People from Great Britain brought the English language to North
America in the16th and 17th centuries. And in the 26 300 years, therewere 27 many changes in 28 places that now people can 29 tell an Englishperson 30 an American in the way he or she talks.

Americans often made upnew words or changed old 34. “Corn” is one kind of plant in Americaand 35 in England.
Also, over the last three centuries the English language 36thousands of new words for things that weren’t known 37. And often,American and English people used two 38 names for them. A tin can(洋铁罐头) is called “tin”for short in England, but a “can”in America. Theword “radio”is 39 all over the world,including(包括) America. Butmany English people call it a “wireless. ”And almost anything havingsomething to do 40 cars, railroads,etc.41 different names in British andAmerican English.
But now American and British English may be growing closertogether. One 42 is the large amount(数量)of American speech thatBritish people hear daily in movies, on television, or 43 travelers.44 this, Americans seem to be influencing(影响) the British more andmore.

I spent two months with an American family last year when I studiedin America.It is said, “The best house is in the U.S.A., the bestwife is in Japan, and the best food is in China. ”So I took 26 and pleasureto 27 “the best food” for my American family.Each day,regardless of mypoor skill of cooking,I performed(表演)my play in 28 way:changing
the dishes’ colour,the meat’s type or the soup’s style(风味).Thus,myAmerican friends could discover the 29 of eating Chinese food. Because ofmy“30” job,I was often rewarded(奖励)by their 31 of appreciation(感激) such as “very tasty”,“excellent”, etc.
But the joke was here: yesterday, I cooked Sichuan-style 32 fordinner. I was 33 at my achievement(成就). When all the familymembers arrived at the table,they first looked 34 at the fish,then looked atme. “Why do all the fish have their 35?” they asked,“It’s horrible!”
Horrible or beautiful? I don’t know. But I 36 know that fish headsare delicious. The 37 is the best part of fish; in 38 only the respectable(受敬重的)guest can have the special 39 of enjoying it.
Another 40 thing is:the American friends often said to me“ 41 ”asthey 42 fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition(传统),Iwould simply smile in answer to their kindness 43 actually helping myself toany of the food.44,I said “help yourself” to them whenever I broughthome fruits.Dear me,no matter how much or how often I brought homefood,as long as it was nice to their taste,they 45 hesitated(犹豫) to usetheir hands to “help themselves” until all was finished.
