Fr late 19th-century Nrth Americans and Eurpeans, a display f tableware (餐具)culd reveal much abut smene’s scial psitin, as the wealthy tk great care t get different kinds f frks fr everything. Befre the 18th century, peple f all classes usually ate with a knife and a spn.
The frk’s path t the table was hard-wn and slw. In ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rme, frks were used fr slicing fd int pieces r lifting meat frm a pt r fire.
Fllwing a reductin in size, the frk appeared t have entered dining areas in the curts f the Middle East and Byzantine Empire by the eighth and ninth centuries, and became cmmn amng wealthy families there by the tenth century. Early in the 11th century, it appeared in varius pieces f Eurpean art. In the late 11th century, St.Peter Damian frm Ostia wrte abut a Byzantine princess wh used frks and regarded her dying f a disease as punishment fr such “luxury”.
The frk’s slw cnquest f Eurpe was carried ut frm Italy. Mtivated by the same cncerns fr hygiene(卫生)，frks were bught by wealthy Britns，inspired by Queen Victria, wh regarded frk use as a sign f gd manners.
The frk’s intrductin t Nrth America dates back t 1633, when Jhn Winthrp, a funder f the Massachusetts Bay Clny, was gifted a set f frks. The Industrial Revlutin strengthened the frk’s presence n dining rm tables as prductin f flatware became less expensive. Writing in 1896 inScial Eriquere，Maud C. Cke declared the frk had finally cnquered the knife in America and “any attempt t give the knife imprtance at table is lked upn as an ffense(冒犯)against gd taste.”

“There are mre peple actively learning a language thrugh DuLing than in the entire US public schl system.” says Luis vn Ahn, funder f the free language learning app. Since its launch (投放市场) in 2012, mre than 30 millin peple have dwnladed (下载) the app, which gamified educatin and attracted many language learners.
The grwth f technlgy fr educatinal use has changed the way in which peple learn and receive educatin. This is particularly true fr languages, an area in which the explsin f mbile apps and interactive sftware has prvided chices t a range f peple wh were previusly unable t receive freign language educatin.
Vn Ahn says that when he funded DuLing he decided t find a way fr peple t learn a language fr free. Free use f languages was smething he had a persnal interest in addressing: he grew up in Guatemala, where he was surrunded by peple all trying t learn English, half f whm were failing t d s and a lt f whm culd nt affrd it.
One f the big changes caused by tech is the change in language learners. Languages have lng been cnnected with the rich peple, but nw peple frm less rich backgrunds are finding affrdable ways t learn.
Vn Ahn says an unexpected result f DuLing being an app is that it’s attracting an unlikely type f user. DuLing was designed (设计) t be like a game and what the cmpany has fund is that many users aren’t even necessarily diehard language fans, they’re just lking fr an educatinal way t kill sme time.
“They’re still prcrastinating frm smething else, but at least it’s smewhat useful.” says Vn Ahn, “The truth f the matter is that learning a language takes mnths r years. We have t find a way t keep them interested and that’s where the gamificatin came in.”
12. What can we say abut DuLing after its launch?
A. It is used by entire US schls.B. It csts 30 dllars t dwnlad.
C. It changes the use f languages.D. It makes educatin mre enjyable.
13. Why des the authr mentin Vn Ahn in paragraph 3?
A T shw his pverty in childhd.
B. T explain why he funded the app.
C. T prve he was interested in the app.
D. T find ut hw he designed the app.
14. What change des DuLing bring t language learners?
A They can master a language faster.B. They becme language fans ttally.
C. They can learn in a lw-cst way.D. They can nw use it t kill sme time.
15. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Reasns fr Learning a Language
B. Hw t Learn a Language Online
C. The Develpment f a Language App
D. Mastering a Language with DuLing
