Similar holidays are celebrated in many parts of the world. Here are four famous festivals!
Carnival (狂欢节)
Brazil's most popular and festive holiday is Carnival. In fact, many people consider Carnival as one of the world's biggest celebrations. Each spring, on the Saturday before Ash Wednesday, the streets of Brazil's largest city, Rio de Janeiro, come alive with wild parties, festivals and thrilling balls. And the Samba School Parade is the highlight of the four-day event. About 3, 000 performers, wearing colorful costumes with feathers, beads and thousands of gold coins, dance down the parade route. Judges award a prize to the most brilliant group of dancers.
Cocuk Bayrami
Each April 23, Turkey celebrates Cocuk Bayrami, or Children's Day. Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk declared the holiday in 1920, as Turkey was becoming an independent nation after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, to symbolize children were the future of the new nation. Children all over Turkey dress up in special costumes or the national costumes for Cocuk Bayrami. Many children perform in plays or musicals. The centerpiece of Cocuk Bayrami takes place in Turkey's capital, Ankara, where children from around the world sing and dance in a spectacular pageant (盛大庆典).
Day of the Dead
Day of the Dead is celebrated on November 1 in Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala and other parts of Central and South America. Families gather to pray to the souls of dead relatives, asking them to return for just one night. People decorate altars (祭坛) in their homes and gravesites with food, candles, candy skulls and marigolds to welcome the souls back to earth. Skeletons are displayed throughout cities, and people dressed as skeletons parade through the streets. Day of the Dead sounds like a terrifying event, but it's a time to celebrate and remember the lives of dead family members.
Diwali（排灯节）
Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is the best known of Hindu celebrations and certainly the brightest. It is celebrated on New moon day of Kartika, although the celebrations begin two days before that date and end two days after that date. In the darkest skies of autumn, lights brighten homes throughout India—a sign of welcome to the gods Rama and Lakshmi. Families get together and celebrate with gifts and feasts. Many families decorate their homes with flowers and draw a colorful rangoli, a pattern made in rice flour, at the entrance of the home.

Maria（1718-1799）was a famous Italian mathematician.She was described in a book as follows："Maria was a child prodigy（神童），but was also shy."

American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions．The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment， ethnic diversity and plural religion， which is quite different from other nations in the world．What is more， these elements are still influencing the American culture．
The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America from 1607 to 1892．Frontiers were pushed further west．The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise， opportunity and freedom．Actually they looked for a better life．So individualism， selfreliance， and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of America．
In history， people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times．They brought their own culture to America and later on， different cultures were mixed together．Thus the unique American culture was formed， a common cultural life with commonly shared values．
The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States．The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism（多元化）； almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States．
Nowadays， we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society．American family is typically parents and their unmarried children．Middleaged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children．The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place．Quite a number of people change residences every year．The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime．
28. We can learn from this article that ______ ．
A. the population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups
B. the early immigrants brought about the unique American culture
C. people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique culture
D. the American family members don't get along well with each other

31. What might be the most suitable title of this article？ ______

B. Why American Culture Is Unique
C. The Influence of American Culture
D. Plural Religion and American Culture

When my father married my mother in 1943 he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.
When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story obtained a 1937 crown for me and I have always kept it in my wallet and I have always had enough for my needs.
A friend recently fell on hard times partly through external(外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, even given her food and tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.
Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless. I then thought about how the crown, a reminder of another's care and love, had protected me so I went to the bank for a $100 dollar bill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn't have a wallet so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better. "I feel rich and thank you for being a good friend" she said and we were both a bit teary.
The reason for passing this on is not to praise any generosity on my part but to show the power of "random acts of kindness". I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I'd never used and thought "I'll give that to my friend." I opened it and inside found $100. The universe is very just and if your heart is open the reward always comes.
32. What did the 1937 crown coin from the author's father mean to her mother
A. His concern for her. B. His pity and protection for her.
C. His care and love for her. D. His pride and respect for her.
33. Where did the author's friend keep the $100 dollar-bill
A. In the back of her wallet． B. In a little pencil case．
C. In the pocket of her raincoat． D. In the layer of her suitcase．
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The author became rich all of a sudden.
B. The author's friend would receive a wallet as a gift.
C. The author's friend was not touched by her story.
D. The author felt uncomfortable when receiving the bill.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. A hard life B. The help to a friend
C. A crown coin D. A gift from my father

A good relationship with a teacher today may help you in the future. Teachers are another group of adults in your life who can look out for you and guide you. So it is important to develop a good relationship with your teachers. (36) Do you dislike the subject or do you like the subject but just can't warm up to the teacher
If you don't like the subject being taught, it can affect your relationship with the teacher. Some students say it helps them to think of the classes as stepping stones toward a bigger goal, like going on to college. (37) You may hate math, but learning how to work out averages and percentages can help you in everything from sports to leaving a tip.
(38) When it comes to working with teachers, personality can come into play just as it can in any relationship. People naturally just get along better with some people than with others. (39) Learning to work with people you don't connect with easily is a good skill to have in life, no matter what your goals are.
(40) Just as teachers need to be fair and treat everyone equally, students have responsibilities, too. You don't have to like your teacher or agree with what he or she says, but it is necessary to be polite.

Violet sat on the gym floor, waiting for her turn to do somersaults （翻筋斗）. She looked at her little sister angrily, Tilly, across the room. This was Tilly's first week at gymnastics. Violet had done gymnastics for the past two years. Why couldn't Tilly find her own thing to do？ It was the same at home. Tilly followed Violet everywhere.
"Violet, you're up!" called Violet's instructor, Miss Taylor. Violet came over and pushed off with her legs and straightened her arms. She did one, two, three somersaults. Miss Taylor clapped. "Perfect!"
Violet noticed that Tilly had stepped away from the younger group to watch Violet's somersaults. "Tilly!" called Tilly's instructor, Miss Brooke, from across the room. "Your turn to do somersaults." Tilly walked nervously. She bent down to start a somersault. When she rolled, she fell heavily on the blanket. Kids laughed in surprise at the noise.
Tilly stood uncomfortably and then ran toward the restroom. She was gone from the gym,as Violet had wanted. But it didn't feel right. After telling Miss Taylor where she was going, Violet hurried to the restroom. She found Tilly crying hard. Violet put an arm around her sister. Tilly cried. "I don't want to do gymnastics anymore." This was Violet's chance. If she said nothing to her sister,Tilly might quit gymnastics forever.

A Strong-willed Person
Good morning, everyone. Today I'd like to talk about a strong-willed person—J.K. Rowling.
When Rowling began the first Harry Potter story, she was too poor to own a typewriter or afford the heating at home, so she had to spend hours in a cafeteria, writing by hand. ①Rowling was so determined that she overcame all the difficulties and completed the novel in seven years. Then after a total of twelve rejections, her first novel was finally published, leading her to great success.
②J.K. Rowling is my idol, whose strong will always encourages me to carry on whenever I encounter challenges.
That's all. Thank you.
Paragraph 1
But Violet knew how excited Tilly had been about joining in gymnastics .So Violet decided to cheer her up. Casting a comforting smile at Tilly, she helped her sister wipe out tears from her cheeks. . "You're better at somersaults than I was on my first day of gymnastics." Violet explained how embarrassing her first somersault was." Tilly smiled a little and calmed herself down..
Paragraph 2
Seeing a smile on Tilly's face, Violet said, "What about giving it another try？"Tilly smiled a little more. "OK." Picking up all her courage, Tilly walked back into the gym, where she did much practice and finally succeeded in doing somersaults perfectly under the guidance of Violet.. Nobody could feel more on top of the world than her then. Gratitude to her elder sister filled her eyes..
