PART B Macro-Listening Passage I Boxing Day Tapescript In the English-speaking world, the day after Christmas Day has a special name.We call it Boxing Day.This makes it sound like a day on which everyone has a fight, but the name has nothing to do with the sport of boxing.It derives from the custom in former times of presenting servants and tradesmen with a Christmas box or gift.Here in Britain we still talk about giving the milkman or newspaper-delivery boy a Christmas box, when we mean a sum of money or present.The expression dates from the time when the money would have been put into an actual box.Boxing Day in modern times is a quiet day.Most people are recovering from the large meals they ate the day before.The children have new toys to keep them happy, and the adults are content to watch them play.Perhaps it would be a good idea if Boxing Day actually was made to honor that sport.Then, on other days, we could celebrate Football Day, Cricket Day, Hockey Day, and so on.There are probably enough different sports to allow each day of the year to have one to itself.Passage 2
United Nations Day
Tapescript October 24 — the UN birthday — is celebrated as United Nations Day.It is a day that belongs to everyone, and it is celebrated in most countries of the world.Some countries celebrate it for a week instead of a day.Every year the President of the United States, in a special announcement, asks Americans to remember United Nations Day.In many parts of the world, schools plan programs for this day.Boys and girls in some communities decorate a United Nations tree, or plant a garden, or conduct a model session of the General Assembly or Security Council.In other communities, young people put on plays about the United Nations.Some libraries exhibit children's art from around the world.Schools celebrate with the songs and dances of other countries， or give parties where foods of other countries are served.Always the purpose of these celebrations is to help everyone understand the United Nations and why it is important.The United Nations encourages people to learn about other lands and their customs.In this way people can gain a better understanding and appreciation of peoples all over the world.

Passage 1
Doll's Day
Tapescript
The third of March is an exciting day for little Japanese girls.They know it as Doll's Day.On that day, any household which has a daughter aged between three and seven decorates the house with traditional dolls.They represent the royal family and members of the court.They are extremely delicate and finely dressed.The dolls may have been in the family for several generations, or-they may have been newly presented to the daughter of the house, usually by the grandparents.The little girls do not merely look at the dolls displayed in the houses.They themselves are dressed in elaborate kimonos, again of traditional design.Then their parents accompany them to the sacred shrines.After they come back home, special rice cakes are eaten.Doll's Day in Japan is for the girls, but the boys have their own turn later.Their festival occurs on May 5th, and this time the houses are decorated with armour, emphasizing: a traditional male role.Passage 2
Australia Day
Tapescript
The 26th of January is a national holiday in Australia.It is called simply Australia Day.The official purpose of the holiday is to commemorate the founding of the first settlement.That occurred in the year 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip first raised the British flag in Sydney Cove.In Sydney itself a flag-raising ceremony takes place.Throughout the country there are also parades and official speeches.Since January is a summer month in Australia something which seems rather strange to Europeans many people take advantage of the holiday and flock to the beaches.Australia is a continent in itself, and is nearly as large as the U.S.A.It has a tiny population, however, compared with the densely populated European countries.The standard of living in the country is high and there is little doubt that Australians feel justifiably proud when they celebrate their National Day.
