①Some people say that the UK and the US are two countries that are separated by a common language. It means although both Americans and the British speak English, there are many differences in the way they use the language. Having studied in both countries, I have found the differences are more than differences such as pronunciations and spellings. A big difference is communication styles (风格).
②I spent one term in the UK, and the biggest challenge for me was that people don’t always say things directly. The British are famous for being polite. So polite, in fact, that they sometimes say the contrary of what they really mean. For example, when the British say “I almost agree”, don’t think they have similar opinions to you. Actually, they mean “I don’t agree at all”. Before I could fully understand how the British communicate, I went home.
③Later, I went to study in the US for one year. I found that Americans like to be straight with others. When I spoke to them, I often had trouble getting straight to the point. For example, when I wanted to ask for help, I liked to say, “Excuse me, I’m terribly sorry to bother you, but I seem to be lost. Would you be so kind to lend me a hand in finding my way to the nearest station ” But Americans would find it strange. They would just say, “Hey, sorry to bother you. I’m really lost and need to find the nearest station. Can you help me ” I realized I had to learn a whole new way of communicating.
④Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn. As my experiences show, learning the pronunciation and spelling of words in a language is just the beginning!

31.Floods happen when too much water covers the land. They can come from heavy rains or big waves from the sea. Floods can be very dangerous. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives because of floods.
Floods are becoming more common, and one major reason is the rising temperature of the Earth. Warmer air can hold more water, leading to heavier rain and stronger storms. Also, dry ground cannot take in water well, so water runs quickly into low land and causes floods. Another important reason is rising sea levels, which make coastal floods worse. Large waves push more water onto the land. Scientists say that by the year 2100, serious floods that once happened only once every 100 years may take place every year. Many cities could then face serious danger.
So, what can we do to deal with floods There are some clear ways. First, we can depend on warning systems. These systems can tell people when floods are coming, so everyone has enough time to get to safe places before the disaster hits. Second, we can build sea walls to stop floodwater from spreading onto the land. Third, cities can be turned into “sponge (海绵) cities” by building special streets and green spaces — these features (特征) help take in rainwater, slow it down and reduce the risk of flooding. Finally, in some specific areas, we can carry out a plan called “managed retreat” that scientists say is the safest way. This means moving people away from these areas that flood again and again.
Floods are a big challenge. But if we work together and plan well, we can stay safe and protect our homes. By understanding the causes and taking action, we can make a real difference.
(1) Floods mainly come from . (不超过8词)
(2) Why are floods becoming more common List two reasons. (列举两项，不超过15词)
