21、National Potato Day was back on Friday 23rd August 2013. Along with BordBia (Irish Food Board) and many other potato growers in Ireland, Keogh’s Farm brought you a day that was all about potatoes and showing love for our national vegetable.
Keogh’s invited the public to Spud Fest, which took place on Dublin’s South King Street from 12 pm to 4 pm. This festival brought the farm to the city with potato performers, face painters, balloon modeling, music, tastings and plenty of other festival fun to celebrate the most delicious day of the year. There were lots of potatoes, of course.
Keogh’s along with the support of BordBia called on everyone to enjoy at least one potato on National Potato Day. Potatoes are naturally low in fat, a great source of vitamins and minerals and are a great way to support local Irish homegrown produce and businesses.
Tom Keogh, General Manager of Keogh’s Farm said, “We can’t believe we were getting ready for our third year of National Potato Day. When we dreamt the idea up in 2011, we had no idea it would attract so many people. Since the first National Potato Day we have received nothing but interest in potatoes at home and all over the world.
“Ireland is now recognized as one of the finest producers of top quality vegetables, with the potato leading the field. We are happy that BordBia have joined us this year to bring all our fellow potato producers together and join forces to promote (提升) the enjoyment of the potato. We are hoping National Potato Day is a day to encourage everyone to love potatoes!”

22、Online learning affords you access to programs across the world that might otherwise be highly inconvenient. 【1】 But if you develop skills for effective online learning, you’ll find the courses can be an excellent alternative to a traditional classroom setting.
Treat an online course like a “real” course.
When it comes to online classes, you need to have the discipline to sit down and say, “I am going to work on this.” 【2】 One of the easiest ways to ensure following through is to remember you are paying to take this online course, just as you would for a traditional, in-person class. You must “show up” if you’re going to get real value out of your class.
Hold yourself responsible.
Set goals at the beginning of the semester, and check in with yourself weekly. In a traditional classroom setting, you’ll often be reminded face to face of an assignment’s upcoming due date. But without a professor actively reminding you, it’s up to you to make sure that you complete the work in time. 【3】 If you’re having trouble holding yourself responsible, pair up with a fellow classmate.
【4】
Set up an environment suitable for studying. By completing your work there repeatedly, you’ll begin to establish a routine. Whether your workspace is your kitchen table or a corner in the library, it’s important to determine what type of environment will work best for you. Wherever you choose, make sure you have a high-speed internet connection and the required books, materials, and software for the course.
Actively participate.
Participate in the course’s online discussion to help you better understand course materials and engage with fellow classmates. This might involve commenting on a classmate’s paper on a discussion board or posting a question about a project you’re working on.【5】 Don’t wait until an assignment is almost due to ask questions or report issues. Email your professor and be active in asking for help.

G．You need to block the apps or websites that compete for your attention.
23、 Over the past months,dozens of carmakers have launched models online,and tens of thousands of dealerships across the country are selling cars via livestreaming(直播）.
As Chinese customers always have their smartphones at their side,they have been accustomed to shopping online. Moreover,the sales are made better received by virtual showrooms where customers can see the vehicles and interact(互动）in real-time about their prices and equipment.
To cater to the new trend,car salespeople need new skills in this world. Good product knowledge remains the basis,but if you want to be successful,you have to appear in livestreams like a type of TV presenter.
“Car salespeople are becoming entertainers,"said Michael Mayer,head of sales and marketing for Volkswagen brand in China. “The competition is tough,"he added. "Those who want to be found must always offer something new. "
The contest soon escalated. In March,British brand Land Rover came up with a 30-hour livestreaming event,during which its new Discovery Sport was launched. GM' s Cadillac invited online celebrities(名人）to help sell vehicles in April.
In China,a young man named Li Jiaqi is believed to know lipstick better than anyone else. Almost every night,millions of girls and ladies wait for him to appear online and introduce new lipsticks. Li was invited in April to help market Cadillac' s CT4. Despite the huge number of online viewers,none of them placed an order on the vehicle priced around 200,000 yuan.
Another online celebrity named Weiya helped attract orders for Roewe RX5 plus:4,180 were sold in 30 seconds. The key,said industry insiders,was the discount. Christine,a marketing manager of an international carmaker tells China Daily that she believes livestreaming with online celebrities won't help sales. "In fact,if you give dealers the same discount,they may sell even faster,"she said. "A lipstick is affordable for anyone,while a car is different. But bosses do not want their brands to remain silent,especially when others are seemingly having a good time. "
Some bosses decided to try it themselves. Nio Chairman Li Bin explained products. The 40-minute live show on May 18 brought in a total of 320 orders,5,288 test-drive appointments and sales valuing 128 million yuan. Orders continued to grow after the show and sales reached nearly 150 million yuan by the next day. WM President Shen Hui rapped unskillfully. Its online launch on May 10 obtained 1,400 million views. In two days it received over 4,000 orders,and more than 30,000 people showed interest in the model.
He Xiaopeng,founder of Xpeng Motor,said“Many people ask me when Xpeng will do livestreaming. I am worried that it will become a data-falsifying show. Everyone knows that the data is exaggerated(夸张）。But if you do not do it,you will feel you fall behind. "
Mayer said digitalization will continue,but that does not mean Volkswagen will make online sales the standard. He said it is more important to digitalize further process steps and thus work in a more customer-friendly and cost-effective manner.

24、Compared with some other parts of the world, Canada is not a country with a lot of particularly flashy traditions - which isn't to say none exist. In general, it's the aging process, and the various "key dates" that occur as a Canadian moves from babyhood to adulthood that tend to be the most celebrated and ritualized(仪式化了的）moments in mainstream Canadian culture.
Canadian couples will generally announce their pregnancy with great pride to friends and family as soon as they're aware, and it's common for girlfriends of the expecting mother to organize a baby shower-a small, lighthearted house party - to honour the new mom sometime before she gives birth. Shortly after the child is born, it's similarly customary for friends of the parents to visit and give at least one baby gift, usually a toy or clothes, to express congratulations.
If there's one thing Canadians love celebrating,it's the anniversary(周年纪念日)of their own birth. In recent years, birthdays have risen to become one of the most tradition-rich spectacles of Canadian culture. During childhood, most parents will arrange birthday parties for their children on the special day (or the closest available weekend), a fun excuse for the birthday boy or girl to gather up all their schoolyard friends and spend the afternoon hanging out. In their teenage years and adulthood, they begin to assume greater control over their own birthday plans.
Completing a phase of school in Canada is almost always celebrated with a fancy graduation ceremony. In their final year of high school (and sometimes middle school as well), students will celebrate the completion of their studies with some sort of party organized by the school, usually known as "grad night". These usually take the form of a fancy dress gala(庆典，盛会,演出）held at a local hotel, complete with a dinner, dancing and lots of awkwardly-posed photographs.

【2】What do we know about birthday celebrations in Canada?
A．They are only held on that very day of birth.

【3】What preparation might students need to do for their graduation ceremony?
A．They need to wear fancy clothes.
B．They need to organize a party.
C．They need to complete a study.
D．They need to learn photography.
