题目内容

Dragons are not real animals, but look like a combination (结合体) of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer. They have two horns (角) and a long moustache (胡子). With fantastic powers, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.

We are proud to call ourselves the "descendants (传人) of the dragon" In Chinese, "excellent" people are often called "dragons". A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons, for example, “ Hoping one's child will become a dragon," which means hoping he or she will be successful.

It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characteristics. They are creative, confident, brave and quick -tempered. There are some famous "dragons" who have done excellent things, for example, the great man Deng Xiacping, the famous businessman Li Jiacbeng and the movie star Zhao Wei. They are all very successful.

There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head – Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years.

The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the "descendants of the dragon", it is necessary for us to know the views on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be " dragons".

This year is the Year of the Dragon. Good luck to you!

     Dragons can be friendly or fierce (凶狠), they can bring good luck or cause death, but one  thing is
sure——people  talk about  them almost everywhere in the world. For a creature that doesn't actually
exist, that's quite something.
     In Chinese culture, dragons are generous and wise, although  they can be ①unpredictable. The
dragon was closely connected  to  the royal  family: theemperor's robes (礼袍) have a symbol of a gold
dragon with five claws. ②Other members of the royal family were allowed to wear dragon symbols, too,
but with fewer claws and of a different colour. According  to popular belief,  if you were born  in  the
year of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave, and a natural leader.
    But in the west, dragons had a different reputation (名声). The very first text in English, the
Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, who fights and kills a
dangerous dragon but is himself killed in the fight. However, across the border in Wales, the red
dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive symbol, indicating strength and a sense of national
identity.
   ③Why should  the dragon have a different character  in different parts of  the world? Some experts
believe it is due to the animals that  the myths grew out of.  In  the west,  the  idea of  the dragon
probably came  from  the snake——an animal which people hated and ④____ ____of (害怕).
     But in China, the idea of the dragon may have come from  the alligator--a shy animal which lives in
rivers, but which  is usually only seen when  there  is plenty of water--a good sign for agriculture(农业).
So the Chinese dragon was a bringer of ⑤good fortune.
