A great French writer has said that we should help everyone as much as we can because we often need help ourselves. The small even can help the great. About this, he told the following story.
An ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. she tried her best to reach the side, but she couldn’t move at all. The poor ant got too tired but was still doing her best when a big bird saw her. With a pity, the bird threw a piece of wood. With it the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in grass she heard a man coming up. He was walking without shoes on his feet and carrying a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the bird, he wished to kill her, and he would certainly do so, but the ant bit(咬) him in one of his feet and at that moment the bird flew away at once. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than the bird herself that had saved her life.

One big difference between British and American English is in vocabulary. For example, the British use the word ‘autumn’ while the Americans use the word ‘fall’. In this case , the older word is ‘autumn’. However, about four hundred years ago, the word ‘autumn’ was replaced with ‘fall’. Later, the British returned to ‘autumn’,while the Americans still use ‘fall’.
Of course , people from many different countries came to America and made their contributions to American English .Indeed, in American English there are words from every major tongue spoken on Earth. Many of these words are absent in British English.
Another big distinction between American and British English is spelling .After the Americans defeated the British in 1781 and gained independence, they wanted to make the spelling of English words simpler. Therefore, Americans write ‘color’ instead of ‘colour’.
Finally, the pronunciations and accents are different. Both countries have slowly changed the way they say the same words, but in different ways.This process is continuing even today.
58.When was the word ‘autumn’ replaced with ‘fall’? ( 回答词数不超过5个)

If you love books, then Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Journey to Change the World, One Child at a Time will be your favorite. This book will take you on an adventure to one of the highest mountains in the world. 61 You will learn how the people who lived there survived(生存) and how author Greg Mortenson helped build an education system.
While climbing K2 in Pakistan, author Greg Mortenson became ill and got lost. He got help in a small village named Korphe. 62 The people of the village took good care of him, feeding him and letting him sleep in the village chief’s house. They also gave him one of their most rare treats: sweet tea.
As Mortenson recovered from his illness, he noticed that the children of the village worked and went to school outdoors. 63 Their teacher came only three times a week and they didn’t have blackboards. They used sticks to write on the ground.
The day he left the village, 64 他许诺回来建一所学校. His school would allow both boys and girls to attend. He kept his promise and helped found a school with a building and supplies so the kids could study indoors with real writing tools.
65 那是在一九九三年. Today Mortenson is responsible for building 80 schools in Central Asia. He has helped more than 18,000 girls receive an education so far.
