第四部分、阅读理解 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)

A

That year I was sixteen years old, and I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time that I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to the people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.

How wrong I was! The misunderstandings (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Jenny a call andtell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man asked me if he could help me.

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

“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married?”

“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”

“Oh!” he said, “there’s a phone downstairs.”

When at last we met, Jenny explained the misunderstandings to me.

“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 get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other!”
