The problem is because its just,you know,OK.The word is OK,perhaps,but its history is definitely better than average.Late etymologist Allen Walker Read traced the two-letter word to 1839,when editors at the Boston Morning Post signed off on articles as “all correct” with a simple word OK.The word made it into print on March 23 of that year,during an article against a rival editor in Providence who had stated wrongly that a band of Bostonians heading to New York would pass through the Rhode Island capital.We said not a word about our team passing through the city of Providence,the Morning Post reported.O.K.all correct.The humor of the Providence-Boston joke has been lost to historybut the word OK took off from there,soon connoting（隐含）agreement,acceptance,averageness,quality or likability.By 1840,it served as a slogan for President Martin Van Burens unsuccessful reelection campaign.Old Kinderhook is OK,posters stated,a reference to the eighth presidents birthplace and his supporters belief in his satisfactory performance.8、Why did Henry Nass hand out cards?ATo let people understand the history of the word OK.BTo call on people to use the word OK properly.CTo appeal to people to celebrate OK Day.DTo attract peoples attention.9、What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 4?AThe history of the word OK is known to average people.BThe history of the word OK is unfamiliar to people.CPeople frequently use the word OK in history.DPeople are fond of the word OK in history.10、What does the underlined phrase took off in Paragraph 7 probably mean?AGot offBSet upCMoved

Sneaker Culture is organized by the Bata Shoe Museum,whose aims are to explore the social history,technical innovations,fashion trends,and marketing campaigns that have shaped sneaker culture over the

Disorder.Also featured are sneakers by Prada and other major fashion design houses and designers,as well as those made in cooperation with artists including Damien Hirst and Shantell Martin.After
