If the crust (外壳) of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he earth were not pretty solid (坚固的), it would be shaking about and moving up and down frequently. However, there are places in the rocks of the earth's crust where it isn't strongly held together — where faults exist. Along the faults, one rock might push against another with great force. The energy is changed to vibration in the rocks, so they begin to shake and we have an earthquake!
The most famous one in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) North America was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Seven hundred people died and property (财产) damage amounted to about $425 000 000. The greatest destruction came from the fires that followed the quake.
One of the most famo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )us earthquakes in Europe took place in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1755. The city was destroyed and at least thirty thousand people were killed. In 1908, in Calabria and Sicily, a quake killed about seventy five thousand people. In 1915, in central Italy, hundreds of towns and villages were damaged and thirty thousand people were killed.
Two great earthquakes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that caused great damage in Asia took place in Tokyo, Japan, and in Gansu Province in China. The Tokyo quake of 1923 killed more than one hundred thousand people and destroyed the city and the city of Yokohama, too. The Chinese quake in 1920 covered more than three hundred square miles and killed about two hundred thousand people.

B
The accident happened ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )just a few months after I picked up my new car. It was clearly not my fault (过错). The other guy was so busy on his cell phone that he went right through a red light and ran into my car. My new and very beautiful car was destroyed. It was even frightening because my niece was asleep on the back seat and her father, my brother, was in the front passenger seat. He was not happy.
The police arrived and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) began taking statements. I explained that I had been going at about 55 kmph. “So you were going about 50 kmph ...” he said.
“No, I said I was going about 55 kmph,” I said.
“Right, so you were going about 50 kmph ...” again he repeated.
In a slightly angry v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oice because I felt I wasn't being heard, I said: “No! I was going about 55 kmph!”
“OK, if that's t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he way you want it,” this time the officer simply replied.
I didn't realize ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) it at the time. The city speed limit is 50 kmph. My insurance company paid me for the damages to my car. However, I ended up getting 50 percent less than I would have from the other guy's insurance company because I had insisted I was going 55 kmph.
I thought about w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat had happened again. It suddenly struck me that the traffic policeman had been trying to help me out. He had known something about the insurance that I had not. I might have insisted that I told the truth, but I could at least have said “Thank you” to him instead of acting so rudely.
Sometimes the hardes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t thing to do is to have a listening ear — let other people talk while you simply shut up and listen. Never forget — to hear, you have to be able to listen.
5.The writer w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as frightened because ________ when the accident happened.
A. the other driver was too careless
B. his new beautiful car was destroyed
C. he had two passengers on his car

A. never to make a phone call while driving
B. never to make dishonest statements to police
C. to learn the details of the insurance items
D. to let others talk and be a good listener
答案与解析 D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知作者得到的教训是要学会倾听别人。语 篇 提 能

My Garden by Nelson Mandela
In early 1977, the authorities (当局) announced the physical labour and arranged some kind of work for us to do in the courtyard. The free time also allowed me to hunt what became two of my favorite hobbies in Robben Island — gardening and tennis.
To survive in prison, one must develop ways to take satisfaction in one's daily life. One can feel fulfilled (充实) by washing one's clothes so that they are particularly clean. Just as one takes pride in important tasks outside of prison, one can find the same pride in doing small things inside prison.
Almost from the beginning of my sentence on Robben Island, I asked the authorities for permission to start a garden in the courtyard. For years, they refused without offering a reason. But finally they gave in, and we were able to cut out a small garden on a narrow patch of earth against the far wall.
The soil in the courtyard was dry and rocky. In order to start my garden, I had to remove a great many rocks to allow the plants room to grow.
The authorities supplied me with seeds. At first, I planned tomatoes and onions, because these plants did not require rich earth or constant care. The early harvests were poor, but they soon improved.
I began to order books on gardening. I studied different gardening techniques and types of fertilizers (肥料). I did not have many of the materials the book discussed, but I learned by trial and error (反复实验). For a time, I tried to grow peanuts, and used different soils and fertilizers, but finally I gave up. It was one of my few failures.
A garden was one of the few things in prison that one could control. The process of planting a seed, watching it grow, taking care of it and then harvesting it offered a simple but long lasting satisfaction. The sense of being the owner of the small patch of earth offered a small taste of freedom.
1.Mandela's hobbies on Robben Island were ________.
A. hunting and physical labour
B. gardening and tennis
C. washing his clothes
D. gardening techniques and types of fertilizers
答案与解析 B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知他在岛上的两个爱好是园艺和网球。
2.When did Mandela ask the prison authorities for the permission to start a small garden
A. Soon after 1997.
B. Some time in early 1977.
C. Almost as soon as he went to prison there.
D. Long after he went to prison there.
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句可知C项正确。
3.Why did Mandela wash his clothes especially clean although he was in prison
A. To show he could do it as well as others.
B. To get some sense of pride and satisfaction from it.
C. To show others that he preferred to be clean.
D. To gain the authorities' permission to start a garden.
答案与解析 B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知把衣服洗得特别干净是为从中得到一定的满足和自豪感。
4.Hard as he tried, he failed ________ at last.
A. to order books on gardening
B. to grow tomatoes and onions

When an earthquake hit a small town, many houses fell down. After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.
One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven year old twins, Brad and Brett, and three year old Meghan, “We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them.”
I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the children to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. “Oh, dear,” I said, “you don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said, “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too.”

“Let's go Dutch, shall we?” Jim said after a dinner to his friends in a restaurant. What does Jim mean
Long ago, there was a kind of dinner called Dutch treat. At a Dutch treat, the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his or her own share.
There are many other expressions related with “Dutch” in American English. However, most of them were first used in England in the 17th century. At that time, the British and the Dutch were war enemies. So when British people talked about something wrong or bad, they would like to use the word “Dutch”.
A common expression heard a few years ago was in Dutch. A friend may tell you, “You are in Dutch. The teacher is angry with you. Be careful!” When a soldier took Dutch leave, he left the army without permission. Dutch courage was the false courage produced by the effects of drinking wine.
There is one expression that did come from the Dutch. That is to talk like a Dutch uncle. The Dutch were known for the strict and serious way they educated their children.
5.According to the passage, the British in the 17th century ________.
A. first used the word “Dutch”
B. were mistaken for Dutch people
C. got along well with the Dutch people
D. used the word “Dutch” for something bad

A. The guests should leave first.
B. Each person should pay his or her own bill.
C. The food should be better next time.
D. People should go to another restaurant.

A. he is happy B. he is lucky
C. he is in trouble D. he is on vacation
答案与解析 C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段第二句可判断出“be in Dutch”意为“有麻烦”。

If you live ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in the place where earthquakes are possible, make sure you have ways to tell your family members your condition.

It is especially important for families with young children to practice what to do in an earthquake. Make sure your family has a plan of action, and decide a meeting place to go. In an earthquake which causes great damage, it is important to have items on hand, water, food, medicine, a flashlight and so on.

Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706 in Boston, America. In his life he built a successful printing and publishing business in Philadelphia; he conducted scientific studies of electricity and made several important discoveries; he was a diplomat (外交官) and statesman; he helped establish Pennsylvania's first university and America's first city hospital; he also organized the country's first subscription library(收费图书馆).
Franklin was also unequaled in America as an inventor until Thomas Edison. Ben had poor eyesight and needed glasses to read. He got tired of always taking them off and putting them back on, so he decided to figure out a way to make his glasses let him see both near and far. He had two pairs of glasses cut in half and put half of them together. Today, we call them bifocals (双光眼镜). Another invention of his, an iron stove, allowed people to warm their homes.
He loved to learn about new things. He also thought it was important to make life better with the things that he invented. Electricity was one of the things he experimented with when he retired from his business. Ben discovered that lightning (闪电) and electricity were the same thing. The lightning rod was an important invention that we still use today to protect buildings and ships from lightning damage.
Franklin preferred to have his inventions used freely for the comfort and convenience (便利) of everyone.

Anne is six years older than me. We were very poor.My mother worked at a factory in a small town in the evening. Not seeing my mother often, Anne took over much of my mother's work.
When I was seventeen, I thought my only chance of going to college was winning a scholarship (奖学金). I had an important interview for such a scholarship. Anne at that time was working hard on her part time job. I told her of my interview. I was excited and asked her advice on what to wear. I showed her how I planned to be careful and how I sat in order to hide the hole in the bottom of my shoe, but I wasn't sure what I would do if it rained.
Anne suggested that we go shopping. She took me to the shoe department and told me to try on a beautiful pair of leather shoes. Sometimes we did go shopping together and tried on things just to see what they looked and felt like, but we never could afford to buy them. It was like playing dress up. But this time was different. Anne handed me the boxed shoes and said, “Here you are. I'll buy these for you.”
“But ...” was all I could say.
“This interview is important. I want you to get that scholarship,” she replied.
I knew this was a lot of money for her, and she would probably have to eat nothing but noodles for at least a month.
I won the scholarship and became an engineer. Although they were nice everyday leather shoes, I didn't wear them much. Now, twenty years has passed, I still have that pair of shoes with me, and I just wear them on those little occasions (场合) when I need to feel special.

If you go into the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orest with friends, stay with them. If you don't, you may get lost. If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don't try to find your friends — let them find you. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people find you. You can shout or whistle three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help. If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches. Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass. When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don't just walk away.

Americans can travel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveler might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport (护照).
This passport ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is a government request for the safety of its traveling people. It is also a government's pledge (保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country.
To receive a pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssport from the government, a traveler must prove that he is an American citizen (公民). An American cannot go abroad without a passport. Only certain close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports.
Stuck (贴) inside t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he passport is the traveler's picture. Children traveling with their parents are included in one parent's passport.

答案与解析 D 由最后一段最后两句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )可知A错误;由倒数第二段“Children travelling with their parents are included in one parent's passport”可知B错误;由第一段可知C错误,不是most countries;通读全文可知美国人经常到国外旅游。故答案为D。
7.Which statement does the text lead you to believe
A. Some countries don't ask foreign visitors for passports.
B. People should take good care of their passports.
C. Money is more important than a passport.
D. Children are never included in a passport.

A
In America, when people say “man's_best_friend”, they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal: A dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to become the “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visit”.
Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May.
Pets shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies.
If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don't kick (踢) it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who can't speak for themselves.

I didn't have many friends. I didn't realize what I was missing until I met Alicia. We met in a history class in university. The first time we went out, she asked me a question to test my personality (性格).
“If you were in a sinking boat, would you try to fix it or just build a new one?” I was a little angry at the question; I didn't know how much water was in it, or if I had any tools for rebuilding. I never gave her a straight answer! But our friendship began.
People even thought we were sisters because we looked alike. I really loved having a good friend. Yet as time passed, we found ourselves in a dilemma (窘境).
On many problems, we had different opinions, which always turned into heated discussions, and it took a lot of work to keep the relationship. For a while, it just wasn't fun to be together. Sometimes we both wanted to give up. If it had been up to me, our friendship would have ended.
But Alicia saw something in me that was worth keeping. Now, I'm very glad we worked things out. Though we understand life from different worldviews, we care for each other. What an amazing life lesson God has taught us about unity (团结) and forgiveness (宽恕)! Now, our different opinions are easy to laugh about. She_can_eat_her_cheese_while_I_have_my_chocolate.

语篇解读 Tom第一次到英格兰旅行,他 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )没有听从朋友的建议,独自外出。几经周折,Tom终于坐上了地铁。结果让他困惑不已的是他把地铁方向弄反了,以至走错了地方。
1.B 联系下文可知,他没听别人的建议。
2.A 从下文得知,他是一个人出来的,故选alone。
3.D 从下文“crowds of people go home from work at this hour”判断,这个时间不好。
4.A 联系上下文可知,此句解释说明了第3空的内容,故用for表原因。
5.B 动词辨析。plan“打算 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )”; have to“不得不”; happen to“(碰巧)发生”; hope“希望”。从语境可知B项正确。
6.D 联系上文“joi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n a long line of people waiting for tickets”可知轮到他了。turn“(依次轮流的)顺序”。
7.D 售票员听不懂他的话,他却买到了票,前后句显然构成转折关系。
8.B 联系上文可知,他是通过询问别人才买到票的。ask the way“问路”,故B项正确。
9.A 动词词义辨析,be packed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )/crowded with“挤满”; be seized with“被(感情等)影响”; be covered with“被……覆盖”。因为人多,他没能挤上第一趟火车。
10.A 此题易误选B,但一定要注意句子中的关键词not。manage to do“设法得以做成某事”。
11.C 从语境可知,在拥挤的站台上,他得到的是一个稍好些的“位置”。
12.B 从下文“from behind”来看,他是被人推向前的。sweep在此指“猛推”; draw“拉”。
13.D speed“速度”; ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )support“支持”; strike“敲打”; push“推挤”。从语境可知,push与sweep相照应。
14.C 看不清的应是“站名”。他首次到英国,即使站上有独特的符号、标记,他也不可能知道,故排除signs。
15.B 根据语境可知,火车停下了。
16.C 这里指第六个车站,故选stop(车站)。
17.A 从宾语从句“that his journey had been so easy”可知,他觉得旅行如此轻松,心情当然“高兴”。
18.A 他不是英国人,所以没到过这个车站,故排除D项。从语境可知,这个车站他从没听说过。
19.C 从语境可知,他不知道究竟是怎么回事,difficulty指他当时的一种迷茫,故C项正确。
20.B 听说Tom乘车方向完全反了,那人的第一反应是觉得好笑,根据“on his face”可知B项符合语境。

答案与解析
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。由于父母争吵 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),“我”心烦意乱。原想出去躲个清静,不料临时停电,不得不陪素来无话可谈的爷爷。令人难以置信的是,祖孙俩这次却能倾心交谈,两个人成了好朋友。
1.A 根据下文“... there was someone with whom I could share my feelings ...”可知,作者当时不知道该与谁谈论自己的感受。
2.B 与下文一起理解,分句与主句间为让步关系。
3.C 此处意为“尽管(thou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gh)我知道我不会告诉她我父母的状况,但是我很想离开(get out of)家”。也许是因为家丑不可外扬,也许是对父母状况感到无计可施,故不愿与最好的朋友讨论,但想逃避。
4.D 从下文可以推断正 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )因为母亲答应了我的请求,所以我在收拾个人物品(准备到朋友家过夜)。“在……的过程中”为in the middle of ...。
5.A 根据下文的until the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) power came back on以及because the power went out可知当时停电了。go out“(灯、火)熄灭”; die down“(声响)慢慢消失”; break out“(火灾、战争等)突然爆发/发生”; shut out“遮住;把……关在外面”。
6.B 作者企图避开烦人的环境,但事与愿违,不得不陪素来无话可谈的爷爷,当然感到disappointed了。
7.D 因为停电,作者要去陪爷爷,因为他害怕一个人处于黑暗之中。下文sitting there in the dark为信息提示。
8.A 与上文until the power came back on一致,选power。
9.B 根据下文的“What opportunity?”可知“爷爷”说的是“好机会”。
10.A 根据上文的you and I,和下 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文between my grandfather and me,这些均说明这是“私下(private)”的谈话。
11.C 句意:既然我们处于现在这种 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )状况,我们就来讨论一下如何对待你的父母和如何处理我们自身的问题。since“既然”; so that“以至于,为的是……”。
12.B 句意:我很高兴这里就有一位可以与我分享感受的人。share sth. with sb.“与某人分享(分担)某事”。
13.B 此处意为“与我处境相同的人”。in the same boat为固定短语,意为“处境相同”。
14.A 根据上文surprised t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat there was someone with whom ....可知“我”对和爷爷之间的友谊感到出乎意料,故选择unbelievable“难以置信的”。unreasonable“不合理的”; unhappy“不愉快的”; untruthful“不诚挚的;不真实的”。
15.A 根据上下文语境,“我”和爷爷在黑暗中交谈应该是坐着(sitting或seated),所以答案为A项。
16.B 本句指出讨论的范围,从时世变迁多快到有时(sometimes)时世变迁不够快,说明生活中有很多没有规律的变化。
17.B 这里指作者重新认识了爷爷,和爷爷有了深入的情感交流,找到了一位忘年之交。
18.C 前文中有几处用了talk abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut,如not have much to talk about, talked about our feelings,因此判断答案为C项。
19.D 根据上下文,“我”受母亲委派在停电时陪爷爷,而现在电来了,故爷爷会自然想到既然来电了,就意味着“我”该走了。
20.A 爷爷多么希望能与孙女交谈呀,所以才会希望隔几天停上一次电。

答案与解析
1.C 语言的起源一直是人们感兴趣的事情,但是没人确切地知道语言的起源究竟是怎样的。然而,我们还是对语言有许多了解。but后不能出现逗号。
2.D 由上下文可知此处一直是在讲对语言的认识,而不单纯是对汉语或英语的认识。
3.A 人们对现在的语言以及更早的语言有所了解。由上下文可知此处与today对应。
4.B 由后面的“about three thousand languages in the world today”可知此处应用be动词的一般现在时的复数形式。
5.B 由with引导的介词短语作定语,修饰language,表示“汉语是使用人数最多的一种语言”。
6.D 上文指出汉语是使用者最多的一种语言,接着又说英语、俄语和西班牙语也有数百万人使用,后文话锋一转讲到,还有不到一百人使用的语言,所以此处用on the other hand。
7.C 由后面的内容可知语言有几大语系,用families表示。下文的one large family也是提示。
8.A 由后面的Indo European language family可知,欧洲的大多数语言都属于一个大的语系——印欧语系。
9.A 过去分词called作定语,表示“被称做”。
10.B 由前面的was spoken可知,此处应该用与一般过去时连用的ago。before用于过去完成时的句子中。
11.C 现在印度与欧洲的一些语言实际上就是4 500年以前的语言的现代形式(forms)。
12.A 由下文可知,语言一直都在发展变化。always与现在进行时态连用表示“总是”。
13.D be different from“与……不同”,为固定短语。
14.A 最后有些语言甚至完全消失了。die out“灭绝;死光;消失”。die away“逐渐模糊;逐渐减弱”;die down“逐渐变弱;暗淡”;die off“相继死去”。
15.B 一千年前的英语还与当时人们讲的德语有亲戚关系。
16.C 表示“讲(某种语言)”用speak,此处用过去分词作定语表示被动。
17.D 讲某种语言的人多或某种语言很古老,那么不同地区人们说话的方式就有差别。A、C项只修饰不可数名词;a few表示“几个”,意义不符。
18.B 由上文可知此处指人们说话方式的不同,用复数形式。
19.A 此处是对上文的说明:也就是说(that is),一种语言可能有几种方言。
20.D 方言的差别如此之大,以至于来自不同地区的人都无法相互沟通。此处表示“不会,不能”,故用can't。

Dear Mr.Black,
I used to have a really good group of friends. Now they're all getting into smoking and drinking. I want to find a new group of friends, but I'm shy. How can I know who are the types of people I should make friends with, and who will accept me
Yours,
Mike
Dear Mike,
You've already made a very important step because you've realized that it's time to find new friends. Making and keeping good friends is a challenge for all of us, whether you are shy or not. Since you've done this successfully before, one thing is to think back on how you developed friendships in the past.
Probably the best way to make and keep friends is to find others who share your interests. Lasting friendships often develop between people who enjoy the same activities. You also want to be with friends who share values and goals for life. It just depends on what your own interests are.
That old saying is also true — the best way to have a friend is to be a friend. Reach out to the others who share your interests, sit with them at lunch, invite them to join you in the activities you all like, listen to their thoughts and tell them yours. Being a real friend takes time and effort. With time and effort, I'm sure you will find some very good friends during your school years and you'll always be in touch after leaving school.
Yours,
Tom Black

A
Many students find i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t hard to make friends when they are in high school. Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand. They certainly helped me, and by the end of my three years of high school I had made many. Here are my tips:
Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance(熟人)
Because I was always ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was friendly (though I am not naturally sociable). And high school students want to be friends with sociable (善交际的) people.
Take the first step
All the girls there a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lready knew each other — they didn't need another friend. But I did, so I had to make the effort. I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me, or come to my house. Once I did that they started to respond (回应) with the same thing.
Use classes to get to know people
I met most of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class (before, after, or even during class time) is a great chance to begin a conversation. For example, ask for help about homework.
Make friends slowly
I couldn't get upse ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t when it took a while to make friends. It really takes some time to make new friends. In a word, making new friends is hard.

Ways to Discover a Lie
Wouldn't it be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) nice to know whether people are telling you the truth or not __1__ Janine Driver spent years studying how to discover lying, and her new book, You Can't Lie to Me, explains how it's done.
Start by watching how the person normally behaves(表现).
__2__This will help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tell whether they are lying to you. For example, somebody just simply likes to use words such as “um” and “well” in their normal communications.
__3__
Listening carefully t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o what someone is saying is very important. For example, if you ask a “yes” or “no” question, the answer should include the word “yes” or “no”. Watch out for a denial(否认) that doesn't include a “no”.
Pay attention to special behavior.
When someone doesn't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) behave as usual, you should pay close attention. __4__Driver uses the children's song “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” as a way to learn about that person's true feelings.
Ask if they're telling the truth.
At last, ask t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hem directly, “Did you tell me the truth?” Whatever answer you get first, don't accept it and ask a second time. Listen carefully for the next answer. It should be short and simple. __5__
A.There is a way.
B.Listen carefully.
C.Make them say more.
D.This doesn't mean you tell a lie.
E.But a liar will probably give a long answer.

A
A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans Can they understand me Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English How important are these differences
Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?”, Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British, “color” and “honor” are American.
These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.

I ran into quite a few language problems while vacationing with my family last summer. The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her “pants were dirty”. They looked at her in amazement (吃惊), not knowing how to react. You see, Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans. But in Britain, “pants” means underpants or knickers, not trousers as it does back home.
Katie — From America
I went to stay with a friend on the west coast last summer. Her flat was on the first floor of a high rise building so I got the lift up. Then I wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldn't find it. Fed up and tired, I finally had to go out to find a phone box. She explained that her flat was on the first floor, which for me meant the ground floor.
David — From Britain
When I asked for the “restroom” in a big department store, people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and “rest”. It took me years to get through to someone that I only wanted the toilet!
Tom — From America
Last summer we went on a two week family touring holiday, so Dad hired a car over the Internet. This was an old vehicle (汽车) and there turned out to be lots of things wrong with it. When he phoned the hire company and tried to explain that the lock on the boot was broken, they thought he was talking about footwear! He had no idea their word for “boot” was “trunk”. In the end we went to a garage and just solved the problem.
