Do you know anything about the World Expo? It's the third largest world event after the Olympics and
the FIFA World Cup. During the Expo, the participating (參與的) countries build pavilions (展覽館) to display
their most advanced (先進(jìn)的) technologies (科技) and cultures, with lots of exhibitions and performances.
The 2010 Shanghai Expo will be held from May 1st to October31st, 2010. 192 countries, regions and 50
international organizations will take part in it. About 70 million visitors will come to the Shanghai Expo. There
will be 200,000 volunteers working for it.
The first Expo was held in the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London in 1851. The US has hosted 14 World
Expos-more than any other country. But it's the first time for China to host the World Expo. The theme of the
Shanghai Expo is "Better city, better life". The mascot (吉祥物) of it is the confident, lovely and witty Haibao.
Its name means "treasure of the sea". Its blue color represents the water. Its hair is like a wave in the sea. It
waves hello to show the warm welcome to friends all over the world. The shape of the Shanghai Expo

three people holding hands together, symbolizing (象征) the big family of humankind.
