19、ear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a wazzock? This word, in fact, means a foolish person, although theres nothing about it that would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without
20、these peculiar (古怪的) usages filling its pages.How can these odd words be explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons dont like to take things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to “spend a penny” means to use the bathroom.
21、 It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet.In an interview for the BBCs website, British linguist David Crystal suggested there may be historical reasons for the sheer number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thinks that they began in the late 16th and
22、 early 17th centuries. This was a great age for the theater, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays. The theaters popularity also created an incentive (刺激) to invent new words.With this in mind, perhaps Shakespeare and his peers are to blame for unusu
23、al British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash” which both, ironically, mean “nonsense”. While these strange words may be confusing to non-native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting.25.

27、itish English.B. Shakespeares influence on British English.C. The origin and meanings of British humour.D. Some reasons for the large number of odd words in British English. C A new tool of communication called the “drift diary” is doing the rounds among young college graduates. The “drift diary”, l
28、ike those ancient paper messages put into a bottle left to drift on the high seas to reach hundreds of miles away, connects lonely hearts. The “drift diary” was first started by a Beijing woman, who goes by the Net name Little S, in 2007. It has become the preferred tool of communication among young
29、sters afraid to reveal their innermost self to peers, but wanting to share their lives with others. The way it works is that the initiator（发起人）of the diary mentions it on popular Internet forums such as Tianya and Douban. Those wanting to react or otherwise add to the diary then send their real name
30、s and addresses to the initiator via e-mails or text messages. The numbers in one group are usually restricted to between 30 and 50. The diary then passes on to another by express delivery or personal handover. The diary writers are mostly anonymous but if they wish to reveal their identity they can
31、 do so by posting their contact information at the end of their postings. The diary writers add not just words but also decorate the plain notebooks with cartoons, drawings or even dress it up with a ribbon or a new cover. Interesting experiences, travel journals, the simple joys of everyday living
32、or sweet recollections of childhood, all find a place in these diaries. Most often, though, the writers set down their frustrations and predicaments. It usually takes one year for a diary to return to the initiator. The last recorder is the luckiest one, with access to all previous entries, while ot
33、hers can request photocopies of these from the diarys initiator.29. The popularity of “drift diary” among youngsters is because _.

37、a and parts of China, restaurants serve dog meat. And in Australia, its common to cook kangaroo meat on the barbecue and use emu（鸸鹋）eggs to make pancakes. The kangaroo and emu are native to Australia. Both animals are important to the national image of Australia and appear on the Australian coat of
38、arms. Theyre also central figures in the history of the indigenous（土生土长的）Australian Aboriginals（土著人）. However, Aboriginal tribes still hunt these animals for their meat, fur and fat. Today, Australian people continue to eat these animals. One of the reasons people eat kangaroo meat is that its high
39、in protein and low in fat, so eating kangaroo is a good option for anyone on a diet. Its also cheaper to eat kangaroo meat than other red meats.

41、u eggs. One egg is large enough to make seven omelettes（煎蛋）. And while its illegal to collect emu eggs from the wild, they can be bought from emu farms.

Hand gestures are a way of communicating with others and conveying your feeli
46、ngs. These gestures are most helpful when one is speaking to someone with no language in common. The meanings of hand gestures in different cultures may translate into different things. 37 Former President George W. Bush had to face a major faux pas（失礼） during a visit to Australia.
