When I was fourteen, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand French. I believed that I wouldn't have any 1 problems when I went to America. So I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday there.

How2 I was! The misunderstanding (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to call my friend Danny who had been in America for two years and told her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking confused and asked if he could 3 me.

"Yes," I said, "I want to give my friend a ring."

"Well, that's nice," he said. "Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit too 4 ?"

"Who is talking about marriage?" I replied. "I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me 5 the phone box is?"

"Oh! I see. " he said, "There's a phone downstairs."

When Danny and I met up, she explained the misunderstanding to me. Then I knew "Give somebody a ring" could mean deciding to get engaged or marry someone else. I felt shamed for myself.

"Don't worry," she said to me. "I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You'll soon 6 all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other!

Back in the 15th century, in a small village in Germany, lived a family with eighteen children, Eighteen! In order to keep food on the table, the father, a poor man, worked almost eighteen hours a day. Despite(尽管) their 1 conditions, two of the eldest children had a dream. They both wanted to make a success in art, 2 they knew well that their father would never be able to 3 either of them to study at college. 

After many long discussions at night in their 4 bed, the two boys finally reached an agreement. They would toss(掷) a coin. The 5 would go down into the nearby mines(矿井), and, with his money, 6 the winner for college. Then, in the next four years, the winner would support(资助) the loser. Then Albrecht Dürer won the toss and left for college. His brother Albert went 7 into the dangerous mines. 

Four years later, when Albrecht Dürer, the young artist 8 home and said to his brother, "And now, Albert, it is your 9 . You can go to college to achieve your dream, and I will 10 you. "

Albert rose and wiped(擦) the tears from his cheeks, "No, brother. I cannot go to college. It is too 11 for me. Look...look what four years in the mines has done to my 12 . They cannot make beautiful lines on pictures 13 a pen or a brush. They can net even hold a glass. "

More than 450 years has 14 . By now, Praying Hands is the one that can 15 the world's hearts among Albrecht Dürer's hundreds of wonderful portraits.
