    A. made B. enjoyed C. understood D. treated (二) The two main American political parties are the Democratsand the Republicans. They are stood for by a donkey and an elephant. The reason comes from political cartoons. These are drawings that express opinions about political parties or candidates. Perhaps the most famous political cartoonist in American history was Thomas Nast. He lived more than 100 years ago. Thomas Nast used his drawings to show dishonesty and the illegaluse of power in government. His cartoons helped create public pressure on elected officials. In 1870, newspapers supporting the Democratic Party denounceda former Republican cabinetmember. Thomas Nast drew a cartoon in protest. He called it “A Live Jackass Kicking A Dead Lion . The dead lion stood for the cabinet member who was no longer in power. The jackass stood for the Democratic Party. “Jackass is an old word for someone who is stupid or foolish. It is also another word for donkey. The picture of the donkey had been used many years earlier. Democratic President Andrew Jackson used it as his personal political symbol, after his opponentscalled him a jackass. Then it was used, sometimes, to mean the whole Democratic Party. It became established as the party symbol when Thomas Nast used it to stood for the Democrats. Thomas Nast himself created the elephant as a symbol of the Republican Party. He first used it in a cartoon in 1874. And he continued to use the elephant to stand for the Republicans in many other cartoons. Soon, everyone thought of it as the Republican Party symbol. Today, after more than 100 years, the donkey and the elephant continue to stand for America’s two major political parties. 【查看更多】

    My First Days in New York

    　　Sunday 2nd July

    　　It’s amazing that I can stand on the New York City now．I can hardly believe my eyes even if I see the famous Statue of Liberty．I come from Perth, a quiet town in Scotland, and I haven’t seen much of the world．Luckily I can be one of the exchanged program students．We can stay here for 2 weeks．I am really excited about the following weeks．But before I came to New York, my instructor told me some differences between the English we and they speak．I am a little bit nervous．

    　　Monday 3rd July

    　　I’m really tired of the difference．I woke up at 2 o’clock and went out to have some food and sat at a table．Oil the pavement－or sidewalk, as they call it here．I was happy to sit and watch people．Sometimes I can overhear some American accent．I entered a small coffee shop and ordered something to eat．But the problem is that I couldn’t understand the waitress’ New York accent and she couldn’t understand mine．Later, I got a hamburger with crisps but I wanted chips．Then I walked back to my hotel and went to my room, which I knew was on the first floor．But in America, they say first floor instead of ground floor so I went into the wrong room．I felt so embarrassed! That was the worst moment for me．I felt far away from home even though Americans and British speak the same language．I was like a foreigner．But the American woman who was in the room laughed and said she had had the same problem in England．

    　　Sunday 16th July

    　　How time flies! I still remember the first day I came to New York but now I must leave her．The embarrassment was gone when I got used to the life here．I met some many friends and took Dart in lots of activities．My American friends made a fuss of me(大惊小怪)and they said my accent was so cute．Yesterday we held a goodbye party in their International Student Center－that’s “centre” where I come from．I will miss you, New York．
