Street Markets Around the World
There are many ways of shopping. You can shop by telephone, by post or through your home computer, but for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional—at a street market. You can find markets anywhere in the world. Here are four of them:
There are many “floating markets” in Asia; perhaps the most unusual is Thailand(泰国), at a place called Damned Saduak. It’s open from six in the morning to the noon every day. People sell fresh fruit from their boats.
Many Belgians(比利时人) say that the Grand Place is the most beautiful square in the world. It’s the home of a colourful flower market. It’s open every day except Monday. On Monday, instead of flowers, there’s a wonderful bird market.
One of the world’s famous markets is in Mexico City(墨西哥城)—the Sonora Market. You can buy toys, birds, herbs and medicine. There’re all kinds of things. It’s open every day from early in the morning till late at night.
In England, every weekend, thousands of young people from all over London travel to the Camden Market—it’s the place to go for street fashion, CDs and tapes. Many people also go there for fun.

But I could never understand her habit of cheering while we were walking in the race.
We walked together all over the town and entered half-marathons（半马拉松）, 26 miles.
I carried it to the starting line along. It had twenty-six cheering ideas, one for each mile. But I wasn’t really planning to slow myself down with all those ideas. I had to keep her list because I didn’t want to hurt Tina’s feelings. I looked at Tina’s cheering list when I checked my watch. At the top of the list was only one word: “Yourself.” I thought it did give me a good start to the race. While I was at it, I took the chance to thank her for the strength the list brought to me. By the time I finished the second mile, my parents were cheering me on by the side of the road. It just so happened that “family” was the next on Tina’s cheering list. At that moment, I had plenty of things to be thankful for.
But by the time I was close to the final mile, I was nearly out of breath. I didn’t know if I could make it another mile. Then I looked at the final idea on Tina’s list in my hand: “You can make it.”
I had thought the cheering list would slow me down. Instead it carried me to cross the finishing line.
| A. She gave me a cheering list to “talk” to me. B. I finished the marathon in less than six hours. C. Tina was the best speed-walker in our school. D. I walked the first mile of the race in 12 minutes. E. The next mile flew by, then the next and the next, each with a cheering idea. |
In 2011, when British photographer David J. Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia, his camera was taken away by a group of black monkeys. The result was hundreds of monkey selfies (自拍照). The best ones show a female monkey smiling toothily for the camera. Slater then sold the photos and they became popular on the Internet.
Nobody knew they would create a copyright battle three years later.
Last month, Wikimedia Commons put the monkey selfies online under a collection of free photos without Slater’s permission. Slater asked the website to take them down since he owns the copyright.
However, Wikimedia Foundation—the organization behind Wikimedia Commons—refused Slater’s request. They said that according to US copyright law, whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the photo. It was the monkeys but not Slater that pushed the button.
What’s more, monkeys don’t own copyright. “US copyright law says that works that come from a non-human source can’t ask for copyright,” said Katherine Maher, Chief Communications Officer of Wikimedia.
Slater argues that the pictures belong to him as they were taken from his camera. He said he bought the cameras; he spent a lot of money to travel to Indonesia; and it was his carelessness that allowed the monkeys to take his cameras away. All these have made him the author of the picture, no matter who pushed the button. In a sense, the monkeys could be regarded as his assistant, Slater said.
As of now, there has been no result in the Monkey Selfie case. Who do you think will win this interesting battle? What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Some monkeys grabbed Slater’s camera.
B. Slater took photos of the monkeys and sold them.
C. The photos taken by Slater became popular on the Internet.The underlined word “copyright” in the second paragraph probably means “______” in Chinese.
A. 网络 B. 版权 C. 材料The copyright battle of the photos began in ______.
A. 2011 B. 2012 C. 2014Who owns the copyright of the photos according to Wikimedia?
A. The monkeys. B. David J. Slater. C. Nobody.What is the story main about?
A. A copyright battle over photos taken by monkeys.
B. Why Wikipedia refused to take down some photos.
C. How the photos taken by monkeys became popular online.
Saya, the life-like woman robots started her work as a teacher at a primary school in Tokyo Japan days ago. She gave lessons to the pupils there. You won’t hurt it, hit it or play with it.
Professor Hiroshi Kobayashi of Tokyo University of Science, who built Saya, said she didn’t mean to take the place of human teachers with Saya, but to show the joys of technology. “We didn’t want to do all the work of a teacher, but to build this robot to teach children about technology. And Saya may be a help to the schools which have not enough teachers.”
“In some villages and small schools, there are children who know little about new technology and also there are some teachers that can’t teach these lessons,” Kobayashi said. “So we hope the robot can make the children become interested in new technology.”
