Freign visitrs t the UK might be disappinted when they learn that nt everyne there speaks like Harry Ptter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumptin by many nn-Brits that everyne in Britain speaks with what’s knwn as a Received Prnunciatin (RP，标准发音) accent, als called “the Queen’s English”. Hwever, while many peple d talk this way, mst Britns speak in their wn reginal accents (口音).
Scuse, Glaswegian and Black Cuntry — frm Liverpl, Glasgw and the West Midlands — are just three f the cuntless nn-RP accents that British peple speak with. There are even differences in accents between twns r cities just 30 kilmeters apart. What is even mre disappinting is that nt speaking in a RP accent may mean a British persn is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.
In a 2015 study by The University f Suth Wales, vides f peple reading a passage in three different UK accents were shwn t a secnd grup f peple. The grup then rated hw intelligent they thught the readers sunded. The lwestrated accent was Brummie, native t peple frm Birmingham, a city whse accent is cnsidered wrking class.
Hwever, there is n need t be disappinted thugh yu are nt speaking in a RP accent. In fact, ding the ppsite may even give yu strength.
Kng Sengjae, 25, is an Internet celebrity frm Seul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several reginal accents. He’s nw famus fr his nline vides, where he shws ff the varius accents he’s learned. “British peple usually get really excited when I use sme f their lcal dialect wrds, and they becme much friendlier. I think it makes a bit f bnd between lcal peple and freigners t speak in their lcal accent,” he said.
S if yu’re wrking n perfecting yur British accent, try t speak like smene frm Liverpl, Glasgw r Birmingham. Yu may nt sund like Harry Ptter, but yu are likely t make mre friends.

In 1945, tw sculptures meant t represent the average man called Nrman and wman called Nrma in the United States went n exhibit at the American Museum f Natural Histry.
That same year, a cntest was launched t find a living representatin f Nrma. Nrmal is ften used t mean “typical”, “expected”, r even “crrect”. By that lgic, mst peple shuld fit the descriptin f nrmal. And yet, nt ne f almst 4,000 wmen wh participated in the cntest matched Nrma, the suppsedly “nrmal” wman.
This puzzle isn’t unique t Nrma and Nrman, either — time and time again, s-called nrmal descriptins f ur bdies, minds, and perceptins have turned ut t match almst n ne. S what des nrmal actually mean — and shuld we be relying n it s much?
In statistics, a nrmal distributin describes a set f values that fall alng a bell curve (曲线). The average, r mean, f all the values is at the very center, and mst ther values fall within the hump (驼峰) f the bell. Nrmal desn’t describe a single data pint, but a pattern f diversity. Many human traits, like height, fllw a nrmal distributin. Sme peple are very tall r very shrt, but mst peple fall clse t the verall average. Outside f statistics, nrmal ften refers t an average like the single number pulled frm the fattest part f the bell curve that excludes all the nuances f the nrmal distributin. Nrma and Nrman’s prprtins (比例) came frm such averages.
Applied t individuals, whether smene is cnsidered nrmal usually depends n hw clsely they get t this average. At best, such definitins f nrmal fail t capture variatin. When limited r inaccurate definitins f nrmal are used t make decisins that impact peple’s lives, they can d real harm. There were examples in histry.
T this day, peple are ften targeted and discriminated against n the basis f disabilities, mental health issues, and ther features cnsidered “nt nrmal”. But the reality is that the differences in ur bdies, minds, perceptins, and ideas abut the wrld arund us — in shrt, diversity — is the true nrmal.
8．What can we learn abut Nrman and Nrma?
A．N participant fitted the descriptin f them in the cntest.
B．They were n display as sn as they were cmpleted in 1945.
C．They were bth named by the American Museum f Natural Histry.
D．Peple viewed them as typical and crrect representatins f humans.
9．Hw des nrmal in statistics differ frm nrmal utside f statistics?
A．The frmer and the latter fall at ttally different pints f the bell curve.
B．The frmer and the latter accunt fr different puzzles in ur daily life.
C．The latter is a single number whereas the frmer shws a pattern f diversity.
D．The latter ften indicates the distributin f a set f values but the frmer desn’t.
10．What des the underlined wrd “nuances” in Paragraph 4 mst prbably mean?
A．Pssibilities.B．Examples.C．Meanings.D．Differences.
11．What is the best title f the passage?
A．What Is Real Nrmal?
B．When Are Humans Nrmal?
C．Hw Des Nrmal Cause Harm?
D．Why Shuldn’t We Rely n Nrmal?
D
The Mna Lisa is the famus Lenard da Vinci painting f a wman with a mysterius smile. This week, the painting gave up a secret.
Scientists using X-rays t examine the chemical structure f a small part f the painting discvered a technique Lenard used in the wrk. An il paint used fr it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental md when he wrked n the painting in the 16th century.
“He lved t experiment, and each f his paintings is cmpletely different technically,”said Victr Gnzalez, a chemist wh has studied the chemical element (成分) f several wrks by Lenard and ther artists. The researchers fund a rare lead cmpund (铅化合物) — plumbnacrite, in Lenard’s first layer f paint. The discvery prved that da Vinci mst likely used lead xide t thicken and help dry his paint. The paint in the study is abut the thickness f a human hair, lying in the tp right area f the painting.
The scientists lked int its atmic structure using X-rays, mving particles at the speed f light, permitting researchers t lk deeper int the paint structure. “ Plumbnacrite is really a fingerprint f his recipe, as it’s the first time we can chemically cnfirm it,” Gnzalez said.
Dutch artist Rembrandt may have used a similar mixture when he was painting in the 17th century. Gnzalez and ther researchers have fund plumbnacrite in his wrk, t. Lenard is thught t have put lead xide pwder, which has an range clr, in the il t make it thicker and dry faster. “What yu will get is an il that has a very nice glden clr,” Gnzalez said. “It flws mre like hney.”
But the Mna Lisa — said by the Luvre t be a prtrait (肖像) f Lisa Gherardini, the wife f a Flrentine silk businessman — and additinal wrks by Lenard still have ther secrets t tell. “What we are saying is just a little brick in the knwledge,” Gnzalez said.
12．What’s the new discvery abut the Mna Lisa?
A．A new explanatin f the secret smile.
B．A new chemical element used in the painting.
C．The secret f the wman in the painting.
D．The structure f the paint da Vinci used.
13．Which best explains the underlined wrd “fingerprint” in paragraph 4?
A．Open secret.B．Widespread use.C．Hidden element.D．Lng-term dream.
14．Hw des Gnzalez view the use f lead xide pwder in paintings?
A．It helps t make many things int paints.
B．It helps t make paints easy t deal with.
C．It helps t keep the paintings last lng.
D．It helps t make paintings rich in clr.
15．What can we learn abut the Mna Lisa frm the last paragraph?
A．It has mre secrets t tell the wrld.
B．It’s the prtrait f a silk businessman.
C．It’s well kept in bricks in the Luvre.
D．It has a mixture f different art styles.
