Ⅲ. 阅读理解

For the last five years, I have been fortunate enough to work on a large vocabulary research project for Cambridge English, the English Vocabulary Profile. You can view the results for free online at www. Englishprofile. org. Working with Carol Cassidy, we developed a database, containing the words and phrases that learners of English around the world typically know and use. We analyzed a 50-million-word collection of learners' writing from Cambridge English exams, and we also looked at the vocabulary taught in best-selling British and American English course books.

We have found that there are some words that are still characteristically British or American. British people have biscuits with their cup of tea or coffee, but Americans have cookies. We have cookies too in Britain, but they are a certain type of biscuit, such as chocolate chip cookies, where original recipe (食谱) is American. A British person goes on holiday, while an American takes a vacation; you visit a city center in Britain but go downtown in the US.
