People all over the world know Wimbledon as the centre of lawn tennis.
In 1874 it was a country village, but it was the home of the All England Croquet Club. The Club had been there since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and enjoyed it, but the national championships did not attract many people. So the Club had very little money.
"This new game of lawn tennis seems to have plenty of action (精彩场面), and people like watching it," they thought. "Shall we allow people to play lawn tennis on some of our beautiful croquet lawns?"
In 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis championships (men's singles).
Wimbledon grew. There was some surprise and doubt, of course, when the Club allowed women to play in the first women's singles championship in 1884. But the ladies played well—even in long skirts that hid their legs and feet. Until 1907 the winners, both men and women, were always British, but since 1936 the victory has usually gone to an American or an Australian. British people were very happy when an English girl, Ann Jones, won the championship in 1969.

A.a country village
B.the home of an unusual croquet club

They【C6】______the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who【C7】______the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the people【C8】______and are not exclusive【C9】______of a limited class.
On the other hand, our language【C10】______a multitude of words which are comparatively【C11】______used in ordinary conversation.

W: That's not easy.
M: Yes, I know. Just tell me what you think.
W: Actually I think once you show everyone how well you did as junior class monitor, you will win easily.
M: How could I do that? Meet with all two hundred people who are members of the student union?
W: Come on, what I'm thinking of first is hanging campaign posters in all the hallways, for most students are sure to see them.
M: That sounds good, but everyone puts up posters. Can we do it in a different way?
W: Of course we have some other ways. You know the campus radio station, right? You may give a speech there. I'm sure lots of students will be listening then.
M: That's a good idea. How can I make it?
W: Well, I have a friend working as a director there. We may ask him for help.
M: Terrific. I really don't know how to thank you.
W: Ok, Ok, just forget it. We've a lot of things to do. You'd better come up with a speech pretty quickly.
