根据短文内容,判断句子正误。正确的写“A”，不正确的写“B”(5分)
American English and British English are very different. Sometimes this difference is so big that the two seem like different languages!
Some words in British English mean things that are different in American English. For example a “raincoat” (American English) is called a “Mackintosh” in British English. But in America, a mackintosh is a kind of computer.
Most American sayings (谚语) mean nothing to the British. For example, Americans like to say, “Wake up and smell the coffee” which means “wake up and face reality（现实）”. But the British think it is silly-they do not drink coffee in the morning. Instead, most of them drink tea.
Of course, the two languages are the same in many ways. To “call” someone (American English) is to “ring” somebody in Britain. The two languages borrow from each other a lot. But for foreign students learning English, there can be many problems. After all, American English and British English have, over the years, become so different. Foreign students often learn British English, come to the USA, and cannot understand any American English! So you must ask yourself—where do I want to go in the future – America or England? If it is England, you should learn British English. But if you want to study in America, try learning as much true American English as possible. Watch American movies, listen to American songs, read books written in American English, and talk with an American accent (口音) — not a British one!

As we all know，American and British people both speak English．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact，there are some important differences between British English and American English．

First of all，they sound very different．Often，Americans don't say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know．” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However，the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．

Words sometimes have different meanings too．Some American words are never used in England．The same thing is true of some British words in America．For example，the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different．Americans drive trucks，but in England people drive lorries．

Many expressions are also different in the two countries．In England，if you are going to telephone your friends，you “phone them up”．In America，you “give them a call”．

There're also some differences in grammar．For example，Americans usually use the helping verb（助动词）“do” when they ask a question．They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb．They say “Have you a storybook?”

All these differences can be confusing（易混淆的）if you are learning English．But most languages are like this，Languages change over time．When people live in separate places，the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．

   American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.

   You should say “Thank you” when someong passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thankyou” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

   “Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say behind you, you know that someone wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to break (打断)others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say“Excuse me” first, and then begin talking.
