So is the fun and excitement. Unlike the cold winter keeping people indoors, the summer drives people outside. People around the world have different activities and lifestyles. Lets see how people in Japan, the United Kingdom and Southern Europe live their summers.JapanSummer in Japan means its time for all of the summer festivals to start. Stalls are set up along the roads selling snacks and toys. Thousands of lanterns are lit up at night. People walk around, wearing colorful yukata, a kind of traditional Japanese clothing. Yukata means bathing clothes. Light and casual, its a perfect match for summer. Boys and girls play festival games, among which goldfish scooping is very popular. But the most important part of Japans summer festivals is the fireworks. Long ago this was thought to scare away the ghosts. But now theyve become big shows. Big cities like Tokyo and Osaka even compete to have the best fireworks.UKSummer in the UK is much cooler than that in China. Britain is an island country. The temperature in summer is around 20 C, neither too cold nor hot. But the British people seem to be very sensitive (敏感的) to the heat. UK newspapers make headlines about the “heat” once the temperature goes over 25 C. This may be because many British families dont use air conditioners.However, the cool weather is perfect for people to play outdoor sports. Cricket (板球) is one of the favorite summer sports in the UK. Two teams of 11 people play against each other. They take turns at hitting a ball with a wooden bat to score runs. The team that scores the most runs wins. The country also holds big cricket games in summer.Southern EuropeFor people in southern France, southern Italy, Greece and Spain, lying on beaches and enjoying the sunshine is the biggest thing in summer. Many take seaside holidays in August. They may have a good swim, relax with an interesting book, or just have a nap. Many Chinese people hold umbrellas in summer to keep their skin light, while many Europeans like tanned skin better.

It means that dogs are loyal, and will stay with their owners through thick and thin.In Chinese, some words concerning dogs have derogatory meaning, such as“No ivory can come out of a dogs mouth.” But in English, the situation is different. People use “every dog has his day” to describe a period of good fortune and “work like a dog” to describe a hard worker.The dog-human relationship goes right back to the beginnings of Western civilization. Perhaps the most moving example is from the 8th century BC, in Greek poet Homers The Odyssey.When Greek hero Odysseus finally returns home after 20 years away at war, hes in disguise. Only one person -sorry, animal -recognizes him: his dog, Argos. Argos is an old, ill dog, and is about to die; but he is overjoyed to see his master again after so many years.Nowadays in the West, millions of people keep dogs as pets. People feed them, take them on holidays and look after them. In return, dogs are loyal in a way that friends sometimes arent. 69. What does the saying “Dogs are mans best friend”mean? 70. What does the underlined word derogatory mean?71. Who is Argos? 72. Why is Odysseus away from home for twenty years?73. What do people
