There are many different festivals in the world. 1. People can do many kinds of things when the festivals come.
The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. On that day, Chinese people often perform lion and dragon dances. And they also eat dumplings with their family members while watching Spring Gala. The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. 2. We often express our love to our mothers by giving flowers or other presents. April Fool’s Day is a funny festival, because you can play some small tricks on your friends and they can’t be angry with you. Anyway, June 1st is a dream day for all the kids around the world because it’s Children’s Day. On that day, they can get their favorite toys and have fun with their friends.
3.在西方,一些重要的节日和它也很相似。 Thanksgiving is one of them. It’s an idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with the family. The main dish of this meal is always the turkey!

However, more people celebrate Christmas. They often eat together and give presents to each other. 4.That’s because the true spirit of Christmas is to share love and joy with people around us!

25、Josh Ferrin picked up the keys to their new house in Salt Lake City earlier this week. He was excited to finally have a place his family could call their own. As he walked into the garage, a box caught his eye.
“I felt very surprised and called my wife. She wouldn’t believe what I had found,” said Ferrin, who works as an artist in Salt Lake City.
Then he found seven more boxes, all full of cash. Ferrin quickly took the boxes to his parents’ house to count. Along with his wife, they put thousands of bills on a table. They stopped counting at $40,000, but thought there was at least $5,000 more.
Ferrin thought about how so much money could buy things he never thought he could afford. “I wish I could say there was never any doubt in my mind,” Ferrin said. “But the money wasn’t ours and I don’t believe you get a chance very often to do something honest and that is a lesson I hope to teach to my children.”
He then thought about the home’s previous (先前的) owner, Arnold Bangerter, who died in November and left the house to his son. So Ferrin called Bangerter’s son with the news. Paul Bangerter knew his father hid money away because he once found a roll of cash taped under a drawer in their home, but he never considered his dad had hidden so much over the years.
“He grew up in hard times and people that survived that time didn’t have anything when they came out of it unless they saved it themselves,” said Paul Bangerter. “He was a saver, not a spender.”
“I’m a father, and I worry about the future for my kids,” Ferrin said. “I can see him putting that money away for a rainy day.”
【1】Which is the CORRECT order of the following events?
a. Ferrin rang Bangerter’s son up. b. Ferrin decided to return the money. c. Ferrin gave a call to his wife. d. Ferrin counted money in his parents’ house. e. Ferrin found a box of cash in the garage.
A.c-d-e-b-a
B.e-a-d-c-b
C.e-c-d-b-a
D.a-e-c-d-b
【2】What does the underlined part “ a rainy day” refer to?
A.Terrible weather.
B.Difficult time.
C.unpleasant days.
D.A long life.
【3】The writer implies (暗示) that ________ in the passage.
A.Arnold Bangerter suffered a lot when he was young.
B.Paul Bangerter knew nothing about his father’s saving.
C.Ferrin and Paul Bangerter are both good fathers for their kids.
D.Ferrin is an honest man who always dreams of living a rich life.
【4】The best title of this passage might be ▲ .
A.To be honest or not?
B.Should we prepare for trouble?
C.Arnold Bangerter--a kind father.
D.A box of cash: Hidden love.
26、There are twenty-seven bridges over the River Thames. And the Tower Bridge is the first bridge you have to pass if you go to London from the sea. It is close to the Tower of London, from which it got its name. It is a symbol of London.
The Tower Bridge was set up over the River Thames in London in 1894 and is one of the finest and most famous bridge in the world. It is the only bridge over the River Thames that can be raised and opened in the middle. The middle part can be raised to let the huge ships pass. It used to be raised about 50 times a day, but now it is raised only 4 to 5 times a week. If you are lucky enough to see the bridge with its two arms open high in the air, you will never forget it.
The Tower Bridge stands just on the south side of the Tower of London. People often think they are of the same age. But in fact, the Tower of London was built a thousand years ago, while the Tower Bridge only has a history of over one hundred years.
The Tower Bridge was first painted chocolate brown. Then in 1977, it was painted red, white and blue. Its picture also appeared in the opening of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games held in London. So come to visit the famous bridge. You are sure to have a wonderful experience.
