There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting. The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell. So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while，he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York. Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.28．The author____________.A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC. is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun29．According to the passage, President Jackson__________.A. couldn’t draw up any documents at allB. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC. often had his assistants sign documents for himD.wasn’t good at reading，writing or spelling30．According to the first story, the term “OK”____________.A. was approved of by President JacksonB. was the title of some Official documentsC. was first used by President JacksonD. was an old way to spell “all correct”31．According to the second story, the term “OK” was first used __________.A. by Van BurenB. in a presidential electionC. to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD.by the members of the ‘‘Old Kinderhook Club” When he was driving home one evening on a country road, he saw an old lady, stranded(拋錨的) on the side of the road. He stopped in front of her car and got out. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. He looked poor and hungry. He knew how she felt. He said’ “I am here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Joe.”She had a flat tire(輪胎). Joe crawled under the car, changed the tire. But he got dirty and his hands hurt. She could not thank him enough and asked him how much she owed him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the help they needed, and Joe added, “And think of me.”She drove off. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in. The waitress had a sweet smile, and was nearly eight months pregnant(懷孕) The old lady wondered how someone like her who seemed poor could be so kind to a stranger. Then she remembered Joe. After the lady finished her meal, the waitress went to get her change from a hundred-dollar bill. But she stepped right out the door.When the waitress came back, she noticed something written on a napkin(餐巾), “I am helping you because someone once helped me.
