　　People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries.And in the 1 300 years，there were 2 many changes in 3 places that now people can 4 tell an English person 5 an American in the way he or she talks.

　　Many old words 6 in England but were kept in America.For example，300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they called either a “faucet”，a “spigot”，or a “tap”.All these words are 7 heard in different parts of America，but only “tap” is still common in 8 .Americans often made up new words or changed old 9 .“Corn” is one kind of plant in America and 10 in England.

　　Also，over the last three centuries the English language 11 thousands of new words for things that weren't known 12 .And often，American and English people used two 13 names for them.A tin can is called “tin” for short in England，but a “can” in America.The word “radio” is 14 all over the world，including America.But many English people call it a “wireless”.And almost anything having something to do 15 cars，railroads，etc. 16 different names in British and American English.

　　But now American and British English may be growing close together.One 17 is the large amount of American speeches that British people hear daily in movies，on television，or 18 travelers. 19 this，Americans seem to be influencing the British more or less.So some day，English may even be 20 on both sides of the Atlantic.

As you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England. That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.
If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands--one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.
Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?
In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.
There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?
【小題1】English was first spoken in ____.

【小題2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．Wales is the richest of the three.

D．Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles.
【小題3】The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is _____.
A．part of Britain

C．the official name of the whole country
