Why are so many British people interested in historical television programs like Downton Abbey (《唐顿庄园》)? Maybe because they want to see how both rich and poor people lived years ago. Or is it because they like looking at the beautiful buildings people lived in the country houses?
Downton Abbey is not a real place, but the house they used for the program is real. Highclere Castle in the south of England was a castle (城堡) 900 years ago, but in the 19th century, people changed it into a house.
Why did people build country houses? Probably because they wanted other people to see how much money they had. These houses often had lots of furniture (家具), paintings and servants (仆人) to cook, clean, and look after the family.
But as we know from the story of Downton, the money of the families who lived in these houses did not last.
Today, many country houses are open to anyone. People pay money to take a look inside. Some of the houses were sold and became hospitals, schools, hotels, and even prisons (监狱). And some are used for making films and TV programs like Downton Abbey.
1. What kind of program is Downton Abbey?2. Where was Highclere Castle?
3. When was Highclere Castle changed into a house?
4. Are many country houses open to anyone today?
5. What are country houses used for today?
4 . You may know the English letters A, B, C, but do you know there are people called “ABC”? You may like eating bananas, but do you know there are people called “banana people”? If you don’t know, I will tell you about them. They are some Chinese people like you and me, but they aren’t in China. Why do people call them like that?
If we call somebody an “ABC”, we mean he or she is a Chinese person but was born in America. Sometimes, people also call them “banana people”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So if somebody is a “banana person”, he or she is “white” inside and “yellow” outside. By saying that, we mean he or she has yellow skin (皮肤) but does things in an American way. “Banana people” were born in America and they live in America for a long time, so they think like Americans and do things like Americans. However, these people still have Chinese blood (血统). Their parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents are from China. They all have black eyes and black hair, so they look like us, Chinese people.
There are many famous “banana people” in America. They do very well in America and they are really great in their own fields.
根据上面短文的内容回答问题(每小题答案不超过6个单词)。
1. Does “ABC” mean English letters or “banana people” according to this passage?
2. Where was an “ABC” born?
3. Do “banana people” think like Americans and do things like Americans?
4. What blood do “banana people” have?
5. What do you think of “banana people” in their own fields?
