根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

    One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

    In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, while Americans would call it the second floor.

    The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.

    The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They're more active and easier to talk with.

    The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually use "football", "eraser" and "mail" while Americans prefer to use "soccer", "rubber" and "post".

姚广孝,长洲人,本医家子。年十四,度为僧,名道衍,字斯道。事道士席应真,得其阴阳术数之学。尝游嵩山寺,相者袁珙见之曰:“是何异僧!目三角,形如病虎,性必嗜杀,刘秉忠流也。”道衍大喜。

洪武中,诏通儒书僧试礼部。不受官,赐僧服还。高皇后崩,太祖选高僧侍诸王,为诵经荐福。其侪宗泐时为左善世,举道衍。燕王与语甚合,请以从。至北平,住持庆寿寺。出入府中,迹甚密,时时屏人语。及太祖崩,惠帝立,以次削夺诸王。道衍遂密劝成祖举兵。成祖曰:“民心向彼,奈何?”道衍曰:“臣知天道,何论民心。”乃进袁珙及卜者金忠。于是成祖意益决。

建文元年六月,燕府护卫百户倪谅上变。诏逮府中官属。都指挥张信输诚于成祖,成祖遂决策起兵。适大风雨至,檐瓦堕地,成祖色变。道衍曰:“祥也。飞龙在天,从以风雨。瓦堕,将易黄也。”兵起,以诛齐泰、黄子澄为名,号其众曰“靖难之师。”道衍辅世子居守。

成祖即帝位,授道衍僧录司左善世。帝在藩邸,所接皆武人,独道衍定策起兵。及帝转战山东、河北,在军三年,或旋或否,战守机事皆决于道衍。道衍未尝临战阵,然帝用兵有天下,道衍力为多,论功以为第一。永乐二年四月,拜资善大夫、太子少师。复其姓,赐名广孝,赠祖父如其官。帝与语,呼少师而不名。命蓄发,不肯。赐第及两宫人,皆不受。常居僧寺,冠带而朝,退仍缁衣。出振苏、湖。至长洲,以所赐金帛散宗族乡人。重修《太祖实录》,广孝为监修。又与解缙等纂修《永乐大典》。书成,帝褒美之。帝往来两都、出塞北征,广孝皆留辅太子于南京。五年四月,皇长孙出阁就学,广孝侍说书。

十六年三月,入观,年八十有四矣,病甚,不能朝,仍居庆寿寺。车驾临视者再语甚欢赐以金睡壶问所欲言广孝曰僧溥洽系久愿赦之。溥洽者,建文帝主录僧也。初,帝入南京,有言建文帝为僧遁去,溥洽知状,或言匿溥洽所。帝乃以他事禁溥洽。而命给事中胡濙等遍物色建文帝,久之不可得。溥洽坐系十余年。至是,帝以广孝言,即命出之。广孝顿首谢。寻卒。帝震悼,辍视朝二日,命有司治丧,以僧礼葬。追赠推诚辅国协谋宣力文臣、特进荣禄大夫、上柱国、荣国公,谥恭靖。赐葬房山县东北。帝亲制神道碑志其功。官其养子继尚宝少卿。
