Cute,
soft
teddy

were
born
in
the
20th
century.

Day.
In

first
gift.
The
day
I
was
born,
my
grandmother
handed
me
a
teddy
bear.
She
made
it
herself.
That
makes
him
the
same
age
as
me!
I
took
him
everywhere
I
went,
holding
his
arm
at
nighttime
and
falling
asleep
with

between
two
places.
The
Silk
Road
has
been
a
bridge
between
East

West
for
more
than
2,000
years.
But
did
you
know
that
the

cultural
transmission
(传送)
routes.
It

to
take
shape
during
the
Western
Han
Dynasty.
The
trade
route
started
from
the
city
of
Xi'an
in
Shaanxi
province
and
ended
in
eastern
Europe,
near
today's
Turkey
and
the
Mediterranean
Sea.
The
Silk
Road
was
about
6,500
kilometers
long.
It
went
across
one-fourth
of
the
planet.
The
Silk
Road
got
its
name
because
Chinese
silk
used
to
be
carried
along
this
road.
In
addition
to
silk,
jade
（玉）,
tea
and
iron
also
went
west
to
Rome.
From
the
West
came
glass,
gems（宝石）,
and
foods
like
carrots
and
sesame.
The
Silk
Road
was
very
important
to
both
China
and
the
rest
of
the
world.
In
addition
to
trade,
knowledge
about
science,
arts
and
literature,
as
well
as
craftsmanship
and
technology,
was
shared
across
the
Silk
Road.
In
this
way,
languages
and
cultures
developed
and
influenced
each
other.
Today,
various
historical
sites
along
the
Silk
Road
are
popular
travel
destinations.
such
as
the
Terracotta
Warriors（兵马俑）in
Xi'an
and
Mogao
Grottoes
(莫高窟)
in
Dunhuang,
Gansu.
A
new
train
line,
the
New
Orient
Express,
is
running
from
Beijing
across
the
Silk
Road.

A

green
gardens
surrounds

Castle
in
the
English
countryside.
It

out

the
River
Thames
and

next
to
a
hunting
ground.
It

secretly
slept
at
Windsor
Castle
because
it
was
safer
than
London's
urban
areas.
All
of
the
windows
were
blacked
out.
Today,
Windsor
Castle
is
the
private
home
of
Queen

II.
When

Madame
Tussauds
is
a
wax（蜡像）museum
in
London,
UK.
French
artist
Marie
Tussaud
founded
this
museum
over
200
years
ago.
It
shows
waxworks
of
famous
and
historic
people,
as
well
as
popular
film
characters.
There
are
16
Madame
Tussauds
in
many
big
cities
around
the
world,
including
New
York,
Tokyo
and
Sydney.
The
newly-opened
Beijing
museum
is
the
fourth
Madame
Tussauds
in
China,
following
Hong
Kong,
Shanghai
and
Wuhan.
Each
year,
Madame
Tussauds
Studio
makes
about
40
to
50
figures.
It
takes
nearly
four
months
to
make

from
getting
the

physical
measurements
to

the
work.
Most

donated

after
his
sitting.
His
trousers
still
have
a
small
hole
that
he
tore（撕裂）on
his
bicycle
chain.
However,
Madame
Tussauds
is
about
more
than
just
wax
figures.
It
plays
a
role
as
a
witness（见证者）to
history.
“For
most
people,
history
is
biography
and
the
story
of
famous
people,
and
Tussauds
are
always
good
at
portraying
them,”
Pamela

Passage
5
Few
words
are
spoken
more
often
every
day
on
the
streets
of
Britain
than
“I'm
sorry”.
This
phrase
has
become
such
a
common
response（普遍的反应）that
it
has
taken
on
a
lot
of
meanings
.
Saying
“Sorry”
means
to
apologize.
This
is
simple
and
easy
to
understand.
We
learn
it
both
as
a
native
speaker
and
as
a
student
of
foreign
languages.
But
in
Britain,
it
takes
on
another
meaning.
It
is
a
cultural
expression.
Imagine
this:
a
man
walks
down
the
street,
looking
down
at
his
phone.
A
woman
is
walking
in
the
opposite
direction,
towards
the
man.
She
sees
him,
but
she
can't
get
out
of
the
way
in
time.
The
man
bumps
into
the
woman.
Who
should
say
sorry?
Naturally,
the
man
should
say
sorry,
because
it
was
he
who
wasn't
looking
where
he
was
going.
Yet
in
Britain,
it
is
common
for
both
to
apologize.
It
is
known
that
British
people,
like
most
people,
do
not
enjoy
conflict
(冲突）.So
to
quickly
calm
the
situation,
British
people
will
apologize
to
each
other.
Other
times
it
may
sound
funny
to
hear
"sorry".
Some
of
my
friends
say
it
at
restaurants,
as
they
ask
the
waiter:
“Sorry,
but
can
I
order
an
other
drink?”
It
is
not
to
apologize,
but
just
to
express
that
we
need
the
waiter.
In
Britain,
sorry
doesn't
always
mean
exactly
what
you
think.
1.
What
does
the
phrase
“take
on”
mean
in
the
story?
A.
从事
B.雇佣
C.
呈现
D.拿起
2.

the
third
paragraph

situation

people
should
avoid
B.
explain
why
people
should
say
sorry
to
each
other
C.
describe
how
“sorry”
has
an
other
meaning
in
Britain
D.
show
how
polite
British
people
are
3.
The
restaurant
example
shows
that
“sorry”
can
be
used
to
.
A.
apologize
B.
calm
a
situation
down
C.
explain
what
you're
thinking
about
D.
ask
a
waiter
to
bring
something
4.
What
might
be
a
good
title
for
this
story?
A.
“I'm
sorry”
is
more
than
just
an
apology.
B.
Traditional
British
manners.
C.
How
to
best
catch
others’
attention.
D.
Finding
a
way
out

situation.
Passage

What
are
some
successful
foods?
McDonald's
Big
Macs
are
popular.
Instant
noodles
have
also
become
a
global
success.
Now
instant
noodles
are
celebrating
their
55th
birthday!
Instant
noodles
were
invented
in
Japan
by
Momofuku
Ando（安藤百福）.Trying
to
find
a
way
to
make
noodles
last
longer,
Ando
began
experimenting
and
in
1958,
he
made
the
first-ever
pack
of
instant
noodles.
Now,
55
years
on,
they're
eaten
all
around
the
world.
In
fact,
they're
so
popular
the
Japanese
voted
instant
noodles
as
their
best
invention!
Each
year,
95
billion
packets
of
instant
noodles
are
eaten
around
the
world,
according
to
the
World
Instant
Noodle
Association.
In
the
UK,
people
call
instant
noodles
"pot
noodles".
University
students
like
them
a
lot.
During
your
first
semester
at
college,
you
may
be
given
a
gift
bag
that
in
eludes
instant
noodles!
But
watch
out
-
people
may
think
you're
lazy
if
you
are
an
instant
noodle
lover.
Why?
Because
they
are
cheap
and
easy
to
eat!
Despite
their
reputations
(名声)
for
being
“lazy
food”,
the
UN
often
sends
instant
noodles
as
part
of
its
food
援助）packages.
This
is
because
of
their
long
shelf
life
and
high
fat
content,
which
makes
people
feel
full
for
longer
periods.
However,
instant
noodles
aren't
totally
innocent（无辜的）.They're
high
in
fat
and
salt.
Health
experts
say
they're
bad
for
us
and
we
shouldn't
eat
them
too
often.
