The old English language, or old English, is quite different from Modern English. If we do not study old English, we can 'understand it. Some of the words are the same, but many are not used now. The story of the En glish Ian guage beg ins some time after the year 400 AD. At this time, some people came to England from North-west Europe. There were many groups of people. They were called Angles 盎格鲁人）,Saxons （撒克逊 人）and Jutes （朱特人），whose Ianguage, old English, is like some of the modern Ianguage of North-West Europe. In old En glish, theending had many meanin gs. They showed past time and prese nt time and many other thin gs. In Moder n En glish, most of these endings are gone. This is the biggest differe nee betwee n Old and Moder n En glish.41.

It is easy for most En glish-speakers today to un dersta nd the Ian guage.C. Its words are completely differe nt from those Moder n En glish.D. It was spoke n by many groups of the people from North-West Europe.BPlants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because pla nts can make food from air ，water and sun light. Ani mals and man cannot make food from air ， water and sun light. Ani mals get their food by eat ing pla nts and other ani mals. Therefore animals and man needplants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the pla nts around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants ： flowering plants and non-floweringplants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one see ，some have two three or four ， and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. Anexample of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores （胚芽）。
