In China certain foods have special meanings. Let’s see three foods with different meanings. In the north of China, people eat dumplings during big meals. It is a tradition (传统). The more dumplings people eat during Chinese New Year, the more money they will have next year. Sometimes people put a coin (硬币) into a dumpling. If a person gets the dumpling with a coin, he or she will have good luck in the coming year. Tangyuan is also called yuanxiao. It looks like a rice ball. It’s the main festival food for the Lantern Festival (元宵节). But in Guangdong, people love to eat tangyuan during the Winter Solstice (冬至). Some people in Guangdong also have tangyuan on the first day of the Spring Festival. Tangyuan is the symbol of reunion (团聚). This is the reason why it is popular during traditional festivals. In China, people call hot pot huo guo. And there are different tastes in different cities. In Sichuan, hot pot is hot. In Guangdong, hot pot is famous for its fresh food, such as fresh fish and vegetables. Eating hot pot makes people feel warm in the cold winter. And the red colour means that people will be happy in the following year. 21. Which kind of food means good luck? A. The hot pot. B. The long noodles. C. The sweet tangyuan. D. The dumpling with a coin. 22. When do people in Guangdong love to eat tangyuan? A. On the Lantern Festival. B. On the Winter Solstice. C. On the Summer Solstice. D. On the Mid-Autumn Festival. 23. What may you eat in the hot pot in Guangdong according to the passage? A. B. C. D. 24. What does the red colour of hot pot mean? A. Money. B. Warmth. C. Happiness. D. Peace. 25. Where is the passage most probably from? A. A science book. B. A food magazine. C. A sports report. D. A storybook. B There are many delicious fruits in autumn. Many people like fruits because they are sweet. But do you know why fruits are sweet? The answer is very easy. Fruits are sweet because trees are smart. For some trees, the key to survival (生存) is having sweet fruits. Some animals eat the fruits. Their seeds (种子) can move to new places with the help of these animals. For example, bears like apples’ sweet taste. They eat apples and carry the seeds in their stomachs (胃). And the bears don’t stay in the same place all the time. They walk around instead. They stop in a new place. The seeds come out of the bears’ bodies and fall onto the ground in the new place. Some time later, the seeds might grow into new trees. Moving the seeds to a different place is really important because it is a new tree’s start. In this way it doesn’t have to compete (竞争) with its parent tree for water or sun. However, not all fruits are sweet. Some fruits are sour, such as lemons. Maybe you don’t like lemons, but there are some insects (昆虫) and animals that enjoy lemons. They help lemon trees spread seeds. How clever the trees are! They can start the new lives without too much trouble. 26. Why do many people like fruits according to Paragraph 1? A. Because they are beautiful. B. Because they are cheap. C. Because they are sweet. D. Because they are smart. 27. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. When the seeds start their new life. B. How the seeds get the water and sunlight. C. How nearby trees match with each other. D Why moving the seeds to a different place is important. 28. What does the underlined word “spread” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Enjoy something very much. B. Leave something important. C. Move something to another place. D. Find something in a different place. 29. How is the passage organized? A. B. C. D. 30. Where may we read the passage? A. In a novel. B. In an email. C. In a news report. D. In a science magazine.
