It is celebrated in a few countries around the world. It is always important to respect (尊敬) your elders. The night before Grandparents’ Day, Nancy and May can’t go to sleep because they want to do something for their grandparents. “Now,” says Nancy, “it’s time for us to do something for our grandparents. Let’s think about a surprise for them.” The children think and think. At last May gets a good idea. She says, “Oh, I’ll tell you.” And she begins to talk very fast. “Oh, oh!” says Nancy. “That is just the thing!” The next morning the children get up early. They are very busy making breakfast. After some time, they call their grandparents. “Happy Grandparents’ Day!” they say. “Breakfast is ready.” “Oh, what a surprise!” their grandparents cry. Your grandparents know a lot about life. What do they teach you? Does your grandpa teach you how to fish? Does your grandma show you how to bake cookies? If you think about how much your parents do for you, just remember that your grandparents help them, too! Do they need your help now? Maybe they would just like to see you or hear you on the phone! 1．When is Grandparents’ Day in America? 2．What’s Grandparents’ Day? 3．Why can’t Nancy and May go to sleep? 4．What do Nancy and May do for their grandparents? 5．What do you often do for your grandparents on the Chong Yang Festival?

The festival came to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted. Why does a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always educated children to love and respect (尊敬) their parents. From our textbooks, we can read many poems and stories which celebrate (庆祝) mother’s love. Children in China grow up with the education of filial devotion (孝敬). On such a special day, people often use flowers or cards to express love. Carnations (康乃馨) are regarded as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own for mothers—the tiger lily (虎百合). Like most of Chinese children, I’m too shy to say to my mom “I love you, mom” face to face. Instead, I will do what I can to show how much I love her. Mother’s Day is on the way, I’m going to send my mom a bunch of tiger lily. Also, helping with housework is a good way to make my mom happy. Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple (简单的) expression of love from their children. 根据短文内容回答问题。 1．When is Mother’s Day? 2．Why does a foreign festival become popular in China? 3．Is the tiger lily China’s own flower for mothers? 4．What’s the writer going to do to celebrate Mother’s Day? 5．What do you think the best gift for your mom on Mother’s Day ? The annual Water Splashing Festival falls during the New Year celebrations of the Dai Calendar. It is the most important festival celebrated by the Dai ethnic people of Xishuangbanna. It involves three days of celebrations that include sincere, yet light-hearted religious rituals that end in everyone’s getting wet all over. The first two days’ activities are concentrated on the banks of the Lancang River. A grand celebration marks the beginning of the festival. An out-door market is set up, where locals go for new-year shopping and tourists go for local souvenirs. Local food and snacks are other highlights travelers may not want to miss. Artists create sand carvings on open space close to the market. A dragon boat race is held on the Lancang River in the afternoon to say goodbye to the old year. At night, the banks of the river are colorfully lit, and tourists can enjoy the floating river lanterns made by locals. This practice is thought to drive bad luck away and bring good luck. The third day, the climax of the festival, is reserved for water splashing. On that day, the Dai put on their newest and best clothes, and then gather at the local Buddhist temple. Afterward, a symbolic water splashing ritual is held near a Buddhist statue. People first worshiped the Buddha, and then gathered at the courtyard outside the temple, ready to be splashed with water. The Water Splashing ceremony, however, is more than just good-natured fun; it also contains a religious element: water is regarded by the Dai as a symbol, firstly, of religious purification, but also of goodwill among people. Therefore, splashing a person with water during the festival, whether a close neighbor or a stranger, is an expression of the desire for good luck to that person. 1．Where can tourists get local souvenirs? 2．Why do the Dai hold a dragon boat race? 3．How can the Dai drive bad luck away and bring good luck? 4．The Water Splashing ceremony falls on the last day of the celebration, doesn’t it? 5．What does water stand for according to the Dai?   阅读短文，回答下列问题。 April 1st is a day on which, in some countries, people try to play tricks on others.

The festival came to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted. Why does a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always educated children to love and respect (尊敬) their parents. From our textbooks, we can read many poems and stories which celebrate (庆祝) mother’s love. Children in China grow up with the education of filial devotion (孝敬). On such a special day, people often use flowers or cards to express love. Carnations (康乃馨) are regarded as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own for mothers—the tiger lily (虎百合). Like most of Chinese children, I’m too shy to say to my mom “I love you, mom” face to face. Instead, I will do what I can to show how much I love her. Mother’s Day is on the way, I’m going to send my mom a bunch of tiger lily. Also, helping with housework is a good way to make my mom happy. Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple (简单的) expression of love from their children. 根据短文内容回答问题。 1．When is Mother’s Day? 2．Why does a foreign festival become popular in China? 3．Is the tiger lily China’s own flower for mothers? 4．What’s the writer going to do to celebrate Mother’s Day? 5．What do you think the best gift for your mom on Mother’s Day ? 【答案】1．(It falls) on/On the second Sunday of May. 2．(Because) Chinese traditional culture has always educated children to love and respect their parents. 3．Yes./Yes, it is. 4．He’s (She’s) going to send his/her mom a bunch of tiger lily and help with housework (to make his/her mom happy). 5．合理即可。参考答案：I think flowers are the best gift for my mom. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了母亲节的历史渊源、在中国受欢迎的原因、代表母亲的花及节日的意义。 1．根据“which started in the early 20th century and usually falls on the second Sunday of May.”可知母亲节在五月第二个周日，故填(It falls) on/On the second Sunday of May. 2．根据“In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always educated children to love and respect (尊敬) their parents.”可知中国传统文化一直教育孩子们要爱和尊敬他们的父母。因此母亲节会在中国受欢迎。故填(Because) Chinese traditional culture has always educated children to love and respect their parents. 3．根据“but few know that China has its own for mothers—the tiger lily (虎百合).”可知虎百合是中国送给母亲独有的花。故填Yes./Yes, it is. 4．根据“Instead, I will do what I can to show how much I love her. Mother’s Day is on the way, I’m going to send my mom a bunch of tiger lily.”及“Also, helping with housework is a good way to make my mom happy.”可知作者要送给妈妈一束虎百合并帮助妈妈做家务。故填He’s (She’s) going to send his/her mom a bunch of tiger lily and help with housework (to make his/her mom happy). 5．合理即可。参考答案：I think flowers are the best gift for my mom. The annual Water Splashing Festival falls during the New Year celebrations of the Dai Calendar. It is the most important festival celebrated by the Dai ethnic people of Xishuangbanna. It involves three days of celebrations that include sincere, yet light-hearted religious rituals that end in everyone’s getting wet all over. The first two days’ activities are concentrated on the banks of the Lancang River. A grand celebration marks the beginning of the festival. An out-door market is set up, where locals go for new-year shopping and tourists go for local souvenirs. Local food and snacks are other highlights travelers may not want to miss. Artists create sand carvings on open space close to the market. A dragon boat race is held on the Lancang River in the afternoon to say goodbye to the old year. At night, the banks of the river are colorfully lit, and tourists can enjoy the floating river lanterns made by locals. This practice is thought to drive bad luck away and bring good luck. The third day, the climax of the festival, is reserved for water splashing. On that day, the Dai put on their newest and best clothes, and then gather at the local Buddhist temple. Afterward, a symbolic water splashing ritual is held near a Buddhist statue. People first worshiped the Buddha, and then gathered at the courtyard outside the temple, ready to be splashed with water. The Water Splashing ceremony, however, is more than just good-natured fun; it also contains a religious element: water is regarded by the Dai as a symbol, firstly, of religious purification, but also of goodwill among people. Therefore, splashing a person with water during the festival, whether a close neighbor or a stranger, is an expression of the desire for good luck to that person. 1．Where can tourists get local souvenirs? 2．Why do the Dai hold a dragon boat race? 3．How can the Dai drive bad luck away and bring good luck? 4．The Water Splashing ceremony falls on the last day of the celebration, doesn’t it? 5．What does water stand for according to the Dai?   【答案】1．In an out-door market. 2．To say goodbye to the old year. 3．By enjoying the floating river lanterns. 4．Yes, it does. 5．Water stands for bringing people good luck. 【导语】本文主要介绍了傣族泼水节的活动。 1．根据第三段“An out-door market is set up, where locals go for new-year shopping and tourists go for local souvenirs.”可知，游客可以在户外市场购买当地纪念品。故填In an out-door market. 2．根据第三段“A dragon boat race is held on the Lancang River in the afternoon to say goodbye to the old year.”可知，下午，傣族人举行龙舟赛是为了告别旧年。故填To say goodbye to the old year. 3．根据第三段“At night, the banks of the river are colorfully lit, and tourists can enjoy the floating river lanterns made by locals.
