Scan the passage and find some cultural symbols(文化符号). Dragons The colour red Lucky numbers What’re the special meanings of these symbols in China and in the West? Let's read to find out. Read the text paragraph by paragraph. Symbols of Chinese Culture Chinese culture is one of the oldest in the world, and it is rich in traditions and beliefs. Many of the things you see, hear, or even taste in China may be symbols with special meanings! Dragons In many Western stories, dragons are frightening monsters. However, people in China are not frightened of them! Instead, they think dragons are a symbol of power and good fortune. Chinese dragons are so popular in China that you can see them in many places, such as vases, buildings, money, clothes, paintings, and jewellery! The word for “dragon” even appears in names and idioms. For example, “to hope that one’s children become dragons” means that parents hope their children will do well in life. In China, people think dragons are so powerful that they call themselves the descendants of the dragon! be rich in 富含 belief /bɪ'liːf/ n. 信仰；信念 西方的；西部的 使惊恐的；骇人的 monster /'mɒnstə(r/ n. 怪物；怪兽 惊吓的;受惊的;害怕的 a/the symbol of... ……的象征 fortune /'fɔːtʃuːn/ n. 运气; 巨款 花瓶 珠宝；首饰 descendant /dɪ'sendənt/ n.后裔；后代 idiom /'ɪdiəm/ n. 习语;成语 Read the text paragraph by paragraph. The colour red In China, red is a powerful colour with special meaning. Many people think it brings good luck and wealth, so you will see red decorations such as paper-cuts, couplets, and lanterns during festivals like the Chinese New Year. People think red is so lucky that they wear it during celebrations. At traditional Chinese weddings, both the bride and groom wear red. Red also has positive meanings in other cultures. For example, a red carpet shows importance, and red roses symbolize love. However, in Western culture, red could sometimes mean loss. If a company has “red ink” or is “in the red”, it means that they are losing more money than they are earning. 钱财;财产;财富 装饰;装饰品 couplet /'kʌplɪt/ n.对联 灯笼;提灯 婚礼;结婚庆典 /braɪd/ n.新娘 /ɡruːm/ n.新郎 地毯 象征;是……的象征;代表 挣得；赚得 Read the text paragraph by paragraph. Lucky numbers Certain numbers are lucky in China because they sound like other Chinese words with positive meanings. “Six”, for example, sounds like “flow”. It symbolizes things going well. The number “two” is also lucky, because the Chinese believe that good things come in pairs. “Eight” sounds like a word which means “to make a fortune”, and it symbolizes wealth. Lastly, “nine” has the same pronunciation as the character “久”, which means “long lasting”. So “ nine” has come to symbolize a long life. On the other hand, “four” sounds like “death”. Some people find this number so unlucky that they avoid using it in their phone numbers. But China is not the only place with special numbers. In America, for example, “seven” is a lucky number while “thirteen ” is an unlucky number. 流；流动 in paris 成对的；成双的 make a fortune 发财 发音;读音 文字,字母,符号 持久的;耐久的 成为 另一方面 avoid doing sth 避免做某事 而；然而 表示两种情况的对比。 Read again and choose. 1.

Chinese people love different kinds of tea. Among them, black tea and white tea from Fujian, green tea from Zhejiang and Anhui, and dark tea from Yunnan are some of the favorites. In the Song Dynasty (960 -1279),tea culture reached new heights. The beauty of the Song tea came alive through dian cha. Powdered （粉状的）tea was whisked（搅打）with water into soft "clouds". White tea was often used to make the "clouds" as white as the moonlight. Tea artists used clean water to draw pictures on them with a teaspoon. The way of serving dan cha became a living art. It later influenced Japanese tea culture. Today, more young people are learning and passing it on. Yunnan's dark tea, especially Pu'er, got famous because of the Ancient Tea Horse Road.And it won popularity around the world. In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler found a new kind of Po'er from Yunnan in a Hong Kong shop. In the same year,he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tores.and began to sell" Yunnan Tuocha" in Europe.Since 1986, Yunnan's Pu'er tuocha has got many prizes at food expos（博览会）in France,America and other countries. Today you can see an old Australian lady holding a cup of tea of sun-dried Pu'er, though she still enjoys her English-style black tea with milk and sugar. Tea is a bridge of friendship among nations and peoples. Tea is enjoyed timelessly from ancient to modern times. Each cup of dian cha, white as the moonlight, turned tea into art, and art into eternity（永恒）.Tea is also loved globally from the East to the West. Each cup of Pu'er, with the smell of sunshine, tums tea into friendship, and friendship into a shared future. ( ) 51.What is the best title for the passage? A. More Than a Drink B.
