单元话题语篇练

In America, there's only one way to pronounce 1. the letter Z: zee, of course.

However, head to England, Ireland, or any other English­speaking country, 2. and

you'll find that most natives refer to the same letter as zed.

To understand this difference 3. in pronunciation, you have to look at the origins

of the English alphabet. As you can imagine, the British zed is the 4. older (old) of the

two pronunciations, and it 5. dates (date) all the way back to the 1400s. The

pronunciation comes from Latin and Greek, as both ancient languages are 6. similarly

(similar) pronounced as zeta.

While zed has an origin that makes logical sense, the reason why Z is

pronounced as zee in the US is a bit more practical. This pronunciation 7. that/which

first appeared in Thomas Lye's

New

Spelling­book in 1677 has been changed in order

to reflect the bee, cee, dee, ee, gee pattern that the rest of the alphabet follows. In the

8. nineteenth (nineteen) century, the pronunciation really took off when Charles

Bradlee wrote the famous alphabet song and included zee instead of zed 9. to rhyme

(rhyme) with me.

So there you have it: When it comes down to it, the reason why Z is pronounced

as zee in America is nothing more than 10. convenience (convenient)．
