Everyday, 340 million people speak it. One billion people are learning it and it is said that by 2050, half of the world's population will be using it. What are we talking about？That global language—English.
All in all, the English language is full of twists and turns and it is changing all the time. Make sure you keep up with it! Recently, British people have become interested in “yoga”. But the word comes from an ancient Hindu language in India.
When Harry Potter was “born”， he was a boy wizard(巫师) speaking British English. When his “mother” J. K. Rowling wanted to “sell” him in the US market, she made some changes in the American edition：some unfamiliar British English words(gormless became clueless); English spellings(colour to color); English usage(whilst to while)．
However, some of the “Queen's English” is still used in the US editions. “American readers should have the exactly same experience reading the book as British readers，” said US editor Arthur Levine. Yet, the more popular and familiar Harry Potter became to American fans, the more British terms appeared in the later American editions.
1．From the text, we learn that “yoga” comes from ______.

3．Which of the following is British English?

答案：A　根据第三段最后一句中“English usage(whilst to while)”可知，whilst一词为英式英语。
4．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．British people became more familiar with American English.
B．American English became more popular with British people.
C．American fans became more familiar with British terms.
