to interestus.when the us was only about 20 years old, people were already saying that british accents soundedmore intelligent, according to erin moores book thats not english: britishisms, americanisms, and whatour english says about us.however, there are many different accents in britain moore says the uk may have just as manyregional (地区的) accents as the us, even though the population is almost one-fifth the size. in the uk,accents have a lot to do with class (阶层), but to many americans, even an accent that british people think is“low class” is thought of as intelligent and better, according to mpr news.american slang (俚语) has been part of british peoples vocabulary for a long time the number ofamerican television, movies and music enjoyed in the uk means that british people have been using wordslike “cool” and “awesome” for years now. but sometimes words from the uk make it to the us like“gobsmacked”.“gobsmacked” started as slang from northern england. “gob” means mouth, so the word means“surprised as if someone smacked (掌掴) you in the mouth”. reality television brought it to the us, mooresaid. when the singer susan boyle became famous for her unlikely great singing voice on the show britainsgot talent, she used it all the time. “im gobsmacked,” she repeated, and it got popular.“americans love a colorful piece of slang as much as anyone else,” said moore. and this is just oneexample of how britons and americans can leave each other “gobsmacked” with their different types ofenglish!32. what do american people think of british english?a. cool. b. low-class. c. intelligent. d. interesting.33. what can we know from the passage?a. there are more accents in britain than in the us.b. the uk is a large country with a small population.c. american slang is the most important part of british peoples vocabulary.d. in the uk, people of different classes speak differently.34. the word “gobsmacked” became widely used because of _.a. mpr news and the us b. erin
