     Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big ambition-to play the drums in a band. But
one big obstacle lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but
she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating
drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a
kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.
    One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space,
because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
    With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball
connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备) and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the
machine, and played those drums like a wild child.
    It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her
space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame
spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally,
Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a
band.
    Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those
old people next - door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''

1. Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?

A. Because she didn't want others to hear her play.

　　The Channel Islands are a group of British - owned islands lying in the English Channel (海峡) , 10 to 30 miles off the French coast, and 70 to 90 miles from the English coast. There are ten islands with a total land area of 75 square miles and a total population of 123, 000. The three largest islands, Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney, have long been known for the fine breeds (品种) of cattle that are raised on them and named after them.

　　In earliest known history the islands were considered part of Normandy, which was part of France, but the ruler of Normandy became king of England in 1066, and from then on the islands were looked upon as British land. English control was unbroken until World War Ⅱ, when the Germans held the islands for five years.

　　Although people on the islands speak both languages and they are considered English, their customs are more French than English.

American English and British English

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

　　The British usually use “have 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.

　　Finally, there are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, for example, check (US)/cheque (UK); center (US)/centre (UK). Many American words ending in “or” such as honor, vigor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our” like honour, vigour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize” or “izing” forms, such as organize, realizing, are spelt in British English with “ise” or “ising” like organise, realising. In American English, “practice” is used as both a verb and a noun. In British English, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice”. And in the main, American English avoids the doubling up of consonants(辅音字母) in nouns and verbs while British English does not. In American English, for example, one writes “travel, traveled, traveling, traveler” while in British English one writes “travel, travelled, travelling, traveller”.

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

1．The American hardly say ________.

[　　]

A．Good-bye, have a good day!

B．Glad to know you!

C．Hi!

D．Have you got a car?

2．An Englishman writes ________.
