“Haibao,the mascot(吉祥物)of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo,is very cute,”said Gu Hui,a school kid.“I want a big toy like the mascot.”
Haibao looks like the Chinese word ren,which means people or a person.The name,a typical lucky one in Chinese tradition comes from the Chinese phrase “Si Hai Zhi Bao” —the treasure of the four seas.It also means the treasure of Shanghai,which lies beside the sea.
Haibao’s blue curly(卷曲的)hair looks like the waves of the sea.Its smile is a sign of the healthy spirit of China.Those thumbs-up(翘拇指)will welcome millions of people to Shanghai from around the world.Its big feet show China has the ability to host a successful Expo.
Haibao was created by two artists,one from the mainland(大陆) and the other from Taiwan.The design is about people living together in the city.The designers want it to fit the theme of the Shanghai Expo,that is,a good life should be created by all the people and people should have harmonious relationships(和谐关系) with nature and society,so that life in cities would be better.
Surely the mascot will become the lucky symbol and cultural remark of Shanghai Expo.

A year ago,I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher told us the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head,shrugging his shoulders, he said,“You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought , perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted (打断) again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
