When the seventeenth-century settlers brought the English language to America, they immediately and necessarily began to adapt (使适应) it to their new environment. These changes were early and criticized by some people on both sides of the Atlantic. However, after the Revolution, Americans began to be proud of their own form of English. Noah Webster was the major early supporter of American meanings and spellings over British ones and published the earliest American dictionary, An American Dictionary of the English Language. During the years since Webster, language differences have continued to develop, proving (证明) the truth of George Bernard Shaw’s often-repeated words that the two nations are “divided by a common language”.
Like the American language, the earliest American literature (文学) copied English models. However, after the Revolution and the War of 1812, writers began to create a clear American literature. However, in 1820, Sydney Smith asked the famous question “Who reads an American book?”
Answering to this and similar taunts (讽刺) with creative anger, American writers soon produced works that plenty of British people read. Works by Washing-ton Irving, Walt Whitman, and Mark Twain had been acclaimed greatly in Britain by the end of the nineteenth century.
Even as American writers got respect in Britain, British writers continued to have great influence in America. Charles Dickens went to America twice, in 1842 and 1867-68. Other major British writers who traveled and lived in the United States include D.H. Lawrence and Aldous Huxley. British best works continue to be widely read. The works of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen became popular films.
At the turn of the twenty-first century, many books and writers continue to cross the Atlantic in both directions — made possible by the proud heritage (继承) of the shared language.
1.The author of this passage seems to think ______.
A. British English is better than American English
B. American English is better than British English
C. the same language has divided the two nations
D. the same language has connected the two nations
2.From the question asked by Sydney Smith, we can infer ______.
A. the British looked down upon American books at first
B. the British found American books difficult to understand
C. the British thought highly of books written by Americans
D. the British had to translate American books into English ones
3.The underlined word “acclaimed” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A. sold B. discussed
C. welcomed D. refused
4.What made it possible for books and writers to cross the Atlantic in both directions?
A. The War of 1812. B. The American Revolution.
C. The language differences. D. The common language.

What is a dream?
For centuries, people have wondered about the strange places that they seem to visit in their sleep. 1. However, they have been valued as necessary to a person's health and happiness.
Historically people thought dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell about a person's character. 2. He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable in real life.
The second theory to become popular was Carl Jung's compensation theory. Jung, a former student of Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide something, but rather to communicate it to the dreamer. 3. Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.
Using more recent research, William Domhoff from the University of California found that dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop in humans. 4. Until they reach age five, they cannot express very well what their dreams are about. Once people become adults, there is little or no change in their dreams. The dreams of men and women differ. For instance, the characters that appear in the dreams of men are often other men, and often involve physical aggression.
The meaning of dreams continues to be difficult to understand. 5. If you dream that a loved one is going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to die.
A. It gives scientists chances to better understand human mind.
B. However, people should not take their dreams as reality.
C. Children do not dream as much as adults.
D. Dreams make up for what is lacking in waking life.
E. First, there was Sigmund Freud’s theory.
F. They think their mind is trying to tell them something.
G. They have been considered as meaningless nighttime journeys.

Every Wednesday，I go to Cantata Adult Life Services，a local retirement community，with my classmates to do community service．
Our visits last about an hour, playing board games and cards with the residents we’re there．
You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about“life back then”，but nothing with talking to the people who were actually there．Just hearing their stories has me in a way never thought possible．
Whether it was talking to 98-year-old“Hurricane Hilda”about her glory days a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely impressed by every single the residents wanted to share with me．
Even the residents who don't have memories make the experience fulfilling．I remember visiting Mrs．Robinson．She couldn’t much about her past，but she told me she'd forget how kind I was just to listen to her“rambling(漫淡）”. It made the realize that it's the things that make life worth living．That’s something I won't anytime.
If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata，it's that -just being there-means more than anything to many of the residents．And despite how our lives are, there’s always time to make them happy．
For me，it feels great to be a of happiness，a smile on a bad day or a(n) for old memories．And at the end of the day，that’s all that ．
It’s easy to feel like you don’t have much in common with the -especially，when you’re a(n) ．But that's not true at a11．
I hate to make much comment here，but age really is just a(n) ．As young adults，it's important for us to realize this sooner later．We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often from teenagers，too．
