Ⅳ.阅读理解

When I was growing up in America,I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English.Because of her English,she was often treated unfairly.People in department stores,at banks,and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well.When I was fifteen,she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was her.I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her.One time I had to call her stockbroker(股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing,“This is Mrs Tan.”

And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly,“Why he don’t send me check,already two week late.”

And then,in perfect English I said,“I’m getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago,but it hasn’t arrived.”

Then she talked more loudly.“What he want?I come to New York tell him front of his boss.”And so I turned to the stockbroker again,“I can’t tolerate any more excuse.If I don’t receive the check immediately,I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York.While I was sitting there red-faced,my mother,the real Mrs Tan,was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager,my mother’s broken English embarrassed me.But now,I see it differently.To me,my mother’s English is perfectly clear,perfectly natural.It is my mother tongue.Her language,as I hear it,is vivid,direct,and full of observation and wisdom.It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things,expressed ideas,and made sense of the world.

4.What does the author think of her mother’s English now? A.It confuses her. B.It embarrasses her.

Firstly,the differences 2. British and American English are not as big as

many learners believe.There are almost no differences in grammar and only a few differences in

vocabulary.British and American people understand each other without 3. (difficult)almost all of the time;we watch films and television from each other’s countries for 4. (please).

5. ,there is not one British or American English.For example,all major cities in the UK have 6. own dialects with different accents and sometimes small differences in grammar and vocabulary from each other.Sometimes these accents can be 7.(difficult)to understand for even a British person than some American Englishes.Also,there are Englishes from many other countries.People who speak these Englishes usually also manage 8. (communicate)with other English speakers without any problems.

All learners need to be able to understand English spoken and 9. (write)by as many people as possible and they need to be able to speak English that many people can understand.You should concentrate on this goal,not on 10. to speak “British” or “American” English.
