三、閱讀理解

• 7．Language is born of culture and in turn reflects the history of a culture.This is clear when we compare English in Britain，the United States and Australia.
     Of the three dialects，British English has the most confusing grammar and spelling rules.This is probably because the development of English has been under the control of the upper class.The modern English language came into being in the 18th century.The upper class who spoke French wanted to show their influence and make themselves different from the uneducated working people.In other words，British English reflects the English character with class.
     The US dialect is generally recognized as the easiest to understand.Compared with British English，its spelling is more connected with its pronunciation.And its grammatical rules are much easier to follow.What's more，its words are simpler to pronounce.For foreigner，it's much easier to learn.That's why American English is more popular in the world.
     The reason why American English is simpler than British English is connected with its special history.British English was mainly influenced by the upper class.But American upper class didn't exist when American English was born.American English was based on the dialects spoken by working people from different countries.So the formation of American English was based on a rule to help all the working people with different cultural backgrounds communicate more easily.
     Australian English is different from British and American English.It is the most vulgar（粗俗的）of the three.Actually it has a tendency to show its invention，disrespect and humor.At times，this can make it almost impossible to understand and quite impolite to some educated speakers.That is partly connected with special identity of the early settlers.
  
  （1）Why is British English more confusing than American English？

  
  A．Because it was influenced by the upper class.

  .
  A．it has fewer words
  B．the US has a shorter history
