American and British use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is “Hi”. In Britain it is “Hello！” or “How are you？”. “Hi！” is creeping(不知不觉的)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. Britons are already beginning to use “Have a good day”．
The British usually use “got” in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do. Am.E Do you have a car, room，etc.？Yes, I do. Br.E Have you got a car, room, etc.? Yes, I have.
Finally, there are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e.g.check(US)/cheque(U); center(US)/centre(U). Many American words ending in “or”, e.g. honor, vigor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our”， e.g. honour, vigour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize”or “izing” forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in Br.E “ise”or “ising”，e.g.organise，realising.In American English, “practice”is used both for the verb and noun.In Br.E, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice”. In the main, American English avoids the doubling up of consonants(辅音字母)in nouns and verbs while British English does not.In American English, for example, one writes “travel, traveled, traveling, traveler,” while in British English, one writes “travel, travelled, travelling, traveller”．
It was once predicted that British and American English would became separate languages finally. But the
opposite has happened. The links(连接)between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上的), and probably culturally(文化上的)too, they are closer together than ever. 36．The Americans hardly say________ A．Good-bye.Have a good day! C．Hi!
37．A British writes________.
A．cheque；center B．honor；organise C．traveled；practice D．labour；traveller 38．What does the fifth paragraph talk about?
A．There are lots of differences in spelling between Am.E.and Br.E. B．Why do the Americans and the British use different spellings? C．There are few differences in spelling between Am.E.and Br.E. D. The different usages of words in Am.E and Br.E 39．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The two languages will become separate languages. B．American English will be used more and more. C．The two languages will be closer and closer. D．British English will be used more and more.

You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a popular song at various advertisements. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in the following places：
1．Chinese character are written in the complex(复杂的)form. Although simplified(简单的) Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form.
2．Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning at all.
3．Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning. “Ba”(霸), which means bully(巨大的)in Chinese, is one example. Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or firms, with “Ba”in their names.
4．There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some films have strange names and incorrect grammatical structures(结构). “Ai ni mei shang liang”， which means “I love you without consulting”， is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.
Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done_away_with，which is an idea shared by many others and myself.

Rome had the Forum. London has Speaker's Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill. Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. Just talk.
Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says，“Talk to Me.” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.
They don't collect money. They don't push religion(宗教). So what's the point?
“To see what happens”， said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open communication(交流)．”
Shortly after the September 11,2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.
“It started as a crazy idea，”Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.”
Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.
Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind，”Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good，”she explained.
To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.
They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they'll consider. 44．What did Liz and Bill start doing after September 11,2001? A．Chatting with people. C．Telling stories to strangers.
B．Setting up street signs. D．Organizing a speaker's corner.
45．What they have been doing can be described as________. A．pointless B．Normal
C．crazy D．successful
46．Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text? A．They knew Liz and Bill very well.
B．They happened to meet the writer of the text. C．They organized the get-together in the city park.
D．They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill. 47．What will Liz and Bill do in the future? A．Go in for publishing.
C．Continue what they are doing.
B．Do more television programs. D．Spend more time reading books.

My first reaction was annoyance. It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read：“Mrs. Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision(视觉模糊)ever since her medical test this morning.” I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.
This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting(用……代替)St . John's word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.
My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She's probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn't have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.
What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The -raytechnician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.
48．The writer
smiled while reading the patient message because he knew________. A．Mrs. Jones would ask for more tests C．the nurse was joking with him
49．What had caused Mrs . Jones' eye problem? A．Wrong glasses. C．Her own imagination.
B．Medical checkup. D．Chatting on the Internet.
B．the patient was being unreasonable D．Mrs. Jones would call him
50．The underlined words “clouded her judgment ”in the last paragraph probably mean________. A．made her less trustful toward the doctor B．put her in control of her own feelings C．made her less able to think clearly D．put her in a dangerous situation
