er soured. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and
Dr. Patty Hill, the headmaster of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, named Good
Morning to All. As the local expert on spiritual songs, and as the organist(风琴师) for her church,
Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister"s knowledge in the area of Kindergarten Education,
Good Morning to All was sure to be a success.
The sisters published the song in a collection called "Song Sto
ries of the Kindergarten" in 1893.Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education
at Columbia University"s Teache
r College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the song, without the sisters" permission. What was worse, he added a second lyric, the familiar Happy
Birthday to You
Mr. Coleman"s addition of the second lyric made the song famous and popular and, eventually, the
sisters" original first lyric disappeared. Happy Birthday to You the one and only birthday song, had
altogether replaced the sisters" original title Good Morning to All.
After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister named Jessica, discussed the issue
together and took Mr. Coleman to court. In court, they proved that they, indeed, owned the melody
(曲调). Because the family legally owns the so

Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin,
entertained by the apprentices (学徒) of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan -- all leading crosstalk
artists of years past -for only 20 yuan (US$2.40). The success in Tianjin has also given mo
tivation to therejuvenation (复活) of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.
Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Tianjin became a place
where rising stars developed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was famous for the
quality of its crosstalk performances.
"We only want to bring the traditional pieces back to the audiences, helping them to learn their charms
and definitions," said Yin Xiaosheng, head of the Zhongyou Arts Troupe.
Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, "face and voice"), crosstalk was the main form of comedy
throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets
were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses
or theaters.
Usually crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to
contemporary social issues. Although there are hundreds of pieces in the traditional works, they are
constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. This is one
of the features that have made crosstalk a populist(平民化) art form throughout its history.
"Crosstalk was in the doldrums with competition from other art forms, especially TV," sa
id Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). "But it has regained
its status with cr
osstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware of its rare qualities." The reawakening of interest in the traditional art is going beyond merely watching and listening for many.
"More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students," said
Wang, "They are sure that crosstalk will have a strong market."
B. the teahouse and theater
C. the cinema
D. the temple fairs and markets
B. the pieces mainly cover folk tales and social issues
C. the pieces are changing with times and audience
D. it is performed by some leading crosstalk artists
B. Variety.
C. Harmony.
D. Period.
ssage we can predict the future of crosstalk lies in______.B. having advantages over other media
C. young people"s the awareness of its value
D. the competitive and big markets for art
crowded with shoppers.
Cities and towns in the United States sparkle with bright lights and decorations. Churches, homes,
schools, shops, and streets are decorated with Christmas trees, colored lights, Santa Claus and his
reindeer, and nativity scenes showing the stable where Jesus Christ was born. Store windows display gifts and Christmas scenes. The traditional colors for this holiday are red and green, and red poinsettia is
considered as the Christmas flower. On Christmas Eve, President of the United States turns on the lights of the Christmas tree near the White House and sends his greetings to the nation.
Families prepare for this holiday a few weeks before. They make special foods. They make and buy
gifts. They wrap them with ornaments and lights. Houses are decorated with wreaths of holly, evergreens, and mistletoe. Many families share memories by following special ethnic Christmas traditions from their

vacation, and some families take vacations together.
People wish each other "Merry Christmas" during this holiday season. In many states, people look
forward to snow (White Christmas). Christmas carols are sung on the radio and in public places during this season. Some of the most famous carols are Silent Night, The First Noel, Joy to the World, and Jingle
Bells. There are many shows on television called "Christmas Specials". Films like A Christmas Carol (by
Charles Dickens) and Miracle on 34th Street are family favorites. Churches, organizations, and
newspapers ask for donations of money and food for the needy. Volunteers from the Salvation Army stand outside stores collecting money for the same purpose. Meals are prepared and served to the poor and

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
recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap(间隙) between breakfast and dinner.

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.
B. Prosperity, Happiness, Passion, Health and Good luck.
C. New Beijing, New Olympics.
D. One World, One Dream.
B. No single mascot could represent China.
C. The five mascots represented the culture of China.
D. They would reflect the desire of Chinese people.
B. One of the five mascots YingYing stands for the Olympic flame.
C. Beijing announced its five 2008 Olympic mascots just 1000 days before the big event.
D. The five mascots express affection for Chinese children by two-syllable names.
B. The theme of 2008 Beijing Olympics - One World, One Dream.
C. The significance of five 2008 Olympic mascots - the Five Friendlies.
D. How the Five Fantastic Mascots came into being.
B. Chinese multi-ethnic cultures, philosophy of harmony between humans and nature and five elements
of nature.
C. Chinese people"s hope for peace and friendship in the world and the spirit of the Olympics.
D. The deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Olympics.
