Can they understand 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. However, British English and American English are almost exactly the same, for there are only small differences in the following small areas.The first difference between British English and American English is in vocabulary. Almost all the words used in British English and American English are exactly the same. Only a small number of words are used differently. For example, speakers of British English tend to use words like “lift”, “flat” and “underground” while Americans prefer “elevator”, “apartment” and “subway” etc.The second difference between British English and American English is in pronunciation. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound these words.The third difference is in grammar. For example, s peakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?’ while Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?”Another difference is very small. This is the difference in spelling. A few kinds of words are spelled differently in British English and American English.For example, “colour”, “programme”, “metre” and “theatre” are British while “color ”, “program”, “meter”and “theater” are American.These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however.

Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.“It seems that positive(积极的) feelings may reduce (减少)the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen. In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen’s interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. Bu t for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried ab o ut your health, look on the bright er side more often.71.

There are some differences between British English and American English. However, British English and American English are almost exactly the same, for there are only small differences in the following small areas.The first difference between British English and American English is in vocabulary.

Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound these words.The third difference is in grammar.

This is the difference in spelling. A few kinds of words are spelled differently in British English and American English.For example, “colour”, “programme”, “metre” and “theatre” are British while “color ”, “program”, “meter” and “theater” are American.

In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen -Listen when they are talking.

Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them - Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times.

But if you can‟t stay with me at w orst, you are sure not to deserve(值得) to be with me at my best.” Always remember this!

Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It‟s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.“It seems that positive(积极的) feelings may reduce (减少)the danger of illness,” said thestudy‟s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen‟s interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. Bu t for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried ab o ut your health, look on the bright er side more often.86.

Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.“It seems that positive(积极的) feelings may reduce (减少)the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen’s interviewed193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. Bu t for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried ab o ut your health, look on the bright er side more often.71.

It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered, what questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the rule for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it. No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me.My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens, so he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu” and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth” and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course. “He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper. “He’s big enough and useless enough,” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me. As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down quickly and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.“Do you want to join my team?” he said.At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.1. The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT“________”.A.How old are you? B.Where are you from?C.Do you want to join my team? D.When did you come back to London?2. We can learn from the passage that ________.A.boys were usually unfriendly to newB.the writer was not greeted as he expected studentsC.Brian praised the writer for his cleverness D.the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper3. The underlined part “I didn’t stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was NOT ________.A.eye-catching B.nervous C.important D.surprised4. The writer was offered a handkerchief because ________.A.he was in Brian’s team B.he was no longer a new comerC.he was beginning to be accepted D.he pushed a player on the other team3. Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists: Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learnon their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines might decide the world would be better without humans.Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls and think of what’s happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be extremely dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.1. What is Scientist B worried about?A.AI technology will destroy the earth. B.Robots will take the place of humans.C.Computers can’t think by themselves.D.Humans will be unhappy withoutmachines.2. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?A.I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.B.We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.C.“Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.D.“Murderbots” can’t decide by themselves.3. Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?A.The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.B.Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.C.“Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.D.All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.4. Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?A.Scientist A. B.Scientists B & C. C.Scientist B. D.Scientists B & A.4. Something you may not know about End of HeatThe traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. End of Heat is the 14th solar term of the year, which implies that most parts in China are getting rid of the hot summer and entering autumn. But in some areas, especially in South China, autumn is late in coming and people are still bothered by hot weather. End of Heat is also the busy harvest season for farmers.The following are the things you should know about End of Heat.Time for night-blooming cereus (昙花)The night-blooming cereus is a flower full of mystery, which often blooms during the period of End of Heat. This is because the climate during End of Heat, characterized by warm days and cold nights, is similar to tropical deserts. Night-blooming cereus originates in the tropical deserts from Mexico to Brazil in South America. They blossom at night to avoid the blazing daytime sun.Eating DuckDuck has a sweet flavor and according to Chinese traditional medicine it has a “cool” nature. A folk tradition is to eat duck during the End of Heat period. There are many recipes for cooking duck such as roast duck, cooked duck with lemon, smoked duck with walnut dressing and sautéed duck with ginger shoots. The tradition of eating duck during the End of Heat period is still popular in China.The Fishing Season FestivalFor fishermen, the End of Heat is a season of harvest. During this period,the Fishing Season Festival is held in regions along the coastline of the East China Sea in Zhejiang province. The festival is held on the day when the fishing ban ends and fishermen can start fishing again. Due to high temperatures in the sea, stocks of fish remain and become mature. People can enjoy many kinds of seafood during this period.1. About End of Heat, which of the following statements is true?A.It means the whole China has entered autumn.B.The areas beyond the Great Wall are still hot.C.In south China, the temperature is still high.D.It is the end of the harvest season for farmers.2. Where did you think the night-blooming cereus initially came from?A.Temperate areas. B.Tropical areas. C.Cold areas. D.Polar areas.3. Why is it a folk tradition to eat duck during the End of Heat period?A.Because there are no other animals to eat.B.Because the duck has a “cool” nature.C.Because it tastes especially delicious at that time.D.Because there are many recipes for cooking duck.5. The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 1 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.1. CuriosityYour children need to be deeply curious. 2 Ask kids, “What ingredients (配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?” and then try them out. Did those ingredients make the pancakes better? What could we try next time?2. CreativityTrue creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it. 3 There are a dozen different things you can do with them. Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity.3. Interpersonal SkillsUnderstanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what’s going on inside our own head, but what about others? Being able to read people helps kids from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. 4 “Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at hi s face? If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”4. Self-expression5 There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas — music, acting, drawing, building, photography.

Almost all the words used in British English and American English are exactly the same. Only a small number of words are used differently. For example, speakers of British English tend to use words like “lift”, “flat” and “underground” while Americans prefer “elevator”, “apartment” and “subway” etc.The second difference between British English and American English is in pronunciation. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound these words.The third difference is in grammar.

This is the difference in spelling. A few kinds of words are spelled differently in British English and American English.For example, “colour”, “programme”, “metre” and “theatre” are British while “color ”, “program”, “meter” and “theater” are American.These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however.

Our reporter Mary Owen met him at his home in the south of London and he told her all about the trip. R: What gave you the idea to make a trip around India on an elephant, Chris?

R: What did you do next?C: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant; I needed an elephant trained to carry people. I didn’t know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert(专家) for help. He taught me how to ride an elephant.He also helped me find an elephant.R: How long did it take to find a suitable elephant?C: Not too long. I bought an elephant called Tara for about 6, 000 dollars. R: Can you tell me about the journey?C: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were going to Sonepur in northern India. There is a big elephant market there and I could sell Tara easily. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles anhour and Sonepur is more than 1, 200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.R: Did you have any problems on your journey?C: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot.But that got better quickly.

Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.“It seems that positive(积极的) feelings may reduce (减少)the danger ofillness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen’s interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. Bu t for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried ab o ut your health, look on the bright er side more often.71.
