Around A.D.1500 European traders began arriving in India. They wanted to take India's spices, rice, silk and sugar cane back to Europe. The most successful trading company was the British East India Company, which was founded in 1600.with the help of the British government, this company gained great control over India.

British rule had some benefits for India. Important crops---including tea, coffee, and indigo--were introduced into India and a national railroad System was built to help export goods. English was used across the many regions of India, providing one common language for the people.

But the British caused hardships too. For example, farmers in the Bengal region were forced to grow the export crop of indigo(靛蓝),used to make blue dye(染料),instead of food. As a result,

in 1770 about 10 million people died of famine. Britain also caused hardship in the India cloth industry by putting a 30 percent import tax on Indian cloth. This made Indian cloth too expensive to sell in Britain. When the Indians lost their British customers, their cloth industry was ruined. Then British cloth factories profited by selling British cloth to the Indians.

The Indian people were discontent under British rule. In 1939 Mohandas Gandhi took up the cause of Indian independence. He encouraged Indians to protest in nonviolent ways. He encouraged them not to pay taxes to the British and advocated (提倡) a boycott of British-made products. After great struggle, both nonviolent and violent, the British withdrew(撤离),and in 1947 India became a self-governing, independent country.

Like any language, English has many variations(变形)in vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation. The differences can be regional(地区性的)or even exist within the same city! As a Canadian who lives in Vancouver, I have always known about these differences, but I didn't get to

experience them firsthand until I began attending an American university.

I found that there are some Canadian words that people in the US just don't understand, such as a \针织的) hat, and \tease me every time I use the \-\and \test, he gave me a confused look. People in the US only say \

Though certain Canadian expressions sound very different from our North American neighbor, they share the same original language because both served as colonies(殖民地)of the former British Empire. This cultural heritage(遗产)survives through speech and language.

Unlike American English, most Canadian spellings are similar to the British words. In the US, words like \Canada, like \铝)\

As a result, Canadian English has developed an identity of its own. For instance, we cannot forget the most important word in Canadian English: sorry. While it isn't really the most important word, Canadians have a reputation for being polite and friendly. I, for one, want to uphold(维护) that reputation and honor my Canadian roots, even while I'm in the United States.

\Noah in his book, Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood.\障碍) says \

27. Which one is wrong according to the passage?

A. All the Canadian words aren't understood by the people in the US. B. English varies in vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation. C. A word may be pronounced differently in the same city.

D. The author didn't realize the differences until attending an American university. 28. Why the word \ A. Because it is commonly used in Canada.

B. Because it shows the politeness and friendliness of Canadians.
