发布:2024/11/19 10:0:2组卷:27引用:4难度:0.71087.Spend any time in London,UK's capital,and you'll quickly gather that it's a multicultural(多元文化的)community.Look around at your fellow passengers on the tube(地铁) or the bus.They're of every skin colour and dress differently to one another.Listen,and you'll hear many other languages besides English spoken.Some of these people,no doubt,will be tourists who are in London to see the sights.But others-in fact probably most-will be living their lives there,along with millions of others.
Along with white British people,there are Britons from,or with parents and grandparents from,the Caribbean,India,China and most other places.This makes London a fascinating place in which to live.The reason is that when people settle in a place,they don't just buy a house and live there,but bring aspects of the culture of their "old country" with them.
The most visible sign of this is the number of restaurants offering dishes from different parts of the world.In a city in which it's estimated 250 different languages are spoken,you can expect a similarly wide range of foods to be available.You would expect in one of the world's leading cities to encounter(遇到) French,Italian,Chinese and Indian eateries.But in London you'll also find Polish,Patagonian and Palestinian restaurants.
However,London's multiculturalism isn't just about food.Many types of people are gathered in one space,but the way they live differently shows in that space.They worship(崇拜) differently,for one thing.Alongside the famous old English churches by Nicholas Hawksmoor and Christopher Wren-responsible for one of the capital's most famous landmark,St Paul's Cathedral-you'll find mosques(清真寺),temples and synagogues (犹太教堂).
London even speaks its own special kind of English.Language experts created the term "Multicultural London English" to identify the dialect of English that appeared at the end of the last century.
All of this makes London a very surprising and varied place to call your home.But,in a way,this has long been true.In the 18th century,the compiler(编纂者) of the first English dictionary,Samuel Johnson,once said: "He who is tired of London is tired of life."

D.introduce the first English dictionary he compiled发布:2024/11/19 7:0:2组卷:4引用:1难度:0.51088.As I got into the plane flying to Boston last week and saw what row I was sitting in,I could see a mother sitting in the first seat and in the middle was a little girl,2 or 3 I'm guessing,put into a car seat.As I looked at the mother,I could sense her nervousness-likely worried as to who would be sitting next to her daughter and what the reaction would be.
Once I sat down,I could see why she was worried.The small child was handicapped and struggled to perform many of the functions the rest of us take for granted.Her eyes seemed to wonder,her arms would occasionally wave about,and she appeared to be a child dumb as well.
But in spite of all of this,she was a beautiful little girl with a magical smile.And when I looked at her and smiled,she would return the favor.
After a while,she started grabbing my arm so as to hold it.Her mother would quickly ask her to stop and at first I acted like I didn't notice.About the 4th time the little girl grabbed my arm with her small hand and the mother began to ask her to stop,I gave her a simple look of confidence and told her everything was OK,and that as a father of four little ones myself,it was nice to have someone the same age of my youngest,sitting next to me.
The mother seemed relieved and for the rest of the 90-minute flight,I felt a little hand across my forearm.Once again,gratitude filled my heart as thoughts and reflections on my own life,health,and children flooded my mind.

(3)What's the author's attitude towards the child?
