A. In a travelling magazine. B. In a literature report. C. On a school notice board. D. On a medical website. B For Chinese people, festivals usually mean a break from work and happy family reunions (团聚). But for Long Wenying, festivals only mean more work. As a doctor in the emergency room, Long misses many family meals with her loved ones. She is often much busier during festivals. Sometimes she has to work without any breaks for 20 hours. This makes her tired and thirsty. “Festivals are a challenge because our patients are often in a bad situation. We need to stand by every minute,” says Long. Long's duty means she has little time to be with her family at festivals. But she never regrets her decision to be an ER doctor. “I make the most of every minute with my family. I'm very grateful for their support,” she says. Long is only one of millions of medical workers in China. They give up their family time to answer the call of duty. In the heart of every patient, their hard work shines brighter than festive fireworks. 5. What do festivals mean for Long Wenying? A. Break. B. Work. C. Courage. D. Success. 6. Where does Long Wenying work? A. In the factory. B. In the hospital. C. In the workshop. D. In the school. 7. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “grateful” in Paragraph 3? A. Worried. B. Helpful. C. Thankful. D. Angry. 8. Which is the best title for the text? A. Festive Fireworks B. Family Reunions C. The Call of Family D. The Call of Duty C Spring Festival is coming soon, which means gift-giving season is also coming. Are you thinking about buying gifts for the ones you love? According to Chinese culture, there are some taboos(禁忌) on gift giving that you should remember in mind. Chinese people usually don’t give a clock to each other. A clock sounds as “终” in Chinese. It means “the end”. So giving someone a clock means “your time is up”. It is unlucky, especially for old people. If clocks aren’t OK, maybe buying some fruit is a good idea. But remember not to buy pears. A pear sounds as “离” in Chinese. That means separation(分离). The umbrella also sounds the same as the word for separation in Chinese. Therefore, both pears and umbrellas are not good gifts. It’s hard to choose gifts. So what is a right gift? A “red envelope” with money in it is the most popular gift in China. People give their friends red envelopes as a way to express their greetings. During the Spring Festival, the older people will give children red envelopes to show their love. Chinese people like to put some money inside red envelopes, the number of the money should be lucky. For example, “520” means “I love you”, “1314” means “forever love”, “666” means “hoping that everything goes well for you” and “888” means “wishing you to be rich”. 9. You’d better not give someone a clock as a gift because it means that ______ . A. someone’s life is coming to an end B. someone must finish something on time C. someone is an unlucky person D. someone is getting old 10. Which of the following may have the meaning of “separation” as gifts? A. Pears and apples. B. Clocks and apples. C. Umbrellas and clocks. D. Pears and umbrellas. 11. The writer writes the text to ______ . A. tell people the Chinese traditional festival B. discuss the different kinds of gifts C. ask people to give others some expensive gifts D. help people choose the right gifts 12. The text mainly tells us about ______ . A. different festivals in China B. giving gifts for Spring Festival C. culture on Chinese gift giving D. lucky gifts in China D Body language plays an important part in our everyday communication. Eye contact (接触) is one important kind of body language. Eye contact means looking into somebody’s eyes. It can show feelings such as friendliness, interest, understanding and so on. Not using eye contact can bring problems, but using too much is not polite either. About eye contact, people from different countries have different ideas. In Western countries, using eye contact in a talk is very important. If you do not use eye contact, Western people may think that you are not listening carefully. And if you look away, they may think that you are telling lies. In Asian countries, it is polite to look down when you talk with an old person, like your teacher or parent. The differences can make problems. A Chinese student may look down when he talks to an American teacher. And the teacher may think the student is not friendly. At last, eye contact can be the key to communication. But don’t look at another person’s eyes all the time. 13. People use eye contact to know someone’s ______ . A. health B. family C. hobbies D. feelings 14. If you don’t use eye contact, Western people may think you are ______ . A. showing love B. thinking hard C. not listening carefully D. not showing interest 15. Which of the following is polite in Asian countries? 16.
