But for one British man once a year is not enough.Andy Park，who is better known by his nickname Mr.Christmas，has celebrated Christmas every single day for the last 14 years.

The 44?year?old electrician claims to have eaten a full roast dinner every day for the last decade and a half，having his way through over 5,000 turkeys,117,000 Brussels sprouts，and around 30,000 roast potatoes in the process.He also sends himself a Christmas card every day and looks forward to opening a present he has bought himself each evening，while watching the Queen's Speech.

“I'll never forget the day it started，” said Mr.Park.“The sun was shining，but I was just feeling fed up and bored，so I went home and put the decorations up.Suddenly I was happy.I thought，this is fun.So I did it again the next day，and the day after that.”

And Mr.Park has not been content to keep his Christmas cheer to himself.In 2005 he released a song which was called “It's Christmas Every Day”，but has yet to find chart success.

Nuclear?powered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th century. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them. But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.
The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclear?powered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)?powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance (联盟)military moves.
It will be the first time that a nuclear?powered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War Ⅱ at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclear?powered weapons are based.
“A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause billions of dollars in damage，” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.
The 44?year?old Kitty Hawk, the US Navy's oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned(废弃核武器) in 2008. The new carrier will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy's most modern technology.
Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the US?Japan military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts don't believe that the two countries are threats to the region.
“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense，” said Tetsuo Maeda, an international relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed

    3. C.
      Japan will be the first country in Asia to have a nuclear aircraft carrier
    4. D.
      Japan will be the third country to produce a nuclear­powered aircraft carrier
  4. 4.

    By his remark in the last paragraph, the professor means that______.

    1. A.
      he is quite confident of their military defense
    2. B.
      he is completely opposed to a new nuclear carrier
    3. C.
      what is needed is far more than a nuclear carrier
    4. D.
      it is unnecessary to guard against the two countries

Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers （航母） are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th century. So far, only two countries in the world―the USA and France―have ever produced them. But these frightful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.

The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel-powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2009 in an agreement on October 30th. The two countries also planned to level up their military cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a large role in alliance military moves.

It will be the first time that a nuclear-powered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War II at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclear-powered weapons are based. "A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause billions of dollars in damage," said Masahiko Go to, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.

The 44-year-old Kitty Hawk, the US navy's oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuda since 1998. The new carrier, yet to be unveiled, will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy's most modern technology.

Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the US-Japan military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, Japanese experts don’t believe that the countries are threats to the region.

"There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense," said Tetsuo Maeda, an international relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capacity, in the region, much more than what is needed.
