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 Buren’s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”. 6. The author __________. [A] believes both of the stories [B] doesn’t believe a word of the stories [C] is not sure whether the stories are true [D] is telling the stories just for fun7. According to the passage, President Jackson __________. [A] couldn’t draw up any documents at all [B] didn’t like to read important papers by himself [C] often had his assistants sign documents for him [D] wasn’t good at reading, writing or spelling8. According to the first story, the term “OK” ___________. [A] was approved of by President Jackson [B] was the title of some official documents [C] was first used by President Jackson [D] was an old way to spell “all correct”9. According to the second story, the term “OK” __________. [A] was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club” [B] meant the place where President Van Buren was born [C] was the name of Van Buren’s club [D] was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election10. According to the second story, the term “OK” was first used _________. [A] by Van Buren [B] in a presidential election [C] to organize the Old Kinderhook Club [D] by the members of the “Old Kinderhook Club”Passage Two　　Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.　　For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes（施加）a constant（持续不断的）pressure and strain （负担）of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The student organizations are effective in ensuring that the students observe university regulations. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 11.
