Whenever Prince George steps out for an engagement, like on the royal tour of Canada, or poses for【小题1】(office) photographs, he only ever wears shorts, 【小题2】 has long confused royal watchers.

According to William Hanson, 【小题3】expert in ceremony, there’s a very good reason for this—and it has nothing to do with fashion, but rather a royal tradition that 【小题4】 (date) back to the sixteenth century. A new born baby would be dressed 【小题5】a gown for their first year or two. Then he was “breeched (穿裤礼)” and wore articles of clothing like shorts. The usual custom is that a boy graduates to trousers around eight years old.

With time【小题6】(change), middle class boys began to wear trousers but they 【小题7】 (consider) suburban(土气的) by the upper. Hanson explains,“【小题8】 is a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts.” The British upper are always keen to hold on to tradition, and this also silently marks them out from “the rest”. However, as for William and Kate, the 【小题9】(decide) to dress George in shorts is 【小题10】   (likely) down to tradition than a class issue.

Every culture has its own ways to show friendship. On the islands of Hawaii ,friendship is part of the aloha spirit". In the language of the Hawaiians who first【小题1】(settle)on the islands long ago, aloha had a very special meaning: to be with happiness.

Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves【小题2】 land, they are ready to love their people or community. This is the second【小题3】(important)sign of friendship. It is called lokahi in the Hawaiian language, which means oneness( 和谐)with all people.【小题4】(enjoy )the land, you should not be selfish. The land is【小题5】everyone who lives on it. Today many different peoples call Hawaii their home. Indeed, Hawaii is a place【小题6】people make one big community from many smaller【小题7】 (community). Each person gives hokua (help) to other people so that all feel stronger. It is believed【小题8】the islands can be a paradise(天堂)when people live peacefully. People are told that their actions should be as gentle as the wind that blows from the sea. When problems happen, people【小题9】(ask)to solve them with understanding. So when the people of Hawaii talk about ohana (family), they are【小题10】 (actual) talking about all those who live on the islands.

A brief meeting about the “China-France Year of Culture and Tourism in 2024” was held at the Palace Museum in Beijing on Thursday, 【小题1】 has released a variety of upcoming activities featuring cultural legacy and arts.

2024 marks【小题2】60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and France. The meeting’s place, the Palace Museum, was chosen for a reason. Starting from April 1, an art show co-planned by the Palace Museum 【小题3】the Palace of Versailles (凡尔赛宫) in Paris, will debut (首次亮相) on site. A pocket watch that once 【小题4】 (witness) the friendship between France’s King Louis XIV and the Emperor Kangxi of China’s Qing Dynasty will 【小题5】 (display) among 181 other items.

The rare objects will introduce visitors   【小题6】   the cultural interactions that took place between the two countries   【小题7】 (date)back to the second half of the 17th century through the 18th century.

Compared to   【小题8】 (field) such as painting, music and film, “cultural legacy” is a rather novel field in China-France cooperative exchanges.   【小题9】 (they) efforts in areas like legacy conservation will inspire the world to see how the growth of humanity is independent from different cultural contexts.

Besides shows in China, more than 10 programs will be   【小题10】 (specific) launched in France to bring Chinese culture to locals in 2024. More than 20 Tang Dynasty treasures will be selected and then exhibited at the Guimet Museum in France in November.
