There are a few differences in grammar（语法）.For example，speakers of British English say ＂in hospital＂ and “Have you a pen ?”Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?” Pronunciation （发音）is sometimes different.

C There was nothing for Mary to do in the house, so every day she walked in the gardens. She did this before breakfast, and the fresh air made her hungry. She was so hungry that she even ate the porridge（粥）and enjoyed it. After breakfast, Mary walked in the gardens and on the moor. She spent most of her time outdoors and began to feel healthier and happier than she had felt for a very long time. One day, she walked around the wall without a door. Suddenly, she heard a bird singing. She looked up，and the robin was sitting on a branch（树枝）that hung over the wall. She was pleased to see the bird and talked to it. “You live in that garden, don't you?” she said. “ But no one can go in because there isn't a door. I want to know what's behind this wall." The next morning, when Martha brought her breakfast, she asked, “ Martha, why isn't there a door in the wall of one of the gardens?” “No one is allowed in there.” Martha answered. “Even Mr. Craven never goes in there.” “But why not? What's wrong with the place?” “I don't know for certain,” Martha answered, but the story is that when Mr. Craven married, he and his young wife were very happy. They used to spend a lot of their time together in that garden reading and talking. Then one day, a branch of a tree fell down and hit Mr. Craven's wife on the head.

"If it wasn't the wind," Martha answered,“then it was Betty in the kitchen. She has a toothache." Mary looked at Martha and thought, “She is not telling me the truth.

D If you tap（轻敲）your fingers on the screen（屏幕），your favorite books will be delivered （递送）to your door within a couple of hours. Who would have thought that cultural consumption （文化消费）in China could become as easy as ordering a sandwich？Yet，it is now happening at the Chengdu Library. The“Loving to Read at Home” program（程序）allows readers to log on（登录）to a mini program of the same name. Readers can then choose their favorite books and wait for them to be delivered to their home by EMS for just 6 yuan for one to three books. Each user can borrow up to eight books at a time for 30 days. The program covers the whole city. More than 20,000 books from 22 public libraries in Chengdu are ready for loan. So far, more than 300 books have been sent out to readers. “The library’s new O2O（online to offline）path reduces（减少）the time cost for readers and allows them to realize that cultural consumption in China is a convenient part of people's everyday lives,” expert Xu Shuming said.” Providing such service for readers is an important part of reaching China’s goal of encouraging（鼓励）reading nationwide.” The expert also added，“020 book delivery services are successful in China since the country has strong delivery service and e-commerce（电子商务）industries.” The Chengdu Library is not the only library providing books-to-go services. “Flying book home" is a similar program run by the Zhuzhou Library in Hunan Province. In Beijing, a similar service is also provided by the Chaoyang District Library. To date, there have been more than 3,300 public libraries and more than 100,000 physical book shops across the country. Chinese people's interest in reading has been growing. The comprehensive reading rate（综合阅读率）in 2012 was 76.3％, but grew to 81.8％ in 2022．“Reading has become an important part of promoting（促进）public education and increasing people’s confidence in Chinese culture and tradition." said Xu. 54.Why does the writer mention ordering a sandwich in Paragraph 1?
