The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, also known as the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival (龙抬头), falls on the second day of the second lunar month each year. It’s a time when everything starts to wake up from winter sleep. Insects (昆虫) and animals start to move around more. They are ready to begin their life for the new year.
People like to get a haircut. It’s a famous tradition. People believe it can keep bad luck away.
Eating chengyao cakes during the festival is a tradition in Suzhou. There is a famous saying, “If you eat chengyao cakes on Longtaitou, your waist (腰) won’t hurt all year.” In Fujian, people eat tofu balls during the festival, and they often make tofu and vegetable balls, hoping for good luck. In Zhejiang, people usually eat “Green Rice Balls” or “Qingtuan”. They’re green because they use green vegetables, which represent (代表) spring and the growth of the new plants.
Kids also have their own fun traditions. They make colorful dragon things or draw pictures of dragons. Some schools even hold parties where children can dress up, play games, and learn about the festival’s history.

Maybe you like to play with your brothers and sisters. Maybe you enjoy staying with your mum and dad. Maybe you have a pet you like to play with. Spending time with your family is one example that makes being at home special.
Your bedroom is another example that makes home special. Your toys, your books, and your favourite things are in your bedroom. Think what you like best about your bedroom. Is it how it looks? Is it your comfortable (舒服的) bed that you sleep on? Maybe you like to have a quiet place to read a book or to think about your day.
Dinnertime can also be a special time at home. Families sit around the table to eat the food that Mum or Dad has prepared. It’s a time to share interesting stories about your day.
2. _______?
There are a lot of things to do to make home a special place. You can do the housework like cleaning, cooking, and yardwork in our house. When families work together to do housework, it makes the housework easier and more fun for everyone. Maybe you can help make the bed or clean the rooms. Maybe you can water the houseplants. Think about what you can do, so that when you come home every day, you can say, “Home, sweet home!”

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But when a person says “How are you?”, he wants to hear the answer “Fine.”, even if (尽管) the speaker isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question, and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. They are just ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi” in the USA.
Sometimes people say more than what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree (同意)?”, the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t agree. I think you are wrong.” But it isn’t very polite (礼貌), so they may say, “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nice way to say that you don’t think he is right.
It’s interesting when people want to finish talking. For example, when a person wants to finish talking with the other person on the phone, he may say “I have to go now.” Sometimes he gives an excuse (借口), for example, “Someone is knocking (敲) at the door.” The excuse may be real, or it may not be. It’s a polite way to finish talking and it doesn’t hurt (伤害) the other person’s feelings. People don’t always say what they are thinking. And it’s a part of the game of language.
1.When people in the US say “How are you?”, they really want to ________.
A.say hello B.leave quickly
C.know your feeling D.tell your age

Press your fingers into the back of your head, just above your neck. If you feel a small bony bump (突起), you may find evidence of human evolution (进化): it could be your body responding to common smartphone use in the 21st century.
According to a recent study, published in Scientific Reports, more young people have bony bumps at the base of their skulls, right above the neck. Medical professionals call them enlarged external occipital protuberances (EEOPs, 枕外隆突).
Australian health scientist David Shahar, the author of the study, told the BBC that he’s seen more and more patients with EEOPs over the past ten years. Together with other researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, they examined 1,200 skull x-rays from people aged 18–30. They also measured the bumps and noted each person’s posture. They found that one in four people had developed these growths. This led to their theory that smartphones are the cause.
According to their research, looking down at our phones adds stress onto the top of our spines (脊柱). To prevent damage to our spines, Shahar believes our bodies add fresh bony bump to help reduce the extra stress.
Most of the EEOPs measured just a few millimeters. However, several subjects were found with EEOPs as large as 30 mm.
In his report, Shahar said the results “highlighted the need” for prevention. In other words, we need to change our posture while using our phones.
Many people think our bones are solid and unmoving once we reach adulthood. In reality, they are alive and covered with blood vessels(血管), which allows them to develop in unique ways for each person.
Aside from EEOPs, other noticeable recent changes in human bodies include shrinking jaws, narrower elbows and generally smaller skeletons. The human body is adapting to modern life, so who knows what people in the future might look like?
1.What did the recent study find about EEOPs?
A.They can lead to many health problems.
B.They may stop growing when you reach 30.
C.They occur among more and more young people.
D.They have existed on human’s neck for centuries.
2.What is the main cause of EEOPs according to the researchers?
A.Extra stress. B.Aging bones.
C.Gene problems. D.Smartphone use.
3.Which of the following would Shahar probably agree with?
A.EEOPs increase the stress on our spines.
B.EEOPs are actually beneficial to our spines.
C.Young people’s bones adapt in similar ways.
D.Young people should exercise to improve their posture.
4.What’s the writing purpose of the text?
A.To persuade readers to protect their spines.
B.To explain why human bodies develop EEOPs.
C.To show some recent changes in human bodies.
D.To recommend some healthy habits of using phones.

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But when a person says “How are you?”, he wants to hear the answer “Fine.”, even if (尽管) the speaker isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question, and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. They are just ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi” in the USA.
Sometimes people say more than what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree (同意)?”, the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t agree. I think you are wrong.” But it isn’t very polite (礼貌), so they may say, “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nice way to say that you don’t think he is right.
It’s interesting when people want to finish talking. For example, when a person wants to finish talking with the other person on the phone, he may say “I have to go now.” Sometimes he gives an excuse (借口), for example, “Someone is knocking (敲) at the door.” The excuse may be real, or it may not be. It’s a polite way to finish talking and it doesn’t hurt (伤害) the other person’s feelings. People don’t always say what they are thinking. And it’s a part of the game of language.
1.When people in the US say “How are you?”, they really want to ________.
A.say hello B.leave quickly

Press your fingers into the back of your head, just above your neck. If you feel a small bony bump (突起), you may find evidence of human evolution (进化): it could be your body responding to common smartphone use in the 21st century.
According to a recent study, published in Scientific Reports, more young people have bony bumps at the base of their skulls, right above the neck. Medical professionals call them enlarged external occipital protuberances (EEOPs, 枕外隆突).
Australian health scientist David Shahar, the author of the study, told the BBC that he’s seen more and more patients with EEOPs over the past ten years. Together with other researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, they examined 1,200 skull x-rays from people aged 18–30. They also measured the bumps and noted each person’s posture. They found that one in four people had developed these growths. This led to their theory that smartphones are the cause.
According to their research, looking down at our phones adds stress onto the top of our spines (脊柱). To prevent damage to our spines, Shahar believes our bodies add fresh bony bump to help reduce the extra stress.
Most of the EEOPs measured just a few millimeters. However, several subjects were found with EEOPs as large as 30 mm.
In his report, Shahar said the results “highlighted the need” for prevention. In other words, we need to change our posture while using our phones.
Many people think our bones are solid and unmoving once we reach adulthood. In reality, they are alive and covered with blood vessels(血管), which allows them to develop in unique ways for each person.
Aside from EEOPs, other noticeable recent changes in human bodies include shrinking jaws, narrower elbows and generally smaller skeletons. The human body is adapting to modern life, so who knows what people in the future might look like?
1.What did the recent study find about EEOPs?
A.They can lead to many health problems.
B.They may stop growing when you reach 30.
C.They occur among more and more young people.
D.They have existed on human’s neck for centuries.
2.What is the main cause of EEOPs according to the researchers?
A.Extra stress. B.Aging bones.
C.Gene problems. D.Smartphone use.
3.Which of the following would Shahar probably agree with?
A.EEOPs increase the stress on our spines.
B.EEOPs are actually beneficial to our spines.
C.Young people’s bones adapt in similar ways.
D.Young people should exercise to improve their posture.
4.What’s the writing purpose of the text?
A.To persuade readers to protect their spines.
B.To explain why human bodies develop EEOPs.
C.To show some recent changes in human bodies.
D.To recommend some healthy habits of using phones.
