In the 16th century, breakfast was only to break one"s fast(随便吃一点). But 200 years later it had
become a large meal, not just for family, but for numbers of guests as well. It was a social(社会的)event. It began at 10 a.m. and lasted until 1 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became,
instead, a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a.m. and became a family meal.
Dinner, however, went to the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 a. m. Years later, it
had moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 p.m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p.m. Lunch is a

Five Olympic mascots were announced exactly 1000 days before the Beijing Olympic opening
ceremony. The long-anticipated mascots represent four of China"s most popular animals—the fish, the
panda, the Tibetan antelope and the swallow. The fifth mascot is the brightly burning Olympic flame.
Each of the mascots has a repeated two-syllable name. This type of name is a traditional way of
showing affection for children in China. BeiBei is the fish, JingJing is the panda, HuanHuan is the Olympic
flame, YingYing is the Tibetan antelope and NiNi is the swallow. The first characters of their two-syllable
names read "Beijing Huanying Ni," or, in English, "Welcome to Beijing."
The five elements of nature, including the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky are found in the mascot"s
origins and headpieces. These special headpieces also display the folk and culture of China. Each mascot
also symbolizes a different blessing —prosperity, happiness, passion, health and good luck.
It is the first time more than three mascots will share the important duty of representing their host
country. Han Meilin, chief of the mascot design team explained that, "China has such a rich culture that no
single mascot could possibly represent it! That is why we chose to produce five mascots instead of one."
Called the "Five Friendlies," the figures embody(体现) the Chinese people"s hope for peace and
friendship in the world and the spirit of the Olympics, representing not only multi-ethnic(多民族的)
cultures of China, but also the traditional Chinese philosophy of harmony between humans and nature.
In order to help Beijing 2008 spread its theme of One World, One Dream to every continent, the Five Friendlies reflect the deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Games - and to invite every man, woman and child to take part in the great celebration of human union in
2008.

C. New Beijing, New Olympics.

D. How the Five Fantastic Mascots came into being.

culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. From this view point,
all human groups have a culture. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically
everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a socio-cultural
system. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases. Here is one of the cases of children
growing up apart from human society. In the province of Kidnaper in India, the director of a children"s
home was told by local villagers that there were "ghost(鬼)" in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the
director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to
have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. These children were the ghosts described by the
local people. In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala(as the older child was named)
and Amala(the name given to the younger child).
Kamala was a terrible-looking being-the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. Close
at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size. Their eyes were
very bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as
they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours like squirrels.
Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior by taking part
in a cultural community. They learn a certain human language as well as certain kinds of human behavior
through their membership in a certain cultural community.
B. Amala and Kamala were raised in forest by ghosts
C. human beings will not grow up human unless they are raised by human beings in human culture
D. culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society
B. They were two squirrels, Amala and Kamala, who ran on fours.
C. They were two young wolves, Amala and Kamala, whose eyes were bright and sharp.
D. They were two children, Amala and Kamala, who were growing up in a children"s home.

Section One
The city is an accumulation (积累)of human civilization. Just as the American social philosopher
(哲学家) Lewis Mumford put it, it is a special system which, fine and compact（简洁的）, has been
designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization. Many Western languages have developed their
versions of the term “civilization” from the same Latin (拉丁语的) word “civitas”(meaning “city”), and
it is by no means a coincidence（巧合）. The city has played a significant role in the perfection of
order in human society.
Section Two
The emblem, showing the image of three people ? you, me, him/her holding hands together,
symbolizes the big family of mankind. Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character “世”
(meaning the world), the design conveys the organizers" wish to host an Expo which is of global
scale and which displays the various urban cultures of the world.
Section Three
Created from the inspiration of Chinese character “人”, the design roots deeply in Chinese culture.
It tells the world the eternal core (永恒的核心) and theme of Shanghai World Expo will be always
human. The mascot（吉祥物） “Haibao” will become the messenger for the theme of
World Expo 2010 Shanghai China “Better City, Better Life”.
The basic structure of the Chinese character “人” in which each stroke(一笔，一划) supports
each other also shows the concept that the beautiful life should depends on mutual-help. If the human
are willing to support one another, the harmony among human, nature, and society will be available.
Such an urban life will be nice.
Haibao’s confident smile is expressing his sincere greeting from China ? “World Expo 2010
