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

When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, 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. 24. 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 25. What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. wrote down B. cared about C. looked for D. settled down 26. 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 follow the British at times. D. Some words used differently in British English and American English.

C

It seems that no one can live a happy life without friendship. While a great number of people expect others to be their friends, they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest（诚实的）; be generous; be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always depend on one another to speak and act honestly.

Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you

help your friend know better.

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better.

No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding. 27. Some friendships don’t last long because ________. A. there are too many people who want to make friends

B. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others C. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship back D. they don’t know friendship is something important 28. According to the passage, honesty is ________.

A. a necessary part of friendship B. more important than anything else C. as important as money

D. something impossible

29. Which of the following isn’t talked about in the passage? A. You should tell your friends the truth. B. Sharing your mind with your friends is valuable.

C. Discussing your problems with your friends often helps to solve the problem. D. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend. 30. The best title of this passage is ________.

A. Honesty Is the Best Rule B. A Friend in Need Is a Friend indeed C. How to Be Friends D. Three Important Points in Life
