Country: America
Started in: 2007

Drones are a kind of machine that can fly. They’re becoming more and more popular and are widely used in many areas. People use a computer to control this flying machine. Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger. Some people say this special machine will change our life as much as the computer does.
In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops. Brazil has quite a few large farms. On these farms, people find it difficult to look after all the crops. Drones can help farmers to find out if the crops are ill. They also help farmers use fewer farm chemicals. This can help the environment and save much money.
Drones can also help to find lost people. If people are lost, who are far from home, police can use drones to find them. A 92-year-old man in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the woods. Luckily, the drone found him in 20 minutes. He was finally saved by the police.
Drones can even serve people coffee. US company IBM has made this kind of drone. It can carry coffee to those in need. The drone can know when to bring a cup of coffee by studying a person’s habits. Then, the drone will fly to the person. There is a special device (设备) under the drone. It helps the drone to give people the coffee. The drone can also predict when someone needs their next cup of coffee.

Celebrating (庆祝) Chinese New Year with Chinese friends can be great, but, because of the cultural gap (文化差异), it can be really easy to give the wrong gift for Chinese New Year. Here are four things you should not give as a Chinese New Year gift.
Wallet—Loss of your finances (财源)
In Chinese Spring Festival culture, giving a wallet as a gift means giving away all your money and you might lose all your finances and luck. However, it is no problem to give a wallet to your family member who already shares your money.
Handkerchiefs (手帕)—Saying goodbye forever
People generally give handkerchiefs at the end of a funeral (葬礼). Handkerchiefs are a symbol of saying goodbye forever. Giving someone a gift like this insinuates you are saying goodbye forever.
Umbrellas—Break up
Umbrellas are a bad idea to give as gifts, because the Chinese word for “umbrella” sounds like the word “San” for “breaking up”. Giving somebody an umbrella may mean that you feel your relationship has fallen apart.
Shoes—Evil (邪恶)
Shoes are a bad idea as a present for Chinese New Year because the Chinese word for “shoes” sounds exactly like a word for bad luck or “evil”. And shoes are something that you step on, they are considered as (被认为) bad gifts.
28. Why can’t you give a wallet as a gift during the Spring Festival in China?
A. Because it is too expensive to buy a wallet.
B. Because it is a symbol of saying goodbye forever.
C. Because your family members won’t let you do that.
D. Because it means that you may give away all your money and luck.
29. The meaning of the underlined word “insinuates” _________.
A. 暗示 B. 找到 C. 决定 D. 证明
30. Giving an umbrella as a Chinese New Year gift is impolite because it means _________.
A. you will break up with him/her B. you are saying goodbye forever to him/her
C. you will develop a relationship with him/her D. you don’t want to share something with him/her
31. Why can’t shoes be given as a Chinese New Year gift?
a. Because shoes are bad for a person’s feet.
b. Because shoes are often seen as bad gifts in Chinese culture.
c. Because “giving shoes” stands for giving bad luck in Chinese culture.
d. Because the sound of “shoes” in Chinese is similar to the sound of “evil”.

Chores help improve life skills. They are young now, but when they grow up, they need to do washing, cooking and cleaning. They can’t learn them at school. Learning these skills at home is important.

Chores help teach them to respect others. They often can’t realize what their parents do around the house until they move away from home. They may realize the mess of their rooms by doing housework themselves, so they can respect their parents’ work at home.
Chores help improve planning skills. It feels like there are a lot of things to do in a day. How to spend time on them? Chores can help elder kids build good habits early. They learn to plan their time in a right way. It is also an important skill for them in the future.

Celebrating (庆祝) Chinese New Year with Chinese friends can be great, but, because of the cultural gap (文化差异), it can be really easy to give the wrong gift for Chinese New Year. Here are four things you should not give as a Chinese New Year gift.
Wallet—Loss of your finances (财源)
In Chinese Spring Festival culture, giving a wallet as a gift means giving away all your money and you might lose all your finances and luck. However, it is no problem to give a wallet to your family member who already shares your money.
Handkerchiefs (手帕)—Saying goodbye forever
People generally give handkerchiefs at the end of a funeral (葬礼). Handkerchiefs are a symbol of saying goodbye forever. Giving someone a gift like this insinuates you are saying goodbye forever.
Umbrellas—Break up
Umbrellas are a bad idea to give as gifts, because the Chinese word for “umbrella” sounds like the word “San” for “breaking up”. Giving somebody an umbrella may mean that you feel your relationship has fallen apart.
Shoes—Evil (邪恶)
Shoes are a bad idea as a present for Chinese New Year because the Chinese word for “shoes” sounds exactly like a word for bad luck or “evil”. And shoes are something that you step on, they are considered as (被认为) bad gifts.
28. Why can’t you give a wallet as a gift during the Spring Festival in China?
A. Because it is too expensive to buy a wallet.
B. Because it is a symbol of saying goodbye forever.
C. Because your family members won’t let you do that.
D. Because it means that you may give away all your money and luck.
29. The meaning of the underlined word “insinuates” _________.
A. 暗示 B. 找到 C. 决定 D. 证明
30. Giving an umbrella as a Chinese New Year gift is impolite because it means _________.
A. you will break up with him/her B. you are saying goodbye forever to him/her
C. you will develop a relationship with him/her D. you don’t want to share something with him/her
31. Why can’t shoes be given as a Chinese New Year gift?
a. Because shoes are bad for a person’s feet.
b. Because shoes are often seen as bad gifts in Chinese culture.
c. Because “giving shoes” stands for giving bad luck in Chinese culture.
d. Because the sound of “shoes” in Chinese is similar to the sound of “evil”.
A. a,b,c B. b,c,d C. a,c,d D. a,b,c,d
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了庆祝新年不应该作为春节礼物赠送的五样东西。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In traditional Chinese culture, giving a wallet as a gift means giving away all your money and you might lose all your finances (财源) and luck.”可知,送钱包作为礼物意味着送掉你所有的钱,你可能会失去所有的钱和运气。故选D。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“People generally give handkerchiefs at the end of a funeral (葬礼). Handkerchiefs are a symbol of saying goodbye forever.”可知,人们通常在葬礼结束时赠送手帕,手帕是永远告别的象征。所以像这样的礼物暗示着永别,所以insinuate意思是“暗示”。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Umbrellas are a bad idea to give as gifts, because the Chinese word for ‘umbrella’ sounds like the word ‘San’ for ‘breaking up’.”可知,给某人一把伞可能意味着“散”或“破裂”。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Shoes are a bad idea as a present for Chinese New Year because the Chinese word for “shoes” sounds exactly like a word for bad luck or “evil”. And shoes are something that you step on, they are considered as (被认为) bad gifts.”可知,作为中国新年礼物的鞋子是一个坏主意,因为中文中的“鞋子”听起来就像一个坏运气或“邪恶”的词。鞋子是你踩上去的东西,它们被认为是不好的礼物。故选B。
