    A woman was at the cinema, and she liked the film very much. But there was a man in the next seat, and he began looking on the floor under him. The woman was angry, but she can't speak loudly then.

    So she whispered, "What are you doing there?" "What are you looking for?"

    "A piece of hard chocolate," the man whispered to her, "I dropped (掉落) it on the floor."

    "A piece of chocolate?" the woman said angrily, "It's dirty now! Take this and be quiet, please! I'm listening to the film!" She gave the man a big piece of chocolate.

    One day, an American man Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat(公寓) was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But a man told him that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

    In fact, the British (英国人) call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, but Americans would call it 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 and Americans may use different terms for the same things. The British usually use "football" "holiday" and "lift", but Americans like to use "soccer" "vacation" and "elevator".
