Paris has the Eiffel Tower(艾菲尔铁塔), Rome the Colosseum(圆形大剧场), New York the Statue of Liberty. These symbolic landmarks are recognizable worldwide.

Brussels(布鲁塞尔) meanwhile has the Manneken Piss(撒尿小童). Think of the Belgian(比利时的) capital and if anything, you think of the small peeing(撒尿) boy—a 60-centimeter-high bronze figure standing on a block, supplying a constant stream of water to the basin under him.

Some might laugh. But for Jacques Stroobants, the statue is up there with the best of them. “I am proud of him. People come from all around the world to see him, ”says 60-year-old Stroobants with a fatherly glance at the little boy.

As the most famous landmark of Brussels, Manneken Piss has a very special place in the heart of Belgians.

The original Manneken Piss dates back to 1388, but the statue tourists see today dates from 1619 when the city built a second one, after the original was destroyed.

There are many stories surrounding the legend of Manneken Piss. Nobody knows why he was created. One story is that he saved Brussels by putting out the flames of a deadly fire with his well-aimed wee-wee(小便). But the most believable story is that the boy—the son of a wealthy nobleman(贵族) —was missing and feared kidnapped(绑架). The father had a statue built in honor of the way his son was found—peeing against a tree.

1. The Manneken Piss is the symbol of__________, which stands on a block of__________.

A. England; the capital

B. Italy; a provincial capital　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

C. Belgium; the capital

D. Swede; the capital

2. Why does the Manneken Piss have a very special place in the heart of Belgians?

A. Because it provides a good resting place for the Belgians.

B. Because it is a special statue with many beautiful and moving legends.

C. Because it’s good-looking with water running continuously.

D. Because it helps the Belgians make a lot of money every year.

3. If Belgians regard the Manneken as a hero, they may be more willing to believe the statue was made__________.

A. for a country boy who was peeing against a big tree

B. in honor of the boy who saved Brussels by putting out the flames of a big fire with his wee-wee

C. in honor of a little Belgian soldier who gave his life for his country

D. for the son of a rich man who was lost
