The traditional holiday is the most important to Chinese both at home and abroad. The United KingdomCelebrations for the Spring Festival in the UK started in 1980, with the first evening party held in 2002. Every New Year, people get together and have a lot of activities. They sing songs, dance to music, share photos with friends or enjoy films in a cinema. The United StatesThe Spring Festival has become a key time for Chinese living or working in the US. They join in a large evening party to welcome the new year. It is a good chance for people to build a circle(圈子) of friends and feel that they are not alone because they share the same culture and values(价值观). AustraliaThe Chinese New Year is welcomed with three weeks of celebrations across Australia. Many people come to Sydney’s Chinatown or Little Bourke in Melbourne. They enjoy fireworks, lion dances, dragon boat races and many other traditional activities. The celebrations are also a bridge towards better understanding between Chinese and non-Chinese. SingaporeThe family dinner on New Year’s Eve is an important tradition for Chinese whether they were born in Singapore or moved there from China. They place traditional food on a table as an act of remembering their past. Then the whole family enjoy their dinner together.

You never know what you’re going to get. A big mystery(奥秘) in Chinese life comes in a plastic case. The mooncake is one of the best desserts I have ever tasted, but buying it is a never-ending surprise or disappointment(失望). ▲ Mooncakes in China are bigger, thicker and tastier than the dessert in my country. They are round and filled with different kinds of fillings. Red bean and nuts are the most common, but there are more elaborate(精心制作的) fillings I am just discovering every year: green tea, meat, salted egg, cream cheese, duck and so on. I have read about an ice-cream mooncake. I’ve never tried it but I wonder where to find it. My question is simple: How do you know what’s inside? For one who has gotten tired of good old red bean filling, it would be nice to taste the others. I like nuts and salted egg in my mooncake. But when I ask the store clerk what’s inside, I’m usually met with a blank look. I wish there was a smarter way to tell Chinese mooncakes without tasting it one by one. How about a photo of split-open mooncakes at every store? The buyer can always point the photos to the store clerk. An English translation of the chart would be helpful but not necessary. 1．Which of the following fillings in a mooncake is NOT mentioned in the passage? A． B． C． D． 2．Which sentence do you think can be filled in ▲ ? A．Sometimes they’re too expensive. B．It always reminds me of my life in China. C．You never know what kind of fillings you will get! D．However, it’s quite easy for me to get what I want. 3．What does the underlined word “blank” in Paragraph 5 mean? A．兴奋的 B．空白的 C．茫然的 D．愤怒的 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．The writer is a foreigner. B．The writer doesn’t like red beans. C．The writer has tasted the ice-cream mooncake before. D．The writer can’t tell what’s inside the mooncakes at all. 5．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To introduce a Chinese food—mooncake. B．To teach people how to buy the right mooncakes. C．To explain why mooncakes have different kinds of fillings. D．To call on a smart way to know the fillings in mooncakes. （3） Traditional Chinese Festivals Yuanxiao, the Lantern Festival, is on the 15th day of the first month in the Chinese calendar.
