Ⅰ.阅读理解
Most Chinese people expect to relax and enjoy themselves during the Golden Week.But for those trying to go someplace,it may seem more disappointment than pleasure.This year,the traffic jam resulted in a roadside wedding(婚礼).
The suffering of being stuck in traffic was probably most strongly felt by Lv Kangzhou and his bride(新娘)Yan Mengxia.By tradition,the groom(新郎)drove early in the morning to the bride's home in Zhejiang Province in East China to pick her up along with her family and take them to his family's hometown for the wedding.By 4 p.m.,Lv's wedding was 90 minutes away,but his car had not moved an inch for a long time.Lv got in touch with the local radio to explain his difficult situation and ask for a traffic forecast.The radio host told Lv there was no way to hold his wedding on time and offered to hold their wedding on the air.At 5:30 p.m.,Lv and his bride said their vows(发誓)on the side of the road,and Lv's family and friends witnessed the ceremony by listening to the radio.
Lv wasn't the only person stuck in the Golden Week crowds.According to the state news agency Xinhua, 11.7 million people traveled by train on Wednesday.About 120,000 people gathered at Tian'anmen Square in Beijing to watch the flagraising ceremony.Last year,the Forbidden City in Beijing hosted 175,000 tourists on one day during the Golden Week,and the number is expecting to be even bigger this year.
Chinese Internet users complain about the Golden Week holiday every year.An Internet user Tuzhi said on Sina Weibo,“On the Great Wall,I'm holding your hand,but I cannot see your face.”

There was a rich couple who was throwing a big New Year party at their house.So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price.They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn't mind paying for it.After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home.The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were torn, and he looked as if he wasn't even able to meet his daily needs.
They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home.The old porter quoted just $20, well below the market price.Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15.The porter was struggling to make even one time's meal so he needed anything he could earn.
The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery.They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn't deliver their stuff.
The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me.I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything.We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”
They both left towards the market.On their way near the market, they saw another porter.They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? This is our goods and he was supposed to deliver them.It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.”

Paragraph 1:
When the porter heard the angry wife asking, he turned back.The porter replied, “Madam, please calm down.I'm not a thief.That poor old man was sick since last month.He couldn't earn enough to even have a single meal of the day.Therefore, he fell down and handed me $15, saying, ‘I have taken an advance for this delivery, and you deliver the goods to the couple's home.’ Madam, he was poor and hungry, but he was an honest man.I was just on the way to completing the old man's last delivery to your home.”
Paragraph 2:
Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes, and the wife felt so ashamed that she had no courage to look her husband in the eye.Suddenly she rushed to the market.Half an hour later, the wife came back with some food in her hand.She passed the food on to the porter, and said sorry to the porter, saying that she shouldn't suspect them, and took them as thieves.At last, the porter took the goods to their house, and the rich couple changed their attitude to the man like the porter.
