24、任务型阅读

注意：每空一词。

Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? Then you cannot pay enough attention during a test or in your study. If so, then you know that is stress. You are worried too much about something. The bad feeling in your mind can make you angry, sad, or scared, and can even give you a stomachache or a headache.

  However, some kind of stress is good. Excitement might happen when you are called to give a speech at school. You feel nervous but excited. This kind of stress can help you to get things well done. And you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare more beforehand.

On the other hand, bad stress can last long if you are unable to come over your problems. You may not feel well, if your parents are having a quarrel, if a family member is badly ill, if you’re doing poorly at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually let you do worse in your daily life. The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you get enough sleep and eat properly. Have some regular exercise. You should take some time for fun. Get advice from your parents, teachers and friends. Soon after that, you’ll probably get away with your stress.

26、Flower-drum dancing is a traditional Chinese folk performance. It is popular across the country, especially in places such as Fengyang in Anhui, Guangshan in Henan, and Haian in Jiangsu.

The Haian flower-drum dance dates back to more than 400 years ago. It became popular in the areas of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The art form was used to show the peaceful lives of local fisherwomen. It is still popular with local people, known for its lively movements and gentle music. In 2007, the Haian flower-drum dance was included in the list of art forms that make up Jiangsu’s provincial intangible(非物质的) cultural heritage.

Yang Peijie, 71, is an inheritor (传承人) of the Haian flower-drum dance. He has been performing the dance for more than 50 years. “It has become a part of my life,” he said.

When Yang was a teenager, he joined an art troupe and started to learn the dance from older artists. At that time, people could only learn it in this way. There were no textbooks. Worrying the art may become lost, Yang spent five years studying the history of the dance and recorded its movements in detail. He visited almost all the local artists and wrote a book about the subject in his thirties.

According to Yang, the dance movements are easy to learn and understand as they come from everyday life. “For example, there is a movement called fengbailiu. It means you twist (扭动) your body like the wind blowing the willow trees.”

Nowadays, Yang focuses on spreading the dance among all age groups, especially the young. He set up a team to work on this. The team members visit about eight schools each year to teach students. It has been added to break-time exercises in many schools. “To make it easier for kids to learn, we break down difficult movements into several simple ones,” Yang said. They also go to communities and parks to teach older people. “It’s my responsibility to pass down the art. I don’t want to see it get lost in my lifetime,” Yang said.

【1】What do we know about the Haian flower-drum dance?

A．It was performed by local fisherwomen.

B．It is famous for its mysterious and classical dance moves.

C．It first appeared in the Yangtze River area in the Ming Dynasty.

D．It was included in the list of Jiangsu’s provincial intangible cultural heritage.

【2】What did Yang do to keep the art alive?

A．He wrote a book about it in the last century.

B．He got suggestions from the local government.

C．He recorded all the local artists’ dance moves in detail.

D．He joined an art troupe and learned the dance from older artists.

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．Yang’s love for flower-drum dance.

B．The ways Yang teaches flower-drum dance.

27、Are you planning to visit a relative’s or a friend’s place? Then do you know how to behave well? If you don’t know, please don’t be afraid. Here’s some advice for you to be a great guest.

If you are planning to visit the hosts, call them up instead of writing an e-mail. Before your visit, set the exact time period for which you will stay. It’s important that you reach their house on time. They will be happy to have a guest who plans his visit and follows the plan as well.

It will be nice for you to bring a small gift for your hosts. It will be better to get something which is a specialty (特产) of the city you live in.

You must have heard of this saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Every family has its own set of rules, so you’d better follow them. For example, don’t offer their children junk food, play loud music or play ball at their house.

While at the dinner table, you should be happy to eat whatever the host gives you because it’s impolite if you refuse. If you want to eat something special, you should cook it for everyone. Remember to help clean the dishes after the meal.

Don’t leave without thanking them for their good treat. Don’t forget to mention how much you enjoy your stay. When you go back, send the hosts some flowers along with a thank-you note expressing that you enjoy your stay. Thank them once again for being so nice to you. Don’t forget to invite the hosts to your place so that you can return the hospitality (好客) and kindness. This will make them feel very nice.

【1】What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?

A．Wherever we are, we need to do as the Romans do.

B．When we visit a new place, people there should follow our rules.

C．We should respect and follow the customs in the place that we visit.

D．We should learn from the Romans because what they do is always right.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．At table it’s OK to refuse something the host gives us.

B．We should arrive at the house on time.

C．We can show that we enjoy the stay by sending a thank-you note.

D．When we visit others, bringing a specialty of our city is a good idea.

【3】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A．how to be a great host

B．how to behave well at table

C．how to make a plan before a visit

D．how to be a great house guest
