(A) You probably know that some English words came from French. One interesting thing is that when we talk about meat on our table we use English words. For example a pig is called “pig” when it is living, but when it is killed and its meat is brought to the table, it is called “pork”. Cattle are called “cattle” when they are raised in the field, but at the di er table, we call the meat “beef”. When the Norma ruled England, the English peasants were ordered to raise animals for food, but they themselves could not buy the meat. The meat was sent to the Norman tables. The peasants could only eat ra its, because ra its ran all over their fields and ra it meat is cheap. So the meat of ra it was not changed into a French word. It was called “ra it” by English peasants of that time and is still called “ra it” today. ( )1. According to this text, we know that the words “______” came from French. A. ra it and pork B.
