But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, 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 several 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 in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate. (3)Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries. Many expressions 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?” All these differences can be confusing(易混淆的 ) if you are learning English. But 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. (4)但是他们的法语和法国的法语不一样。 1. This passage is mainly about _. 2. 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 3.

They called it Operation Smile. Operation Smile works in more than twenty developing counties and has cured over 10,000 children who have problems with their mouths. Operation Smile has won many prizes for its work and in 1999 they even started a special event called “ The World Journey of Hope” . 5,000 children in 18 countries are cured during the event.
