I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don't say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know". Or they may say "Whaddya say?" instead of "What did you say?" however, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them _ . Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you "phone them up". In America, you "give them a call". There're also some differences in grammar. For example, when Americans ask a question., they say "Do you have a storybook?" But the British often say "Have you a storybook?" All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France. Question: The vocabulary for cars and driving is _ . Options: A: an example of British English B: an example of American English C: the same in America and England D: not the same in America and England

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do?" as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation ? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It's important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can't understand the speaker's sentence easily.Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two sentences:"She only likes apples. " "Only she likes apples. " When you are learning English, you must use it as the English speaker does. Question: We can learn from the passage that _ . Options: A: the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words B: the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence C: sometimes different order of words has a different meaning D: if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: How green are you? Do you know how to be green? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young,we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Reduce Reduce means "use less",Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary--or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. Reuse Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things,make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again. Recycle Recycle means "change things into something else". Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials,such as recycled paper, to help save trees. So please remember these three words:reduce, reuse and recycle. Question: The passage may come from _ . Options: A: a menu B: a dictionary C: a storybook D: a magazine
