When I was ten, my mother told me that my voice would change soon. She said that it would be funny to listen to the voice. I couldn’t understand then, but soon I got the experience.
When I was 12, I found that my voice sounded a little lower than before. Slowly, it started to become very strange. And it often made my parents laugh.

When we were leaving, my mother asked me to show my gratitude to the host(主人) of the dinner. So I said, “Thank you for the nice dinner.” But the last word wasn’t exactly(确切地) “dinner.” It sounded very strange because my voice broke on the last word. I thought the host might not give an ear to me, so I asked, “Did you hear that?” This time, my last word sounded strange as well. That should be enough, but I said, “It happened again!” And as I did so, my sound was still strange.

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes there are some important differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of (代替)“I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference. Words sometimes have different meanings too. For example, the vocabulary(词汇) for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks(卡车), but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions(短语) are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”
There’re also some differences in grammar(语法). For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?”
Most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
31.What does the word “separately” mean in this passage? It means “_____”.
A. 含糊地 B. 快速地 C. 分开地 D. 简略地
32.The vocabulary for cars and driving is _____.
A. an example of British English B. an example of American English
C. the same in America and England D. Different in America and England
33.Languages _____.
A. are always changing as time passes B. keep unchanged even if time changes
C. are always the same in all places D. are easy for students to learn
34.Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A.American people usually say “ I don’t know” instead of “ I dunno ”.
B.There are four differences between American and British English.
C.Canadians speak all the same French as Frenchmen.
D.When people live in different places, the language is still the same .
35.This passage is mainly about _____.
A. English vocabulary and expressions.
B. how American sounds are different from British sounds
C.different word meanings in American and British English.
D. some differences between American and British English

What were things like when I was a child? Oh, I lived on a farm in the country, and I got up at 6:15 every morning. There were lots of animals on the farm and sometimes I helped my father feed them before breakfast. I like animals and I enjoyed it-especially because I didn’t have to make the bed when I helped him. My home was a little far from my school. So my father bought a bike for me. Sometimes I caught a bus to school when the weather wasn’t good. I liked my school a lot. I had to do my homework from 7:00 to 9:30 every evening. What else? Well, I didn’t have to worry about anything, like money and bread. That time was interesting and exciting, but a little short. Maybe it is the happiest time in my life.
