       As Christmas approaches, towns and cities around the UK are preparing for a very British celebration．

       The switching on of a town' s Christmas lights has become an increasingly competitive event over the years, with some councils （会议） spending lots of money to attract A-list famous persons to do the honors．

       The American singer Mariah Carey flew to London in November to switch on the lights at one of the city's biggest shopping centers, while Jim Carrey lighted Oxford Street and promoted his new film at the same time．

       Traffic in the historic English city of Bath was brought to a halt as thousands of fans crowded to see the Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage conducted the switching-on ceremony．

       Some celebrations do not go according to the plan, as was seen in Birmingham when dozens of people were injured as the famous British boy band JLS took the stage．

       Not all towns can afford to bring in an internationally-known star, so many switchon ceremonies are handled by ex-TV talent show competitors．

       Pantomime （圣诞童话剧） stars are also much in demand at this time of year, as they aim to promote their Christmas shows．

       But if your council hasn't got the budget to bring in a famous face, what are the cheaper alternatives?

       A town in the west of England chose to let the public decide by giving their suggestions online．The result: a 21-year-old DIY store worker was given the honor．

       "I was amazed and delighted to be asked," said Scott Parker, "it's just a special gift and not something I'd, ever thought about before．"

1．According to the passage, what kind of special celebration can you see at Christmas in UK?

       A．People meeting their favorite stars and getting special gifts．

       B．Well-known persons invited to make a performance in public．

       C．A-list persons lighting Oxford Street and promoting their films．

       D．Switching-on ceremonies that are conducted by honored persons．

2．The underlined word "halt" in Paragraph 4 probably means "______" ．

       A．start  B．stop               C．ban        D．run

3．Which of the followings can be learned from the passage?

       A．Mariah Carey is invited to Bath to switch on the lights．

       B．Pantomime stars rarely appear at events like this．

       C．Not all those who switch on the Christmas lights can make lots of money．

       D．Average persons can not get a chance to switch on the Christmas lights．

4．The following are famous persons EXCEPT _____．

       A．Scott Parker      B．Mariah Carey 

       C．Nicolas Cage        D．Jim Carrey

      Someone asked me, “ what do you think of youth?” I showed him

 a can of COKE. See this?

      “C” means “courage”. There’s a seed in everyone’s heart. As long as you really keep watering it, it will grow and harvest. Courage gives us the power to follow our dreams. Believe in yourself and be prepared for anything in the future.

      “O” stands for “optimism(乐观)”. When in trouble, some

people feel disappointed but some people still keep their dreams. Be sure to choose the latter. Life is very much like a mirror. If you smile on it, it smiles back on you. If you frown, you will get a similar look in return. Throw away the sadness in your hear while filling it with brightness and hope.

        “K” can be understood as “knowledge”. In order to keep up with the times, we should use knowledge to enrich ourselves. Knowledge is the food of thought and, as long as it is put in our brain, we will grow wiser.

      “E” is short for “enthusiasm(热情)”. Enthusiasm is the sign of youth. We use colorful and paint-brushes in our hands to create the pictures of youth on our own. Let the sky and sea know we’re young. Let our enthusiasm wherever we go.

       Drink a can of COKE. You will find your youth as refreshing (有活力的) as a can of coke. Enjoy and value your youth.

1. In the passage, the word “COKE” refers to _______

   A. a kind of drink young people enjoy

   B. what young people should have

   C. basic abilities young people need

   D. young people’s confidence and pride
