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.

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.
