21、The Chinese New Year is all about starting things anew. So, in the week leading up to the festival, people do a thorough cleaning of their home to get rid of bad luck. This should all be done before New Year’s Day though, as showering is not allowed on the day! At the same time, it is also not allowed to sweep or throw out garbage until the 5th day of the festival. This is so people don’t wash out the good luck! There are also a few no-no’s during the Chinese New Year, which everyone should avoid doing for the15 days. It is taboos to get a haircut, argue, swear, say unlucky words, use scissors or knives and break things.

The New Year’s Eve meal is still the most important of the year for Chinese families, and throughout the 15 days, it is common to go to different relatives’ houses to share food. These feasts are abundant and delicious, with a variety of traditional Chinese food and special wine.

There are different practices and celebrations on each of the festival’s 15 days. For example, it is believed that the Gods of Wealth come down on the 5th day of the New Year, so people pray to them and set off firecrackers in their honor. The 15th and final day of the New Year festival is known as the Festival of Lanterns, so people hang paper lanterns on the streets and their homes, and carry them on parades.

There are also different symbols used during the Chinese New Year, each one with its own meaning: It is common for Red Envelopes to be filled with money and given to children or adults with no job. Usually, these red envelopes are gifted by established married couples to their single friends, or from elders to the children . Their purpose is to transfer (转移) the fortune and luck from the givers to the gifted.

During the festivities, there are dancing dragon performances, as the creature is believed to bring good luck, good fortune, and prosperity (繁荣). Flowers, tangerines, and oranges are displayed as a sign of good luck and wealth. Decorations are Red, made of paper and shaped like a diamond (钻石), and usually have writings on them referring to luck and prosperity.

22、   Getting married can be one of the happiest moments in a person's life. Across the globe, weddings are very important events. Let's look at some interesting wedding customs from different countries.

For African Americans, it is a tradition for the married couple to jump over a broom covered with flowers. This represents the beginning of family life. It is interesting to note that African slaves who were brought to the USA started this tradition. African-American couples were not allowed to have a legal marriage, so instead they had a ceremony (仪式) where the bride (新娘) and groom (新郎) jumped over a broom 'into marriage'. Today, some African-American weddings still include the old tradition of 'jumping the broom'.

Making jokes about the bride and groom is a wedding tradition in both France and Germany. In France, this includes making loud noises with pots; in Germany, wedding guests break dishes. Weddings in Germany often last three days. On Thursday, there is a simple ceremony at a government office noting the official marriage of the couple. Then the couple will have a dinner with family and close friends. On Friday there is a party. This is when guests break dishes to represent the start of a new life. Then on Saturday, there is a ceremony in a church, followed by another party when the bride and groom celebrate the wedding with friends and relatives again.

In Greece, couples tie a doll to their wedding car if they want to have a daughter, or a toy bear if they want to have a son.

The USA also has some interesting wedding customs. The bride usually carries flowers during the wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, the single women get together and the bride throws the flowers. The woman who catches the flowers is supposed to be the next person to get married.

In England, it is a tradition for little girls to throw flowers on the ground on the way to the wedding ceremony. The bride and groom walk on the flowers. This represents the hope that the couple will follow the path that leads to a happy life.

23、Would you want a doctor who got high marks in medical school just for trying hard? Apparently many college students would have no problem with that. They believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class.

The researchers asked more than 800 undergraduates if they agreed or disagreed with some statements. For example: "If I have completed most of the reading for a class, I deserve a B in that course." And: "A professor should not be annoyed with me if I receive an important call during class."

Just 16 percent thought it was OK to take that phone call. But 66 percent agreed that a professor should consider effort and not just the quality of a student's work when deciding grades. And 40 percent thought they should get a B, the second highest mark, just because they did most of the reading for class.

Some experts are not surprised that students often see no difference between effort and results. Social critics like to say that in children's activities these days everyone gets an award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected.

Yet competition to get into the best colleges is fiercer than ever. Students may worry that low grades will keep them out of graduate school or a good job.

And there may be another explanation: pressure from parents to get a good return on the family's investment. These days, college can cost more than a house.

A former teaching assistant recently wrote to the New York Times about his experience with grade expectations. He would try to explain it this way when students asked for a top grade just for studying hard in chemistry class:

What if a baseball player came to spring training and worked harder than all the others, but still could not play well? Would the team accept him anyway, just because he tried so hard?

The students would say no. But most of them would still ask for an A.

【1】What does the passage mainly discuss?

A．Whether students deserve high marks just for trying hard.

B．Whether students are allowed to answer calls in class.

C．How students can get a good grade in the course.

D．Why students put a lot of efforts in their studies.

【2】According to the research, most of the students _______.

A. thought it was all right to answer the call during class.

B. thought they did most of the work for class and should get a B.

C. objected to deciding grades only by the quality of a student’s work.

D. agreed that they should be given top grades because of their hard work.

【3】Which of the following opinions do social critics agree to about children’s activities?

A．Those who are active in the activities can get an award.

B．Only by playing an important role in the activities can you get an award.

C．Whoever takes part in the activities can get an award.

D．An award is prepared for anyone who performs best in the activities.

【4】From the sixth paragraph we can learn that _____.

A．it costs much more to build a college than to buy a house.

B．the costs of studying at college are much more than staying at home.

C．the costs of sending a child to college are much more than buying a house.

D．it is difficult for parents to send a child to college.

24、Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle’s husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard from again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.

Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and, without so much as a note or a good-bye, close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them. Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home — the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.

To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.

Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “It’s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.”

【1】Eileen Doyle reacted that way after her husband’s leaving, because she__________.

A. failed to hear from him for a long time

B. had no idea what was wrong with their family life

C. blamed herself for something wrong she did

D. wondered why her husband took up all their children

【2】According to the passage, those people left their families behind for the following reasons except_________.

A. they couldn’t bear their spouse (配偶)

B. they were afraid of the burden of debts

C. they wanted to forget the past completely

D. they wanted to start a new life somewhere else

【3】 The man or woman left behind with an unfinished marriage usually ________.

A. admits their responsibility for the situation

B. feels embarrassed and useless

C. will have no legal marriage life for seven years

D. wishes the person who has left were dead

【4】Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse because ________.

A. their spouse would feel greatly relieved

B. their spouse would feel no pain during the death

C. their spouse’s death would contribute to them starting a fresh life

D. their spouse’s death would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure

【5】What’s the author’s attitude towards the departures of this kind?

A. Objective.  B. Supportive.

C. Negative.  D. Positive.

25、Last year my children gifted me a coffee plunger (法式按压咖啡壶). I love to start the day with a strong black coffee and couldn’t_________to use it.

I started to leave extra time to do even the most_________tasks.

Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers. We sat on the steps, each of us with a cup of coffee in our hands, __________ each other’s stories. It was one of the warmest things about living in a busy city. It was as if the world around us __________to a pace we could both handle.
