25、There are many unusual customs around the world. If you travel there, it’s important for you to know about them.

Greece

If children are changing their teeth, instead of saving their teeth and placing them under a pillow (枕头) for the tooth fairy (仙子) to collect, Greek children’s teeth are thrown to the roof of their homes. This unusual tradition is thought to bring good luck for the family, as well as a healthy tooth for the child!

China

When dining with locals and traveling in cities, it’s important to give out gifts as a way of saying thank you. But remember to avoid giving them the following gifts: clocks, handkerchiefs (手帕) , shoes and anything white or black. It may seem like a good way of saying thank you for their lovely treat, but they are each strongly connected with death and funerals. A proper gift to pass on to show your thanks is delicious sweets or fresh tea.

Thailand

This is probably one of the most unusual customs to look out for, but it’s also a lot of fun—especially for your kids! Every November, in the town of Lop Buri, the locals lay out fresh fruit, cakes and candies on top of tables that line the streets. But these mouth—watering treats aren’t for the people, they’re for the native Macaque monkeys to enjoy. This strange but wonderful celebration is called the Monkey Buffet Festival, and is a must—see on a trip to Thailand.

26、Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.

When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.

His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.

He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.

“I wish you a Happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head.

“You are not from this country.” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if(好像)to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”

Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.

They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.”

When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.

“I have bought no books”, said he. “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.”

“My dear boy,” said his father, “here are some books for you, more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift.”

“I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.”

【1】Edward expected to________ with the money he got from his father.

A．help the poor family

B．buy something to eat

C．buy some pretty books

27、   During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when restaurants first shut down, Americans started cooking more at home. They had more leftovers (剩菜). In general, leftovers can be a convenient future meal. But they have a dark side, too.

Leftovers and other unspoiled (未损坏的) foods that we throw away are called food waste. We create food waste in many places—on farms, in supermarkets, at restaurants and even at home. It is a large problem that wastes resources and causes pollution.

For example, growing, packaging and transporting food takes a lot of space, energy and people to make it happen. When we throw food away, we also waste all of the energy that goes into these processes.

Roe and his team wanted to study food waste. They decided to concentrate on leftovers. They tracked (追踪) the eating habits of 18 men and women in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They tracked what they ate using an iPhone app. During the 7-day study, they gathered 1,200 different foods on their plates.

They found that people were more likely to pick at leftovers and not eat them fully. Also, eating leftovers seems to inspire (激发) eating other foods. This is perhaps because the leftovers are older and less fresh. Roe says there is a big lesson on how to avoid throwing food into the dustbin: choose smaller meals.

【1】When restaurants first shut down, Americans ________ at home.

A．started cooking more

B．had fewer leftovers

C．stopped cooking

D．had fewer meals

【2】According to the passage, we don’t create food waste ________.

A．on farms

B．at restaurants

C．in colleges

D．at home

【3】What does growing, packaging and transporting food take?

A．A lot of space, energy and plates.

B．A lot of space, energy and people.

C．A lot of cars, energy and people.

D．A lot of air, water and people.

【4】How many people did Roe and his team track?

A．7.

B．8.

C．18.

D．1200.

【5】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Leftovers

B．Food

C．Waste

D．Pollution

28、根据下列语篇以及所给单词的首字母写出所给单词。在填写答题卡时，要求写出完整单词。(每空只写一词)

Why are we so tired in winter? Some say it’s because of the cold weather, others say that the load of homework is too great.

Once while I was h【1】 a nap at break time, someone said to me: “Don’t sleep. Look! The weather today is so nice.” I r【2】 my head and looked outside. It was foggy, and I don’t usually think foggy weather is nice. That day, h【3】, I tried to enjoy the view. All of a sudden I started to see the day differently. The sun was shining through the fog: It was beautiful. I was so enjoying what I could see and forgot my tiredness.

I felt happy. I understood the r【4】 why I was tired. It wasn’t schoolwork, it wasn’t the weather. It was because I wasn’t optimistic enough. If we can learn how to appreciate, winter can be b【5】, too. If we learn to love this icy, foggy time of the year, it will be so much easier to love the other seasons. If we stay awake, are optimistic and look at life with a fresh eye, we will find much beauty in winter.
