to Sydney, and over twice to Melbourne. Sydney faces the Pacific Ocean, and Melboume is close to the Bass
Strait through which ships from Sydney can enter the Indian Ocean.
When the Federal government of Australia was formed in 1901, no one knew where Australia"s capital
would be. The two cities of Sydney and Melbourne both wanted the honour. Instead, the founding fathers
chose a piece of land between the two cities for the new capital. The govemment would build a new city
called Canberra as the country"s capital.
In 1991, the govemment invited the world leading architects (建筑师) to enter designs for Canberra in a
contest (比赛). An architect from Chicago (芝加哥) named Walter Griffin won. The government decided to
build Canberra according to his plan. Men started to work on Canberra in 1913. Twenty-four years later, the
city was finished. But the government moved to this new city ten years before it was completed.
At one time, almost everyone in Canberra worked for the government. However, the city today has become
a centre of education and a favorite place for tourists (观光者). Now people can hold a govemment job, or
they can work in business. They also make a living by teaching or meeting the needs of tourists.
People find life in Canberra very relaxing and pleasant. The crty is surrounded by beautiful mountains
where people can ski (滑雪). There is a large man-made lake lined with beaches (海滩) and parks in the centre
of Canberra. Canberra is now Australia"s largest island city. Many people living there have come from other
cities in Australia and from other lands. They have come to Canberra to work. Some have come to get away
from the busier way of life found in many other cities.

first made. One might think that something genius thought up the first potato chips, but it didn"t happen
that way. The Moon Lake Restaurant was a well-known restaurant in New York in 1853. Its menu included
French-fried potatoes: a popular food recipe brought back from France by Thomas Jefferson. These were
thickly cut potatoes, fried until golden brown and crisp in the outside. One evening a guest in the dining hall
felt that his potatoes were too thick and sent them back to the kitchen. The cook sliced some potatoes thinner
than before and prepared them for the complaining guest. He was still not satisfied and sent them back again!
By this time the cook was angry and decided to do exactly what the dinner guest wanted: slice the potatoes
as thin as possible. Then they would be so crisp that the diner wouldn"t be able to use his fork to eat them.
When the paper thin browned potatoes arrived the dinner was pleased. He was so happy with them that other
guests started ordering the new potatoes. The cook"s plan to stop the dinner guest from complaining did not
turn out as he had planned. Soon Saratoga Chips appeared on the menu and became so popular that people
wanted to take some home. The restaurant started selling small packages of the potato chips. A few years later
they were selling all over the United States. But because the potatoes had to be peeled by hand, it was a time-
consuming chore and potato ships were often out of stock. In the 1920s a mechanical potato peeler was
invented and soon there were potato chips in abundance. They gradually spread all over the world, and have
remained popular ever since.

History experts say Halloween goes back more than two thousand years to the Celts (凯尔特人) of ancient
Britain. October 31 was the Celtic Day of the autumn feast (宗教节日). On that day, priests (牧师) of the Celtic
religion (宗教) prayed that the spirits of the dead would retum to their homes for a few hours. The Celts built
huge fires to frighten away evil spirits released with the dead on that night.
Hundreds of years later, the Roman Catholic (天主教的) Church made November first a day to honor
Christian Saints. It was called All Saints Day or All Hallows Day. The day before was called Hallow Eve or
Halloween. The name came from the church. But the traditions were closer to the old Celtic beliefs.
People from Scotland and Ireland brought these traditions to America. Many people still believed spirits
played tricks on people on the last night of October.
In the late 19th century, American boys helped the spirits with tricks of their own. On Halloween, they
would do things like changing street signs or putting a wagon on top of a house.
American children continue to celebrate Halloween today. Many adults enjoy the holiday as well. They go
to holiday parties dressed as ghosts, monsters or famous people from history.
Children continue these Halloween traditions by going out to "Trick or Treat". They dress as frightening
creatures or characters from popular movies. They go from house to house asking for candy. They may also
ask for money for the United Nations International Children"s Emergency Fund (联合国国际儿童急救基金会).
They send the money to UNICEF to help needy children around the world.
B. American boys.
C. People from Italy.
D. People from Rome.
B. American boys.
C. People from Scotland.
D. Roman Catholic Church.
B. give us candy or we"ll make trouble
C. give us apples or we"ll go into your kitchen
D. give us oranges or we"ll cry here
B. to buy their pens
C. to send to their parents
D. to help the poor children in the world
and rides based on places from the Harry Potter books.
The novels" author JK Rowling has already given her blessing to the project. She said, "The plans I"ve seen
look unbelievably exciting, and I don"t think fans of the books or films will be disappointed."
Stuart Craig, the man in charge of the design of the park, is an Oscar-winning production designer who
worked on the Harry Potter films so it should be faithful (忠实的) to JK Rowling"s vision.
Stuart Craig said, "Our primary goal is to make sure this expenence is an authentic extension (原著的延伸)
of Harry Potter"s world as it is portrayed in the books and films."
Visitors to the park will be able to explore some of their favourite places from the book such as the village
of Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest and, of course, Hogwarts Castle, where Harry goes to school.
Although fans can look forward to a holiday in the Harry Potter theme park,many will be saddened by the
fact that the best-selling series is now drawing to a close.
The final instalment (分期连载的一部分)in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, will be
published on 21 July, and to mark the event JK Rowling is to read extracts (摘录) from the book to a select
audience at midnight on the day of publication.
Rawling has announced that two characters die in the final book, but has not revealed (透露) if Harry is
one of them so fans will have to wait to find out the fate of their magical hero.
B. A theme park about Harry Potter.
C. What people will see in the theme park.
D. Something about Harry Potter.
B. Harry Potter and most of the characters.
C. How film Harry Potter was made.
D. The ending part of the magical story.
B. Sadden.
C. Describe.
D. Open.
B. It will be well received.
C. Not satisfied with the places shown in the park.

of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe-the business tribe.
You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man
who used your brain to make a living,rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were
a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to
take se riously a man who didn"t wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.
This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of
business.
"Ties offer a point of indifference," says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers, "They give
a chance to say something about their own personality."
So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office
joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.
Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among the new bread
of entrepreneurs (创业者) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including
former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people-but not
the people wearing ties.
Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats as part of their
business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States.
Kennedy never wore a hat-in fact his nickname was "hatless Jack". Seeing that the most powerful man in the
world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply
vanished across the Western world. Perhaps "tieless Tony" (former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have
the same effect as "hatless Jack".
B. social position
C. wearing style
D. favorite hobby
B. it showed you got a good salary
C. it showed you were an employer
D. it showed you were well-equipped
B. washed
C. appeared
D. disappeared
B. Kennedy is the best leader in the world
C. millions of people will go to work without a tie
D. people will wear hats instead of ties
B. The tie will become more fashionable and popular in the future.
C. It was the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States that changed the fact that
wearing hats is part of their business uniform.
D. Men across the westem world didn"t wear hats as part ofitheir business uniform until around 1960.
are more of differenoes than similarities between them in all ways, including their drinking customs.
A superficial (表面上的) observer might think that no one in Ndrway drinks wine. Meals eaten in
restaurants or at home are usually washed down with tea, coffee or milk. Occasionally however, pale or
dark ale (麦芽酒) is drunk. It can be ordered only in restaurants, where it is served only with food.
Excellent quality beers are made in Jutland and the price is high. After beer, brandy is the favorite
drink. Aalborg schnapps made from corn and potatoes, is famous for its high alcoholic content. For the
Danes, brandy is also an aperitif (开胃酒) and is often drunk before meals. For a foreigner, the practice
of surrounding toasts here can be uncomfortable. If he accepts one toast then he will have to accept all
others, and it is difficult to drink six or seven glasses of brandy unless one is used to it. IAdies are
fortunately excluded from these rounds and they drink only a grape juice with almost no alcoholic content.
It is milk instead of liquor that is the principal (最重要的; 主要的) Finnish table drink. More milk is
drunk by the Finnish people than in any other nation. In Finland the sale of alcohol is a state behavior and
a check is kept on consumption by recording purchases on special card issued to all customers.
As there is a difference between Swedish cooking in the south and that in the north because of the
difference in soil and climate, their drinking habits are also different. In the north alcoholic beverages (烈
酒) are considered a necessity because they keep out the cold. While in the south people have milder drinks.
But generally speaking, too much drinking is rare in Sweden, partly because it is against the law.
Sale of spirits is controlled, the Swedes drink much coffee and tea. Many people still prefer the old-
fashioned coffee served in large cups with cakes. Tea is so popular in Sweden that it has been called the
Swedish national drink.
B. Brandy.
C. Aperitif.
D. Grape juice.
B. The American people.
C. The Finish people.
D. The French people.
B. is unwilling to have a surrounding toast
C. would like to accept others" toasts
D. will often drink milk instead of brandy
