There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(麋鹿自然保护区) is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes（丹顶鹤）in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crown Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for the wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.
1.The Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the ________ part of China.
A. Northeast B. northwest
C. southeast D. southwest
2.What is the weather usually like in the wetlands?
A. Hot B. Dry C. Cold D. Mild
3.When is the World Wetlands Day?
A. On June 25th. B. On April 22nd.
C. On March 23rd D. On February 2nd.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A. Wetlands ---- Valuable Land on the Earth
B. China’s Wetlands Are in the World’s List
C. Wetlands ---- Home for Wildlife and Human Beings
D. Special Animals in the Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands
There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.
When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realizing I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.
Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like that. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a pissed woman. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.
Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man to help her if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.
In order to communicate well with British people, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.
1. When Lily used the word “larder”, she was probably looking for a ______.
A. cup B. ladder
C. cupboard D. cooker
2.According to the passage, in British English ______.
A. the word “pissed” means angry
B. the word “jacket” is often used
C. the word “engaged” means tired
D. the word “rubber” means eraser
3.What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Pragraph2 mean?
A. Wrote down B. Cared about
C. Looked for D. Settled down
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The British way of using words.
B. Some new words the writer’s British friends taught her.
C. The reasons why Americans can’t followed the British at times.
D. Some words used differently in British English and American English.
Lisa: My best teacher is my geography teacher in 10th grade. Why? Because we did school projects! Back then I wrote about India and never forgot what I had learned. He brought the culture to life by letting me become part of it. He also listened to us and was always ready with a kind word.
