     Switzerland (瑞士) is famous for its watches. However, this country didn't invent the watch. It was the

     Many years ago, an Englishman traveled to Italy. This Englishman traveled in a Carriage. On his way, he
stopped in a small town called Geneva in Switzerland.

to see the clock. He wanted to know what it was and asked the English man about it. "It is a carriage clock."
said the man. "This machine can tell the time but it isn't working now."
     The blacksmith's assistant wanted to try to repair, so the traveler handed him the clock. The assistant was
a very clever man, so it was easy for him to repair it. He even remembered how it was made. As soon as the

     So the watch-making was started in Switzerland. Today, Swiss watches are sold in countries all over the

     People use money to buy food, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need. When they
work, they usually get paid in money.

in some pans of Africa (非洲). Rice was also a kind of money used by the ancient people in some islands.

     For Chinese, it's time for dragon boat racing and Zongzi. But in South Korea, wrestling and swing play
are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name-the Dragon Boat Festival. It falls on May 5th
of the lunar calendar.
     One festival, two cultures. Does one nation have the right to call it its own? It has been reported that
South Korea will ask the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO联合国教
科文组织) to make the celebration its cultural heritage (文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries
may see the Dragon Boat Festival as a Korean creation.
     As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation (情
况). "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own
cultural heritage before China," said Zhou Heping, deputy cultural minister. The Ministry of Culture is even
thinking of making its own application (申请) to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including
the Dragon Boat event.
     "I don't like some of the food eaten at the festival, but I am shocked by South Korea's move," said Jin
Yutong, a Senior One student."We should protect the cultural heritage left by our ancestors (祖先)."
     It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278BC), who lived in the
State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by
ordinary people. He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country's future.
When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also
beat the drums to fright away fish and threw Zongzi into water. These were supposed to stop the fish from
touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to have come from the search for the poet's body.
     Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Vietnam, as well
as South Korea, the festival has mixed together with, and become part of the local culture.
     With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue (争论) about which country the festival
belongs. "Everyone can say that it came from China," said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province.
"But if the whole nation can protect the culture heritage together, they will all benefit."
1. Which of the following country is NOT mentioned about the Dragon Boat Festival spreading?
A. Japan
B. Vietnam
C. South Korea
D. the United States
2. From the passage, we can see Chinese people's attitude (态度) toward the Dragon Boat Festival is that
    _____. 
A. they do not like it
B. they want to protect it because it is their cultural heritage
C. it is a shame to protect it
D. they won't agree South Korea takes it as its own festival
3. Racing boats to celebrate the festival comes from the story that _____.
A. people searched for Qu Yuan's body by boat
B. people searched for Qu Yuan's boat
C. Qu Yuan enjoyed boating
D. Qu Yuan liked building boats
4. What can we infer (推断) from the last two paragraphs?
A. The festival is celebrated in the same way all over the world.
B. It matters a lot whose cultural heritage the festival is.
C. It is good for the Chinese people to protect the cultural heritage.
D. South Korea does not recognize that the festival is from China.
