A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?
Certainly! There are some differences between British and American English. ‘There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?” Americans say “in the hospital!” and “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound the / r /s in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound the /r/ s in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British, “color” and honor” are American.
These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.

Jimmy was a twenty-year-old man. His father was a teacher and taught physics in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. Luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. His sister was so sad that she became a nun(修女). After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.
One day the young man fell to ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital. He said to the nurse, “I’m a poor man, madam. Arrange a third-class ward(三等病房) for me, please.”
“Can’t anybody help you?”
“No, madam,” answered Jimmy. “I have only a sister. She’s a nun and she’s poor, too.”
“I don’t think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God. And God is the richest in the world, you know!”
“Well, then,” Jimmy said with a smile. “Please arrange a first-class（一等） ward for me and post the bill to my brother-in-law（姐夫）.”

I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.
In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.
In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.
Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved anywhere else.
49. Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?
A. Because they were born there.
B. Because it was a better educational town.
C. Because the writer began his fifth grade.
D. Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.
50. How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?
A. About 80. B. About 160. C. About 220. D. About 300.
51. What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. None of. B. The whole of
C. A large number of D. A small number of
52. Why can’t the writer forget Edison?
A. Because he regards it as his hometown. B. Because his parents got new jobs there.
C. Because there are many Asians there. D. Because it is in the state of New Jersey.

D
As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.
In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.
American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.
In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.
53. Activities outside of the classroom refer to __________.
A. what the students do after class in school
B. what the students learn in extra classes
C. what a music group or a sports team do
D. what the teachers do after class for the students
54. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.
B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.
C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.
D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.
55. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.
A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a university
B. none of the schools in cities are good for learning
C. suburban high schools are good places for learning
D. all the American students want to go to university
