There are many differences between British English and American English.I used to teach a course about the differences between the two.We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language.We have examples of the same words having very different meanings,differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things.Here are some examples.

A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK.Crisps in the UK,are known as chips,but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US.In the UK,a pie can be made from either meat or fruit,while in the US pies are normally made from fruit;pot pies are made from meat.Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US,not pounds and ounces.

One very obvious (明显的) difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on.Petrol in the UK is gas in the US.The place where we fill up our cars,in the UK,is a garage;while in the US,it’s a gas station.The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house.In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.

An elevator in the US is called a lift here,and the first floor in the US,is called the ground floor here,so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.

I could continue with this.There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language.With so many differences,no wonder it’s hard to understand each other well.

6.The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in________.

A.vocabulary                     B.grammar

C.sound                        D.spelling

A.a driver from the US              B.a cook from the US

C.a teacher from the UK             D.a gas station worker from the UK

8.In the author’s opinion,________.

A.language differences don’t affect understanding

B.the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellings

C.there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the future

D.it is impossible that some Americans get off on the wrong floor in British hotels

9.What can we learn from the passage?

A.“Elevator” is commonly used in the UK.

B.Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US.

C.In the UK,things are measured in pounds and ounces.

D.British and American people drive on the same side of the road.

      Lucy, Robert and Jenny are studying in Bright High School. Here are their letters to a magazine.
Always wear a seat belt (带)
     I'm writing to tell you and all the readers how a seat belt can save your life. Last week I was
in the back of my mum's car when I noticed that my door was not shut properly. I pushed it
open so that I could shut it hard. But we went round a corner, and I fell through the open door.
I was hanging out of the car above the road. The only thing that kept me in was my seat belt.
Mum heard me screaming and she stopped the car and helped me back in. Although I was very
shocked, I was not badly hurt. So my message is: Always wear a seat belt.

Father's Day 
     Next Monday is Father's Day, and this year I want to give my dad a very special present. I
think my dad is the best. He's always there for me when I need his help.
     This summer he ran in the London Marathon to raise money for the poor students in the
country. The Marathon is a very long run, and he hurt his leg when he was only half way. But
he kept going until the end of the run. My brother and I felt very proud of him. If this letter is
printed in the magazine, it will be my special present for him. 
                                                                                                           Robert Brown (14)

Why does my brother say this?
     I can't understand my brother! Our teachers are going to give us a test at school on Monday,
so my brother and I have done some revision (复习) this weekend. But when his friends asks,
"Have you done any work for the test?" He says, "No. I've done nothing." Do all boys do this, or
is it just my brother? I'm not afraid to say I worked hard, so why is he?
