19．RED lanterns adorn（点缀） the aisles of a small supermarket．There are stacks of red envelopes on sale，for stuffing cash in and handing out as gifts．A sign offers seasonal discounts．Such festive trappings are quite common in China in the build-up to the lunar New Year，which this year starts on January 28th．But this is Yangon，the capital of Myanmar，where Han Chinese are a mere 2.5% of the country's population．They are a sign that Chinese New Year is becoming a global holiday．Several countries in Asia celebrate the lunar New Year in their own way．But dragon and lion dances in Chinatowns the world over have helped to make China's the most famous．These days growing numbers of people who are not of Chinese descent are joining in．In Tokyo window cleaners dress up as the animals of the Chinese zodiac（十二生肖）．Barcelona's Chinese parade includes dracs （a Catalan species of dragon）．America，Canada and New Zealand have issued commemorative stamps for the year of the chicken．Last year New York City made the lunar New Year a school holiday for the first time．
The spread of the spring festival，as China calls it，is partly due to recent emigration from China：9.5million Chinese people have moved abroad since 1978，many of them far richer than earlier waves of migrants．It also reflects the wealth and globe-trotting ambitions of China's new middle class：festivities in other countries are partly aimed at the 6million Chinese who are expected to spend their weeklong holiday abroad this year．International brands are trying to lure these big spenders with chicken-themed items．
Conscious of China's growing economic and political clout，foreign leaders have taken to noting the occasion．Britain's Prime Minister，Theresa May，has given a video address，a tradition started in 2014by her predecessor，David Cameron．Last year the country's royal family tweeted a picture of Queen Elizabeth dotting the eye of a Chinese lion-dancer's costume．Also in 2016，Venezuela's culture minister admitted that his country was celebrating Chinese new year for the first time-with six weeks of festivities-in a bid to improve economic ties with China．It is rumored that this year's World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year．
China also sponsors related events，such as a display this year of martial arts in Cyprus and a traditional Chinese temple-fair in Harare，Zimbabwe．It may give Chinese officials satisfaction to see foreigners enjoy such festivities．They lament the growing enthusiasm among Chinese for Western celebrations such as Christmas-in December cities across China are bedecked with Santas and snowflake decorations．Chinese New Year is a welcome chance to reverse the cultural flow．
66．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Many countries in Asia are similar to each other in celebrating the Chinese lunar New Year．
B．This year's World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year．

D．Partly owing to recent emigration from China，the Chinese spring festival could be spread worldwide．

68．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in Para 3？A
A．hook B．attack C．interfere D．exclude
69．The sentence"China hopes the festival will boost its cultural'soft power'abroad．"should be put at the beginning of ParagraphD．
A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five
70．Why are Chinese officials please to see foreigners enjoy Chinese new year festivities？C

14．If you are a Wet Blanket （a person who doesn't enjoy himself/herself and thus prevents others from enjoying themselves） when it comes to nature and your kid，you are most likely a caring，protective parent who wants to keep your child safe and sound．You may be so determined to protect your kid from dirt，sunburn，or scratches （划伤） that you try to avoid the outdoors．Or you may just find muddy clothes and sandy toes require too much time to wash．Perhaps you hate to get dirty yourself．The natural world may just make you nervous and you might worry those bugs （虫子） and hats will suck you dry．It may be that you just never got the chance to be outdoors when you were a kid and now know nothing about what to do with your kid．
While it is every care-giver's job to protect their kid，your worries may cause your child to grow up as a Wet Blanket as well．If you prefer the indoors yourself，you may be keeping your kid from outdoor experiences without even realizing it．Your attitudes about nature have a huge influence on how comfortable your kid feels outside．You may need to go against your own nature and"open the door to get your kid outside!"
You may already realize the value in helping kids spend time outside in nature and know that playing in nature settings helps children grow up mentally．Perhaps you already introduce your child to nature through books，museums，and zoos．Maybe you just need some ideas of what to do with kids outside．Try some simple nature activities with your kid，or sign up for nature programs to develop your skills．While it may be a challenge for you to overcome your own nervousness about nature，you can raise a child who is happy and confident in the natural world．
One of the easiest ways you can get your kid outside is to become a Door Opener．Even if you don't enjoy playing on the mud，you can lake breath and let loose!Undirected time to explore nature is an important part of raising a caring kid．This might be free time in the backyard，allowing him to wander ahead on a walk or simply providing him with materials for a project．Putting aside your own nervousness and providing"in-the-wings"support will enrich your child's journey as a nature lover!Belt out a song （引吭高歌），build a snowman，watch the clouds，or plant a seed with your child．Help your child connect his creative side with nature．
