One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told

him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor

of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the

ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor. The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and America,

though the British and Americans both speak English.

The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers.

For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They're more active and easier to

talk with.

The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually use football, rubber and post while Americans prefer to use soccer, eraser and mail.

Nobody is sure where and when the expression "apple-pie order" began. Some say that Scottish and English writers used the expression a long time ago. Others say it was first used in the northeastern American states known as New England. The housewives of New England cut their apples in even slices. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organized way, row （排）upon row. As one writer said, the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it generally is believed that the expression "apple-pie order" began in New England.

Another old expression, "apple of discord", comes from ancient mythology （神话），

however. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around the table to

celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses-Discord-was a troublemaker.She threw away a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess.
