四、阅读理解
A
Folklore?has long been?passed down?from one?generation?to the next, attracting children while also binding families and communities together.
But the?National Trust?has warned that?advances?in technology and social media is?causing?traditional mythology to?die out?as it is no longer?relevant?to modern lives. It said that in a world?dominated?by?smartphones?and the internet, superstitions（迷信） that were once believed to save the lives of?miners?and?tales?of?magical?blacksmiths were no longer?of interest?to children who have never ridden a horse or put?coal?on the fire.
Jessica Monaghan, the National Trust's Head of Experiences and Programming,?called on?the public?to share its knowledge of folklore from different regions of the UK to keep it?alive. "These tales and?traditions?tell us so much about our?ancestors?and their?relationship?with the world around them and help us?appreciate?the?layers?of history and symbolism in the places we live now," she said.Ms Monaghan said some tales were?unique?to particular parts of the country,?reflecting?local?character, whilst others showed how much the?nation?shares in common.
Dee Dee Chainey, author of the National Trust's?A?Treasury?of British Folklore, said: "In the?Doctrine of Signatures?of the 16th century, the walnut（核桃）was seen to?cure?diseases of the brain,?purely?because it?resembles?it. Few people today would believe this as we now have advanced?medical?knowledge and scientific methods through which to?evaluate?the success of medical?treatments."
Ms Chainey insisted there was "still hope" with folklore seeing a resurgence(复苏) as many attempt to?unearth?old tales. "Many of the old?fairy tales?are now being?rewritten?and?retold?in new ways: with new heroes,?heroines, and new lessons that are relevant to the modern day," she said.

Tea time is first thing in the morning at Buckingham Palace! Even queens need a morning pick-me-up, and Queen Elizabeth II is no exception to having an early morning necessity. The Queen eats breakfast every day at 8: 30 a m. with her husband, Prince Philip. But she doesn’t arrive on an empty stomach In fact, Elizabeth treats herself with something before her morning bath every morning at 7:30.
Once she’s up, Queen Elizabeth II enjoys a pot of hot Earl Grey, alongside some tea biscuits. Like most United Kingdom residents, she takes her tea without sugar, but doesn't mind adding a little milk. You can, in fact, drink your tea like a royal, because Her Majesty's favorite brand of Earl Grey is available around the world.
Her tea is piping hot and poured from silver pots into a bone china cup for her to sip while she listens to the radio. If you can also enjoy a cup of tea in the morning, follow the example of the Queen and try making these tea cookies to eat before the most important meal of the day.

For the first time, a woman captain led Britain’s Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace. Canadian officer Megan Couto made history on June 26 by commanding the troops guarding Queen Elizabeth’s London home. Couto, 24, led her Canadian unit in the ceremony, which is witnessed by thousands of visitors to London each year. Her unit is the Second Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, also known as "The Patricia's."
The British Army said Couto was the first ever female infantry officer to lead the ceremony. “We look forward to seeing a British Army female infantry captain of the queen's guard when roles are opened up to women by the end of next year,” a statement read.
Women were barred from serving in the British infantry and other combat roles until the military changed the rule last year.
The Canadian unit was invited to Britain to mark Canada’s upcoming 150th anniversary. Canada Day is celebrated on July 1.

Queen Elizabeth still serves as the country’s official head of state.
Many celebrations will be held throughout Canada to mark the country’s 150th birthday. Among the activities will be parades, music and cultural performances and fireworks. Britain’s Prince Charles and his wife Camilla are to spend three days visiting Canada to mark the anniversary. In Britain, people plan to gather in London’s Trafalgar Square to take part in a celebration for Canada Day. The event will feature musical performances, Canadian food, sports and other activities. It is predicted that there will be thousands of foreign visitors coming to enjoy the event.
