yes, and add to that australian english. and any other variety that is useful for your needs. if you intend to study in the united kingdom, or work for a british company, then obviously you will need to spend more time on british english (bre). if you plan to work in the united states, then you will need to pay attention to american english (ame). however, lets make the task a little easier for you. some differences in bre/ame vocabulary are more difficult to deal with than others. (see the chart.) in addition to the categories（种类） on the chart, there is another category which could be described as unguessable, but the words are less important to learn. such differences as aubergine / eggplant, spring onion / scallion, jug /pitcher may be interesting, but you should not give them priority as they are less frequently used.categorybreameeasy：known in the united kingdom but not necessarily in the us.chipsbiscuitcall boxrubbishengagedrench friescookietelephone boothgarbagebusyguessable:you can guess these without too much difficulty.tieautumncookery bookgentsmotorwaynecktiefallcookbookmens roomexpressway/freewayunguessable:important tolearn both.trouserspantsangrypavementqueuepantsunderwearmadsidewalkline39. when a man says “in the fall, my wife bought me a few more pants”, we know that he is probably from _. a. australia b. britain c. america d. new zealand 40. when someone says “hes engaged. dont bother him, or hell get angry.”, in ame it means “hes _. dont bother him, or hell get _”. a. studying; mad b. married: angry c. mad; busy d. busy; mad41. what does the underlined word “priority” in the passage mean? a. earlier time. b. special attention. c. unimportance. d. special right. camerican and british people use different greetings. in the usa the commonest greeting is “hi”. in britain it is “hello!” or “how are you?”. “hi!” is creeping(不知不觉地进入) into british, too. when they are introduced to someone, the americans say, “glad to know you.” the british say, “how do you do?” or “pleased to meet you.” when americans say “good-bye”, they nearly always add, “have a good day.” or “have a good trip.” etc. to friends and strangers alike. britains are already beginning to use “have a good day.”the british usually use “got” in the sense of “have”. the americans hardly ever do.ame: do you have a car, room, etc.? yes, i do.bre: have you got a car, room, etc.? yes, i have.there are a number of differences between american and british english in the spelling of words, e.g. check(us)/cheque (uk). many american words ending in “or”, e.g. honor, labor are spelt in british english with an “our,” e.g. honor, labor. many verbs in american english with “ize” or “izing” forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in bre with “ise” or “ising”, e.g. organize, realizing. in american english, “practice” is used both for the verb and noun. in bre, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice.” in american english, one writes “traveler,” while in british english, one writes “traveller”.it was once predicted that british and american english would become separate languages finally. but the opposite has happened. the links(联系) between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上地),and probably culturally(文化上地) too, they are closer together than ever.42. the americans hardly say “_” a. good-bye. have a good day! b. glad to know you! c. hi! d. have you got a car?43. what does the fifth paragraph talk about?
