22、   In China, it’s a tradition for people to wait until the second day in the second month of the lunar (阴历的) year to cut their hair because people believe getting a hair cut on this day will bring them good luck. And traditional stories say that doing this in the first lunar month will cause your mother’s brothers to die.

Although it’s not true, some people still believe it. So, after a month’s wait, people usually flock to cut their hair on Dragon Head-Raising Day (龙抬头) ——the second day of the second lunar month.

Dragon Head-Raising Day falls on Feb 24 this year. It is an important traditional Chinese holiday. Ancient people believed that after this day, there would be more rainy days because the rain-bringing Dragon King would wake up from his winter sleep. So that day is the start of spring farming. Then goes a well-known saying, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”

Besides cutting their hair, there are also other ways to celebrate this holiday. For example, people eat food with “dragon names”. People call noodles dragon’s beard (龙须). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (龙耳) and spring rolls (春卷) are dragon’s scales (龙鳞). Sewing (缝补) is something that you can’t do, because the needles (针) might bring bad luck by hurting the dragon’s eyes.

【1】People don’t cut their hair during the first lunar month because _____.

A.it would make the Dragon King angry

B.it would cause their mothers’ brothers to die

C.it would bring them bad luck

【2】The underlined word “flock” probably means _____.

A.gather B.forget C.refuse

【3】_____ is the start of spring farming.

A.February 24th B.February 2

C.The second day in the second month of the lunar year

【4】Which of the following is NOT a way to celebrate Dragon-Head Raising Day?

A.Cutting hair. B.Sewing. C.Eating dumplings.

【5】Which of the following is true about Dragon-Head Raising Day?

A.People eat dragons to celebrate the holiday.

B.The celebration has something to do with stories about the dragon.

C.People visit their uncles during the holiday.

23、Dear Zhang Hua,

Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia. I’ve been in Thailand for a few days with my parents. We are here for a holiday.

Now we are staying in Bangkok（曼谷）. It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry（珠宝）and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace; my father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.

Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy（辛辣的）for me. You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok. However, I don’t eat it. You know, I’d like to try new things when I travel.

The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it’s hot again.

Yours,

Mary

24、People are always interested in what the future will look like. The answers are quite different and some further discussions about the future predictions are here.

How can we know what the future will look like?

To understand the future, you must know the past. What took us to today and what changed along the way?

And then we need to know: What decisions do we need to make today? What decisions will give the best result in the future? If we have good answers to all these questions, we can live better.
