　　　　When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or　　 for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For　　 I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story　　 than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember　　 the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For　　 instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the　　 story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and　　 cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in　　 the speech of a 13 character.

　　 Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and　　 so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心)　　 about the language.

Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent　　 copying is a help to 25 by heart.

　　The President's helpers work in office buildings. But the President does his work in the White House. This is where he and his family live. A few lucky children have called the White House “home” for a while.

　　All of our Presidents except George Washington have lived in the White House. Americans are proud of this fine building.

　 1. American and British people use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is “Hi”. In Britain it is “Hello!” or “How are you?”. “Hi!” is creeping(不知不觉地进入) into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you.” The British say, “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you.” When Americans say “Good-bye”, they nearly always add, “Have a good day.” or “Have a good trip.” to friends and strangers alike. Britons are already beginning to use “Have a good day.”

　 2. The British usually use “got” in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do.

　　 Am. E: Do you have a car, room, etc.? Yes, I do.

　　 Br. E: Have you got a car, room, etc.? Yes, I have.

3. There are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e.g. check(USA) / cheque (UK). Many American words ending in “or”, e.g. honor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our,” e.g. honour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize” or “izing” forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in Br. E with “ise” or “ising”, e.g. organise, realising. In American English, “practice” is used both for the verb and noun. In Br. E, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice.” In American English, one writes “traveler,” while in British English, one writes “traveller”.　

4. It was once predicted that British and American English would become separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links(联系) between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上地), and probably culturally(文化上地) too, they are closer together than ever.

40. The Americans hardly say “_____”

A. Good-bye. Have a good day!　　B. Glad to know you! 　 C. Hi!　　D. Have you got a car?

A.There are lots of differences in spelling between Am. E and Br. E.

B.Why do the Americans and the British use different spellings?

C.There are few differences in spelling between Am. E and Br. E.
