As technology develops, many online learning tools continue to change the way students learn. Apps are typical digital learning tools. The content (內(nèi)容) is 【1】 and personalized (個(gè)性化的) to meet your level of knowledge and interest. Better yet, apps keep updating and offering the 【2】 resources (資源). TED, this free app is a great tool for those who are interested 【3】 public speaking. It has collected a lot of talks from the world's most famous thinkers, leaders and 【4】 . There's a short introduction for each talk so 【5】 you can get the main idea in advance (提前). You can watch talks by subject, and download them to watch offline.

Some of them are obvious (明顯的): Tom is short for Thomas; Sam is short for Samuel. 【2】 Take the name William as an example. It can be shortened to Will, and also Bill. 【3】 During the Middle Ages, people liked to change letters to make names easier to pronounce. For example, a hard consonant (輔音) like Bis clearer than soft ones like W. Bill sounds much clearer than Will. Interestingly, the people of England even called King Wiliam III, who ruled in the 17th century, "King Billy".

Richard has also been a popular name in England for centuries. It was commonly shortened to Richand Rick to save time. 【4】 So Rick became Dick. This nickname became so popular that it included in an idiom. "Every Tom, Dick and Harry" means everybody!

【5】 England has had eight king Henrys. Yet most of them preferred to be called Harry. It is a tradition that continues today. The British Prince Harry's real name is Henry. I wonder if Harry Potter's real name is Henry.

A.We also have nicknames.

B.But how does Bill come from William?

C.The most popular name for English kings has been Henry.

D.Also, like the name William, people liked to make rhyming names.

E.Yet there are some nicknames whose origins are more mysterious.

M: I do, too. 【1】 Look at that guy over there, he is sitting on two seats.

W: Yes. But if you ask for a seat, they usually will give one to you.

M: Yeah. 【2】 They are like door keepers.

W: Yes, especially when there are a lot of people behind you but you just can't get through them and get on or get off quickly.

M: Oh, what's even worse is when you trying to get off the train and people who want to get on won't wait until you get off. 【3】

W: Oh, look! There is a woman holding a baby on the other end. 【4】

M: There are more kind and polite people anyway. I love the subway.

W: 【5】 I feel warm and happy when I see people help each other.

A.And a guy is giving up his seat for her.

B.And I hate it when you retrying to get on the train and the passengers who are blocking the doors won't move out of the way.

C.But it really annoys me when people keep more than one seat.

D.First get off and then get on!

E.Neither do I.
