A
In the united states，boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name of secondary school is high school.
Most children go to public elementary （初级的）and secondary schools. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay for their children's education because taxes（税收）money support the public schools. If a child at a private（私人的）school，his parents have to pay for the child‘s education.
Today about half of the high school graduates go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money support from the government. A student at a state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive，however. Almost half of the college students in the USA work while they are studying as they want to be independent.

Many students want to know about the differences between American English and British English. How did these differences come about? There is no quick answer to this question. At first, the language in Britain and America was the same. In 1776, America became an independent country. After that, the language slowly began to change. For a long time, the language in America stayed the same, while the language in England changed. For example, 300years ago, the English talked about ―fall‖. Today, most British people talk about ―autumn‖, but Americans still talk about ―fall‖. In the same way Americans still use the expression ―I guess‖ (meaning ―I think‖), just as the British did 300 years ago.
At the same time, British English and American English started borrowing words from other languages, ending up with different words. For example, the British took ―typhoon‖ from Chinese, while the Americans took ―tornado‖ from Spanish. In 1828, Noah Webster published the first American dictionary. He wanted to make American English different from British English, so he changed the spelling of many words. That‘s why the words colour, centre and traveler are spelt color, center and traveler in American English. Except for these differences in spelling, written English is more or less the same in both British and American English.
The differences are greater in the spoken language. For example, Americans says
dance /d?ns/, and in southern England they say /dɑ:ns/. In America they pronounce not /nɑt/; in southern England they say /n?t/. However, most of the time people from the two countries do not have any difficulty in understanding each other.
26. When did the language in Britain English and American slowly begin to change?
A. After 1828 B. 300 years ago
C. After Britain stopped ruling the USA. D. 300 years after America became independent.
27. Britain English is different American English because __________. A. Britain and America published different dictionaries
B. American English changed but British English stayed the same C. British decided to change the spelling of many American words D. The American and British took different words from other countries 28. What‘s the passage mainly about?
A. Why English has become a popular language. B. How American and British English have changed. C. How people in two countries understand each other. D. Why Britain and America are two similar countries.
C
I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man entered and sat on an empty table beside us. He called the waiter and placed his order saying, ?Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall.‘ We heard this order with rather interest and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying ?A Cup of Coffee‘. A few minutes later, two other men entered and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two cups of coffee but paid for three and left. This time also, the waiter did the same; he pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying, ?A Cup of Coffee.‘ It seemed that this gesture was a normal here. However, it was something unique and puzzling for us. When we finished our coffee, we paid the bill and left.
