二、阅读理解。
Some countries have a day to celebrate Father's Day. And the US is one of them. On that day all fathers across the country will get presents, have delicious dinners or enjoy something special.
How did the holiday begin? It isn't very clear. Some say it began with a church service (礼拜) in West Virginia in 1908, and others say the idea of Father's Day came from Dodd in Spokane, Washington in 1909.
37
Mrs. Dodd's mother died young, and her father raised six children by himself. Mrs. Dodd thought she had a great father. So she had the idea of having a church service for those great fathers on June 5,1908, her father's birthday. The date was too soon for the ministers to prepare the service. So they finally made it on June 19th, 1910. From then on, the State of Washington celebrated Father's Day on the third Sunday in June. Then in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson announced the third Sunday of June as Father's Day across America.
Now on Father's Day when children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they usually send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers like greeting cards full of funny ideas better. When they open the cards, they always can't help laughing a lot. All children want to show their true thanks to their fathers.
( ) 1.What does the underlined word “raise” probably mean?
A
A.Bring up. B.Take after. C.Put on. D.Find out.
( ) 2.Put the following things in order.
a. The ministers made the service on June 19th, 1910.
b. The president announced the third Sunday of June as Father's
Day.

d. Mrs. Dodd wanted to have a church service for great fathers.

The Chinese dragon is a great animal which can bring good luck in Chinese culture. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (农历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called Longtaitou. ▲ Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain, which is very important to farming. So Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.
54
People have many ways to celebrate the Longtaitou Festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother's brothers. They have a haircut to get rid of bad luck and have a new start.
Among Chinese people's festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longtaifou Festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon's beard (longxu).
55
Dumplings are dragon's ears (long'r). And spring rolls (春卷) are dragon's scales (longlin).

二、阅读下面短文,然后完成相应的练习。
The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and is also called the Double Ninth Festival. As both the month and the day are nine, it got this name. To celebrate the day, people usually climb mountains and enjoy chrysanthemum(菊花), so the festival is also known as the Height Ascending(登高) Festival or the Chrysanthemum Festival. In China, nine has the similar pronunciation with the word “forever”, meaning long life. So the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors' Day.

The festival has a history of over 2,000 years. During the Warring States Period, there was the Chongyang Festival. But it was only celebrated in the imperial palace. From the Han Dynasty, it began to be popular among the common people. The name of the Chongyang Festival first appeared in the Three Kingdoms Period. During the Jin Dynasty, there were customs of enjoying chrysanthemum and drinking wines on the day. It was not officially set as a festival until the Tang Dynasty. Since then, all the people
have spent the festival with kinds of activities. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people in the imperial palace all ate flower cakes to celebrate. The emperor climbed the mountain on the day as well. In 1989, the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors' Day.
As September has the clear sky and fresh air, it is a very good time to climb the mountain. There will be a happy sense of excitement by climbing the mountain in this season. Also, it is good for health. Since the Western Han Dynasty, it has been the custom of climbing on the Chongyang Festival.
On the day, enjoying chrysanthemum is very popular as the flower means long life. Drinking chrysanthemum is regarded as a way to prevent disasters and bad things. Inserting Zhuyu and sticking chrysanthemum are also traditions to avoid the bad as they have special smells which can repel(驱逐) insects and keep out the cold.
Eating Chongyang cakes is another tradition on the festival. There is no fixed way of the cake but the one with nine layers(层) with two sheep on it is the best. Two sheep means Chongyang. Nine layers show people could do well in everything.

As we all know, there are many traditional festivals in China. Among them, I like the Spring Festival best.
It comes in January or February. It is the most important time for family members to get together. We enjoy different kinds of food, such as dumplings and fish. At the same time, everyone celebrates to each other. We also watch the Spring Festival Gala and stay up late, hoping to have a new start in the following year.
