comes from a Hindi word, khaki comes from Urdu, and ketchup was borrowed from Chinese. Words from African
languages, too, made their ways into English when African slaves served in the United States. The result of all of
this absorption of new words is a very rich vocabulary that allows users of English to express subtlety of meaning
through their choice of words.

to Europe since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says in
English "check"; when the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says "check mate". These words
come from Persian. "Shah mat" means "the king is dead". That is the game is over and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For
example, at one time the queen could only more one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board.
It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds
of people. You don't have to be champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the
same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess
masters are able to play many people at the same tine. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said
that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.

Text 2.
In the very distant geological past all animals were aquatic. The very first vertebrates, or animals with backbones,
of which we have any fossil record, lived in the water. These vertebrates, the fish, were adapted to underwater
living. Their streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction: they had muscular tails so that
they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water; and they were endowed with gills for breathing
underwater.
Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on land. As
amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never became completely free
of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to lay their eggs.
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers appeared;
these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals. They were more completely converted for land
dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish. With these special adaptations,
19
mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high mountains, often far removed
from the sea.
