in May, and Father"s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for
parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These
two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the
home. More fathers must help with child care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother"s Day people wear carnations
which have two colors. A red one symbolizes (象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is
dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are
dead visit the cemetery. On these two days families get together to have parties at home, as well as in
restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own
presents. These are valued (珍爱) more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is
important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone
companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
B. Parents give love and care to children
C. Parents educate children to be good persons.
D. Parents pass away before children grow up
B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother"s Day or Father"s Day.
C. It"s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.
D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.
B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past
C. Not all the children respect their parents
D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home
B. everyone goes to visit the cemetery
C. children always go to parents" home
D. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts

before the park opens, showing off classic thrill rides like the Space Mountain roller coaster (过山车) and
giving tours of restaurants serving all the major Chinese cuisines (烹调).
The park features an East-meets-West theme, with a trademark (标志性的) Sleeping Beauty Castle and
a Main Street that recreates small-town America. The food is distinctly Asian, catering to the masses of
tourists Disney hopes to attract from across the border in mainland China.
Robert Iger, who takes over as Disney"s CEO in October, told reporters he dreamed of going to Disneyland
when he was a child.
"I"m convinced that the children of this region will have that same dream. They will dream of one day
being able to come to Hong Kong Disneyland," Iger said.
The park plans to attract 5.6 million visitors a year and opening day on September 12 is already sold out,
said Don Robinson, managing director of the Hong Kong Disneyland Group.
Robinson said 95 percent of the park is completed and that workers are rehearsing (彩排) shows and
testing rides.
The park has eight restaurants-with 29 000 seats-serving all the major Chinese cuisines, like Cantonese,
Shanghainese and northern noodle dishes.
Visitors will also be able to dig into Japanese sushi and Kashmiri chicken curry.
The park will feature popular rides like Space Mountain as well as a jungle river cruise and a Buzz Lightyear
ride, named after the spaceman warrior in the movie "Toy Story".
A long palm tree-lined driveway leads to the park. At the front gate, there"s a huge water fountain with
a bronze statue of a whale spouting a stream of water on which Mickey Mouse is surfing.
Throughout the park, signs are in Chinese and English.
Robinson said the park hopes to eventually attract 10 million people a year, and when that goal is reached,
Disney will expand the attractions.

recognised as the most popular British comedy export since Benny Hill-with some people even thinking of
him as a sex symbol.
His visual humour and elaborate sight gags transcend linguistic frontiers, and have earned comparisons
with the great silent movie star Buster Keaton-although apparently his character was based on the work of
French comic genius JacquesTati. And now he"s making a movie: accompanied by his beloved Teddy he"s
off to L.A.to cause a whole feature film"s worth of mayhem in "Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie".
It"s a funny thing when you think about it. Whenever someone sees the British actor Rowan Atkinson
in a movie, they would immediately say, "Oh look, it"s Mr Bean!"There is really no doubt that Rowan Atkinson
is most known for playing Mr Bean, that dumb but likeable character. And that Mr Bean, has starred in a
series of short films, that many have enjoyed very much.
Mr Bean is a man, who is most known for his stupidity. He is always wearing a brown jacket, white shirt,
red tie and dark brown trousers. He also carries an adorable little teddy bear who he calls "Teddy". He also
has a penchant (倾向) for driving around in yellow Mini Coopers, and has a huge dislike for blue three-wheeled
cars. He also has a sort of girlfriend called Irma Gobb, although it is not the most steady of relationships.
What this man does is pretty much what every single human being does, but he does this with the most
bizarre (奇异的) and stupid ways possible. For instance, when he"s going to the beach, when he is putting
on his swimmers, he does it without taking off his trousers. Another example is when he is late for a dentist
appointment, he gets dressed while driving in the car. And while he does this, he remains silent. But when he
does talk, which isn"t often, it"s usually with a very deep and croaky (哇哇叫的) voice, and speaks gibberish
(快速而不清楚的言语) as well.
This is what makes Mr Bean so likeable to watch. The humor in this show is absolutely brilliant. There
are so many memorable moments in this show, such as getting rid of a revolting (令人厌恶的) meal in a
restaurant by hiding it in many things, and role-playing the various roles of Joseph, Mary and Jesus at
Christmas. It"s a real shame that there weren"t a lot of episodes. There should have been more!
But overall, whether you think of Mr Bean as a comedy genius or just a stupid idiot, there"s no doubt that
he has done a lot for comedy, and is one of the most recognizable characters in television.

body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may
be misunderstood.
In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm.
If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other"s
arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet
away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person
stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident,
they say, "Pardon me" or "Excuse me".
Americans like to look at the others in the eyes when they are talking. If you don"t do so, it means you are
bored, hiding something, or are not interested. When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite.
For Americans, thumbs (拇指)-up means "yes","very good" or"well done". Thumbs-down means the
opposite. To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check,
make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not
at people with the hand and index finger (食指). Americans shake their index fingers at children when they
scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture"s body language is sometimes confusing. If you don"t know what to do, the safest thing
to do is to smile.
B. get uncomfortable
C. keep still
D. hit you angrily
B. look at the ground
C. look at him/her in the eyes
D. look here and there
B. wants to please you
C. needs to call a waiter
D. expresses his satisfaction with you
B. Every country has its own gestures.
C. Learning a culture"s body language is very important and necessary.
D. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger.
Many students want to know the differences between American English and British English. Written English
is more or less the same in both Britain and America, though there are some spelling differences. For example,
the words colour, centre and travelled are spelt color, center, and traveled in American English.
The differences in the spoken language are greater. For example, Americans say dance /dns/, and in southern
England they say /da:ns/. In America, they pronounce not./nt/, in southern England they say /not/. However,
most of the time, people from the two countries do not have any difficulty in understanding each other.
How did these differences come from? There is no quick answer to this question. When people from England
travelled to other countries they took the English language with them. At first, the language stayed the same as
the language used in Britain, but slowly the language began to change from one part of the world.
Sometimes, the English spoken in America or Canada or Australia changed, but sometimes the language
spoken in these places stayed the same while the language in England changed. For example, 300 years ago, the
English talked about "autumn". But Americans still talk about "fall" just as people do in some parts of western
England. In the same way Americans use the expression "I guess" (meaning "I think") just as the British did 300
years ago.
A great many words and expressions have come into the language from American English, for example
movie, gas, store, mail, right away (at once), way of life and so on.
American English has changed over the centuries, too. There are several reasons for this. One of the reasons
is that people travelled to America from all the European countries and from other parts of the world, too. They
started to use English, but they also brought in some words from old French. One of the States in the USA is
called "Florida". In Spanish this is "the land of flowers". There are a great many American Indian words, for
example, "to howl" means "to cry". And "cookbook" is a German word.
( )1. There are some differences between British and American English. So people from the two countries
can hardly understand each other when talking to each other.
( )2. As time goes by, the English language stays the same.
( )3. Americans usually use "fall" instead of "autumn" when they talk about the seasons.
( )4. "Florida" means"the land of flowers" in American English.
( )5. People who travel to the USA add more words to American English.
根据文章内容，回答下列问题。
