阅读短文，根据短文内容完成文后的句子
Asking for information or help is a very common and necessary activity, especially when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English, "Where are the restrooms?" and "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" are similar requests—both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. It's important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough—we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.
In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, "Where is my book?" this will sound rude. But if you say, "Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?" your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright to say "Where is my book?" in some situations, perhaps with people you know well.
And you would not usually say, "Peter, lend me your pen. " A very direct order like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra language, such as "Could you please...?" or "Can I ask...?" It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please lend me your pen?" Sometimes we might even need to spend some time leading in to a question or request. For example, if you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, "Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me. " or "I'm sorry to trouble you but," before asking them for help.
It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true. However, in order not to offend people, learning about the language etiquette is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.
1. It's important to know how to_ _in English when we visit a foreign country.
2. When you talk with different people, you need to__ _.
3. Extra words are used to help__ ___.
4._ _is as important as learning language structure.

American and British people both speak English, of course, but sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say all the letters in each word especially the sounds like “t”and “d”. However, the British usually pronounce their consonants （辅音）more carefully.
Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, Americans say the “a”in “half”like the “a”in “cat”, but the British say the “a”in “half”like the “o”in “soft”. The “r”is sometimes said differently, too. When an American says “farmer”, you can usually hear the “r”. But you can’t hear the “r”in British English. The British say “fahmah”.
Sound is not the only difference. The two languages have different words for some things, for example, the words for clothing are different. Americans use the word“sweater”, but the British say“jumper”.
Many expressions（短语）are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone friends, you “ring them up”. In America, you “give them a call”.
There are also some differences in grammar.
These differences can be confusing （令人疑惑）if you are learning English. But there is a reason for the difference. Languages change over time. When the same language is used in different places, it changes differently in each place. This is what happened to English. It also happened to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French, but their French is different from the French spoken in France.
（ ）1. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The differences between British and American English.
B. The two different languages, British and American English.
C. The changes of the English language.
D. Why American English is different from British English.
（ ）2. Which of the following is Not true?
A. In American English, the “a”in the word“can’t”sounds the same as the “a”in the word “can”.
B. The American English is different from British English only in grammar.
C. Learners of British English may have some difficulty in understanding American English.
D. French is not only spoken in France but in some other countries as well.
