People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the

16th and 17th centuries. And in the 26 300 years， there were 27 many changes in

28 places that now people can 29 tell an English person 30 an American in the way he

or she talks.

Many old words 31 in England but were kept in America. For example ，300 years

ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they called either a

“faucet，” a “spigot，” or a “tap. ” All these words are 32 heard in different

parts of America， but only “tap”is still common in 33. Americans often made up

new words or changed old 34. “Corn” is one kind of plant in America and 35 in

England.

Also ， over the last three centuries the English language 36 thousands of new

words for things that weren’t known 37. And often， American and English people

used two 38 names for them. A tin can(洋铁罐头) is called “tin”for short in

England ， but a “can”in America. The word “radio”is 39 all over the world，

including(包括) America. But many English people call it a

“wireless. ”And

almost anything having something to do 40 cars， railroads ，etc.41 different names

in British and American English.

But now American and British English may be growing closer together. One 42

is the large amount(数量)of American speech that British people hear daily in

movies ， on television， or 43 travelers.44 this， Americans seem to be influencing

(影响) the British more and more. So some day， English may even be 45 on both

sides of the Atlantic(大西洋).

It is said， “The best house is in the U.S.A.， the best wife is in Japan， and the best

food is in China. ”So I took 26 and pleasure to 27 “the best food” for my American family.Each

day ，regardless of my poor skill of cooking，I performed(表演)my play in 28 way：changing the

dishes’ colour，the meat’s type or the soup’s style(风味).Thus ，my American friends could

discover the 29 of eating Chinese food. Because of my“30” job，I was often rewarded(奖励)

by their 31 of appreciation (感激) such as “very tasty”，

“excellent”, etc.

But the joke was here： yesterday ， I cooked Sichuan-style 32 for dinner. I was 33 at my

achievement(成就).

When all the family members arrived at the table，they first looked 34 at

the fish，then looked at me. “Why do all the fish have their 35?” they asked，“It’s horrible!”

Horrible or beautiful? I don’t know. But I 36 know that fish heads are delicious. The 37

is the best part of fish; in 38 only the respectable(受敬重的)guest can have the special 39

of enjoying it.

Another 40 thing is：the American friends often said to me“ 41 ”as they 42 fruits or other

things. According to Chinese tradition(传统) ，I would simply smile in answer to their

kindness 43 actually helping myself to any of the food.44，I said “help yourself” to them

whenever I brought home fruits.Dear me，no matter how much or how often I brought home food，

themselves” until all was finished.

and 32 holes in it. Sea water 33，of course， and the boat soon 34 . However ，

these people had 35 small boat： a life-boat and they all got into that. They

lived and 36 many days. They ate and slept， and they always hoped…At last a
