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 theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. speakers of british english do not sound theirs 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.21.according to this passage, a student who is learning to speak american english might be afraid that _. a. british people cannot understand him b. american people cannot understand him c. the grammar is too hard for him d. the spelling is too hard for him22. american english and british english are different in _. a. spelling b. pronunciation c. grammar d. all of the above23. what is not mentioned (提及) in the passage?

breakfast? sofa? what kind of workplace is this? well, actually it is johns house, and he is a telecommuter(远距离工作者) -he works at home, communicating with the workplace through the internet.like john, millions of people - and their employers - are finding that telecommuting is a great way to work. telecommuters can follow their own timetables. they work in the comfort of homes, where they can also look after young children or elderly parents. they save time and money by not traveling to work. their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture. studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often. this saves employers even more money. telecommuting helps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems.jobs that are fit for telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting. if a job is related to working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.25. from the passage we can learn that john does his job _. aby telephone bthrough the internet cin his office daway from home26. one of the advantages of telecommuting is that you can _. a. work for several employers b. enjoy a lot of traveling c. get along well with other workers d. work on your own timetable27. telecommuters change jobs less often, so . a. their employers can save money b. their employers will give them a higher pay c. they can get more work experience d. they will have a longer paid holidaycno one can change the weather. nobody can control the weather. but if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. this way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting（天气预报）. for many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. that many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. some birds fly high if the weather is fine, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. if you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. such rainbows come in the evening. if the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. if a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. if the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. if a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.28. which is true about weather forecasting? a. weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like. b. weather forecasting is a report about the weather. c. weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain. d. people can change the weather forecasting. 29. which of the following can be used here to replace the underlined phrase “on the way”?
