24、Birthday Traditions in Different Countries
England Certain symbolic objects are mixed into the birthday cake as it’s being prepared. If your piece of cake has a coin in it, then you will be rich. Also, when it’s your birthday, your friends give you the “bumps”. They lift you in the air by your hands and feet and raise you up and down to the floor; one for each year you lived, then another one or two for luck. |
Denmark A flag is flown outside a window to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the child’s bed while he/she is sleeping, so he/she will see them at once upon awakening. |
Holland Special year birthdays such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 21 are called “crown” years. The birthday child receives an especially large gift on a crown year birthday. The family also decorates the birthday child’s chair at the dining room table with flowers, paper streamers and balloons. |
Canada The birthday child’s nose is greased (涂抹) with butter for good luck. The greased nose makes the child too slippery for bad luck to catch him/her. In some parts of Canada, the birthday person even receives a punch (一拳) for each year he/she is alive and then one for good luck. |
Brazil The birthday child receives a pull on the ear for each year he/she has been alive. The birthday person also gives the first piece of cake to his/her most special friend or relative, usually mom or dad. |
Korea There is a big family party on the first birthday. The table is set with food, and four items: a pencil, a ruler, thread, and money. The item that the baby chooses is said to forecast his/her future: excellent student, good with hands, long life or riches. |

25、My favourite great book is The adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures(冒险). He runs away with his friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave and finally they find a box of gold.
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his town funeral. He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story, but there are another important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him . Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished(惩罚)for bad behavior.
Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on--read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.
【1】Where does Tom run away with his friends?
A.To a quiet street. B.To a small town.
C.To an island. D.To a forest.
【2】Who is the bad man in the story?
A.Huck Finn. B.Injun Joe.
C.Becky. D.Polly.
【3】How did people feel when Tom appeared at his town funeral?
A.They were surprised and pleased.
B.They were surprised and sad.
C.They were worried and excited.
D.They were frightened and happy
【4】The whole book is mainly about __________ .
A.freedom and social rules
B.children’s bad behavior
C.the growth of young children
D.strangers in American small towns
【5】The writer writes the article to ___________ .
A.tell us to read the book
B.tell us how popular the book is today
C.tell us when Mark Twain wrote the story
D.tell us why the story sounds very real
26、As kids, we learn how to write, maybe play a musical instrument and draw. So why don’t we learn to code(编码) computer programs too? What coding has in common with writing, playing music and creating art is that it lets you bring your ideas to life. Coding is all about creativity and that’s why I love it.
Creating with code
CoderDojo helps young people around the world to learn computer programming for free. When I went to my first CoderDojo class in Dublin City University in Ireland, at age nine, I didn’t know anything about coding or even what it was. But I remember making my very first web page that first day, and being surprised that I could create such a thing. It was a great feeling that I think every young person should experience!
By going to CoderDojo every week, I learned how to make websites, apps and games. One of my apps is called Auto-Journalist. It can help journalists(记者) and interviewees do interviews even if they are both really busy or live in different time zones. It is still in development, and I have showed it at an event called Coolest Projects Awards, where young people get to show the public what they have created with code. It’s so much fun to share one’s creations, and to see what everyone else has made too.
Learning environment
For the past three years I have also been helping to teach other young people at CoderDojo DCU. In recent years I have also noticed many more girls attending CoderDojo DCU to try out coding. This has a lot to do with the CoderDojo girls’ classes—girls and young women take part in it with their friends, and it doesn’t feel like coding is a “boy thing”. It is really wonderful to see this, because we need more girls and women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). It’s a good way to learn more about technology.
Start early
One of the main things I have learned in the last few years is that coding is not only for adults, coding is for young people, too. And when you are a child it is a great time to start coding, because your imagination is the limit for what you can create!
Want to learn more? Find out if there is a CoderDojo near you at www.coderdojo.com or set one up yourself! Also check out Code.org which has lots of fun drag-and-drop coding games.
【1】 In the writer’s first coding class, she ▁▁.
A. made apps and games B. created a web page
C. wrote for newspapers D. did some interviews
【2】 Why do more girls begin to learn coding?
A. There are coding classes for girls.
B. Girls want to learn a “boy thing”.
C. There are more girls in STEM.
D. Girls can meet cool boys there.
【3】What does the writer think of coding?
A. It is better than playing music.
B. It limits children’s imagination.
C. It stops people from learning fast.
D.It helps children with their creativity.
【4】What is probably the best title for this passage?
A. Start Coding as Early as Possible
B. Come for Fun in CoderDojo Class
C. Kids Should Have Chances to Learn to Code
D. STEM Is Calling for More Girls and Women
27、Dear Reader,
Imagine an 11-year-old child whose days are often spent washing clothes, looking after a baby, working hard in the fields.
Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can't fill her stomach with water because it's polluted ,and who has watched life slip away(消失) from her father, little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.
Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the real life.
Maria would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother ,now alone, needs her badly at home .Chances are Maria will grow up without any schooling .What will be her future? In many ways, it will be disastrous(灾难性的).
But for just 52pennies a day ,you can sponsor(资助) a child like Maria. Show her that somewhere, someone cares about her. Through “ Save the Children”, you can help Maria's mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a good dinner and get the money she needs to buy clothes and school things for Maria.
To help Maria most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard-working people can help themselves. Build a school, a hospital, bring in clean water .This is what “Save the Children” has been about since 1932.
For you there are many rewards. Have the chance to write to or hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Knowing that you are reaching out to another person. Not with a handout, but a hand up. That's how “Save the Children” works. But without you, it can't work. Please take a moment now to fill in and post the form below to help a child like Maria and her village.

David L Guyer
President
