I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I take part in a race in the sports meeting. At first, I could not run fast and fell behind. So I didn’t lose heart and kept running. My classmates on the playground were exciting and they all cheered me on, “Come on!” Thanks to their encouragement, it was not long after I caught up with all the other runner. In the end, I was the first to reach to the finishing line. I felt very proudly of myself. Many of my classmates threw me down into the air. Just at that moment we woke up and found myself still lying in bed. What interesting dream!

It may be common knowledge that what British people call “football” is known as “soccer” in the US, and “colour” in British English (BrE) goes without the “u” in American English (AmE). But according to a chart made recently by website Grammar Check, these are far from being the only differences between the two countries, use of English. The chart outlined 63 of the main contrasts (对照) between BrE and AmE, from the more well-known “lift/elevator” and “autumn/fall” to the lesser-known “garden/yard” and “petrol/gasoline”.
Some of the vocabulary mismatches are so different that two people in a conversation may fail to understand each other. For example, the two countries have different names for certain food. “Biscuits” and “sweets” in Britain are known as “cookies” and “candies”, respectively, in the US. But while getting food names mixed up only causes puzzle, some misunderstandings may lead to embarrassment (尴尬) if you’re not careful. If a British man in the US is asked to show up a party in “pants”, there’s a chance that he might get a lot of stares from other guests. “Pants” in the UK means underwear. “Trousers” are what you need to ask a British friend to wear if you don’t want them to cause a scene among your friends.
However, even if 63 is already a lot, there are still many differences that the chart failed to cover. If a US girl walks into a UK barber and says “I want to have my bangs fixed’’, for example, it could take a while before the hairdresser realizes what she means is actually her “fringe”.

C. there are many differences between BrE and AmE
D. people are much more familiar with “lift/elevator”
2.The underlined word “respectively” in paragraph 2 means .

C. respectfully D. similarly
3.If a British man is asked to attend a party in “pants”, he might .
A. feel uncomfortable or ashamed
B. be attractive among his friends
C. be puzzled at others’ dresses
D. ask for a pair of trousers instead
4.We can conclude from the last paragraph that .
A. the British are slow in understanding
B. the chart includes all the differences
C. the hairdresser doesn’t know “bang”
D. AmE differs quite a lot from BrE
Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature .However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
