inventions and new ideas．Different words come into use，or older words are used in a new way．
English can change by borrowing words from other languages， "tomato" was borrowed from Mexico，the word "coffee" came from Turkey，and "tea" came from China．Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries，too．
New words are also made by adding two words together． "Postman" and "grandfather" are words made up of two parts．
Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words．The word "photo" was made from photograph by cutting off the end of the longer word． "Plane" was made by cutting off the front part of airplane． "Smog" was made by using only the first two and last two letters from the words "smoke" and "fog"．
The names of people and products can become new words．Our sandwich was named after a man named "Sandwich"．

34．Today，roller-skating is easy and fun．But a long time ago，it wasn't easy at all．Before 1750，no one had any ideas of roller-skating．That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin．He liked to make things and play the violin（小提琴） in his free time．Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams．People called him a dreamer．
One day Merlin was invited to a party．He was very pleased and a little excited．As the day of the party came near，Merlin began to think how to make an amazing entrance at the party．He had an idea．He thought everyone at the party would show much interest if he could skate into the room．
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll．Finally，he decided to put two wheels under each shoe．These were the first roller skates．Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin．
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin．Everyone was very surprised to see him．There was just one problem．Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates．He rolled on and on．Suddenly，he ran into a huge mirror（镜子） that was hanging on the wall．The mirror fell down，breaking into pieces．Merlin's idea was so good that nobody forgot his special entrance for a long time．But could he find out a way to stop his roller skates？
