famous storybook bears are Rupert Bear, Winnie the Pooh (Pooh Bear)
and Paddington Bear. Most children in Britain and the US are also
familiar with the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears! Now toy bears
are very popular with adults as well as children. And many stores sell
just toy bears of a/l kinds.
Many people call toy bears Teddy Bears, but this name has only been used since the early
1900s.The name “Teddy’ is short for Theodore, and there was an American president named
Theodore Roosevelt. He was very popular and people soon started calling him Teddy Roosevelt.

Different gestures（手势） mean different things in different
countries. Sometimes a gesture that is polite in one country is not
polite in another and should not be used. Different meanings of
gestures can also cause problems in understanding what another
person is trying to say. A gesture that many people do not understand
is one that uses the thumb. Most westerners will sometimes show that
they like something by holding out a closed hand with the thumb
lifting in the air, This is called give someone or somet
hing “the thumbs
up.” Often, only one thumb is used, so it should be “the thumb up.”
The usual explanation（解释） for the origin of this gesture is not really correct. It says that in
ancient Roman times, when people were pleased with the way a gladiator（角斗士） had fought,
they showed their thumbs up, When they were not pleased, they gave the thumbs down. When a
gladiator was given the thumbs up, the emperor allowed him to live. When a gladiator was given
the thumbs down, the emperor ordered him to be killed.
The truth is, however, it was translated into a wrong meaning by mistake. If people wanted to
save the gladiator, they put out their hands and hid their thumbs in their hands. If they wanted the
gladiator to die, they pointed their thumbs straight at him.
46. Westerners lift their thumbs when they______.
A. want someone to die B. want to go to a playground
C. like something D. want someone to live
47. Most people think that in ancient Rome, “thumbs up” meant that_______.
A. the emperor could die B. the people wanted the gladiator to live
C. the fighting could continue D. the people were not pleased
48. In fact, if people wanted a gladiator to live, they _______.
A. hid their thumbs B. pointed their thumbs down
C. lifted their thumbs up D. pointed their thumbs at him
49. From the article we know that ________
A. different gestures have different meanings in different countries
B. a friendly gesture is always the same in different countries
C. the meaning of “thumbs up” is the same both now and the past
D. we should often use the thumbs
50. The main idea of this article is about________.
A. gestures around the world B. closed thumbs
C. gestures in ancient Rome D. the thumbs-up gesture

skateboarding tricks（技巧） all the time. In all, he has made up about 100
new tricks.

dream was to flip（轻抛） two and one half circles in the air. Hawk would
only have two seconds橫少） to do these flips. That’s how long he could
stay in the air before hitting the ground. Hawk called it the”9001. Hawk worked years getting
ready for the “900“， He worked on each part of the trick. Hawk did thousands of “360” flips in
the air. He practiced skateboarding hour after hour, day after day. There was no coach telling him
what to do, He could decide for himself when to start and when to stop.
At last on June 27, 1999, he felt ready to do it. He would try the 900” at the X Games in San
Francisco. On his first try, he fell. He fell on his second try, too. Then his third and his fourth tries.

Different gestures（手势） mean different things in different
countries. Sometimes a gesture that is polite in one country is not
polite in another and should not be used. Different meanings of
gestures can also cause problems in understanding what another
person is trying to say. A gesture that many people do not understand
is one that uses the thumb. Most westerners will sometimes show that
they like something by holding out a closed hand with the thumb
lifting in the air, This is called give someone or somet
hing “the thumbs
up.” Often, only one thumb is used, so it should be “the thumb up.”
The usual explanation（解释） for the origin of this gesture is not really correct. It says that in
ancient Roman times, when people were pleased with the way a gladiator（角斗士） had fought,
they showed their thumbs up, When they were not pleased, they gave the thumbs down. When a
gladiator was given the thumbs up, the emperor allowed him to live. When a gladiator was given
the thumbs down, the emperor ordered him to be killed.
The truth is, however, it was translated into a wrong meaning by mistake. If people wanted to
save the gladiator, they put out their hands and hid their thumbs in their hands. If they wanted the
gladiator to die, they pointed their thumbs straight at him.
46. Westerners lift their thumbs when they______.
A. want someone to die B. want to go to a playground
C. like something D. want someone to live
47. Most people think that in ancient Rome, “thumbs up” meant that_______.
A. the emperor could die B. the people wanted the gladiator to live
C. the fighting could continue D. the people were not pleased
48. In fact, if people wanted a gladiator to live, they _______.
A. hid their thumbs B. pointed their thumbs down
C. lifted their thumbs up D. pointed their thumbs at him
49. From the article we know that ________
A. different gestures have different meanings in different countries
B. a friendly gesture is always the same in different countries
C. the meaning of “thumbs up” is the same both now and the past
D. we should often use the thumbs
