九年级英语 第3页 共10页

person, such as Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and Martin Luther King (January 15). Another kind of anniversary celebrates the ―birth‖ of a state or a nation.

One of the most popular national holidays in the USA is the 4th of July, the anniversary of the country’s birth as a nation. The USA celebrated its 200th ―birthday‖ on July 4, 1976. This anniversary was so important that it was celebrated the whole year.

Another common anniversary is the wedding anniversary. It’s the date when a couple are married. The main wedding anniversaries are the silver (after 25 years of marriage), the golden (after 50 years), and the diamond anniversary (after 60 years). 28.

Li Xin: Ms. Jocelyn Chey, as we know, there are more and more Chinese students

studying in Australia. Since Australia is a multicultural society, it is probably hard for Chinese students to fit in with it. As an Australian, do you have any advice or recommendations for our youth?

Chey: As for Chinese students, they have to be a little bit more open-minded. After

all, we won’t go overseas to find the country just the same with our own. So if you go overseas, you should expect things to be different. I hope the Chinese students can be patient and find some things to enjoy.

Li Xin: Yes, but to open up one’s mind, one needs to prepare. How do you

recommend them to do before going abroad?

Chey: I think, when students are going overseas, they might worry about whether

they will be lonely, homesick or safe. So if the student has always lived with the family and has no experience of being independent, it will be hard for him to get used to being overseas. Different from young Australians, Chinese young people are not so used to being independent, such as traveling on their own. Perhaps in preparing to go overseas, young people could try to travel in China on their own. We mentioned safety, yeah? Really Australia is a safe place, however, we do have crime. So it is not very safe in some places. When you go to a city, the first thing is to find out from the local people which are the safe and not safe places.

Li Xin: It’s really very kind of you to tell us so much valuable information. Thank

you indeed.

There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it. A Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were resting their arms on it, and talking over its head. ―Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse,‖ thought Alice; ―only, as it’s asleep, I believe it doesn’t mind.‖

The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it. ―No room! No room!‖ they cried out when they saw Alice coming. ―There’s plenty of room!‖ said

Alice angrily, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table. ―Have some wine,‖ the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.

Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. ―I don’t see any wine,‖ she said.

―There isn’t any,‖ said the March Hare.

―Come, we shall have some fun now!‖ said Alice. ―I’m glad they’ve begun asking riddles(谜语).—I believe I can guess that,‖ she said loudly.

―Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?‖ said the March Hare.

―Exactly so,‖ said Alice.

―Then you should say what you mean,‖ the March Hare went on.
