One day Bob took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing. In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometers from their camp, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face. He could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was the white snow. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?

Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took the road to his house?

People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16^th and 17^th centuries. And in the　 36　 300 years,there were so many　 37　 　in both places that now people can easily　 38　 an English person from an American in the　 39　 he or she talks.

Many old words　 40　 　in England but were kept in America. For example,300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they　 41　 either a “faucet”, “spigot”, or a “tap”. All these words are still heard in different parts of America, but only “tap” is still common in England.

A tin can is called “tin” for short in English, but a “can” in America. The word “radio” is　 46　 all over the world, including America. But many English people call it a “wireless”. And almost anything　 47　 something to do with cars, railroads, etc. has different　 48　 in British and American English.

But now American and British English may be 　49　 closer together. One thing is that British people can hear a large amount of American speech daily in movies, on television, or from travelers. Because of this, Americans 　50 　to be influencing (影响) the British more and more. So some day, English may even be the same on both sides of the Atlantic.
