Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
For people in the Netherlands, April 27 is the date of the biggest party of the year-and an excuse to dress all in orange.
King's Day celebrates the birthday of King WillemAlexander, the current king of the Netherlands. It is the country's national day, and its people take their task of enjoying themselves very seriously.
There is even a special word in Dutch for the crazy events that happen during the festival:“oranjegekte” , which means “orange madness”. The colour is special to Dutch people because it's the colour of their country's royal family.
So what do people do to celebrate? The goto food is herring (鲱鱼). The fish stored in salty water and eaten with onions and pickles (腌菜) can be found at many fish shops around the country.
On the day, people wear as much orange as possible. Everyone wears huge orange hats, orange dresses and fake orange hair. Even pets are dressed up in orange clothes to celebrate.
King's Day is a day of shopping too,especially in the Netherlands' capital city.“As a city built on trade,Amsterdam loves to bargain,”CNN explained.“The free market gives everyone the chance to sell their secondhand things in the streets and parks of Amsterdam,creating one of the world's largest flea markets.”
Dutch people are known around the world for being laidback and sometimes a little crazy.And the Netherlands' King's Day celebrations certainly show off this side of its people.Compare it to the birthdays of other countries' kings and queens.In the UK,for example,Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ's birthday isn't usually celebrated,except for special birthdays like her 90th.Many people don't even know when her birthday is.In the Netherlands,however,the king or queen's birthday has long been a national excuse for a lighthearted day of orange fun.

The history of Teachers' Day traces back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). According to the record, during the Han and Jin dynasties, on August 27 each year, the birthday of Confucius, the emperor would go to the Confucius' temple and pay tribute(敬意) to the ancient philosopher followed by court officials, and would also invite royal teachers to the imperial court for a banquet. On this day, teachers around the nation enjoyed a day's vacation and were given dried meat as gifts.
The capital, all states and counties would also hold ceremonies to worship Confucius. Excellent performing teachers would be chosen from academies and learning institutions nationwide, reporting to the royal court and given 500 liang (两) silver coins as awards.
Until the Qing Dynasty, the ceremony, on August 27 ,was of a larger scale. The teachers' salaries in schools and academies around the nation were raised, and wellperforming teachers would be awarded official titles or promoted to higher positions.
Normally, an ancient teacher's income included salary,accommodation and festival gifts. There was no fixed tuition fee. Generally the parents paid teachers according to their household income. Both money and basic foodstuff could be paid in exchange for tuition.
In private schools, teachers always received money or gifts from the host family at certain festivals or at the beginning and end of each semester.
The festivals in which teachers received gifts varied from region to region,while the most valued ones were the Duanwu, MidAutumn and Chinese New Year festivals,as well as Confucius' birthday and the private tutor's birthday.
Among all the giftgiving festivals, the first meeting gift was a must. When students met their private tutors for the first time, they had to kneel down to Confucius' spirit tablet and then to their private tutors,before presenting a “gift”.
