He was there, he had them in his hands, and now they are missing.”Samuel remembered two days ago when he had brought out his coin collection for Everett to see. A
20、t the end of that day, Samuels mother asked him to take a note to Mr. Bates down the street, so he asked his friend, “Is it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?” Everett had said, “Go ahead. Ill clean up here,” pointing at the piles of coins on the floor. When Samuel had returned, he had done his
21、homework, had eaten dinner, and had read for a while before bed. It was not until two days later that he realized the quarters were gone.Emily said, “Why dont you just ask him?” “Ask him what? Hey, Best Friend, did you steal my coin collection?” Samuel thought for a moment, deciding if that would be
22、 a good idea. The theft of his collection left him with a feeling of betrayal (背叛). “How could I have misjudged my friend?”The next day Samuel went over to Everetts house. Everett was acting funny. In fact, Samuel thought Everett was acting like someone with a secret. Suddenly, Everett cried, “I can
23、t stand it anymore!” and pulled something from underneath the chair. “Go onopen it! I was going to wait until your birthday tomorrow, but I cant wait!”Slowly, Samuel lifted the top of the box.

How did these differences come about? There is no quick answer to this question.At first the language in Britain
28、 and America was the same. In 1776 America became an independent (独立的) country. After that, the language slowly began to change. For a long time the language in America stayed the same, while the language in England changed. For example, 300 years ago the English talked about “fall” Today, most Brit
29、ish people talk about “autumn”, but Americans still talk about “fall”. In the same way Americans still use the expression “I guess” ( meaning “I think”), just as the British did 300 years ago. At the same time, British English and American English started borrowing words from other languages, ending
30、 up with different words. For example, the British took “typhoon” from Chinese, while the Americans took “tornado” from Spanish.In 1828 Noah Webster published the first American dictionary.

31、hats why the words colour, centre and traveller are spelt color, center, and traveler in American English. Except for these differences in spelling, written English is more or less the same in both British and American English.The differences are greater in the spoken language. For example, American
32、 say dance dns, and in southern England they say da:ns. In America they pronounce not nat; in southern England they say nt. However, most of the time people from the two countries do not have any difficulty in understanding each other.45. When did the language in Britain and American slowly begin to
33、 change?A. After 1828.B. 300 years ago.C. After Britain stopped ruling the USA.D. 300 years after America became independent.46. British English is different from American English because _.A.
