Hello, everyone. Today I’d like to say something about the topic of festivals.

Talking of festivals, _________ public holidays or traditional festivals are popular

in China. The dates of public holidays such as the National Day ___________(庆祝)

on October 1st are often fixed, w________ traditional festivals such as the Dragon Boat

Festival f___________ on different dates each year, according to the lunar calendar.

T_________ they are different in celebration dates, the public holidays and traditional

festivals both bring harmonious atmosphere to us and the ___________(各种各样的) 

celebration activities make them become significant parts of our life. A________ these

festivals, I like the Spring Festival most, __________ is also a time for family gathering.

Families spend time together, having a big dinner and _______(看) TV shows. Children

often set off __________ for fun at night and get gift money from adults.  

The price of milk may be going up. There was not enough rain in some parts of the country last year and the bad weather may mean that a gallon (加仑) of milk will cost 41 cents more after October 1st.
California already has high milk prices and the California court does not want the price to go any higher. High milk prices will be very hard for some people. Families with many children will have to spend more money to buy milk. The poor and older people without much money will also be hurt by higher prices.
The court said that more milk from other states should be sold in California as the price of milk from other states is not as high. Some states got enough rain so their costs did not go up. People will then be able to buy the cheaper milk, meaning that unless milk producers bring their milk prices down, their milk will not sell.
The drought (干旱) around the country has meant market forces are likely to push milk prices up by as much as 41-cent a gallon by October 1st. Experts said this decision by the Californian court could reduce (减少) the effect of the price rise here.
The 41-cent increase would add to California’s already high milk prices so California must allow more milk producers from outside the state to sell their products there. This would then lead to increased supplies (供应), which would, as a result, stop milk prices from increasing.
【小题1】Who will be hurt by high milk prices?

A.Young people.B.Milk producers from outside California.
C.Rich people.D.Families with lots of children.
【小题2】What caused milk prices in California to increase?
A.Short supplies from other states.B.Being short of rain.
C.The California court.D.Children’s need for milk.
【小题3】What will California do to keep milk prices down?
A.Force milk producers to lower their price.
B.Encourage people to drink less milk.
C.Get men to produce more rain.
D.Increase the supply of milk in the state.
