American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes 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 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. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference. Words sometimes have different meanings too. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions(短语) 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?”
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.
( ) 1. What does the word “separately” mean in this passage? It means “___________”.
A. 含糊地 B. 快速地 C. 分开地 D. 简略地
( ) 2. The vocabulary for cars and driving is __________.
A. an example of British English B. an example of American English
C. the same in America and England D. not the same in America and England
( ) 3. Languages ____________.
A. are always changing as time passes B. keep unchanged even if time changes
C. are the same in all places D. are easy to learn
( ) 4. Which of the following sentences is right according to the passage?
A. American people usually say “ I don’t know” instead of “ I dunno ”.
B. There are four differences between American and British English.
C. Canadians speak all the same French as Frenchmen.
D. When people live in different places, the language are spoken in the same way.
( ) 5. This passage is mainly about ___________.
A. English vocabulary
B. how American sounds are different from British sounds
C. the way the British say words
D. some differences between American and British English

Several days ago, some students from the US visited our school. When we talked, I found some differences in school life between the US and China. For example, each class lasts fifty minutes in the US. It is a little longer than that in China. We usually have forty-five minutes in each class. Another difference is that they have less break time between classes. Besides, although most schools in both countries finish their morning classes at 12 o’clock, the students in the US only have an hour-long break, so they need to eat lunch quickly. Their afternoon classes begin at 1:00 pm and school is over at around 3:00 pm. Then they take part in club activities or play sports.
Many Chinese students don’t work during their high school years, while the US students like to find a part-time job(兼职) in their free time. They don’t have a dream job in mind. They think there is no difference between jobs. Working is a useful experience for them and they make money at the same time. Some of them even take one-year full-time jobs after they leave high school and then go to college.
How long does each class last in the US?
_________________________________________________________________________________.
Why do American students need to eat lunch quickly?

What do American students do in their free time?

What do American students think of jobs?

Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:
Plan your time carefully.?When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you
have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study.?Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which
may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class.?Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.?When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude about tests.?The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
Title: To be a ___1___ student
Plan youy ___2____ carefully Make a list of ____3____ that you have to do ____4____ to spare some time for your hobbies
Find a good place to study Find a good study place. Keep ____5____ but study things with your reach
