Only a hundred years ago, people seldom traveled far out of their birthplace. Books were very expensive and there were few national
（國家的）newspapers and no radio or TV. In fact, most people spent their time talking and listening. And only a little reading and writing went on and many people were unable to read and write. For this reason, native dialects（方言）grew up and people spoke as their parents and grandparents did. A Cornwall woman who traveled just as far as London would find that people spoke a complete different language.Sometimes it is hard to take in just how much things have changed. You always have books around, read magazines and newspapers, have different TV or radio programs. You and everyone around you, often travel not just in British islands but all of the world. Modern science has changed our life and distances
（距離）have been made shorter. It might have taken a Cornwall woman three days to travel to London. Now it takes less than two hours by air, less than four by train and less than six by road.The result of this is that the language we use is becoming more national and the dialect are dying out. Writing, printing
（印刷）and broadcasting（廣播）have speeded up this change as one dialect has come to be used by more and more people. This is the dialect called Standard（標準的）English which was first used outside London in the south and east Midlands.(1) From the passage we know that a century ago __________.
