Sixtytwo percent of Americans got“embarrassed”wrong, against 54 percent of Britons who struggled with the word in a survey last year. Adults in the US performed less well on most of the ten words tested, including millennium (52 percent wrong, against 43 percent in the UK), liaison (61 percent to 54 percent)and “accommodation”(42 percent to 36 percent)Only “definitely”and “friend”were spelt correctly by more Americans. Jack Bovill of the Spelling Society, which sponsored(发起)the research, said the high inaccuracy rates in both countries showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized.“When asked, only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling.The answers in the test prove that this_is_far_from_the_case， ”he said.“What is holding the UK and the USA back is the irregular spelling system.” Professor Edward Baranowski, one academic consultant for the project, said, “We have different spellings for the same sound, and a system which reflects how English was spoken in the 13th to 15th centuries, not how it is spoken today.So many sound changes have occurred in the language, which is not reflected in modern spelling, that we are left with a fossilized(僵化的) system.” The study found that 40 percent of the respondents would support updating words that caused problems while 16 percent opposed the idea.And 31 percent said it didnt matter. The US survey involving a sample of 1，000 adults was carried out online by Ipsos MORI last month, with the method based on a survey of 1，000 Britons in April last year. 1The second paragraph is developed_ Aby space Bby explanation Cby time Dby comparison 2The underlined word“inaccuracy”in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by_ Asuccess Berror Ccorrectness Dgrowth 3The underlined part “this is far from the case” in Paragraph 3 implies that_ Amost of the Americans can spell correctly Bthere are more people having spelling
