三．阅读理解（判断正误 T or F）
Many students want to know about the differences between American English and British English. Written English is more or less the same in both Britain and American English, though there are some spelling differences. For example, the words colour, centre and traveled are spelt color, center, and traveled in American English.
The differences in the spoken language are greater. For example, Americans say dance /d s/,and in southern England they say /dɑ:ns/.However, most of the time, people from the two countries do not have any difficulty in understanding each other.
How did these differences come about There is no quick answer to this question. When people from England traveled to other countries, they took the English language with them. At first, the language stayed the same as the language used in Britain, but slowly the language began to change from one part of the world.
Sometimes, the English spoken in America or Canada or Australia changed; but sometimes the language spoken in these places stayed the same, while the language in England changed. For example, 300 years ago, the English talked about “fall”. Today, most British people talk about “autumn”. But Americans still talk about “fall” just as people do in some parts of western England. In the same way Americans use the expression” I guess”(meaning” I think”) just as the British did 300 years ago.
A great many words and expressions have come into the language from American English, for example movie, gas, store, mail, radio, right away (at once), way of life, and so on.
American English has changed over the centuries, too. There are several reasons for this. One of the reasons is that people traveled to America from all the European countries and from other parts of the world, too. They started to use English, but they also brought in some words from old French. One of the states in the USA is called “Florida”; in Spanish means the “land of flowers”. There are a great many American Indian words, for example, “to howl” means “to cry”. And “cookbook” is a German word.
( )1. The differences in the witten language between British and American English are greater than those in the spoken language.
( )2. There are quite a number of spelling differences between American and British English.
( )3. The British used “I guess” 300 years ago, but they use “I think” today.
( )4. British English has changed over the centuries, so has American English.
( )5. There are a lot of words in American English from some other languages in the world.

In China, there are so many local dialects although the government encourage the whole nation to speak putonghua, which regarded as “standard” Chinese. However, local people also speak their own dialects.
Can you tell an interesting or funny story that shows great difference between dialects in Chinese/English
Example: keys or kiss
One friend of mine was giving an English lesson to a class of adults who had recently come to live in the United States. After placing quite a number of everyday objects on a table he asked various members of the class to give him the ruler, the book, the pen
and so on. The class went very smoothly, and the students seemed interested and serious about the work that they were engaged in until my friend turned to an Italian and said, “Give me the keys.” The man looked surprised and somewhat at a loss (有点手足无措). Seeing this, my friend thought that
the student hadn’t heard him clearly, so he repeated, “Give me the keys.” The Italian shrugged (耸肩) his shoulders. Then, he threw his arms around the teacher’s neck and kissed him on both cheeks.
