The most energetic① and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring.At the Spring Festival in China,people eat dumplings,fish and meat and may give children lucky money② in red paper.There are dragon dances③ and carnivals④,and families celebrate the Lunar New Year⑤ together.Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals,which take place forty days before Easter,usually in February.These carnivals might include parades⑥,dancing in the streets day and night,loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds.Easter is an important religious⑦ and social festival for Christians around the world.It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life.Japan's Cherry⑧ Blossom⑨ Festival happens a little later.The country,covered with cherry tree flowers,looks as though it is covered with pink⑩ snow.
People love to get together to eat,drink and have fun with each other. Festivals let us enjoy life,be proud of our customs and forget our work for a little while.
最充满活力和最重要的节日是那些期待冬天结束和春天到来的节日。典型的就是中国的春节和一些西方国家有非常令人兴奋的嘉年华会以及日本的樱花节。人们喜欢聚在一起吃喝玩乐。节日让我们享受生活,为我们的习俗感到自豪,并且暂时忘记我们的工作。

世界各地的亚历克斯
1月10日,婚礼,印度
当纳迪姆邀请我去参加他妹妹的婚礼时,我觉得这是个千载难逢的机会。我绝对没有错!
婚礼在一个装饰明亮的酒店房间举行。有数百个客人,都穿着正式的、五颜六色的衣服。按照传统,新娘穿着醒目的红绸莎丽。
不是所有的传统习俗我都了解,但有一些给我留下了深刻的印象。一个是新郎骑着一匹美丽的白马入场。在老家我从没见过!另一个是纳迪姆的父亲自豪地牵着女儿经过成排的座位走到她的新婚丈夫面前。这让我想起了我姐姐的婚礼。虽然我们两种文化是如此不同,但笑脸是一样的。
接下来的风俗绝非是寻常的。这对夫妇手拉着手绕着一小团火走了四圈。然后他们一起在火边走了七步,每一步都做出了一个不同的承诺:他们将如何相互支持,幸福地生活在一起。太浪漫了!
仪式结束后,是庆祝的时候了。这个话题改日再聊,但是先这么说吧,(那天)舞跳了不少。现在我只知道我笨手笨脚……而且它们都受伤了!
2月26日,巴西里约狂欢节
我一下飞机,暑热就袭来。难怪里约人为这个快乐的时刻休假一周。我已经能感觉到了——狂欢节正在进行中!
为了亲身体验狂欢节的精神,我参加了一个街道聚会。幸运的是,我来得正是时候——当我在欢乐的人群中就座时,演出就要开始了。我能看到大约20名、身着华丽服装的巴西舞者和乐队站在街上。有些人扛着随风飘动的旗帜。人们兴奋地等待着。
然后是鲜艳的颜色和欢快的音乐的爆发,成群人加入了行动。乐队开始演奏充满活力的桑巴舞曲,舞者们扭来扭去,人群开始欢呼、鼓掌和唱歌。整个团队开始沿着这条路游行。狂欢节的人潮带着我们穿过不断增长的人海,一路上跳舞不停。狭窄的街道两旁摆满了装着软饮料和啤酒的冰柜,当我们经过一波又一波的街头小摊时,烤肉的味道弥漫在空气中。我被聚会的狂热所吸引,几乎没注意到五个小时飞逝了!
甚至当我那天晚上躺在床上时,鲜艳的颜色和欢快的音乐仍然在我周围回荡。待在里约热内卢的第一天是多么令人惊奇啊!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Our daughter had a new close friend,one we had heard many good things about,and we couldn't wait to get to know her.After my husband rolled out his homemade pizza,we sat down to enjoy his hard work as well as learn more about each other.
Wanting to make our guest feel cared for and valued,we showed interest in her life by asking questions to get to know her better.We chatted about hobbies,work and family.When we landed on the topic of holidays,she turned the question on us.“So how do you all celebrate Christmas? ” she asked.My husband,our daughter and I waited and looked at one another for a moment.
For some,this question is easy to answer.Their family has traditions they follow year after year.For others,it is more go-with-the-flow.As we pondered which details to share,my daughter spoke first,“For some,Christmas is only about their family.But for us,you never know who will be at our Christmas dinner.We invite in those who might not have a place to celebrate,asking them to join us.”
My eyes became wet with tears as I listened to our girl.I hadn't really noticed what she had seen as our normal.The way I saw it,inviting someone who needed a family on Christmas day was a natural thing for us.But as I look back,I see it has,in fact,become our holiday tradition.Giving a person a home for the holiday brings my heart joy.
Christmas isn't naturally a happy holiday for all.I remember that first Christmas without my dad.He died when I was five,and that first year was painful,an emptiness filling the room without his quiet presence with us.
For those whose family lives are less than what they want,the holidays can be a very hard time.If this is you,take a few moments to talk to someone and share how you are feeling today.

1.Why did the author mention the girl's question?

4.What can be learned about the author as a child?

Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations,but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four,dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes,roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.On the way,they must not kick or throw their cheese,or go into their competitors' lane(赛道).Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos(disappointingly,but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones).All the competitors are served with beer or port wine,the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque,New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia,the Caribbean and China,but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn,your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.But one thing is for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue,this festival isn't for you!
La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August,the Spanish town of Bun hosts La Tomatina—the world's largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour,in which time around
50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves,runs,or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
If you've ever wondered how dancers would tell the story of a man and a woman's love for each other through dance moves,you should watch people dance the Rumba. 1 And it is considered the most passionate(富有激情的)ballroom dance.
Like many Latin dances,the Rumba has its roots(根源)in Africa.When the Spanish first moved to the New World,they brought African slaves to work for them. 2 When they were finished with a hard day's work,they would sometimes find the person they were in love with and dance the Rumba. 3 They wanted to dance the Rumba in public!
The dance slowly spread and grew in popularity.Then,in the 1930s,the famous dance teacher Monsieur Pierre saw the Rumba being danced in New York and he decided it was so exciting and interesting that it should be danced in London,too. 4
Today there are several types of Rumba people dance.Some dance a type of Rumba that is very fast and features(以……为特点) big movements. 5 No matter what type of Rumba people dance,the story the dance tells is still the same:the love between a man and a woman.
A.From there,the Rumba spread across the world.
B.This popular dance is from the island nation of Cuba.
C.Others dance a slow type of Rumba and use small steps.
D.When slave masters saw this dance,they were impressed.
E.Slaves worked long hours and had very few ways to relax.
F.When the Rumba was first danced,it referred to a dance party.
G.This dance became a formal dance done in public with a partner.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拉丁舞的一种——伦巴舞。

根据空前的“African slaves”和空后的“a hard day's work”以及“find the person they were in love with and dance the Rumba”可知,奴隶每天工作很长时间,放松的方式非常有限。
D.When slave masters saw this dance,they were impressed.
根据空后的“They wanted to dance the Rumba in public!”可知,奴隶跳的伦巴舞给奴隶主留下了非常深刻的印象。
___________________________________________________They wanted to dance the Rumba in public!
The dance slowly spread and grew in popularity.Then,in the 1930s,the famous dance teacher Monsieur Pierre saw the Rumba being danced in New York and he decided it was so exciting and interesting that it should be danced in London,too.____________________________________________
A.From there,the Rumba spread across the world.
根据空前的“he decided it was so exciting and interesting that it should be danced in London,too”可知,伦巴舞后来被引进到伦敦,从此推广到全球。
Today there are several types of Rumba people dance.Some dance a type of Rumba that is very fast and features(以……为特点) big movements._________
_______________________________________No matter what type of Rumba people dance,the story the dance tells is still the same:the love between a man and a woman.
C.Others dance a slow type of Rumba and use small steps.
根据空前的“Some dance a type of Rumba that is very fast and features big movements.”可知,空格处继续列举另一些伦巴舞种类符合该处语境。
