Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world.
“Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements.
What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart.
The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries.

They cook this kind of rice for important festivals like the Tomb Sweeping Festival or Sanyuesan. Every family in Wuming, a place in Guangxi, makes this dish to share with their guests. This rice also means goodwill and luck, as Zhuang families share it with neighbors during important milestones such as the birth of a child or the move to a new home.

On Sanyuesan, the Zhuang people will collect maple branches and put them at their door or around their house. Some even dye their rice red with maple leaves.

How to color Easter Eggs (复活蛋)?
Easter egg hunting is the most popular activity during the Easter holiday. It is enjoyed by both children and adults as they search for hidden eggs in gardens and parks. A fun and creative preparation activity for the whole family is coloring Easter eggs at home. Here is how:
Step 1: Boil the eggs.
Put the eggs in a pot of water. Make sure the water covers the eggs. Heat the water until it boils. Cover the pot and take it off the heat. Keep the eggs in the hot water for about 10 minutes and then take them out. Cool the eggs in an ice bath.

Find a bowl that is large enough to hold the eggs. In this bowl, put in 0.5 cups of boiling water, 10 drops of food coloring for each egg and a little white vinegar (醋). Adding more drops of food coloring will result in a stronger color and the vinegar helps make the colors brighter!
Step 3: Color the eggs.
Put the eggs in the bowl and keep them fully in the water at least minutes. Turn them from time to time to make sure all sides get dyed. The longer you leave them in the dyes, the darker the color will be.

E(2024·山东泰安·二模)
For centuries, China has been known as “a state of ceremonies”, which means Liyi Zhibang. There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic example. Today, although Chinese people usually shake hands when meeting friends and relatives, people still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the Spring Festival or attending someone’s wedding or birthday reception.
The fist-and-palm salute has a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had already performed it when meeting peers (同辈). In ancient times, if people met a stranger, they would prepare for a fight if necessary, and their hands were always ready for holding any weapon (武器). Holding hands together pointed towards themselves was a gesture of saying “relax”, meaning “I’m not with any weapons and I’m not here to pick a fight.” Later, it became the etiquette when people met each other or showed thanks.
So, how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? Firstly, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a half fist (拳) with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest, look at the person, raise both hands to the eyebrow (眉毛), bend down and shake hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top.
People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute, called Baoquan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture is formed by holding the right fist very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and extending both arms slightly forward in front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb (拇指) is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows impoliteness.
1.What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Need. B.Manners. C.Time. D.Groups.
2.Which picture shows the correct way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute?
A. B. C. D.
3.If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, he should ________.
A.keep his right hand open B.put his right hand on his left
C.not point his left thumb at himself D.not hold out his arms
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.There are no standards for these two salutes.
B.The fist-and-palm salute is more common in kung fu.
C.Now, people celebrate one’s birthday with the hold-fist salute.
D.These two salutes seem similar, but they are quite different.

On March 14, math and science lovers around the world celebrated a special day: Pi Day. Pi is equal to about 3.14, but the number goes on endlessly. It is sometimes written in Greek, π. With the help of computers, mathematicians have been able to calculate pi out to over a trillion decimal (小数) places, but there is still no end to the number.

★ and competing against others to see who can remember the most. Most teachers hold class contests to see how many numbers their students can memorize. The Guinness World Record for reciting the most digits of pi is held by Lyu Chao of China, who successfully recited pi out to nearly 67,890 decimal places.
Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number. People celebrate Pi Day by eating or throwing pic and with fun pi-related games and activities. In 2016, Princeton, New Jersey, held a birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14. There was also a “Walk a Pi Event” where people walked 3.14 miles together. Just like the number itself, the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless.

Good basic table manners are important because they help make sure that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table. Table manners are mostly common sense. Here are some rules that will carry you through most common situations.
1 You may have heard your mother say it many times. You should know that no one likes to see the food in your mouth.
Don’t make noises while eating. Making noises is not only unappetizing (倒胃口的), but it can also break others’ conversation.
Eat food bit by bit. 2 Don’t cut all of your meat at one time. This can remind people of feeding small children and the mess related to this situation.
Eat at a leisurely pace(悠闲地). This rule shows your host that you enjoy the food and the company (陪伴). 3 It shows that you’re only paying attention to the food and that you would rather be at home watching the grass grow than spend the time with your host.
Don’t stand and reach for food far from you. You are not supposed to get in the way of people either eating or talking. 57
Don’t forget “please” and “thank you”. These are useful words in most situations and especially important at the table.
4 You don’t want people to think that you are tired of their company. If you must leave the table, make your excuses clearly. You want to make people think that you would rather remain at the table talking with them than do anything else, but the matter at hand is so important that it must be dealt with at once.
Compliment (称赞) the cook. Even if the food is terrible, say something nice. It is always pleasant to end a meal in a positive way.
A.Excuse yourself when leaving the table.
B.Don’t speak with your mouth full of food.
C.Eating quickly is a sign of disrespect for the host.
D.You’d better not put your elbows on the dinner table.
E.It is as impolite as standing in front of a TV with other people behind you.
F.Cut meat and salad so that part of them don't stay out of your mouth after you put them in.

Different countries have different rules on doing business. When there is a chance for you to go abroad for a business purpose, it is best to be clear about the rules and customs. 1
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (especially women) with light kisses.
2 Business meetings sometimes start later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can last for hours―there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication to mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. 3 This is because arriving late is considered impolite.
In Switzerland
The Swiss call each other by their last name. They are also respectful of private lives. 62
For example, asking about a lady’s age or how much they make a month is seen impolite. Being on time is required. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree.
4 They keep their hands be seen at the table and their arms off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
Please remember, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

“Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process.

Easter egg hunting is the most popular activity during the Easter holiday. It is enjoyed by both children and adults as they search for hidden eggs in gardens and parks. A fun and creative preparation activity for the whole family is coloring Easter eggs at home. Here is how:

E(2024·山东泰安·二模)
For centuries, China has been known as “a state of ceremonies”, which means Liyi Zhibang. There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic example. Today, although Chinese people usually shake hands when meeting friends and relatives, people still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the Spring Festival or attending someone’s wedding or birthday reception.
The fist-and-palm salute has a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had already performed it when meeting peers (同辈). In ancient times, if people met a stranger, they would prepare for a fight if necessary, and their hands were always ready for holding any weapon (武器). Holding hands together pointed towards themselves was a gesture of saying “relax”, meaning “I’m not with any weapons and I’m not here to pick a fight.” Later, it became the etiquette when people met each other or showed thanks.
So, how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? Firstly, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a half fist (拳) with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest, look at the person, raise both hands to the eyebrow (眉毛), bend down and shake hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top.
People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute, called Baoquan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture is formed by holding the right fist very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and extending both arms slightly forward in front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb (拇指) is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows impoliteness.
1.What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Need. B.Manners. C.Time. D.Groups.
2.Which picture shows the correct way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute?
A. B. C. D.
3.If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, he should ________.
A.keep his right hand open B.put his right hand on his left
C.not point his left thumb at himself D.not hold out his arms
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.There are no standards for these two salutes.
B.The fist-and-palm salute is more common in kung fu.
C.Now, people celebrate one’s birthday with the hold-fist salute.
D.These two salutes seem similar, but they are quite different.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文讲述了拱手礼与抱拳礼。
1.词句猜测题。根据“There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic example.”可知拱手礼是一个相当经典的例子,因此是指古代中国有许多问候礼仪。etiquette意为“Manners”,故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据“Firstly, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a half fist (拳) with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest…If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top.”可知用你的右手握半个拳头,然后左手放在胸前握住右手,如果你是女人,你应该用另一种方式来做,应该是右手放在上面。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据“People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute…Make sure the left thumb (拇指) is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows impoliteness.”可知确保左手拇指靠近食指,不要指向自己,因为这是不礼貌的表现。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据“People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute…This gesture is formed by holding the right fist very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and extending both arms slightly forward in front of the chest.”以及“how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? Firstly, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a half fist (拳) with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest”可知抱拳礼握紧右拳,左手张开遮住右拳,双臂在胸前微微向前伸展;拱手礼如果你是男人,用你的右手握半个拳头,然后左手放在胸前握住右手,如果是女人,你应该用另一种方式来做,应该是右手放在上面。因此这两个敬礼看似相似,但却截然不同。故选D。
F(2024·甘肃武威·一模)
On March 14, math and science lovers around the world celebrated a special day: Pi Day. Pi is equal to about 3.14, but the number goes on endlessly. It is sometimes written in Greek, π. With the help of computers, mathematicians have been able to calculate pi out to over a trillion decimal (小数) places, but there is still no end to the number. This makes pi puzzling, even for the most famous scientists and mathematicians. Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14, since how we write this date, 3/14, looks just like the number pi.
For some people, the appeal (吸引力) of Pi Day goes far beyond math and science. Pi shows up throughout popular culture. You can see it in movies, comics, music and more. “In modern movies, any time the filmmaker wants to evoke (唤起) a sense of mystery, often the symbol pi is used,” said David Blatner, a Jewish-American writer of The Joy of Pi.
★ and competing against others to see who can remember the most. Most teachers hold class contests to see how many numbers their students can memorize. The Guinness World Record for reciting the most digits of pi is held by Lyu Chao of China, who successfully recited pi out to nearly 67,890 decimal places.
Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number. People celebrate Pi Day by eating or throwing pic and with fun pi-related games and activities. In 2016, Princeton, New Jersey, held a birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14. There was also a “Walk a Pi Event” where people walked 3.14 miles together. Just like the number itself, the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless.
1.Which description of pi is NOT correct?
A.The number of pi is endless. B.Pi Day falls on March 14.
C.Pi was first found in Greece. D.People usually write pi as π.
2.Which of the following can be put in ________?

5.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Fun activities to celebrate Pi Day. B.The importance of pi to math.
C.People’s expectation of pi. D.The story between Albert Einstein and pi.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.D 4.B 5.A
【导语】本文主要介绍Pi Day,讲了符号pi的意思,在其他地方所代表的含义,以及在这一天人们会举办的活动等。
1.细节理解题。根据“It is sometimes written in Greek, π.”可知,圆周率在希腊语中是π,并没有说是最早在希腊发现。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据“and competing against others to see who can remember the most.”可知,此处与记住圆周率的数字有关,选项C“人们也喜欢记住圆周率的数字”符合语境。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据“In modern movies, any time the filmmaker wants to evoke (唤起) a sense of mystery, often the symbol pi is used,”可知,在现代电影中,符号pi经常被用来表示一些神秘的东西。故选D。
4.细节理解题。根据“With the help of computers, mathematicians have been able to calculate pi out to over a trillion decimal (小数) places, but there is still no end to the number.”;“Most teachers hold class contests to see how many numbers their students can memorize.”;“The Guinness World Record for reciting the most digits of pi is held by Lyu Chao of China, who successfully recited pi out to nearly 67,890 decimal places.”可知,选项B:abd符合。故选B。

Good basic table manners are important because they help make sure that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table. Table manners are mostly common sense. Here are some rules that will carry you through most common situations.
1 You may have heard your mother say it many times. You should know that no one likes to see the food in your mouth.
Don’t make noises while eating. Making noises is not only unappetizing (倒胃口的), but it can also break others’ conversation.
Eat food bit by bit. 2 Don’t cut all of your meat at one time. This can remind people of feeding small children and the mess related to this situation.
Eat at a leisurely pace(悠闲地). This rule shows your host that you enjoy the food and the company (陪伴). 3 It shows that you’re only paying attention to the food and that you would rather be at home watching the grass grow than spend the time with your host.
Don’t stand and reach for food far from you. You are not supposed to get in the way of people either eating or talking. 57
Don’t forget “please” and “thank you”. These are useful words in most situations and especially important at the table.
4 You don’t want people to think that you are tired of their company. If you must leave the table, make your excuses clearly. You want to make people think that you would rather remain at the table talking with them than do anything else, but the matter at hand is so important that it must be dealt with at once.
Compliment (称赞) the cook. Even if the food is terrible, say something nice. It is always pleasant to end a meal in a positive way.
A.Excuse yourself when leaving the table.
B.Don’t speak with your mouth full of food.
C.Eating quickly is a sign of disrespect for the host.
D.You’d better not put your elbows on the dinner table.
E.It is as impolite as standing in front of a TV with other people behind you.
F.Cut meat and salad so that part of them don't stay out of your mouth after you put them in.

Different countries have different rules on doing business. When there is a chance for you to go abroad for a business purpose, it is best to be clear about the rules and customs. 1
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (especially women) with light kisses.
2 Business meetings sometimes start later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can last for hours―there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication to mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. 3 This is because arriving late is considered impolite.
In Switzerland
The Swiss call each other by their last name. They are also respectful of private lives. 62
For example, asking about a lady’s age or how much they make a month is seen impolite. Being on time is required. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree.
4 They keep their hands be seen at the table and their arms off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
Please remember, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
