21、March, April and May are months full of festivals and events all over the world. Here are four wonderful festivals around the world that happen in spring. If you want to know more about them, please click here or visit http://www.buddhanet.net/
SongKran----Thailand
Dates: 13th-15th, April
In Thailand, people celebrate a festival called SongKran, when people head out to the streets with water guns to spray everyone who walks past.
Naghol----Vanuatu
Dates: Every Saturday from April to May
Every year, villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams, an important part in the people's diet in Vanuatu. The festival is most famous for its "land diving ceremony". During the ceremony men and boys dive to the ground from high wooden towers with only two thin vines(藤) attached to their ankles.
Cherry Blossom Viewing----Japan
Dates: The cherry blossom season is different from year to year depending on the weather forecast.
The festival is well-known. Japanese celebrate the days when the flowers finally blossom. Only a few days later, the petals(花瓣) fall to the ground, like pink snowflakes. That means the traditional festival only lasts for several days. In Japan, almost everyone has picnics in the parks to view the flowers.
Sinhalese New Year----Sri Lanka
Dates: 13th or 14th, April
Just like in many other countries in South or South East Asia, this is the time when the Sinhalese celebrate the traditional New Year, an ancient celebration which marks the end of the harvest season and is one of two times of the year when the sun is straight above Sri Lanka. There are a lot of delicious foods during the celebration.

22、Reading is the ability to process text, understand its meaning and to integrate it with what the reader already knows. Of all the reading skills speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line. But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation.
A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike tradition book club, the point of the slow reading club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones.
Slow readers, such as The Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize. Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand others’ mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.
Yet technology has made us less attentive readers. Screens have changed our reading patterns from the top-to-right, left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian. Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other.
Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. “Aim for 30 minutes a day,” advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you’ll never lose your place.”
【1】The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows____________.
A. the new trend of slow reading B. the decline of electronic devices
C. the importance of exchanging ideas D. the increasing number of club readers
【2】According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly because of_____________.
A. a non-stop reading pattern B. the straight, left-to-right screen
C. a wide range of interesting news D. the lack of reflection
【3】According to the passage, slow reading___________.
A. contributes to understanding among people
B. promotes the current technology advances
C. provides people with a quiet environment
D. cures the memory loss of elderly people
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Benefit of Reading Clubs B. Return of Slow Reading
C. Reading of the Internet Age D. Influence of Speed Reading
23、It’s late on a Thursday; I’m driving past concrete (混凝土的) bridges under the glow of streetlights. During these trips home when all that faces me are boarded-up buildings and empty sidewalks (人行道), I feel like a fool. I have a paper to write, a math test tomorrow that I haven’t studied for, and yet I pulled myself across town to an old building to talk to the world a little bit. Since I got a call two days ago, I went into a wild scramble (忙乱), cancelled plans with family and friends, all to sweat over a microphone for two or three hours.
I am a DJ at community radio station WAIF-FM, and go-to substitute (代替者). Four in the morning on a Tuesday? I’ll be there. Seven on a Saturday night even though I haven’t seen my friends in weeks? I’ll be there. Some days I regret ever stepping foot in that run-down building, but when the on - air sign goes red, there isn’t anything you can do to get me out of the studio.
I started because I had always had a curiosity about radio and had come by to watch a friend fill in for a DJ with pneumonia (肺炎). Two hours later, her show was over and a worried woman came in, told us that someone had quit and offered me his spot. After some training, I was on the air two weeks later with the show Kindred Sanction, a local music program.
I can be good, very good, if I remember that nobody is listening. Then I’m a humorous cultural landmark throwing records on the air. The only problem is that I occasionally have an audience, and when the phone flashes, I go into panic mode. Oh please no! Oh please yes! Have there been people listening? Sometimes it’s a wrong number and I try to go back to being a cool announcer, but hopes have been raised and disappeared and I finish the night miffed. More often it’s a listener and I am both excited and frightened. Those times I take comfort in the deserted sidewalks, thinking, maybe some of those people are listening, and maybe, just maybe they like what they heard.
