【题目】 At times we all get angry when we are driving. It might be because we are stuck in a traffic jam or stuck behind a very s1 driver. It might be because we think another driver has done something very stupid and dangerous. Whatever the reason, it seems that getting angry in a car is something which happens more and more often and there is now a special term f2 it: 'road rage'(路怒症). Some experts even think that road rage is a kind of mental illness! How can we recognize this 'illness' of road rage? There are two kinds of road rage: aggressive (攻击性的) driving and aggressive reactions to the way other people are driving. Aggressive driving can take different f3 : Driving much faster than the speed limit.

Increasing your speed very quickly.

Driving very close behind the car in front and sounding the horn (喇叭) or flashing the headlights.

Changing lanes very suddenly and b4 another car.

Moving into a parking space where another car is trying to park.

There are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. These include:

Making rude signs at people.

Shouting at people and threatening them.

Deliberately (蓄意地) driving into another person's car.

Hitting somebody.

Using a weapon such as a baseball bat, or even a gun or a knife.

Road rage is c5 not a joke. There have been incidents (事件) of road rage which have led to serious injuries and even murder. Experts think that one reason for road rage is that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving such as car chases where this kind of driving seems to be positive. Experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious e6. Experience shows that driving problems can be controlled, but it takes a long time. In the UK in the last 30 years, the police have been quite successful in r7 the number of people who drink and drive. They are now working to stop people using mobile phones when they are driving. Let's hope they can have the same success with road rage.

【题目】 The people in the USA and England both speak English of course. But there are some important differences between ①________ English and ________ 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.” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.

Sound__is__not__the__only__difference__between__British__English__and__American__English.Words sometimes have different meaningstoo. 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. There're also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question.

But the British often leave out the helping verb. 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. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French.③ 但是他们的法语和法国的法语不一样。
