    　　Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at school．When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure I could have a nice easy holiday without any language problem．But how wrong I was!

    　　At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny I had arrived．A worker asked if he could help me．“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring．” “Well, that’s nice．Are you getting married?” he asked．“No,” I replied．“I just want to tell her on the phone I have arrived．” “Oh,” he said, “ there is a phone downstairs on/he first floor．” “But we’re on the first floor now,” I said．“Well, I don’t know what you are talking about．Maybe you aren’t feeling well after your journey．” he said．“You just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better．” And he went off, leaving me wondering where on earth I was, at home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean．How can I wash up at an airport?

    　　At last we did meet．She explained the misunderstanding．Americans say “ to give someone a call,” but we English say “to give somebody a ring”．When we say “to wash your hands”, they say “to wash up”．And Englishmen start numbering from the ground floor, so the first floor is the second for Americans．

    Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)
    When I was sixteen, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand French. I believed that I wouldn’t have any       problems when I went to America. So I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday there.
    How          I was! The misunderstanding (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to call my friend Danny who had been in America for two years and told her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking confused and asked if he could          me.
    “Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”
    “Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married ? But aren’t you a bit too       ?”
    “Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me          the phone box is?”
    “Oh! I see. ” he said, “there’s a phone downstairs.”
    When Danny and I met up, she explained the misunderstanding to me.
    “Don’t worry,” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say         . Most of the time British and American people understand each other!
