       The English language we know today is about six hundred years old. For half that time, English was
  just language of the people living in England. The modem English language grew from about the year
  1400. Now English is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is one of the working languages at
   International meetings, business, science and in other fields.
       The differences between American English and British English are not very great. Written English is
  more or less the same in both Britain and America, though there are some spelling differences. For
  example, centre, licence, colour and travelled are spelt center, license, color and traveled in American
  English. In America, "cock, rubber, ill, holiday, lorry and post" are called "rooster, eraser, sick, vacation,
  truck, mail". But people from the two countries can still understand each other easily.
       There are only a very small number of differences in grammar between American English and British
  English. Some words may have two kinds of pronunciation. You may wonder "Which is correct?" The
  answer is that it doesn't matter. But you should speak either American English or British English. Don't try
   to speak both at the same time!

     As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up.  There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its
simple beauty,  it was very happy.  Around it were other dewdrops,  some on the same leaf and some on
other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
     Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
     The  wind  blew  and  the plant began to shake,  tipping  (使倾斜)  the leaf . The  dewdrop  became
frightened as it started to move towards the edge (边缘)of the leaf. Why was this happening? Things were comfortable. Things were safe. Why did they have to change? Why? Why?
     The dewdrop  reached  the edge of th e leaf.  It was sure that this was the end.  The day had only just
begun and the end had come so quickly. It seemed so unfair. It seemed so meaningless. It tried hard to do whatever it could to stay on the leaf, but it was no use.
     Finally, it fell. Below there was a mirror. A reflection of the dewdrop seemed to be coming up to meet
it.  Closer and closer they came together until finally.., the small dewdrop became a part of the great pond (池塘). Now the dewdrop was no more, but it was not destroyed. 
     It had become one with the whole.
