14、cow from the native Anglo-Saxon. The Norman French added about 10, 000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today. Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15, 000 French words! Between one-third and two

15、-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in French and English; only the pronunciation changes. Other words such as ballet or la carte retain their French pronunciation in both languages. In French grammar, nouns have either a male or fema

16、le gender, so adjectives（形容词） take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word blond describes someone with light-colored hair.

The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has

24、 been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations. The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from tryi

25、ng to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then youre good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road.
