Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone
happy.It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick,the
aged,and children who have lost their parents,but also friends,workmates,relatives and
neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago,when a Cleveland man noticed that some people,such as children who
lost their parents and patients who lay in bed,too often felt forgotten and neglected,he
developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered.He did this by giving
them small gifts.With the help of his friends and neighbors,he gave those people small gifts on
a Saturday in October.During the years that followed,other Clevelanders began to take part in
the celebration,which came to be called "Sweetest Day".Over time,the Sweetest Day idea of
spreading cheer to the poor,the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to
include everyone,and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift.
Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religions(beliefs or on a family
relationship.It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.
Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving,Sweetest Day offers us
the opportunity to show others that we care,in a positive way.

Disappointment is a natural human emotion that occurs after a failure.For our young
children,this failure can look like not getting the toy they wanted,not being invited to a
classmate's birthday party or losing their favourite stuffed animal.
It is essential for children's mental health,well-being and overall development that they
experience how to deal with disappointment well.But this can be difficult for parents to handle,
particularly around holidays that have grown to involve gift-giving and expectations.
North American culture often mistakenly links love and happiness with material goods such
as toys;the Santa story promises magical wish fulfillment.This can cause conflict for parents
when children do not get the“right'”gift.
On holidays,there's social and personal pressure to provide happiness and joy to children
through material objects,which can be confused with providing the necessities.For parents who
do not have the resources to provide the perfect or desired gift,this can cause additional stress,
shame,guilt and fear around disappointment.Parents may feel as though they have let down
their child and that they have impacted the child's experience or memory of their"special day".
131
This is especially true if the child has difficulty with or is learning to regulate emotions and
expresses disappointment through tantrums(发怒)or sulking(生闷气).These behaviours can
affect parents profoundly,often leading them to feel badly about themselves or that the child
does not love them.
Changing our focus from giving rather than receiving can help our children develop and
appreciate the strength in gratitude.Research has linked gratitude to significant health and
wellness benefits such as improving self-esteem,improving sleep and developing empathy.
The other thing to know is that although disappointment feels awful,it is a part of life and
is actually a positive and healthy emotion that's central to children's emotional,cognitive and
social development throughout their lives.
8.Why is it difficult for parents to handle disappointment on Christmas?
A.It is connected with children's overall development.
B.It is the custom to give gifts or show expectations.
C.Children are easy to have tantrums or sulking.
D.Children often expect too much of their parents.

C.Interested.
D.Supportive.

A.It can avoid disappointment in life.
B.It can help children's academic development.
C.It is a necessary part of one's life.
D.It helps children realize the benefits of being grateful.
11.What is the best title for the text?
A.What Christmas Can Teach Kids about Disappointment
B.How We Can Meet Our Children's Expectations Best
C.What Harm Disappointment Does to Most Children
D.What Are the Rights to Give to Your Children on Christmas
D
When I'm travelling,someone always asks me,"Doesn't Australia have a holiday for a
horse race?"It's just one of those things that flash across the mind when people hear the word
“Australia”.
I never quite know how to respond.I mean,Australia indeed has such a public holiday.
There's the race that stops the nation.
132
I mean that we should give sporting events their own day.Sport in itself is an event that is
shared by people.It bridges differences and unites us on a primitive level-the cheers of the
crowd,the desire for victory and the creation of the community.
However,it is difficult to neglect the advertising promotion of these public holidays.Big
businesses use these days to develop our bad habits,such as large bets and alcohol.As these
public holidays roll around,our screens are filled with ads telling us to place bets with money-
back guarantees.
I really believe that we can have public holidays that consider our human need for
community.But it requires a change from sport to culture.And here's my case study:Singapore.
Singapore has a long list of public holidays,and the list is long for a very specific reason-to
acknowledge the cultural holidays of its diverse population.
The effectiveness of its public holidays is obvious:they expose the entire population to
difference.I remember growing up in Singapore and celebrating Hari Raya with my friends,
learning about Islamic culture and the reasons behind certain traditions.Isn't that what public
holidays are about,a day off to reconnect with yourself,your family and the wider community?
12.Why does the author not know how to respond to the question about the horse race holiday?
A.The author thinks there is no need to explain it.
B.The author doesn't really know about this holiday.
C.The author can't give away too many things about it.
D.The author considers such a holiday quite embarrassing.
13.What does the underlined word"neglect"in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Ignore.
B.Ban.
C.Seek.
D.Understand.
14.In the author's opinion,what is the problem of some public holidays?
A.They encourage people to purchase things
B.They have a negative effect on the public.
C.They don't unite people on a primitive level.
D.They're completely controlled by businesses.
15.What does the author want to show by giving the example of Singapore?
A.Australia doesn't have a very rich culture.
B.Sporting events should have their own day.
C.There should be various holidays in Australia.
D.Holidays should meet human need for community.
