　　American and British people both speak English of course．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．

　　Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English．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”．When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later．”

　　There’re also some differences in grammar．For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “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 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 but their French is very different from the French of France．

Dr. Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish. It’s not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low. It’s not because they’re bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water. It’s because they’re smart.

“Fish are sensitive, they have personalities,” says the marine biologist. For Earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat. “I would never eat anyone I know personally.”

There’s a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human. They can remember things and learn from experience. Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether.

The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket. “While it may seem obvious that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables,” says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. “Really, it’s kind of a moral question. Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (or eating fish) more important than the pain of the fish?”

Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are doubtful. “I’ve never seen a smart fish,” says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant. “If they were very smart, they wouldn’t get caught.”

“For years, everyone’s been telling us to eat fish because it’s so good for us,” says another diner. “Now I’ve got to feel guilty while I’m eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don’t eat salad because cucumbers have feelings?”

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

    In fact，it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you．Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a girlfriend，a marketing company, a boss，a policeman or a criminal. Whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen — the 21st century equal to being caught naked (裸露的).

    Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though it's important to reveal (透露) yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. Actually few boundaries remain. The digital breadcrumbs (面包屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are，where you are and what you like. In some cases，a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

    The key question is: Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no”.

    When opinion polls (民意调查) ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic (悲观的) about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”

    But people say one thing and do another. Only a small part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费亭) to avoid using the EZ — Pass system that can track (跟踪) automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will submit personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).

But privacy does matter — at least sometimes. It’s like health; when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.

 

1... What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?

   A. There should be a distance even between friends.

   B. There should be fewer quarrels between friends.

   C. Friends should always be faithful to each other.

   D. Friends should open their hearts to each other.

2... Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”?

   A. There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.

   B. Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.

 C. People leave traces around when using modem technology.

   D. Modem society has finally developed into an open society.

3... What do most Americans do to protect privacy?

    A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.

    B. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.

    C. They rely more and more on electronic equipment.

    D. They use various loyalty cards for business deals.

4..．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that _________.

   A. criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology

   B. people tend to be more frank with each other in the information age

   C. in the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets

   D. people’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge

5..．According to the passage，privacy is like health in that _________.

A. its importance is rarely understood          B. it is something that can easily be lost

C. people will make every effort to keep it     D. people don’t treasure it until they lose it
