Their native region is the Erhai region of Yunnan, and its main city is Dali. The Bai have their own dialect, which resembles Chinese; however, Chinese is mostly spoken today. The Bai have an agricultural economy, their main crops being rice, wheat, beans and cotton. Their staple foods are pork, rice and wheat. The Bai have a tradition of building houses as a community, usually beginning on a festival day. The houses are in the style of traditional Chinese architecture. They also build halls known as Yunhe halls, which can hold about 200 people and are used as community centres. The Bai prefer the colour white, and Bai women wear white and red costumes, while the men wear white shirts and long wide trousers. Known as good singers and dancers, the Bai have an opera, which combines both music and dance. Another tradition is the Bai tea ceremony, in which tea is served three times. The most wellknown Bai festival is the Torch Festival. During this festival, a tree, known as the torch tree, is burnt. Young mothers and their children walk round the tree three times for good luck, while others wish for a happy life for the village. Children then light torches and run through the fields.白族白族拥有大约二百万人口，其中90%住在云南。他们的土生地区是云南的洱海，它的主要城市是大理。白族有着他们自己的方言，与汉语相像，而今天，大多数的人讲汉语。白族人以农业经济为主，主要作物有水稻、小麦、豆类和棉花。他们的主食是猪肉、米饭和小麦。白族传统上经常在某个节日开始时将房屋建成社区。房屋的样式都是中式传统建筑，他们也建造被称为“云河大厅”的建筑，大厅可容纳200人，并且被用作社区中心。白族人喜欢白色，妇女穿红白相间的服装，而男人穿白衬衫和宽松的长裤。白族人因能歌善舞出名，他们也有结合了音乐和舞蹈的歌剧。另一个传统是白族茶道，这里茶要上三次。最为出名的白族节日是火把节。节日时，人们烧一种被称为火把树的树。年轻的母亲和她们的孩子绕着树走三圈，祈求好运，而其他人祈求全村人的生活幸福。然后孩子们点燃火把，跑过田野。Reading PracticeNo Problem“Ouch！” I howled in pain as I dropped the hammer onto my foot. I felt foolish.It was pouring with rain, and, lame for a moment, I hopped around to the drivers side.“No luck？” said George. We had a flat tyre and I was trying to change the wheel. But it was stuck firm.We had driven ten hours along the road through the jungle without seeing another soul. In the distance was an ox working in a field.“So what do we do now？” asked George, as I got back into the car.About fifteen minutes later, the rain stopped. Out of the jungle came an old woman. She walked towards us carrying something long and thin.“Uh oh, here comes danger！” said George, “Shes got a spear.”She was wearing traditional garments, with short sleeves, a colourful necklace and other jewellery. As she got closer, we saw the spear was just a wooden pole. I got out.“Hello！” I said, in English. “Can you help us？” I pointed to the wheel.She stared at it, and then made a gesture to follow her back to the jungle. George and I looked at each other, then set off after her.Soon we came to a tent under an arch of trees. It had a rigid framework of wooden poles, like the one the woman was carrying, covered with heavy cloth, and fastened with rope made with some kind of loose plant fibre. All around were corn plants. It was harvest time for the grain, and a spade, a fork and other tools were lying on the ground. Nearby were some chicks and a rooster, and a pig tied to a post.The woman folded back a cloth and invited us in. My eyes had to adjust to the darkness inside. The tent was furnished with a few mats on the floor, and a low table with a teapot. She picked up a photo and showed it to us. Was it her husband? The man in the photo was bare to the waist. He looked much too young. She was probably a widow. Maybe her son or her nephew?Our hostess poured some tea, and watched as we drank. “Say something，” ordered George.“Cheers！” I said and raised my cup. “Can we contact a garage？”Suddenly, there was a tap at the door. It was the man in the photo. The old woman said something, and he looked at us. I felt awkward, so I smiled at him.“No problem，” he said, in English. He pulled out a mobile phone and made a call.“Twenty minutes. No problem. Lets wait by the car，” he said.As we walked back to the car, the sun pierced the clouds. Over the hills beyond was the most beautiful rainbow.没问题“噢！”当我不小心将锤子砸到脚上时，我痛得大叫。我觉得自己挺傻的。天下着倾盆大雨，我的腿瘸了一会儿，然后我单腿跳着绕到了驾驶室的一旁。“倒霉了？”乔治说道。我们的车胎爆了，我设法换个新胎，可车胎纹丝不动。我们已沿着公路行驶了十小时穿过丛林，途中一个人影也没见到。在远处，有头牛在田地里干活。当我返回车里时，乔治问：“现在该怎么办？”大约十五分钟后，雨停了。从丛林中出来了一个老妇人，她向我们走来，手里拿着又长又瘦的什么东西。“噢，危险来了！”乔治说，“她拿着根长矛。”老妇人穿着民族服装，短袖，戴着彩色的项链以及其他的饰品。她越走越近，我们看到所谓的“长矛”不过是根木杆，我下了车。“你好！”我用英语说道。“能帮帮忙吗？”我指着车胎。她盯着车胎看了会儿，然后做了个手势让我们跟着她进入丛林，乔治和我对视一眼，然后跟着她出发了。没过多久，我们来到了一个坐落于树荫浓郁的树下的小屋，小屋的框架是由扎实的木杆建成的，木杆就和老妇人手里拿的一样。小屋外面盖着厚实的布匹，用由某种松散的植物纤维而制成的绳子固定着四周。房子周围都种着谷物，这时是作物丰收的时节，地上零散放着锹、耙及其他农具。附近有些小鸡和一只公鸡，木桩上拴着一头猪。老妇人掀起布帘，请我们进去。屋里一片黑暗，我只好努力让眼睛适应。在小屋里，地上铺着几块地毯，一张矮桌上放着一个茶壶。老妇人拿起一张相片给我们看。是她丈夫吗？相片里的男人赤裸上身，他看上去相当年轻。也许她是个寡妇，这男人也许是她的儿子或侄子？女主人给我们倒茶，看着我们喝。“说点什么，”乔治命令我。“干杯！”我边说边举杯，“我们能联系上一家汽车维修站吗？”突然，门口传来了敲门声。正是相片中的男子。老妇人对他说了些什么，然后他看着我们。我觉得有些不自在，就对他笑笑。“没问题。”他用英语说。他掏出手机打了个电话。“二十分钟就到，没问题，我们在车旁等。”他说。当我们走向汽车时，太阳穿透云层。在远处的山上，挂着一道最漂亮的彩虹。Cultural CornerNative Americans and Australian AboriginesAmong the most wellknown ethnic minorities of the Englishspeaking world are the Native Americans of North America, and the Australian Aborigines.It is generally agreed that Native Americans came across from Asia, somewhere between 12,000 and 25,000 years ago. Until the arrival of the Europeans in the 15th century, it is thought that there were between 1.8 million and 10 million Native Americans in North America. The people had thick straight black hair, dark eyes and brown skin. They were a hunting, fishing culture, but as they moved round, many kinds of society developed, speaking many languages. For example, in the west people lived in villages and developed an agricultural economy, whereas in the east, where it was colder, people remained a hunting culture. With the arrival of the Europeans, there were many battles over land, and the Native American population became much smaller, partly because they died from European diseases. Today, Native Americans live in only a few areas of North America. They were made citizens of the US in 1924.The native people of Australia, called Aborigines, probably came from somewhere in Asia more than 40,000 years ago. It is thought that at the time of the arrival of the Europeans in the late 18th century, the population was about 350,000.Like the Native Americans, they were hunters and gatherers, living in small groups across the continent. These groups did not have leaders and the older men of the group made their decisions together. When important ceremonies took place, hundreds of people from different groups travelled great distances to attend them. For Aborigines, the land is very important and no part of it can be owned by a particular person.After the arrival of the Europeans, Aboriginal numbers became smaller and smaller, as the Europeans took more and more land. However, in the 1960s, the importance of Aboriginal culture began to be understood. Today, Aborigines make up just over 1.5% of Australias population.美洲土著居民和澳洲土著居民北美的美洲土著居民及澳洲土著居民是讲英语的国家中最为著名的少数民族。人们普遍认为美洲土著居民来自大约12 000 到25 000年以前亚洲的某个地区。在15世纪欧洲人来到之前，人们认为北美洲有180万到1 000万的印第安人。他们有浓密的且又黑又直的头发、黑眼睛和棕色的皮肤。他们是渔猎民族，但随着他们四处迁移，便演变出许多不同的社会群体，他们讲着不同的语言。比如，西部人驻村而居发展起了农业经济，而在更冷些的东部，人们依然处于狩猎文明阶段。随着欧洲人的到来，发生了很多争夺土地的斗争，印第安人的人口数目大为减少，部分原因是他们死于欧洲人带来的疾病。如今，美洲土著居民仅居住在北美的一小部分地区。他们在1924年成为美国公民。被称为土著的澳洲本土居民很可能来自40 000多年前亚洲的某个地区。人们认为在18世纪末欧洲人到来的时候，他们的人口大约是350 000。像美洲土著居民一样，他们以狩猎和采集为生，以小群体的方式住在这个大陆上。这些群体里没有领袖，凡事均由年龄比较大的人共同商议决定。举行重要仪式时，成百上千来自不同部落的人们赶很远的路来参加活动。对土著人来说，土地是非常重要的，任何一部分土地都不能被个人占有。欧洲人来了之后，随着他们占据的土地越来越多，土著居民的人口数量越来越少。然而，在20世纪60年代，土著文化开始被重视。今天土著居民仅占澳大利亚人口总数的1.5%多一点。1The Bai ethnic group has a population of around two million, 90% of whom live in Yunnan.
