We spoke to three students from around the world about different national holidays. There are different customs for each festival.

Tan Xiaodong, 15, Hong Kong, China

"It'll soon be Chinese New Year. Before it, we'll clean the house and decorate （裝飾） it for good luck. Every shop is going to close for a few days and we'll go out a lot to celebrate in the streets. We might go and see the lion and dragon dances in the city center. I love this festival. "

Wendy, 16, Sydney, Australia

"Australia Day is on 26th January and it's an important holiday here. We always have a Monday off, so we celebrate for three days. My parents and I go to the countryside for a picnic and friends always come over. Many people go to beach parties or street parties and there are lots of music and dancing. What fun!"

Amy, 14, New York, USA

"The first Thanksgiving Day was hundreds of years ago when Europeans who came to America thanked God for his help. It's still a very important day for families to be together.

Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll’s famous novel Alice in Wonderland in detail.

The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.

The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice chases him, and that is where her adventures begin. As she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. The expression1. can mean to enter an unexpected situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction (分神). It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.

Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating (交配) season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But 2. means that someone is totally mad, or crazy. The expression 3. also means to be completely crazy and is more common. But don’t tell the March Hare. He must be green with envy!

25-27: Please choose the best expression for each blank.

A.to chase a white rabbit

B.to be mad as a March hare

C.to be mad as a hatter

D.to fall down the rabbit hole

The news for Antonio was not good. The ship that sank in the sea between England and France was his. Its valuable cargo lay at the bottom of the sea, and Antonio had lost his money. His friends hoped that there would be no more bad news for him.

Shylock was still angry about his daughter, Jessica, and the news for him was not good,

either. He paid people to look for her, but they could not find her. They came back with news about money she had spent and the jewels she had sold. All this made Shylock angrier and angrier.

However, when he heard that Antonio had lost a ship and all its valuable cargo, he was pleased. He decided that if Antonio could not pay back his debt when it was due, he would make him pay the penalty. He would take one pound of his flesh. He would choose the heart. Then Antonio would not be able to take business away from him any longer because he would be dead.

The news got worse for Antonio. He lost another ship in a storm near Tripoli. It was a very large ship and its cargo was very valuable. The ship and its cargo sat at the bottom of the sea. The news soon came to Venice and Shylock was happier than ever. Now he would have revenge on his old enemy. He looked forward to taking one pound of Antonio’s flesh.

“You will not take a pound of his flesh, will you?” Antonio’s friends asked Shylock. “What use is that? What can you do with it?”

“I can use it to go fishing,” he replied. “I can't eat it, but it will make me feel good. He has often laughed at me when I lose money. He even laughs at me when I don't lose money. He lends money to people for no interest, and so he takes away my friends and my business. Why does he do this? It is only because I am a Jew. But a Jew is just another person. Don't I have eyes and hands like he does? Don't I have feelings and passions like he does? Don't I eat the same food? Don't the same weapons hurt me as hurt him? Don't I get sick with the same illnesses as he does? Am I not cured in the same way? Don't I get hot in the summer and cold in the winter as he does? If you cut me, won't I bleed? If you tickle me, won't I laugh? If you poison me, won't I die? If you do me wrong, won't I take revenge?”

A.Because Antonio’s ship sank in the sea.
