IV. READING COMPREHENSION

A. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Although the United States is a large country with many people, the language is almost the

same wherever one goes. There are two reasons for this. One is that people move around a great

deal in the United States. A man may grow up in one part of the country, go to college in another

part, find work in another place, and marry a girl from still another part of the country. Railroads,

airplanes, cars and highways make it easy to travel in America. Many large companies have

6

branches in different areas of the country and transfer their workers from one branch to another.

The second important factor is public communication. Movies, radio, and television all have a

standard way of speech, and almost everyone in the United States hears it. There are, however,

some words and expressions more common in one part of the country than in others. Throughout

the history of the United States, large groups of immigrants have come to make their homes and

they give new words to the language.
