21、an English are almost the same. But there are slight differences between British and American English in vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling and grammar. The first difference between British and American English is in vocabulary. Almost all of the words used in British English and American English a
22、re exactly the same. Only a very small number of words are used disparately. For example, Americans would say “apartment”, but the British would say “flat” to talk about the place where they live. In addition to some common words, many idiomatic（惯用的） expressions are different. In England people migh
23、t say “Ill ring you up tonight”, but in the US, people might say “Ill call you up tonight”. The second difference between British and American English is in Pronunciation. The main difference in pronunciation concerns the vowels（元音） . Some American dialects and some British dialects use vowels in di
24、fferent ways. Sometimes, Americans and the British dont understand each others pronunciation. But most of the time, the British and Americans do understand each others pronunciation because most of the sounds of the two dialects are the same. The third difference is very small. This is the differenc
25、e in spelling. A few types of words are spelled differently in British and American English. The most common example is in a word like “center”. In British English, this word would be spelled C-E-N-T-R-E, while in American English the same word would be spelled C-E-N-T-E-R. Another example is “or” v
26、s “our”. The word “color”is spelled C-O-L-O-U-R in Britain but C-O-L-O-R in the US. There are a few differences in grammar, too. The British may say “Have you got. ” while Americans prefer “Do you have. ” An American might say “my friend just arrived”, but a British would say “my friend has just arr
27、ived”. Sometimes function words are used differently: the British may say “at the weekend”, but Americans would say “on the weekend”. 【小题 1】 What is this passage mainly about A The development of American English B Differences between British and American English C The influences of British English

31、n a time, there was a scholar who wanted to gain more knowledge each day even though he had already gained enough knowledge. One day, he came to visit a saint and wanted to be his student. The saint provided some tea. He slowly filled the scholars cup: the cup was full, yet he kept pouring and pouri
32、ng. The scholar burst out, “Stop! You cant add anything to something thats already full!” The saint set down the teapot and replied, “Exactly.” Whether its the silence between notes in music, or some open time in your schedule, you need space to act effectively. Yet most of us, myself included, tend
33、 to stuff as much as possible into whatever room is available-closets, schedules, budgets, relationships, and even the mind itself. However, some people know how to avoid overstuffing their life. For example, in Australia, it seemed that most people there operated at about 85% of their capacity（能力），
34、 unlike Americans pushing as close to 100% as possible. So when you run into Australians you know in the street, they have time to hang out and talk with you. Remember the cup: its value is in the space, the emptiness it holds. How to empty your “cup” Be mindful of the element of space, openness , a
35、nd emptiness in your life. This includes room in a drawer, the volume of air in a kitchen, and open-mindedness in a friend. Sometimes youre just stuck with a big bucket of tasks yet to do. But at least empty the bucket faster than you fill it with new tasks. Put some space between finishing one thin
36、g and staring another. For example, after sending one email, take a breath before replying to another one. Drop the stuff you can no longer afford to lug around. At sea level, you can run with a brick in your backpack, but if youre hiking on a mountain, that brick has got to go. 【小题 1】 By pouring wa

48、ht and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this. Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits be
