When I was a boy, one day, my classmates and I were going to pick berries (浆果). Before I was going out, my father called me back and said "Harry, I want to tell you one thing. When you find a good bush (灌木), don't leave it to try to find a better one. The other kids may run about, picking one or two berries here, and one or two there, and getting very few in the end. If you want to get more berries, stick to your bush!" I went with my classmates and we had a good time. But it was just as my father had said. Once one of my classmates found a good bush, he called to the others, and they would leave their places and run off to see what he had found. But I remembered my father's words and stuck to my bush. When I'd done with one, I went to another. When night came, I had a large basket of nice berries, more than all the others put together. And I wasn't so tired as they were. I went home happily that night. Now I've worked for 6 years, but I never forget the lesson. I always stick to my bush. When I had a good place and was getting on well, I wouldn't leave it and spend days or weeks trying to find a better place.

Most people already know some of the differences between British and American English. American English leaves out the “u” in colour, neighbour, honour, etc. Most people also know that a lot of words mean different things in them: a boot is the trunk of your car, a jumper is a sweater. But there are some other differences between the two that you might not have noticed at first sight. This is not a list of differences between the two. However, with British TV shows on American screens and vice versa (反之亦然), not to mention their interaction (相互影响) we're able to see on the Internet, it's possible that some British or American words have come into each other’s vocabulary, so some differences are starting to disappear. First, speakers of British and American English have different preposition preferences. These little words are so small that you might not have noticed the differences when talking to your British or American friends. Each example is grammatically correct, but one or the other might sound a little strange to you depending on where you're from: British English: I will come home at the weekend. American English: I will see her on the weekend. Second, there are a lot of differences in regular and irregular verbs in British and American English. That means that we add some endings to some verbs in one dialect(方言)that we don't in the other, but people can accept both of them. A couple of the verbs that are irregular in British English are burn, learn, and smell. These words are all regular in American English. For example: BE: She burnt the toast. AE: She burned the toast. There are also a couple of verbs that are irregular in American English but are regular in British English, including dive, fit, and wet. For example: BE: She dived into the lake. AE: She dove into the lake. There are other differences between British and American English. Both of them have developed over time, and hey have a deep influence upon each other. 【1】Why do the differences between British and American English become fewer? A.Because the Internet develops so fast. B.Because TV shows have an influence on them. C.Because dictionaries of them are changed. D.Because they accept some words into each other’s vocabulary. 【2】What can we know about the preposition preference? A.They are usually hard to find. B.They can be found mainly through sounds. C.They may cause some grammatical mistakes. D.They are greatly valued by British and American people. 【3】What can we infer about the difference between regular and irregular verbs? A.They just appear in British English. B.They are mainly found in American English. C.They cause problems in communication. D.They may not affect people's understanding. 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.The influences of British and American English. B.The ways to tell British English apart from American English. C.The differences between British and American English . D.The steps to learn differences between British and American English. |

What can you do to say "Thank you in a meaningful way? Here are five creative ways to say"Thank you"that your friends and family will always remember! 【1】 Don't worry about how long it takes for a letter to arrive. What really matters is that you take the time to put pen to paper and express your feeling honestly! 【2】 Sometimes, actually hearing someone say "Thank you"can make all the difference. Why not take it a step further and create a special video of thanks for your friends, family, and those special people who helped you through the hard times? 【3】There's no need to wait until "later" to send a thank-you message to people who helped you. Why not do it right away? Create gift bags with surprises inside. This is a great way to say thanks. 【4】 A simple hug, or helping out when they need it without being asked may be the most powerful gratitude (感谢) message you can send. Offer to take the dogs for a walk, or sit for the kids for a few hours. Sometimes your willingness(乐意) to help is all that really matters. 【5】 The best gifts come from the heart, and the best way to repay a gift is to pay it forward. If your friend has a special cause they care about, why not volunteer some of your time to the cause? This will mean more than any number of candies, or a thank-you note. This is because you're taking your friend's love seriously and spreading it around to others. A.Make surprise gifts for them. B.You should always be there for them. C.Making a video can also be a great way. D.Writing a letter is a largely lost art form. E.Repay their generosity(慷慨) by paying it forward. F.Do some small but meaningful things to show your thanks. |
