Q Reading can be a social activity.Think of the people who belong to book groups.They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them.Now,the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group. Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book.Then the person leaves it in a public place,hoping thar the book will have an adventure,traveling far and wide with each new reader whe finds it. Bruce Pederson,the managing director of BookCrossing,says,"The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read.BookCrossing combines both." Members leave books on park benches and buses,in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. People who find a book can also leave a lournal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where tneir books have been found.Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

Surprisingly,"jack fruit"isn't a person's name at all.The fruit's name driginally.comes from the southern Indian word chakka pazham,with India thought to be the fruit's'place or origin.Hortuguese explorers who journeyed to this region went on to call it jack,which leads us to the current English name of jack fruit,according to National Puohc RadioRUnfortunately,no one called Jack has been proven to be involved at any point in this process. There is another food,however,that was directly named after a personthe sandwich.In the 8th century,playing card games late into the night became fashionable in British high society.John Montagu. the 4th Earl of Sandwich.started the habit of ordering pieces of cold beef between two pieces of bread in order to get a late-night snack without having to leave the gaming table or use a knife and tork. This newly-created snack kept hands elean-so eard players could continue on without dirtying their cards. The midnight snack quickly became popular among everyday people,and before long everyone was making their own sandwiches.That is how the sandwich was invented and got its name. Away from the world of food,there are more examples of names inspired by people.Long johns,the warm trousers that keep us warm in winter,are said to have been named after the US boxer John L.Sullivan who took to wearing a similar type of garment in the ring(比赛)， There are many other interesting etymologies()in the English language like these.So the next time you find an interesting name,why not explore its history too? 12.What does the underlined word"overwhelmed"in the first paragraph probably mean?
