(2023·江苏苏州统考)One day,Hilary Krieger was sitting in her parents' home when her friend accidentally squirted (向……喷射) himself with an orange slice. “Oh,the orange just orbisculated,”she said. “It did what?”asked her friend. “I've never
heard such a word.” The two made a five-dollar bet,and Hilary gleefully grabbed the family dictionary. She quickly turned to the “O” section, but she didn't find it. Then she burst into her dad's study and told him the shocking news:“Orbisculate” was not in the dictionary!
Looking embarrassed,her father confessed that he had made up the word when in college. He defined “orbisculate” as the action that happens “when you dig your spoon into a grapefruit and it squirts juice directly into your eyes”,though the family also applied it to other fruits and vegetables that unexpectedly sprayed. “We have been using it in our whole lives, as if it were a real word,”Hilary says.
Out five dollars and wondering what other fake words might exist in her vocabulary,Hilary was mad. But she quickly came to see her dad's made-up word as a gift,one that revealed his naughty and inventive spirit. “It speaks to his creativity and the idea that even when something's painful and annoying, like getting grapefruit juice in your eyes, you can laugh and have fun with it,” she says.
Two decades later,Hilary told that funny story again and again in sad circumstances. Her father,Neil Krieger,died at age 78.“‘Orbisculate’ is such a great word that I dream it should be in the dictionary!”says Hilary. To get the word officially recognized,Hilary set up a website, orbisculate.com, encouraging people to use “orbisculate” in a wide variety of contexts.
Getting a word into the dictionary isn't easy,but words describing concrete phenomena that affect many people tend to get picked up. “That's one of the situations ‘orbisculate’ is going through — there is no single word that captures the squirting in the eye that certain fruits do,”senior editor of the Merriam-Webster,Emily Brewster, says. “The word's status as an established member of the English language would be pretty undeniable.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Hilary的父亲自创的orbisculate一词并讲述了Hilary希望该词被收录到词典中的梦想。

We all know that unpleasant feeling when we're talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we're interrupted. But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.
Using a set of controlled audio clips (录音片段),Hilton surveyed 5,000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people's perceptions of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.
Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two distinct groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people to speak one after another in conversation.
The differences in conversational styles became evident when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group
perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时的)chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.
“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”

DIALECTS RETAIN IDENTITY
Many cultures use different words or pronunciations for the same thing. 3 Many times,exact translations are impossible.For example,one language may have a specific word for something,while another does not. If each language were standardized with the same set of words and pronunciations,cultures would lose their identities.
