We thin that they soundlow-class, but secretly we thin they sound cool. These are just old beliefs about British and American English, but there is some truth in them.What is certainly true is that the differences between British and American English continue to interest us.When the US was only about 20 years old, people were already saying that British accents sounded more intelligent，according to Erin Moore’s boo That’s Not English Britishisms, Americanisms, and What Our English Says About Us.However, there are many different accents in Britain-Moore says the U may have just as many regional accents as the US, even though the population is almost one-fifth the sie. In the U, accents have a lot to do with class, but to many Americans, even an accent that British people thin is “low class”is thought of as intelligent and better, according to MPR News.American slang(俚语) has been part of British people’s vocabulary for a long time-the number of American television, movies and music enjoyed in the U means that British people have been using words lie “cool”and “awesome”for years now. But sometimes words from the U mae it to the US-lie “gobsmaced”.“Gobsmaced”started as slang from northern England. “Gob”means mouth, so the word means “surprised as if someone smaced you in the mouth”. Reality television brought it to the US, Moore said. When the singer Susan Boyle became famous for her unliely great singing voice on the show Britain’s Got Talent, she used it all the time. “I’m gobsmaced,”she repeated, and it got popular.“Americans love a colorful piece of slang as much as anyone else,”said Moore. And this is just one eample of how Britons and Americans can leave each other “gobsmaced”with their different types of English!12. What do American people thin of British English？A. Cool.B. Low-class.C. Intelligent.D. Interesting.13. What can we now from the passage?A. There are more accents in Britain than in the US.B. The U is a large country with a small population.C.
