“faucet”, a “spigot”, or a “tap”. All these words are 42 heard in different parts of America, but only “tap” is still common in 43 . Americans often made up new words or changed old 44 . “Corn” is one kind of plant in America and 45 in England.
Also, over the last three centuries the English language 46 thousands of new words for things that weren’t known 47 . And often, American and English people used two 48 names for them. A tin can (洋铁罐头) is called “tin” for short in England, but a “can” in America. The word “radio” is 49 all over the world, including America. But many English people call it a “wireless”.

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly．Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be 36 for your health．And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it 37 ．
Research is preliminary, but several studies 38 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die．
In an editorial 39 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define 40 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting．
While health officials have issued guidelines 41 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated 42 ．
"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send 43 signals," Ekblom-Bak said．She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the 44 start to shut down．
Even for people who 45 , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful．Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day — 46 still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, 47 in a single bout．
That wasn't 48 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting 49 a computer．Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 50 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing．
"I'm sure there are some detrimental 51 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being 52 when I can helps," he said．"I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be 53 dangerous．"
Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat 54 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised．
Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars．
Experts said more research is needed to 55 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects．

The rule in the great outdoors is simple: Don’t 31 or go near an animal. 32 some of these animals may look cool or even cute, leave them 33 . These animals aren’t like regular pets. They’re not 34 to being around people and may bite or attack if you come near them. They also might have r
abies(狂犬病).

When my mother asked me 30 I was going to take a May Day basket to Pam’s house, I responded 31 , “Absolutely not! I hate Pam.” I began to cry.
Mom wiped away my 32 and told me that things and people change．She explained that one of the greatest things friends can do is to give each other a 33 to grow, to change and to develop, and that it’s 34 for one’s friends to spend time with other people.
I 35 decided to give Pam a basket as a sign of forgiveness, and asked my sister to help me do it．As we watched from our 36 place, Pam picked up the basket and said loudly enough for us to hear, “Thank you, Susie, I hoped you wouldn’t 37 me!”
