25、   One day during our holiday in England, my friend and I went to the train station to buy tickets to London. As native (本土的) speakers of English, we did not expect to have problems in English.

“Two tickets to London, please.” I said to the ticket seller

“Single?” the ticket seller asked me.

I thought that she couldn’t hear me clearly, “Two tickets to London!” I shouted.

At that moment a man helped us. He said that “a single ticket” in Britain doesn’t mean “one ticket”, it means “a one-way ticket”.

My experience in England taught me that there are some differences between British and American English. An Englishman may ask, “Would you like white coffee or white tea?” And an American asks, “Would you like your coffee or tea with milk?” We can find some differences such as the British saying “He’s in hospital”, but the American saying “He’s in the hospital”. Americans write words like color without the “u” of the English colour.

How much do you know about the differences between British and American English?

【1】The writer spent his holiday in_________.

A.America B.England C.China D.Canada

【2】The writer thought the ticket seller was_________.

A.a good listener B.a careful listener C.a blind person D.bad at hearing

【3】“A single ticket” in England means_________.

A.only one ticket

B.a one-way ticket

C.a ticket for two

D.a ticket for one

【4】The writer learned in England that there are_________differences between British and American English.

A.few B.no C.two D.some

【5】In Britain, if you want your coffee with milk, you should say, “I'd like_________.”

A.some milk B.black coffee C.white milk D.white coffee

26、   Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.

One day, my mother was sewing（缝）a quilt. I silently sat beside her.

"Mum, is there love between you and Dad?" I asked in a very low voice.

With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread（线）. It can hardly be seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside."

I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.

After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed that they were the happiest couple.

After two months my father still couldn't walk by himself.

"Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.

"Susan, don't worry about me," he said. "I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

【1】Susan's father stayed in hospital for ________.

A.one day B.one month C.two months D.three months

【2】Susan came to understand her mother _______.

28、   Studying hard for a few days can be tiring, but it always pays off! Most people can c【1】 remember the fear they felt when they realized that an exam was coming near. If you are in this situation, don’t w【2】. Many people have proved that there is enough time to study if you organize it well. Here are some i【3】 to help you.

Calm down! Fear will only make your situation much w【4】. You will be focusing on the horror, not the coming exam. Many times, fear can even stop you from doing well in the exam. If you are nervous, take a deep b【5】, and tell yourself that you can do this well.

Study the most important topics first. Exams usually cover a few main ideas, contents, or skills. When you are short of time, go o【6】 the most important topics in textbooks and the parts your teacher said again and again. These are all clues for you to study first.
