British English is the form of English used in the United Kingdom. It includes all English dialects used within the UK. Written forms of American and British English as found in newspapers and textbooks vary little in their essential features, with only occasional noticeable differences in comparable media. This kind of formal English, particularly written English, is often called standard English. An unofficial standard for American spoken English has also developed, as a result of the mass media. The spoken forms of British English vary considerably, reflecting a long history of dialect development. Dialects and accents vary not only between the countries in the UK, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, but also within these individual countries. There are also differences in the English spoken by different groups of people in any particular region. Received Pronunciation ( RP), which is the educated spoken English of Southeast England , has traditionally been regarded as proper English. This is also referred to as BBC English or the Queens English. The BBC and other broadcasters now use a mix of presenters/announcers with a variety of British accents and dialects, and the concept of proper English is now far less popular. British English and American English are the reference norms (规范，标准) for English as spoken, written, and taught in the rest of the world. Although the dialects of English used in the former British Empire are often, to various extents, based on British English, most of the countries concerned have developed their own dialects, particularly with respect to pronunciation, idioms, and vocabulary; chief among them are Canadian English and Australian English, which rank third and fourth in number of native speakers.24.

There are more native speakers of English in Canada than in America. D. Canadian and Australian dialects based on British English have changed a great deal. CE-reading and e-books are slowly conquering the world. Compared to traditional paper books, e-books in some schools and universities attract more interest because the information flow seems much easier to manage and comes in a greatly higher quantity. Japan is known for the progressive attitude towards the gadget(精巧装置)world and for the fact that it is one of the first countries that encouraged in the educational system the emailing of homework. The digital textbook looks like the logical step in the world of learning. It is natural but it is also completely untraditional. The plan of the largest publishing companies to get in line with the trend is to save a large quantity of paper and make the kids become interested in learning using a cool gadget. Many US universities and colleges have made students be used to the procedure of down- loading the courses and of course the procedure involves interactive (互动的) software and also the chance of using the computer. The traditional education sstem is still unwilling when it comes to giving up books. The standard approach of information taught out of a book and Shakespeare read out of an old school novel makes studying English as traditional as it can be. But in a world where kids would rather see the movie than read a book, die digital age has brought along a completely different flavor to reading. Bringing that flavor in school will make teaching a greener and also a completely different matter.28. For what do the e-books attract more interest of students? A. Its easier to understand. B.

She knew I have a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would love it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldnt otherwise have been able to afford. When I met her father, he began to explain he was poor once too and that he would hate to throw away things that can be very useful. Before he showed me what he was giving away, I thought the toys would be mostly legos(乐高积木) or things like that. When he was showing me around I saw a bed, a slide(滑梯) , a kitchen set and man7 0ther things that just blew my mind. He told me to write a list of everything my daughter could use and as my eyes were wide, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was helping him by getting rid of the stuff. As I was looking around I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty because he told me too. Every time I tried to thank him for giving me and my daughter all this wonderful stuff he would thank me right back. I wanted to believe that he was just thanking me so that I wouldnt feel so guilty but in reality I believe that he was as grateful as I was that these toys would be put to good use.In the eyes of charity, it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal.
