As we all know，American and British people both speak English．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact，there are some important differences between British English and American English．

First of all，they sound very different．Often，Americans don't say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know．” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However，the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．

Words sometimes have different meanings too．Some American words are never used in England．The same thing is true of some British words in America．For example，the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different．Americans drive trucks，but in England people drive lorries．

Many expressions are also different in the two countries．In England，if you are going to telephone your friends，you “phone them up”．In America，you “give them a call”．

There're also some differences in grammar．For example，Americans usually use the helping verb（助动词）“do” when they ask a question．They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb．They say “Have you a storybook?”

All these differences can be confusing（易混淆的）if you are learning English．But most languages are like this，Languages change over time．When people live in separate places，the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．

Astronauts have already visited the Moon and lived on space stations．They've never been to another planet，but they might visit Mars soon．Astronauts will spend about six months getting to the planet，then about two years on the planet and about six months travelling back to the Earth．They’ll be away from the Earth for about three years，so they'll need much food．

It's very expensive to take food into space．It costs about 120 000 dollars to carry something that weighs（重）one kilo（千克）．So an apple on Mars could cost 20000 dollars! Of course，they will need to take much food with them to feed the astronauts for three years．This amount of fresh food can't stay fresh，and is very expensive to take，so they need to find food that is not very heavy．

At the moment，astronauts in space stations eat dried food．It's very light，so it doesn't cost much money to carry it into space．But astronauts stay healthier and happier if they eat fresh food，In the future，astronauts on Mars may grow vegetables like carrots and lettuce（生菜）．

Astronauts on Mars will probably have special machines．They'll use these machines to change beans（豆）into food that tastes like meat or cheese．They probably won't eat real meat or cheese because it won't he possible to keep animals in space．

1．Which planet do the astronauts plan to go to next?

A．Mars．                B．Space．               C．The Moon．
