Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)

When I was sixteen I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children I learned French at school. And I had often been to France so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand French. I believed that I wouldn’t have any      problems when I went to America. So I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday there.

   How         I was! The misunderstanding (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to call my friend Danny who had been in America for two years and told her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking confused and asked if he could         me.

  “Yes ” I said “I want to give my friend a ring.”

  “Well that’s nice ” he said. “Are you getting married ? But aren’t you a bit too        ?”

  “Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me         the phone box is?”

  “Oh! I see. ” he said “there’s a phone downstairs.”

   When Danny and I met up she explained the misunderstanding to me.

  “Don’t worry ” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say         . Most of the time British and American people understand each other!
