It’s not Christmas Day yet. But wherever I go on the streets, I see shops selling Christmas trees and all kinds of beautiful decorations, waiters wearing Christmas hats; I hear children singing Christmas songs on broadcast; I get messages of Christmas’s best wishes from friends.

I just got quite confused again, since when have Chinese begun celebrating Christmas Day? What do these people celebrate it for, the birth of Chris? But we all know that most of Chinese are not Christians, they don’t even know the origin of Christmas Day, and they celebrate it for no reason.

I don’t celebrate Christmas Day or any other western holidays since I’m not a Christian and nor am I a westerner. I don’t know what Christmas really means. Anyway I can’t get reasonable answers from my friends. Some of them think they would like to just take this chance to enjoy themselves regardless of the meaning of the festival. Some of them think I’m an old-fashioned girl, a bigot who doesn’t appreciate the spirit of Chinese cultural tolerance(宽容) and understanding of other cultures. Well, if it is about cultural tolerance, why don’t we ever celebrate the month of Muharram, or festivals of colours in India, or Fiestas Patrias in Mexico?

I really appreciate cultural exchanges and communications with all nations, but I don’t think this is what it’s about. People are celebrating more and more western festivals while ignoring our traditional ones.

Is it part of globalization(全球化)？ Do people in other non-western countries also celebrate Christmas?

1. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer _________.

A. is an old-fashioned girl

B. doesn’t like festivals at all

C. prefers western festivals to Chinese festivals

D. prefers Chinese festivals to western festivals

2.According to the writer, many Chinese people celebrate Christmas _________.

A. for no reason

B. for the birth of Chris

C. because most of them are Christians

D. because they don’t like Chinese festivals

3.The underlined word “bigot” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A. a very brave person

B. a very stubborn person

C. a very careful person

D. a very popular person

4. We can learn from the passage that _________.

A. more and more Chinese people celebrate western festivals now

B. Chinese people pay enough attention to our own festivals

C. no Christmas celebration means one lacks cultural tolerance

D. the writer doesn’t like cultural exchanges and communications with other countries

In Vietnam, Tet-Trung-Thu, or the Mid-Autumn Festival, is one of the most popular family holidays. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.

Vietnamese families plan their activities around their children on this special day. In a Vietnamese folk story, parents were working so hard to prepare for the harvest that they left the children playing by themselves. To make up for that time, the parents would use the Mid-Autumn Festival as a chance to show their love and thanks for their children.

As a result, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Children’s Festival. In the United States, this tradition continues in many Vietnamese-American families. Activities are often centered on children and education. Parents buy lanterns for their children so that they can take part in a candle and lantern parade at dawn. Lanterns mean brightness, while the parade means success in school. Vietnamese markets sell a variety of lanterns, but the most popular children’s lantern is the star lantern. Other children’s activities include arts and crafts in which children make face masks and lanterns. Children also perform traditional Vietnamese dances for adults and take part in contests for prizes. Unicorn (麒麟) dancers are also very popular.

Like Chinese people, Vietnamese parents tell their children folk stories and serve moon cakes and other special treats under the bright moon. A favorite folk story is about a carp (鲤鱼) that wanted to become a dragon. The carp worked and worked and finally changed itself into a dragon. Parents use this story to encourage their children to work hard so that they can become whatever they want to be.

1.We can learn from the passage that Tet-Trung-Thu is celebrated ________.

A. in China and other Asian countries

B. by Vietnamese-American families

C. all over the world except Vietnam

D. across the United States

2.In both Vietnam and China, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, people would ______.

A. eat moon cakes B. buy lanterns for children

3.What is the focus of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam?

A. Family get-togethers.

B. Children and education.

C. Relaxation and fun in the middle of the year.

D. Parents having more time with their children.

4.The parents tell their children folk stories because ______.

A. children like listening to them in the evening

B. they want to show their love for their children

Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel(钢铁) monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the earth.

You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.

At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（漏的），which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It is not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.

Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.

Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.

With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.

1.In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to describe________.

A. huge buildings B. high mountains

C. big factories D. characters in fairy stories

2.From the fifth paragraph, we can know that ________.

A. protecting the environment begins with small chores

B. protecting the environment should start from childhood.

C. wonderful life comes from environmental protection

D. protecting the environment benefits the country and the people

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.

B. Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.

C. To protect the environment may help you save some money.

D. Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.

4.The passage is mainly about_____________.

A. the use of garbage dustbins

B. how to save water and electricity

C. how to save the environment

D. our current environmental problems

A mother has lost parts of both of her legs after she saved the lives of her two children by lying on top of them as a deadly tornado swept through their home. Stephanie Decker, 36, lost one leg above the knee and the other above the ankle, yet her son and daughter escaped without a single scratch after the tornado destroyed their Henryville, Indiana home.

Henryville was nearly entirely destroyed by a series of tornadoes that hit the South and Midwest, killing 39 and leaving thousands homeless. But while the Decker family lost their dream home to the severe weather, they are celebrating their safety. Mrs. Decker is now in a stable condition; her husband said, “What I told her was, ‘you are alive and you get to see your kids grow up.’ ” Joe Decker told the reporters.

Mr. Decker said that he had sent a text message to his wife from his workplace to tell her a tornado was heading for their three-story home. She rushed their eight-year-old son Dominic and five-year-old daughter Reese into the basement, where she tried her best to protect them from the storm.

Mrs. Decker typed out what had happened by using an iPad in the hospital. She saw part of the house collapse（坍塌）on her and pulled her daughter out of the way. She doesn’t remember anything after that.

The home, which was partly built by Mr. Decker and his wife’s father, is now completely destroyed, with a bathtub 200 feet away in a filed, the Courier Journal reported. The house took about nine mouths to build and four seconds to fall, Mr. Decker added.

CEO Carl J. Tyler praised the Deckers who lost everything and said that the company has set up a trust fund to help pay their medical bills and the losses they suffered. He added, “They are some of the hardest working, giving people you could ever want to meet.”

1.The Deckers’ attitude towards their suffering from the tornado is .

A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. angry D. unsure

2.When the tornado was about to hit their home, Mr. Decker was .

A. setting out to go back home

B. working by using an iPad

C. sending text messages to other workers

D. reminding his wife about the tornado

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Mrs. Decker’s brave deed is thought highly of.

B. Mrs. Decker was asked to apply for a trust fund.

C. The Deckers are considered to be the hardest workers.

D. The Deckers are under great pressure to pay medical bills.
