湖南省长沙市青竹湖湘一外国语学校2024年中考三模考试英语试题
"Keep calm and carry on" — You can see this message written on many T-shirts and other tourist souvenirs(纪念品) in London and the UK. It has become so famous that there are many expressions of it: "keep calm and drink tea"; "keep calm and love dogs"; "keep calm and learn English". As you can see, you can substitute(替换) the "carry on" part for anything you want, really!
But where does the original(最初的) phrase come from? Well, it comes from World War II. It was a message used for a poster(海报) created by the British government to calm people down and encourage them during the war when London was being attacked(攻击). The idea was to carry on with life as normal, as if there was no war.
Staying calm when you're in trouble is known as a very British thing to do. British people are famous for keeping a "stiff upper lip". This means your lips don't shake when you are excited or frightened: you stay calm and don't show people how you are really feeling.
Are British people still like this today? Do they still keep a "stiff upper lip"? Modern Britain is very different from how it was 60 years ago and British people probably show their emotions(情绪) more than they used to. But if "keep calm and carry on" is still so famous today, then it must be something that British people still think and care about, and something they are still famous for. So next time you are frightened or in danger, just keep calm and carry on!

Nelson 13, England | Aug. 2 10:30 a. m. I need help. My friends are allowed to go to the mall by themselves, but my parents don't let me join them. What should I do? |
Frank 14, Germany | Aug. 2 10:42 a. m. I' ve been in this situation, too. You can do a test run with your parents and learn how to be safe in the mail. Then your parents will know you are ready to go with your friends. |
Robin 15, France | Aug.2 11:35 a. m. You can ask to go with an adult. Another idea is to ask your friends to bring the things they buy at the mall to your place. And then you can share them together. |
Claire 13, England | Aug. 2 2:38 p. m. My parents don't let me go to many places on my own, either. They just don't want us to be in danger. Maybe you can get yourself dropped off and picked up. Or ask your parents to stay in the mall too. |
Olivia 16, China | Aug.3 9:03 a. m. They might have a good reason for not letting you go alone. Explain why you want to go. If they say no, ask them to take you to the mall and watch from a distance(远处). |
