For London’s Chinese community, Chinese Lunar New Year is a huge event.Before this day, people make sure their houses are clean and tidy, buy new clothes and have their hair cut to bring good luck for the new year.London has the biggest celebrations outside of Asia.Hundreds of thousands of people go to watch the parade(游行) from the West End to Trafalgar Square, which includes Chinese acrobatics(杂技), and traditional lion and dragon dances. In central London there are fireworks and stage performances with all kinds of acts and special guests.There are also celebrations including fashion shows and Chinese hip hop acts, as well as traditional acrobatic performances. In Chinatown, the streets which are full of food stalls are decorated with many lucky red lanterns(灯笼)．If you’re thinking of eating in one of Chinatown’s excellent Chinese restaurants, book a table early, or you won’t have one on that night. For young Chinese people studying or working in the U．K., video chatting is a common way of joining big family celebrations back home.Those missing home might also cook traditional Chinese dumplings for friends in Britain or organize an evening of karaoke(卡拉 OK), another popular way of celebrating.The festivities are not as noisy as back home, they say, where loud firecrackers are traditionally used to frighten away a terrible monster called “Nian”，and the special red envelopes of money from relatives back home may also be hard to reach the U．K.But there is still plenty of excitement, happiness and good feelings ， as people come together to enjoy the celebrations. - 2 - Section Ⅰ Starting out & Understanding ideas 重点 单词 阅读词 汇 (在不认识的单词前划√) □dragon n． □lunar adj. □poet n． □vote v． □fantasy n． □literature n． □envelope n． □pole n. □polar adj. □roof n. □starving adj. 写作词 汇 1.harvest n. 收成 2.regardless__adv. 不管，不顾 3.novel n.

In the United States a large number of people aged 25 to 40 get tattoos.

Today, there are more than 50，000 tattoo artists in the U．S. alone. Even famous people such as Angelina Jolie and David Beckham have some kind of tattoo on their bodies. According to researchers many people tattoo themselves as a sign of individuality(个性)．They want to express themselves and show others who they are. Other forms of body art are also on the rise. Today, tattoos are widely accepted in society. That hasn’t always been the case.Tattoos used to be connected with criminals(罪犯), lower class people or certain groups like sailors and motorcycle gangs. While tattooing was once only for men, more - 14 - and more women are now getting tattoos. Tattooing goes way back in history.In many parts of the world, people used tattoos for different purposes. The ancient Romans tattooed their slaves. Native Americans tattooed themselves as a sign of bravery. In Nazi Germany Jews were marked with a number to tell who they were. Not only has tattooing itself become a big industry, but removing them is also on the increase. Many people just don’t realize that a tattoo lasts forever, and at some time in their lives they may want to get rid of it. The cost of tattooing yourself usually depends on how large the tattoo is or how complex(复杂的) it is. Prices are usually from a hundred to over a thousand dollars. 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了文身这门艺术的历史及现状。 5．The numbers in Paragraph 1 are used to show that________.
