(A)
A teacher stood in the classroom with some things on the table in front of him. When the class began, without saying anything, he picked up a large and empty jar(罐子) and filled it with rocks.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
Then he picked up a box of pebbles(鹅卵石) and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
"Is the jar full now " he asked. They agreed it was.
He poured a box of sand into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the open areas of the jar.
"What about now "
The students said, "It's full. "
"Now," said the teacher, "I want you to know that this jar is like your life, The rocks are the important things—your family, your partner, your health, your children—if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter—like your job, and your house, and your car. The sand is everything else, the small things."
"If you put the sand into the jar at first, there will be no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small things, you will never have room for important things. Pay attention to the things that are important to your happiness. Play with your children.

American and British people both speak English. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don't say each word separately(分开地). They say several words together. Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know". Or they may say "Whaddya say " instead of "What did you say " However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you "phone them up". In America, you "give them a call".
There're also some differences in grammar. For example, when Americans ask a question, they say "Do you have a storybook " But the British often say "Have you got a storybook "
All these differences can be confusing(易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.

A. are always changing as time passes
