阅读理解。                                                 British English and American English
     A student is studying British English. He wonders: Can I have a talk with Americans? Can they catch
me? Learners of English often ask--what are the differences between British English and American
English? How important are these differences?
     Certainly, there are some differences between British English and American English. There are a few
differences in grammar（语法）. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have
you a pen?” Americans “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?” Pronunciation (发音) is sometimes
different. Americans usually sound the “r” in words like “car”and “farm”. Some speakers of British English do not sound the “r” in these words. There are differences between British English and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour”and “honour” are British English spellings. “Color” and
"honor” are American English spellings.
     These differences are in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary. However, they are not
important. For the most part, British English and American English are the same language.1. In American English, we can say, "                 ? " A. Have you a new book
B. Do you have a new book
C. Are you have a new book

任务型阅读。     In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she
teaches something behind—the culture (文化 ) of the country.
     In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to (注意)personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There
is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages (鼓励)personal thought ( 思想 ). The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer
and not only to get the correct answer.
     In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason,
the education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas. Children in China and Japan
often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often
very traditional.The teacher says,and the students listen.There is not much discussion.Instead,the students
repeat rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.
     In many ways these differences come from educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught
to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian( 亚洲 ) countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is pass knowledge ( 知识 ) to students.
1. Do students in the United States have to remember a lot of information?
_________________________________________________
2. In which country there is often discussion in the classroom, America or Japan?
_________________________________________________
3. What does the education in the United States encourage?
_________________________________________________
4. Which does the education in some Asian countries pay more attention to, group goals or personal
ideas?
_________________________________________________
5. Put the sentence "In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is pass
knowledge to students." into Chinese.

     Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took
days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and
pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country
and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.
     Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since (自从) the 18th century (世纪).
Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news
stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
     Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or
they may print completely (完全地) different stories to those on TV.
     Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don"t want to read stories about
everyday life As a result (结果), many stories are about some kind of danger and seem(似乎) to be
"bad" news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print
stories about plane accidents (事故).
     Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news
in foreign countries, but more prefer(更喜欢) to read stories about people, places and events (事件) in
their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from
the ones in British, French and American newspapers.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容填表格。
     What do you think of the most important inventions in the world? The TV? The printing? The
telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are
three other important inventions.
     One of the simplest inventions is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into rivers from people"s houses.
Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
     Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every
autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay became a kind of common
animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
     The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do "close work" after the age
of forty-five. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above forty-five.
