In many places, baby boys are dressed in blue and baby girls in pink. Why the difference?

Scientists now think this started many years ago. When most men worked in the fields, the weather was very important to them. If the sky was blue, it meant good weather. So when the men thought of blue, they were very happy. In the past, women‘s main job was to look for food for their family.They liked pink and red because these were the colours of healthy food, such as strawberries and apples.

People were also influenced by old stories. The colour blue was once believed to have the power to drive evil spirits away , so people dressed baby boys in blue in the hope that boys would be protected. Baby girls were in pink because, according to a Europe story, girls were born inside pink roses.

How often do you change your hairstyle or ask for new clothes? Do you care much about fashion?

A recent survey among high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the US found that Asian teenagers cared more about their appearance (外表) than teenagers in the US.

The survey was made in 156 high schools in the four countries. South Koreans cared most about their appearance. They were followed by the Chinese and Japanese, while US students showed the least interest in fashion.

―The different results show the differences of cultural backgrounds (文化背景),‖said Sun Yunxiao from the China Youth and Children Research Centre.

He explained that in the US there are many different standards (标准) of beauty, so teens are more likely to be confident about their appearance. About 85% of American teens are happy with themselves. Besides, most US students agree that people should follow their own interests rather than those of others.

―According to the survey, Chinese students are happy and disciplined (有纪律的). They have a strong desire to make a difference. But Chinese students depend on their parents too much, so they need to be more . Besides, they should learn how to relax,‖ said Sun.

What are the hopes of teenagers?

We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing school? Some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying and go to university. According to the research, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.

What are the dreams of teenagers?

Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day.

Some students have less realistic dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some says they‘d like to go on exciting trips: one student said she‘d like to sail across the Pacific Ocean (太平洋). And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they‘d like to be able to fly!

It was clear that many teenagers have similar hopes. However, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on to your dreams. One day they may just come true.

七、阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。（10分）

The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.

Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, ‗It‘s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.‘ Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, ‗She isn‘t exactly friendly.‘ Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.

Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What‘s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.

Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn‘t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.

96. Is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?

97. What does ‗understatement‘ mean?

98. What do the British love to watch comedies about?

99. How does Mr Bean make people laugh?

100. What are the key points for people to understand British humour?
