【题目】四、阅读表达阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(No more than seven words)

China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day(Longtaitou) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming.

The dragon is important for Chinese people. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs.

On the day in ancient times, people put ashes in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest(收成) in autumn.

Also, people eat special foods that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker(细须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.

Today, many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It is said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the uncles of the family—mainly mother's brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

【题目】 As the proverb says, “Your tongue has the power of life and death.” This means that your words have power to finally cause things to happen, even life or death.

We may all experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. A child is blamed ( 责备 ) by teachers or parents, and after that, he might probably think of himself as a bad child. Most kids have that experience. They say it is important to praise children four times for each negative ( 负面的 ) word. Blaming will make things worse, while positive words are helpful especially when being in trouble or in need. When we fail the exam, encouraging words from our teachers or parents make us work harder at our lessons. Encouraging words can go quite a long way. They lift people up. For example, encouraging words to someone who is sad can help them make it through the day. Words can have a powerful effect on your brain. And it will in turn ( 相应地 ) have a great influence on your action.

Everything you do depends on what you choose to do. It’s not your parents, your past relationships or your job, but you and only you that are responsible for every goal you set. If you have dreams in life, write them down and speak them out. Your words are likely to bring you out something amazing.

bad British consider fun hope pleasure power they total understand we win

Is it true that we British people have a different sense of humor from people in other countries? Let’s have a look at what we laugh at in 【1】.

To us British people, 【2】 and important people often cause laughter. It’s not just politicians (政客) who make us laugh, but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes 【3】 too seriously.

We laugh at the power, but also, pitifully, at anyone who is treated 【4】. We know they cannot win, but if they do win sometimes, it’s even 【5】. Our clowns (小丑) are often silly people doing silly things, while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things-and 【6】 at last.

The fact that we laugh when other people might feel 【7】 is one of the strangest things to learn about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). After some terrible experience, we might say, “Not very 【8】.” And we might say in the middle of a typhoon, “It’s a bit windy today.” Or “There is a tiny problem,” when something has gone 【9】 wrong. We don’t like to express strong feelings, but just “keep calm and carry on”.

Another things that can make it difficult 【10】 British humor is that we don’t always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. We often keep a straight face or use an unsmiling expression when we’re making a joke.

Do you think the British sense of humor is special?

【题目】阅读下面的短文，根据要求完成文后各小题。

As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream true?

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrews tells us that making our dreams true is life’s biggest challenge (挑战).

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream.

There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.

You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

【1】Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

【2】Find out the sentences from the passage that stand for “the biggest difficulty comes from yourself”.

【3】What should you do if you want to make your dream come true? (至少两条)

【4】What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

【5】Give a proper title to the passage.
