When her friends came to the tea party, the old woman brought out some leaves and asked them to eat tea. Of course, nobody liked the tea leaves.
Just then the sailor came in. He looked at the tea leaves on the table and asked his mother, “What have you done with the tea?”

Some Chinese shops have stopped selling Japanese goods in protest(抗议) against Tokyo's approval of a school history book they say whitewashes Japan's militaristic past.
It was not clear how many Chinese stores had stopped selling Japanese products, but one association official told Renters that the boycott had begun in Shanghai, the country's business center, and the northeast city of Shenyang.
Chinese protests against Japan's bid for a permanent seat in the U.N. Security Council. Millions of Chinese have already signed an online demand against giving Japan a permanent seat.
South Korea also has criticized(批评) the Japanese text book decision. The Korean English-language newspaper Korea Times ran an article on Monday criticizing that action.

You speak, write a letter, and make a telephone call. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. But do you think you can communicate without words?

When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No. ” You nod , and people know you are saying “Yes. ” Other things can also carry message.

Have you ever noticed that a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?

In 1605
some Englishmen planned to kill their king, James I, because they thought he
was a bad man. They knew that on November 5th the King would go to the House of
Lords(上议院)to talk with his nobles.
The men rented(租赁)a building
next to the House of Lords. They dug through a wall and put many barrels of
gunpowder in a cellar(地下室) of the House of Lords. They
chose a man called Guy Fawkes to set fire to the gunpowder but something went
wrong with their plan. One of the men had a relative who was coming to the
House of Lords to meet the King. He warned his relative to stay at home. The
relative spoke to other nobles and soon the King heard about the danger.
Soldiers searched the cellars and found the gunpowder on November 4th ,Guy
Fawkes was caught and killed.

middle of the fire and tie a “guy”to it. “The guy”is the figure of Guy Fawkes
and is made of old clothes and paper. Sometimes they push their“guy”round the
streets in a cart and ask for money so that they can buy fireworks.
In the evening they light the bonfire and let off
many fireworks: crackers, rockets, bangers and many other kinds. November 5th

In 1777，British soldiers marched on Philadelphia. People feared that the bell might be stolen by the British and used for scrap metal. So they loaded the heavy bell onto a wagon and took it to the basement of a church in nearby Allentown, Pennsylvania. Once during that rough trip, the bell fell off the wagon. Some people say that the fall may have weakened the bell’s metal.
In 1778, the bell was brought back to Philadelphia. It rang out when the Revolutionary War ended and when the U.S. Constitution was sighed. And it rang to mark the deaths of many famous Americans. It also rang for the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Then, in 1835, the bell cracked again. Some people say the bell cracked on George Washington’s birthday when some little boys pulled too hard on the rope.. But most people say it cracked while tolling (敲钟) for the funeral of John Marshall, the chief justice of the United States. The story goes that as the crack ran up the side of the bell, the sound of its ring became higher and higher until it finally fell silent.
It was about this time, in the 1840s, that the bell was first called the Liberty Bell. Soon people began to think of the bell, with its large, jagged (有缺口的)crack, as a symbol of America’s struggle for freedom.
The Liberty Bell soon became famous. It was displayed many times at fairs and in parades around the country. It made cross-county trips by train and floated down great U.S. rivers by boat. Americans from all across the nation traveled for miles to see it. It no longer rang, but it was still proclaiming (宣告)“Liberty throughout the land”.
For many years, the liberty Bell was always returned to its home, Independence Hall in Philadelphia .Today the bell has its own special building in Philadelphia. A small exhibit in the building tells much of the bell’s history. Each year, thousands of people visit the Liberty Bell, one of the most famous symbols of the nation.
72. The passage is mainly about______.
A. American Revolutionary War
B. Liberty Bell
C. Declaration of Independence
D. Philadelphia
73. The reason why the American people wanted to move the bell to another place when British soldiers marched on Philadelphia was that __________.
A. they feared that the bell might be stolen.
B. the bell might be looked on as a symbol of their struggle for freedom
C. the bell might be broken
D. there were some cracks on it
74. Which of the following statements is NOT true?_______
A. The bell rang out when the Revolutionary War ended.
B. The bell rang out when the first Constitution was signed.
C. The bell rang out for the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
D. The bell rang out to mark the death of a person.
