was founded by Carthaginians and according to tradition, it got its name from the great Barker family of
ancient Carpage. After numerous different conquers, including the Romans and the Moores that seriously
damaged the city, the Argons made Catalonia, of which Barcelona was the capital. Strong and prosperous,
since the 1970s, the city has formed its Catalon background. But it wasn"t until the summer Olympics in 1992
that Barcelona became the modern, lively city that it still is today. And with this prosperity have come
wonderful hotels. The Raewon Callas the 1st was opened in 1992, by the King and Queen of Spain.
With buildings like the Casa Cal Bain and the Casa Minga, Antony Gaudy is believed to have made great
impact on the image of Barcelona. He also built the fantastic Park Quell. Antony Gaudy died in 1926, leaving
an unfinished cathedral as his epitaph (墓志铭).
There are the attractions of coming to Barcelona?
There are many, many different attractions: culture, leisure, monuments, our architecture, and the
gastronomy (美食). Barcelona has commercial areas and shopping areas of five kilometers that goes around
to the sea to the north. You can also see our architecture, our monuments, our museums, and our restaurants.
So there is a mix between shopping and services.
One label that"s hot among fashion consciousness is MIRO, and these trendy designs of clothing and shoes
originate in Barcelona. The region itself now produces for other international labels, like for the Gallic giant
Lacose.
No visit to the city would be complete without a tour of the Nou Camp, the home of one of Spain"s finest
teams, Barcelona Football Club. FC Barcelona was founded in 1899 along with the other Spanish team, Real
Madrid. It"s one of the greatest football teams in Europe. With players like Maradona and Ronaldo having
played for Barca, it"s easy to explain their success! FC Barcelona is known to have won more cups than any
other team in European football history. The stadium, the Nou Camp, can hold one hundred and twelve
thousand people, making it one of the greatest places to watch and play "the beautiful game".

historical significance. Situated on the east coast of Scotland, Edinburgh proudly offers a window to past.
Indeed Edinburgh has been Scotland"s royal city since 1437. Most of Edinburgh"s sights are contained within
two districts: the old town and the contrasting new town. The largely medieval Royal Mile which stretches
for a statute (法定的)mile and the 107 yards from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Hollyroodhouse, dominates
the city"s central area. The Royal Mile has been quoted as being: The largest, longest and finest street for
buildings and density of inhabitants, not only in Britain, but in the world.
To millions of visitors, Edinburgh Castle is a must see because there are many treasures. Princess Street
is located in Edinburgh"s new town directly below the castle. Next to Princess Street, in the shadow of
Edinburgh Castle lies the broad green Princess Street Gardens. This is one of the most delightful gardens I
have even visited.
Another marvelous site to visit is Calton Hill. I sat for hours on it, just happy to breathe the fresh air.
I stayed in Edinburgh for about two weeks and never tired of the cityscape. I must admit the Edinburgh
is really a place no traveler will cross out from the traveling list.

have Unpleasant meanings.
The expression "to be in hot water" is one of them. It is a very old expression. "Hot water" was used 500
years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely
hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.
That no longer happens. But we still get in "hot water". When we are in"hot water", we are in trouble. It
can be any kind of trouble-serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the
police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother, if he walks in the house with dirty shoes.
Being in "deep water" is almost the same as being in hot water. When you are in deep water. you are in a
difficult position. Imagine fl person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head.
You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem
is too deep. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks without knowing anything about the
stock market.
"To keep your head above water" is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks
to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above
water until he finds a new job.
"Water over the dam" is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be
changed. The expression comes from the idea that water that has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back
again.

deal of fanfare (仪式上用的短曲); there are weddings on mountain-tops with guests barefooted; and there
have been weddings on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests. But many weddings, no matter
where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs.
Before a couple is married,they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby,
their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready, then comes the most
exciting moment.
The wedding itself usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. The wedding party enters the church while
the wedding march is played. The bride carrying a bouquet (花束) enters last with her father who will "give
her away." The bridegroom enters the church from a side door. When the wedding party is gathered by the
altar, the bride and bridegroom exchange vows (誓言). It is traditional to use the words "To have and to hold
from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to
cherish, till death do us part". Following the Vows, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding ring on
the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.
After the ceremony there is often a party, called a "reception", which gives the wedding guests an
opportunity to congratulate the new couple.
The car in which the couple leaves the church is decorated with balloons,streamers and shaving cream.
The words "Just Married" are painted on the trunk or back window. The bride and bridegroom run to the car
under a shower of rice thrown by the wedding guests. When the couple drives away from the church, friends
often chase them in cars, honking and drawing attention to them. And then the couple go on their honeymoon.

"Palaeolithic (旧石器时代的) Man". "Neolithic (新石器时代的) Man",etc..neatly sum up whole periods.
When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely
choose the label "Legless Man". Histories of the time will go something like this:"in the twentieth century,
people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very
early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing
is that they didn"t use their legs even when they went on holiday."
The future history books might also record that we were deprived (剥夺) of the use of our eyes. In
our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a
bird"s-eye view of the world. When you travel by car or train, an unclear picture of the countryside
constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, especially, are mixed with the urge to go on and on: they
never want to stop. The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says "I"ve been there."
You mention the remotest, and someone is bound to say "I"ve been there"-meaning, "I drove through it at
100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else."
When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you
spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is
achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience.
The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present.
For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he
makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end
of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the
just reward of all true travelers.
B. The best way to travel
C. The reward of true travel
D. Possible ways to travel
B. lifts prevent people from walking
C. modern vehicles have replaced walking
D. people prefer cars, buses and trains
B. people always focus on next destination
C. people can enjoy the view of the destination
D. people care much about the arrangement of the journey
B. eyes become useless in traveling at high speed
C. people want to sleep during traveling
D. people won"t use their eyes
B. There is no need to use legs or eyes.
C. Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.
D. We should experience the present heart and soul while traveling.
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
D. Bloomsbury knows kidults prefer to chose books for adults in nature
B. it can help kidults feel relaxed
C. it is helpful to solve some social problems
D. it can make people listen to their parents
B. kidults have mental problems
C. our society is very dull
D. some people can never grow up
