PAGE 7 - Unit 3 A taste of English humour Period 2 Reading 课后阅读作业 Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A 　　We all know that Britain and the US are two countries connected by a common language.

In the US, however, most passengers think nothing of telling the driver what route to take after telling him or her the destination. 【语篇概述】英国人和美国人虽然说着相同的语言, 却有着许多完全不同的处事态度与生活习惯。在很多生活细节上, 你一眼就能区分出他们。 1.
