There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.

When my friend Lily from London used the word “l(fā)arder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realizing I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.

Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like that. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a pissed woman. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.

Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man to help her if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.

In order to communicate well with British people, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.

1. When Lily used the word “l(fā)arder”, she was probably looking for a ______.

A. cup B. ladder

C. cupboard D. cooker

2.According to the passage, in British English ______.

A. the word “pissed” means angry

B. the word “jacket” is often used

C. the word “engaged” means tired

D. the word “rubber” means eraser

3.What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Pragraph2 mean?

A. Wrote down B. Cared about

C. Looked for D. Settled down

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The British way of using words.

B. Some new words the writer’s British friends taught her.

C. The reasons why Americans can’t followed the British at times.

D. Some words used differently in British English and American English.

Last week we held a discussion on which we should do for our school before we graduate.The students in our class have different suggestion.Some students thought that we can collect money to buy some books for the school library or everything else for the schoo1.Other students argue that there’s not necessary to spend money.We can study hard and make our school feeling proud of us.

In my opinion, we don’t have to spend money. We can do something meaningfully without money. For an example,we can do some voluntary work to beautify the school and try to get better results in the coming exams so that our school will proud of us.

One evening last summer, when I asked my 14 year old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me."What’s a colander(漏勺)?" he asked.

I could only blame myself.In the family, nobody else’s hands went in the sauce except my own.But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.

As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers.I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, "What’s for dinner?" So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course.I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no.For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine.One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting.Then he rolled out the piecrust (餡餅皮) and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.

I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother—he tried to beg not to have sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive— but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping."I appreciate what you do as a mom," he told me one day.Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing masculine (男子氣概的) about being helpless.

Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family.That’s what I call a man.I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter in-law.

1.Why was the author shocked at her son’s response?

A.Because he was not well behaved.

B.Because he refused to help with dinner.

C.Because he didn’t know the common kitchen tools.

D.Because he was very curious about kitchen tools.

2.In the author’s opinion, some parents pay little attention to _______.

A.building up children’s confidence

B.telling kids what is right and wrong

C.preparing children for their future life

D.making children live a hard life

3.After learning to do housework, Ray _______.

A.fell in love with sewing

B.did other work in the house

C.began to be more hardworking

D.a(chǎn)cknowledged his mother’s efforts

4.We can infer from the text that Ray _______.

A.made great progress in cooking.

B.a(chǎn)lways thought housework interesting.

C.preferred sewing to cooking.

D.was unwilling to learn cooking at first.

5.What would the author like to convey in the text?

A.Useful education for boys

B.The importance of housework

C.Boys should be involved in housework.

D. Cooking and sewing make boys masculine.
