三、阅读理解（40’）第一节

A

When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to (习惯于) speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand French. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problem.

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding﹙误解﹚ began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked 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? But aren't you a bit young?"

"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 is a phone box?"

"Oh," he said, "There is a phone downstairs."

When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.

"Don't worry," she said to me. "I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which American use differently in meaning from British. You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other!"

A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads.

Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign, they must not go at more than thirty kilometres an hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town.

Number two is a sign that we're near a crossing. We must drive carefully.

Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully. It is not safe to go round a bend very fast.

Number four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right. There is a junction(汇合处) at this place.

Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully.

Number seven has the word "SCHOOL" on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly.

Number eight is a sign with the letter "P" on it. The letter "P" means "Parking". At some places, there are the signs "No parking" or "No waiting". If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car.
