palace and ancient building complex in China, and the world at large. Its construction began in 1406 and
was completed 14 years later, having a history so far of more than 580 years. Twenty-four emperors from the Ming and Qing dynasties lived and ruled China from there. Most of the buildings in the Forbidden City were rebuilt many times, although they maintained the original architectural style.
The Forbidden City, extending 753meters from east to west, and 961 meters from north to south
makes a rectangular shape and covers a total area of 720,000 square meters. It consists of several dozen
compounds of varying sizes and some 9,900 bays of rooms, with a total floor area of 150,000 square
meters. Most of the buildings were built with wood, roofed with yellow glazed tiles(琉璃瓦)and built on
blue-and-white stone foundations, looking solemn and brilliant. City walls are 10 meters high, and a
52-meter-wide moat(护城河) surrounds the Forbidden City. Three- storied towers are placed at each
corner of the wall.
The buildings of the Forbidden City fully embody the artistic features and style of ancient Chinese
palace architecture, and can be called a masterpiece in Chinese, even the world, architectural history.
Today, as the largest museum of cultural relics in China, the Forbidden City, also called the Palace
Museum, collected and displayed about one million precious historical relics from the Shang dynasty (16th century B.C. - 11th century B. C. ) to the Qing dynasty. It was made part of the world cultural heritage

George Stephenson"s father was a stoker(司炉)of a coal engine near Newcastle upon Tyne in English.When George was fourteen he became his father"s assistant at a shilling a day.He loved engines and spent all his spare time studying them.That was in 1795, and in those days all steam engines were stationary
(固定的). They were used to pull trucks along rails with a chain or rope.
In 1804, Richard Trevithick built an engine on wheels, and several other engineers built locomotives
(火车头), as they were called, each one trying to make a better machine than the others.George
Stephenson himself tried to build a locomotive.
Stephenson built his first locomotive in 1814, and he kept on trying to improve it.When the first public
railway was opened between Stochton and Darlington in 1825, it was his engine, called Locomotion, that pulled the first goods train in the world, with a few passengers on board.
Stephenson"s most famous engine was The Rocket, which his son Robert helped to design.In 1829, a
prize of 500 pounds was offered to the designer of the best locomotive.Five engines took part in the tests
and The Rocket proved to be the best in every way.It astonished everyone by pulling a train at the
wonderful speed of 30 miles an hour.With Robert, George Stephenson became the leading railway
engineer in the world, both for building engines and making railways.English had interesting names in those days, and the very famous one was called Puffing Billy.

Each week, this program explains the many meanings of English expressions. Today’s expressions
include a very important word-“heart”. We will try to “get to the heart of the matter” to better
understand the most important thing about words and their stories. So “take heart.” Have no fear about
learning new expressions. Besides, popular English words can be fun. There is no need for a “heavy
heart.” Such feelings of sadness would only “break my heart,” or make me feel unhappy and hopeless.
Now, let us suppose you and I were speaking freely about something private. We would be having
a “heart to heart” discussion. I might speak from “the bottom of my heart, ” or say things honestly and
truthfully. I might even “open up my heart” to you and tell you a secret. I would speak with “all my
heart”.
When a person shares her feelings freely and openly like this, you might say she “wears her heart
on her sleeve”. Her emotions are not protected.
If we had an honest discussion, both of us would know that the other person’s “heart is in the
right place.” For example, I would know that you are a “kind-hearted” and well-meaning person.
And, if you are a very good person, I would even say that you have “a heart of gold.” However,
you might have a “change of heart” based on what I tell you. Our discussion might cause you to
change the way you feel about something.
But, let us suppose you get angry over what I tell you. Or worse, you feel no sympathy or
understanding for me or my situation. If this happens, I might think that you have a “heart of stone.”
And, if you say something to make me frightened or worried, my “heart might stand still”.
1. If you are not so happy, you may feel that ________.
A. you “have a heart of stone”
B. you have to “take heart”
C. you “break your heart”
D. you “speak from the bottom of the heart”
2. From the above passage we may see ________.
A. English words can all be used differently
B. some phrases do not have a fixed meaning
C. languages change with the time
D. the same word may have various meanings
3. What is the passage trying to impress the readers?
A. To explain how “heart” is used in phrases.
B. To show the author’s perfect English.
C. To tell English learners to learn English in phrases.
D. To advertise an English course.
path, walking under a ladder, and breaking a mirror are all bad luck. In addition, there are many other
superstitions that are worth knowing. Understanding them will keep you safe from evil spirits -if you believe
in such things -and impress your American friends when you mention them.
Like the superstitions in other cultures, American superstitions often involve the things important in daily
life, such as health, numbers, and marriage. For example, have you ever had a cough that would not go
away? According to one American superstition, you should take a piece of your hair and put it between
two slices of buttered bread. Next, feed this hair sandwich to a dog and say, "Eat well, you hound, may
you be sick and I be sound." This will trick the evil spirits and help your cough. It will also raise some
eyebrows if you try it.
In American superstitions, the number three is very important. Often, Americas will say, "All things
come in threes." Three is lucky because it represents the traditional family: mother, father, and child.
Therefore, gifts, letters, and guests will often arrive at your home in groups of three. However, it is also
possible for bad events, like accidents and funerals, to come in threes as well.
Another time people pay attention to superstitions is when they get married. During a wedding, brides
must wear or carry "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue". The old
and borrowed things will bring luck to the person who gives them to the bride. The new and blue things
will bring good fortune to the bride herself. The next time someone you know is getting married, be sure to
recite this phrase.
As it would be unlucky to discuss one more superstition, we will wind things up here. Keep your fingers
crossed, and stay lucky!
B. Cross-culture and Superstitions
C. American Superstitions
D. Daily Life in Superstitions
means _____. .
B. you will make people surprised when you try this trick

B. unlucky
C. special
D. ordinary
B. bring good luck to the people who give them to the bride
C. give the good luck to the bride herself
D. pass the bad luck to others

a carving(雕刻品). About 2000 years ago pieces of fabric were added to some poles for decoration.
Over the next 500 years the free-flying part of the flag became more important.
Every country today has its own flag. Many groups and organizations also have a flag which stands
for, or symbolizes, the aims of the group.
