21、In the mid 1990’s, people started doing business on the Internet. At that time, there were two kinds of companies. First, there were traditional companies which sold things in stores. Then, there were Internet companies which didn’t have stores; they sold things only over the Net.

Traditional companies didn’t want to lose any business. Quickly, they created their own websites and began selling things over the Net. These are the so-called “brick and click”companies.

23、   In China, it’s a tradition for people to wait until the second day in the second month of the lunar (阴历的) year to cut their hair because people believe getting a hair cut on this day will bring them good luck. And traditional stories say that doing this in the first lunar month will cause your mother’s brothers to die.

Although it’s not true, some people still believe it. So, after a month’s wait, people usually flock to cut their hair on Dragon Head-Raising Day (龙抬头) ——the second day of the second lunar month.

Dragon Head-Raising Day falls on Feb 24 this year. It is an important traditional Chinese holiday. Ancient people believed that after this day, there would be more rainy days because the rain-bringing Dragon King would wake up from his winter sleep. So that day is the start of spring farming. Then goes a well-known saying, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”

Besides cutting their hair, there are also other ways to celebrate this holiday. For example, people eat food with “dragon names”. People call noodles dragon’s beard (龙须). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (龙耳) and spring rolls (春卷) are dragon’s scales (龙鳞). Sewing (缝补) is something that you can’t do, because the needles (针) might bring bad luck by hurting the dragon’s eyes.

A.it would make the Dragon King angry

C.it would bring them bad luck

【5】Which of the following is true about Dragon-Head Raising Day?

24、All over the world, people are planting trees, caring for them, and learning about their value. A special day was set aside for planting trees.

Here in the United States, we call this tree-planting festival Arbor Day. In Japan, it is called Greening Week. In Israel it is called the New Year’s Day of the trees. Korea has a Tree-loving Week. Iceland has a Student’s Afforestation Day. This means “to change open land into forest”. People in India celebrate a National Festival of Tree Planting. Whatever people call this special time of year, they are saying that trees are important to us all.

Arbor Day began in the United States in 1872 in Nebraska. J.Sterling Morton, a newspaperman, knew how important trees were to the land so he began the idea. The state offered prizes to the groups and people who planted the most trees. On that first Arbor Day, the people of Nebraska planted more than one million trees. Today, Arbor Day is celebrated in all 50 states and around the world.
