    If you've been studying for a while, you'll notice that there is more than one type of "English". The website, Big Seven Travel, made their list of the world's 50 most attractive accents, and many different kinds of English made the list.

    The main reasons that affect the way people speak a language are geographical – where they are in the world, and social – the way their communities speak. As a result, English has many differences in vocabulary and slang*.

    Located in two different places, the United States and the UK provide great examples. They often have different words for the same things. US people call the back part of a car, used for carrying big and heavy things or suitcases, the "trunk"; but in the UK, they call it the "boot". In the US, the word "boot" means a wheel clamp that police put on your car.

    Slang also causes confusion*. US slang is hugely different thanks to many kinds of people who have moved in the country. African-American slang is especially confusing for foreign language learners. It uses its own grammar. For example, "a person who is awake to reality" would be called "a woke person". Southern American slang also can be confusing. "I'm fixing to fix it," means, "I'm getting ready to fix it."

    Australian slang, meanwhile, is all about abbreviations. They say "sanga" for "sandwich", "brekkie" for breakfast, and "arvo" for "afternoon". It can make you wonder if either of these countries is actually speaking English.

English writer Virginia Woolf once wrote, "Language is wine upon the lips*." The next time you're speaking English with someone, check the accent on the bottle!

What was school like in ancient times? In Greece, 2,500 years ago, students used to get up at dawn to go to school. Classes began very early and ended when it was dark. Students didn't rest on weekends. They had classes seven days a week, so they didn't have much time for anything else. In Athens, only the sons of rich people went to school, and they started school around the age of seven. After they learned to read and write, they used to study Greek poems and historical works. Music was very important, and physical training was also important. Teachers used to hit students who didn't pay attention or were lazy. Girls stayed at home with their mothers and learned how to do housework.

In ancient Rome, boys and girls from wealthy families received a bilingual(双语) education. They had to study Greek and Latin. Students usually had classes outside, if the weather was good, or in the teacher's house. Young students sat on the floor. Older students used to sit on benches, higher up. That's how "high school"got its name.

Education was very important to the ancient Aztecs of Mexico. Boys and girls used to attend school, but they were kept in different classes. They learned Aztec history, myths, and rituals(宗教仪式), but they memorized(记住) everything because there weren't any textbooks. The boys received military training, and the girls learned how to manage the home and the family. There were two kinds of schools: one for children of rich families and another for children of ordinary families.

阅读下列三篇材料,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,

Zhi Nong was born in a small town in Yunnan Province. When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. Feeling like a caged (笼中的) bird in a big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature. 

His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot (拍摄) a documentary about birds. That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds. 

In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying how to use it. During that time, the library became his favorite place where he first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door for him to connect with nature. 

In 1992, a research program was set up to protect a type of unusual monkeys which only live in China. Usually, the home of these monkeys has half-a-year-long winters. It created great challenges for Zhi Nong's work, but he never drew back. "I didn't see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time," said Zhi Nong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of monkeys. 

Three years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the world Wildlife Photographer of the Year. 

In order to call up tons of people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started "China Wildlife Photography Training. Camp". He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection. 

 请阅读下面这篇文章,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整,并把答案写在答题卡指定的位置。

Do you like sports? If your answer is yes, sometimes you'll find it very difficult to have enough time to do it, even on weekends. However, you don't have to worry about it because of Sunshine Sports Program. It was launched (启动) by the Ministry of Education (教育部).

It suggests that students around the country should have an hour of sports every day. Students will be able to do any sport they like. The program is to make students happy and keep them healthy.

Han Jiawen, from Shanghai Yangsi Middle School, likes the idea. Han and her classmates skip ropes (跳绳) together. "We have a good time," Han said, "Playing is better than having classes."

Wang Lichao welcomes the idea, too. "It's good to be able to breathe some fresh air instead of sitting in the classroom." But the 14-year-old student from Tianjin wonders whether there will be enough space for everyone. "With so many students outside," he said. "I'm afraid there won't be enough standing room on the playground." Wu Jiatong's school is in Liaoning. Her favorite sport is running. Wu and other students like running for 40 minutes every morning. "It's tiring," Wu said. "But we do feel healthier. We hope we can do what we want."

What about your school? There must be more sports that interest you and your classmates.

A Special Day

 One day when I was seven years old, I went to a park with my parents and sisters. We played on the grass and sat on the see-saw(跷跷板). It was a wonderful day. 

 Now, as a parent, I often think of how my words and actions might influence my children. Something ordinary might just become a special memory for them. 

 Last year, when my son turned four, we had a special day. In the morning, we drove to the train station and bought two tickets. We stood on the platform, enjoyed the sunshine and watched the trains come and go. Soon afterwards, we caught our train. We took two window seats and watched houses, bikers and cars whiz by(呼啸而过). 

 After getting off the train, we walked to a restaurant. We sat, looked through the menu and asked each other what we would like to eat. We waited patiently for our food and tried everything we had ordered. The foods were all our favorite. 

 Then, we walked around the city center. We visited a toy shop and ended up buying a train. After all, it was the little man's birthday. We also enjoyed some hot chocolate at a coffee shop. Finally, we made our way back to the train station and returned home. 

 Every so often, my son will look at me with dreamy eyes and ask, "Mama, when can we have a special day again?"

 Sometimes, we go to a park; sometimes, we try out a new restaurant. We don't do this too oftenor it won't be specialBut we don't do it too rarelyeitheror we might forget how much we both love having them
