    British men are encouraged to cry

    　　There are certain things British men like to believe about themselves．The first is that one day they will again win the World Cup．They also believe they do not cry．

    　　Over the centuries, Britons are believed to have a "stiff upper lip"．But is this true?

    　　Yes, it is．A recent study arranged by Kleenex on how the British express their emotions(感情)shows that 95 percent of them still contain their emotions．

    　　Moreover, while 72 percent think this is unhealthy, 19 percent can't remember the last time they "let it out"．As a result, Kleenex is carrying out the "Let It Out" campaign(运动)that encourages the British to grab a tissue and have a good cry．

    　　These days, however, the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing．Though the majority still struggles to open up emotionally, a 2004 study by Oxford's Social Issues Research Center found that 77 percent of British men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable．Half of London males admitted crying in front of their mothers．Scotsmen are the least emotional, although they are the most likely to cry at weddings．

    　　Peter Marsh, director of the center, said："Crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness．Like with David Beckham, crying because you're dropping off your boy at nursery isn't seen as weak．"

    　　Winston Churchill was said to be a frequent crier, shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter, and when he saw his wife after a long absence．

    　　Psychologists(心理学家)say that while society has accepted that men can cry, there are limits．Ronald Bracey, a consulting psychologist, said："If a man began to cry when he was having stitches(缝针)in hospital, he would be considered as a wimp(软弱的人)．Men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain．"

    If you are asked to name some national emblems of China, the dragon will probably be one of the famous images that pop into your head. We Chinese often consider ourselves "the descendants（后代）of the dragon." It is not unfamiliar to you that your parents hope that you "may become the dragon".  
    　　As a mythical（神秘的）creature, the dragon is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Traditionally, dragons are considered to govern rainfall. They have the power to decide where and when the rain falls. In addition, the dragon is a symbol of imperial （帝王的）power. The emperors thought they were real dragons and the sons of the heaven.  　
    But the creature is regarded differently in Western countries. In the Bible, dragons represent the devil（恶人）. Western people usually see dragons as cold-blooded reptiles（爬虫）, like snakes and cruel killers. In their eyes, dragons are also dishonest.　　
    　　Dragons in Western literature are presented as monsters（怪物）. It is a common tale for a mediaeval knight（中世纪的骑士） to kill a dragon and save a princess and her country from its evil. Even the popular boy wizard Harry Potter has to battle against a dragon.  　　
    　　However, dragons are not all bad in the West. "Puff the Magic Dragon" is a well-known song. The lyrics(歌词) tell a bitter-sweet story of the dragon Puff and his playmate Jackie Paper, a little boy. When Jackie grows up, he loses interest in the imaginary adventures of childhood and leaves Puff upset. Puff represents the innocence of a child's imagination, which is very positive for a dragon.  　　
    【小题1】The underlined word” emblems” in the first paragraph means “_______”.

    A．symbolsB．names C．placesD．parks
    【小题2】What is a dragon presented as according to Western literature?
    A wizard      B. A mediaeval knight  C. A princess           D. A monster
    【小题3】The writer gave the example of “ Puff the Magic Dragon” to show_____.
    A．dragons can represent the innocence of child’s imagination
    B．children don’t like to play with dragons
    C．dragons are not all bad in the West
    D．not all people in the West like dragons
