1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

It’s said that after working and studying for a long time, having some dessert can help us forget tiredness. Are you a dessert lover? What’s your favorite dessert? Have you ever heard of a traditional dessert called Fried Chop Rice Cake(驴打滚)?

The dessert is also named Lü Da Gun in Chinese. And it is one of the most popular snacks in Beijing. Its name is very interesting, isn’t it? But it has nothing to do with donkeys(驴). 1.It is a kind of handmade cake that tastes sweet and delicious. Why do Chinese people call it Lü Da Gun?

Here is a story about it. It’s believed that in the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi(慈禧太后) was tired of having the same kind of food every day. So, one day, a chef(厨师) was called to the palace. Cixi told her needs to the chef and ordered him to cook something different. 2.However, it’s too difficult for the chef to meet these needs. After thinking carefully, he made a new kind of cake by using rice powder and red bean paste(糯米粉和豆沙馅).

However, a boy came to the kitchen. Before the chef warned him, the boy had dropped the cake into soybean powder(黄豆面) by accident. 3.厨师很担心因为要做一个新的蛋糕太迟了。He had no choice but to take the cake to Empress Dowager Cixi nervously.

4.令他惊讶的是，慈禧非常喜欢他的糕点。 His bad luck unexpectedly turned into good things. She asked the chef what the name of the cake was. The chef had thought about that. Suddenly, he thought of the name of the little boy — “Xiao Lür’. So he said that the cake’s name was Lü Da Gun.

Since then, Lü Da Gun has won the hearts of foodies(美食家) for its special taste and funny name. 5.Many visitors see it as a must-eat food when traveling to Beijing. Would you like to try it?

"Why shall I go to him? But that would be foolish!"

"Oh. no. it wouldn't." answered Jack. "Who cut that man's hair? Just think it over. He couldn't cut it himself, could he? Another of the barbers cut it. So you know he can't be the worst barber.”

26、Your handshake is a part of your first impression (印象). Do you want your handshake to say good things about you? Here are some ways to help you learn how to shake hands correctly.

Know who to start. The person in a higher position or who is older should be the first one to reach out a hand. For example, if you are interviewed for a job, the interviewer should be the one to take the lead.

Don’t offer an unannounced handshake. If you offer someone your hand when they aren’t paying attention, they may not shake hands with you. It doesn’t mean the person doesn’t want to shake your hand. So start with a greeting to let others know that you’re here.

The handshake often lasts about 2 to 5 seconds. Most people don’t spend more time shaking hands. If the other person holds your hand for more than five seconds, politely withdraw (撤回) your hand.

Don’t show a sweaty (出汗的) hand. If you hand someone a sweaty hand, you may make them uncomfortable. Before shaking their hand, dry your own hand. If you’re holding a drink, hold it in your left hand so that it won’t make your right hand wet or sweaty because we often use our right hand to shake hands with others.

Shake hands in an up-and-down direction. Don’t go back and forward or side to side. Don’t swing the other person’s hand more than three times. It may make the other person uncomfortable.

【1】What should you do before shaking hands with others?

A．Hit them on the back.

B．Greet them politely to get their attention.

C．Ask them to wash their hands first.

D．Tell them how to shake hands.

【2】The underlined word “it” refers to ________.

Kids gather around as Mom examines the snake．“It’s OK to touch，”she says．

Later，Ms．Steele tells us to draw our favorite part of the hike．After a while，I look around quickly．Everyone’s picture is of Mom and me with the snake．

As we hike back to the bus，I squeeze Mom’s hand．“I’m glad I didn’t tell you my don’t-catch-snakes rule．”She smiles．But soon，she’s whistling her hiking songs again！

28、   As we all know, life is f【1】 of dreams and having a good dream is of great importance in our daily life. Without a good dream, people can’t make progress(进步); without a good dream, countries can’t d【2】; without a good dream, the world can’t become so beautiful! And I believe that everyone, the old or the y【3】, the poor or the rich, does have a good dream! After all, dreaming is certainly a part of our life, and wishing for good things, h【4】, costs nothing!

What’s more, it is important to fly our dreams, e【5】 for those who are Grade9 students. It is high time for them to fly their dreams. If they can’t let their dreams fly, the dream would just die!

Therefore, it is no wonder that so m【6】 people have a dream since their childhood. With a nice dream, China held the 29th Olympic Games successfully in 2008; with a nice dream, Hong Kong r【7】 to the motherland peacefully in 1997; with a nice dream, I can stand on this stage to take part in the final English speech competition. And in order to a【8】 success, I must do the best!

So my good friends, if you want to r【9】 your dream, please do not be a【10】 to face the difficulties. You must keep going forward bravely! Just fly your dream high above the sky!
