7．Around the world there are some festivals that for some of us may sound bizarre．
In England they celebrate the rolling cheese race，which occurs every year during the last Monday in May．This festival's characteristic is a contest where an official rolls cheese down a steep hill and festival-goers go chasing after it．The winner is the first one to reach and catch the cheese．
Another festival celebrated in England is the world championship of grimaces （鬼脸）．It is a celebration that dates back to 1297 and is celebrated during the month of September．The task is to perform the best grimace using anything you can to win．
The worldwide championship of wife lifting is celebrated in Finland．The game is based on Viking traditions where a man should carry away his neighbor's wife．According to the rules，any woman above 17 is considered as a wife，so if you are within this age，take care while visiting this country during the month of July．
Many of you have watched Pirates of the Caribbean and have known something about pirates．The 19^th of September has been declared worldwide as the day to talk like a pirate．Plenty of people have celebrated it thanks to the publicity （宣传） on the Internet．
First staged in 1998，the Boryeong Mud Festival is an attraction that pulls more than a million visitors to the South Korean City．As you all know，the town is said to be rich in minerals，so there is no shortage of mud．Mud is trucked onto Daecheon Beach for tourists and locals to enjoy the festival to their best．
The Monkey Buffet Festival is held in Thailand to develop tourism．It's an unusual feast held for about 600 monkeys．The Monkey Buffet Festival is held in honor of the Hindu gods Ram and Hanuman and involves 3，000 kilograms of vegetables and fruits being laid out for monkeys to stuff themselves．

4．Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50years．But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did？
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia（怀旧的）．I have four brothers and sisters，and my memories are all about being with them，playing board games on the living room floor，or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children，racing up and down on our bikes，or exploring the nearby woods．My parents scarcely appear in these memories，except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure．
These days，in the UK at least，the nature of childhood has changed dramatically．Firstly，families are smaller，and there are far more only children．It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family，or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child．As a result，today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone．Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home，inside．More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers，so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves．
Finally，the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different．Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood．The irony（令人啼笑皆非的事情） is that so many ways of playing games are called"interactive"．The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today．
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had？I personally believe that they do，but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same．
25．What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph？C
A．To show who the passage is written for．
B．To gather people's opinions on childhood．
C．To get people's attention and lead in the topic．
D．To compare the childhood lives of two generations．
26．Which is NOT a reason for the changes？B
A．Families are smaller today．
B．It's too dangerous to play outside．
C．Toys can be played by children alone at home．
D．Parents worried too much about their children．
27．What has the writer focused on in the fourth paragraph？C
A．Young people today shouldn't play electronic games．
B．Computer and video games have replaced the board games．
C．Some games that young people play today aren't really good．
D．Board games are much more interesting than computer games．
28．The writer's attitude towards the childhood changing isB．
A．approvingB．objectiveC．unconcernedD．optimistic．
