4．It may be common knowledge that （61）whatBritish people call"football"is known as"soccer"in the US，and"colour"in British English goes （62）without the"u"in American English．But according to an infographic （图表）（63）made （make） recently by website Grammar Check，these are far from being the only （64）differences （different） between the two countries'use of English．
The infographic outlined 63of the main contrasts between British and American English，from the （65）more（much） well-known"lift/elevator"and"autumn/fall"to the less well-known"garden/yard"and"petrol/gasoline"．
Some of the vocabulary mismatches are （66）so different that two people in a conversation may fail to make （67）themselves （they） understood．For example，the two countries have different names for certain food．"Biscuits"and"sweets"in Britain （68）are known （know） as"cookies"and"candy"，respectively，in the US．
But while （69）getting（get） food names mixed up only causes confusion，some misunderstandings may even lead to （70）embarrassment （embarrass） if you're not careful．If a British man in the US is asked to show up to a party in"pants"，there's a chance that he might get a lot of stares from other guests．

11．To a large degree，the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment．In spite of what happened yesterday or last year，and what may or may not happen tomorrow，the present moment is where you are 一 always!
Without question，many of us have mastered the sensitive art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things 一 all at once．We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments so much，so that we end up anxious，frustrated，depressed，and hopeless．On the other hand，we also put off our satisfaction，our stated priorities （优先权），and our happiness，often convincing ourselves that"someday"will be much better than today．Unfortunately，the same mental power that tells us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that"someday"never actually arrives．John Lennon once said，"Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans．"When we're busy making"other plans"，our children are busy growing up，the people we love are moving away and dying，our bodies are getting out of shape，and our dreams are slipping away．In short，we miss out on life．
Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal （彩排）for some later date．It isn't，in fact，no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow．Now is the only time we have，and the only time that we have any control over．When our attention is in the present moment，we push fear from our minds．Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future-we won't have enough money，our children will get into trouble，we will get old and die，whatever．
To overcome fear，the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present．Mark Twain said，"I have been through some terrible things in life，some of which actually happened．I don't think I can say it any better．Practice keeping your attention on the here and now．Your effort will pay great dividends．"
