Chinese Emoji(表情符号) Circles Globe
“Funny”,a madeinChina emoji,seems to have recently moved beyond China. Now,it is more than an emoji,but a cultural expansion.
Reaching Global Markets
A series of “funny” emojibased bolsters(抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China,it doesn’t kill their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said,“They are just so cute that I bought three bolsters at one time. And every time I see them,my mood just brightens suddenly.”A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said,“My dad will send it whenever he doesn’t agree with someone but he has to behave politely.”
Addition to Domestic(国内的) Social Media
One commonly seen online comment from Chinese netizens is,“Every time other people send me the emoji,I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”
Released in 2013,the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a smiley mouth,two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics present a sense of satire(讽刺).
In Everyday Use Abroad
Earlier this year,one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming,who played in U.S.A.,has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in Egypt,Yao’s smiling emoji has appeared in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is oneway.
As a new online language,emojis have been helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way. Also,it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture. But how to use “the fifth innovation(创新) in China” without hurting others and turn them into commercial advantages still needs answers.

Volunteering Is Fun
One afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored.Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering.I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.
My time working on a farm was a new experience for me.It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided.However,it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle!I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.

However,you do not need to go abroad to volunteer.I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby.For example,I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir.I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert.At university,I organised a concert for charity with my friends.It was really fun founding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.
It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages.I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services.I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe(衣柜).
While this is all fun,my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories.My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell!Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world.I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.

(2018·石家庄高三模拟)Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters(通勤者) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.
There are no written or photographic records of the women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat captains who have called it the Ladies’ Bridge.
During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out backbreaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the trend in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.
September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45minute musical entitled “the Singing Bridge”, which runs at Somerset House from 9 to 25 September. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies’ Bridge” event sees the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections(投影) of female construction workers working in construction during World War Ⅱ.
Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了英国滑铁卢桥的历史、建造人、纪念活动等。

D.Few people know about the bridge.
