There are many different festivals in the world. 1. People can do many kinds of things when the festivals come.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. On that day, Chinese people often perform lion and dragon dances. And they also eat dumplings with their family members while watching Spring Gala. The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. 2. We often express our love to our mothers by giving flowers or other presents. April Fool’s Day is a funny festival, because you can play some small tricks on your friends and they can’t be angry with you. Anyway, June 1st is a dream day for all the kids around the world because it’s Children’s Day. On that day, they can get their favorite toys and have fun with their friends.

3.在西方，一些重要的节日和它也很相似。 Thanksgiving is one of them. It’s an idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with the family. The main dish of this meal is always the turkey! Many people prefer Halloween. They make themselves look scary by dressing up as ghosts or black cats. The festival might not fit old people. It’s kind of terrible! However, more people celebrate Christmas. They often eat together and give presents to each other. 4.That’s because the true spirit of Christmas is to share love and joy with people around us!

25、   Once upon a time, there lived a wise man. Everyone respected him. His son, however, was very lazy and did nothing all day.

The wise man was worried about his son's future. One day, he said to his son, "I want you to go and find some treasure. I have drawn a map to guide you." Then he handed his son a bag. Inside the bag were clothes, some food, a little money and the map.

The son set out on his long journey the next day. He had to travel across forests, rivers and mountains. Along the way, he met a lot of people. He was helped by some with food and by some with shelter. He also came across robbers who tried to rob him. He saw changing landscapes(风景) and experienced different kinds of weather.

Finally, after a long year, he reached the treasure's location. He spent two days looking and digging for the treasure, but found nothing.

Disappointed, he headed back to his home. On his way back, he experienced the same changing landscapes and seasons. Sometimes, he would stop to enjoy the beauty of nature. He also learned to hunt and make meals. He had to fix his own clothes and shelter himself. He was now able to tell time by the position of the sun and protect himself from wild animals. He met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time, he stayed and helped them in order to repay them.

26、As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a  family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.

Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have important effects on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s 1Q scores,” Lewis says, “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”

The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, which needs more attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone gets up from the table and walks around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention. “When TV is on.” Lewis says, “Dinner is a non-event.”

【1】Why are the parents with small families talk actively?

A. Their children are outgoing.

B. They love to community.

C. They get along well with each other.

D. They think it’s easy to control the order.

【2】What is the meaning of “invisible”?

A. The middle children keep away from the dinner.

B. No one likes the middle children.

C. The middle children are quiet

D. The middle children get no attention.

【3】Why are some children most likely to get up from the table during the dinner time?

A. They are full.

B. They don’t want to eat food with their families.

C. They didn’t get enough attention.

D. They want to eat alone.

【4】Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question ______.

A. why TV is important in family life

B. why parents should keep good order

C. why children in small families seem to be quieter

D. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life

【5】Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?

A. It is important to have the right food for children.

B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.

C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.

D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner

27、TV binge-watching(追剧) will lead to loneliness and sadness, a study has shown. Those who spend hours on their favorite TV series really are likely to be sad, according to the findings.

US scientists at the University of Texas, Austin, asked 316 young people aged 18 to 29 how often to binged in TV and if they felt lonely or sad. They found that the more lonely or unhappy the people were, the more likely they were to binge-watch in order to avoid this kind of bad feeling. The results, presented at the International Communication Association’s meeting, also showed that people without the ability to control themselves will become binge-watchers.

Study leader Yoon Hi Sung said, “Even though some people think that binge-watching is harmless, findings from our study suggest that binge-watching should no longer be viewed this way.” Physical problems such as fat problem and other health problems have business with binge-watching and people need to pay close attention. When binge-watching becomes serious, binge-watchers may start to neglect their work and their relationships with others. Even though people know they should not, they have difficulty refusing the wish to watch TV.

Young people need to stop and have enough time to breathe, work and make friends in real life. Our best friends should be the ones we see every so often for years.

【1】What problems will TV binge-watching lead to?

A．Hunger and sadness.

B．Loneliness and hunger.

A．People need to pay close attention to binge-watching.

B．Binge-watching is harmless according to the study.

C．Young people aged 18 to 29 often feel lonely or sad.

D．The search can help binge-watchers with their work.

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．US scientists surveyed 316 young people aged 18 to 29.

B．People may lose their work because of binge-watching.

C．People without the ability to control themselves will become binge-watchers.

D．Serious binge-watchers have difficulty refusing the wish to watch TV.
