If a Chinese comes to England and wants to drive his car there, he must know the English rules of the road and the English traffic signs．One rule is that he must always drive on the left．Another rule is that he mustn’t drive faster than thirty mph through town and villages．If he does not pay attention to this speed limit, the police will soon be after him．The third rule is that cars on the main road have right of way．It is not easy to drive in London, because the traffic is so busy and buses and trucks sometimes block the roads．It is much less difficult to find your way if you go by one of the red buses or the underground．There are bus stops at every street corner．And if you cannot find one, ask a policeman．He will help you at once．

The United States is mainly an English－speaking country. The great number of population(人口) speaks English as their native language. Business, education and most publish aspects(方面) of life are conducted in English. Across the country, people pronounce English sounds in several different ways and some regional(地区) differences in word spelling exist, but for the most part, Americans speak one common language. This language is sometimes called American English.
However, not everyone in the US is a native speaker of English. Most of the persons coming into the country are speakers of other languages. There are hundreds of communities around the US where English is not the most commonly used language. Chinese, Italian, German, American, Greek, Vietnamese and French are all spoken in a great number of communities in the United States. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language after English in the US. It is widely spoken in New York and across the southern part of the country.
For speakers of other languages, learning English is important, but traditionally(传统上), teaching people to speak English as a second language was given little attention. Non－English speakers were expected to “pick up” the language through getting in touch with people in public. Recently, this has changed. Today, most large public schools and community colleges have ESL, English as a Second Language, programs. American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will be using it. Therefore, ESL programs teach different English lessons to different students. Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public.

A. English.
B. American English.
C. English and Spanish.
D. English and lots of other languages

A. master(without difficulty)
B. do one's best to study

"TV is not judgmental 17 difficult, so people with 18 social skills or resources for other activities can engage in it," Robinson and UM colleague Steven Martin write in the December issue of the journal Social Indicators Research.
They add, " 19 , chronic unhappiness can be socially and personally debilitating（使人衰弱的） and can interfere with work and most social and personal activities, but even the unhappiest people can click a remote and be passively 20 by a TV."
