England is one of the countries___________ people drive on the left．

      A．that                  B．what                 C．which              D．where

Why does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but there’s no doubt that Napoleon was a major influence. The French had used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, followed their left-hand tradition.
The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand rivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic traveled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift to the right. A driver would sit on the rear (后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they traveled on the right.
One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (one reason, stated in 1908; the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially… if there is a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the western world’s few remaining holdouts. Several Asian countries, including Japan, use the left as well — thought many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.

Get used to small spaces. The United States is not only a huge country but also has big cars ,houses and spaces.  1.  Houses, apartments , cars and appliances are all smaller than what you are accustomed to, so you have to get used to smaller things.

Accept jokes.  2.  Bantering and taking the mickey are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Teasing someone is a common way to show friendship .As one Briton put it,“ You never make fun of someone you don’t like.

Get used to the driving. The British drive on the left side of the road . 3.  Also the cars in the UK have the steering wheel(方向盘)on the right side, so you need get used to this as well. Be especially careful with your turns and remember that right turns in the UK cross opposite traffic in the same way that left turns do in the Us and other countries that drive on the right.

 4.   The British use different words and pronounce words differently .Look

around on the Internet or buy books about words and expressions used in Britain.

There’s more to the UK than London. London is an excellent city and the most popular in the Untied Kingdom.   5.  And the green countryside is a defining feature of the UK , which is something that should be explored.
