behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people
across Asia.
Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans
around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion (坐垫)
on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory. (挂件)
Other kidults still enjoy children"s stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the
Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is
actually reading a children"s book!
"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like
emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at
Hankuk University (韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults
and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may
be right.
Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood
because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show
their fear of society and adulthood.
B. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don"t want people to know that they are kidults
C. Bloomsbury thinks the cover with an adult is better

The first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public place. The earliest daily newspaper
was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700"s the world"s first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn"t
have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.
The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621,
an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper
was the Daily Courant (每日新闻). It came out in March 1702.
In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first
published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (波士顿
新闻通讯), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty
daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.
Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (发行量) in the world. But the
largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun (朝日新闻). It sells more
than 11 million copies every day.

thinking of the British Isles as England. In fact, the British Isles contain a variety of peoples and only the people
of England call themselves English. The others refer to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish, as the case
may be; they are often slightly annoyed (苦恼) at being classified as "English".
In Scotland the sound denoted by the letter "R" is generally a strong sound, and "R" is often pronounced in
words in which it would be silent in southern English. In the Highlands and the Western Isles the ancient
Scottish language, Gaelic, is still heard. The Scots are said to be a serious, cautious, thrifty (节约的) people,
rather inventive (善于创造的) and somewhat mystical. All the Celtic peoples of Britain (the Welsh, the Irish,
the Scots) are often described as being more "fiery (暴躁的)" than the English. They are often of a race that is
quite different from the English.
The Welsh have protected their language to a remarkable extent. The English generally look upon the Welsh
as an emotional (易动感情的) people who are, however, somewhat difficult to get to know easily.
Ireland is divided into two parts. The six countries of Northern Ireland are still part of Great Britain, though,
in normal circumstances (环境), they have their own Parliament. The Irish are known for their charm and
vivacity (活泼), as well as for the beauty of the Irish girls. Irish, often calls Erse, is a form of Gaelic. It was in
danger of dying out, but when the territory (地域) of the Republic became independent, Erse was received, and
is now the official first language of the Republic, English being the second. The Irish are known for their charm
and vivacity, as well as for the beauty of the Irish girls.
B. Because only English plays a more important role than the others.
C. Because all the people are glad to be regarded as English.
D. Because they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England.
B. both Wales and Ireland
C. both Highland and Western Isles
D. both Northern Ireland and England
B. The Welsh, the Irish and the Scots are all the Celtic peoples of Britain.

D. The Welsh have not protected their language very carefully.
B. Gaelic; second
C. Gaelic; first
D. English; second
in Italy in the 1400s, but ballet as it is danced today began in France. During the reign of King Louis XIV, in the
1600s, it was officially recognized as a form of art. The French Royal Academy of Dance was founded in 1661
to promote ballet.
Traditional, or classical, ballet follows strict rules and traditions. There are standard positions for the arms,
legs and hands, and special movements that make the dance flow smoothly.
Classical ballet uses orchestras (交响乐团), fine scenery and splendid costumes. Many ballets tell a story,
but the dancers do not speak any words. They act out the story, using their bodies. The person who arranges
the dance movements is called the choreographer (舞蹈指导).
Some ballets are very famous. They have been danced for many years. Giselle, a story of a tragic young
village girl who dies in love-stricken grief, was first performed in 1841. Two other long-time favourites are
Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty. These two ballets are as famous for their music as for their dancing.
Modern ballets often look very different from classical ones. They include freer, more modern dance steps.
Sometimes, instead of telling a story, they dwell on certain moods or themes. Special effects may be produced
with lighting, rather than scenery.

by bowing instead of shaking hands. It is impolite not to return a bow to whoever bows to you.
Bowing has many functions in one. It expresses the feeling of respect, thanks, regret, and so on. You can
bow when you say, "thank you", "sorry", "hello", "goodbye", "congratulations", "excuse me", "good morning",
and more.
Bowing seems simple, but there are different ways of bowing. Bowing techniques vary from a small nod
of the head to a long, 90-degree bow. It depends on the social position or age of the person you bow to. If
your opposite is of higher social position or older than yourself, you are supposed to bow deeper and longer
than him or her. It is polite to bow from your waist. Men usually keep their hands at their sides, and women
usually put their hands together on their legs with their fingers touching. If it is not a very formal situation,
you can bow by nodding. The most common bow is a bow of about 15 degrees.
You might feel strange doing it, but try to bow in Japan. You will be considered very polite!
