Passage 2 Two years ago, my friend Terry and I were living in our dormitory at our university.With his birthday approaching, he came to me with an unusual request.Instead of receiving presents and getting drunk (like most every other 21－year－old would), he wanted to do some acts of kindness.I was struck with such an idea.He told me about a TED talk he had watched online, which had inspired him. Our university is not located in the safest area in Los Angeles.In fact, its location is so unsafe that the school employs the second largest private legal militia (民兵队伍) in the United States to protect its students.They have to work around the clock, standing on street corners throughout the university keeping watch.It's a thankless job as most students grow used to seeing officers all around and finally hardly even notice their presence. How could we show them our appreciation? We rented a truck and asked its driver to drive us around the place where we knew the officers would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate.The truck driver was a bit hesitant (犹豫的) about our plan at first but after a while he was helping us spot officers and our lively spirits had spread to him as well.Smiles and appreciative words from the officers impressed us a lot.Soon they were talking about us over their radio and we were the ones being spotted and called over.Finally, the hot chocolate seemed secondary (次要的) to their interest in meeting us, the two boys that went around with hot chocolate expecting to share some late－night laughter.It was amazing to see how a small simple act could lift everyone's spirits. 4．What inspired Terry to celebrate his birthday in a different way？ A.A radio speech.

According to the zodiac (生肖) of the Chinese lunar calendar, the Year of the Rabbit will start on Jan.22, the first day of the Chinese New Year.Every year China Post and China Philatelic will offer a series of creative products, patterned after the 12 zodiac animals in turn, to mark the occasion.Highlights from this year's offerings include a stamp album produced in collaboration with the Palace Museum in Beijing.It includes stamps showing rabbit－themed artifacts in the collection of the former Forbidden City.Another album includes selected stamps issued by China Post since 1983 to show the development of postage and stamp design through four decades. The company will issue the annual zodiac stamps on Jan.5.Every year an artist is asked to design two zodiac stamps, and the designer for the Year of the Rabbit is Huang Yongyu, who has been commissioned with the task several other times.One stamp shows a blue rabbit holding a pencil and an envelope and text wishing for wisdom; another stamp shows three rabbits colored white，yellow and light blue running head to toe in a circle with a red background showing sketches of curling clouds.At the center is the Jade Rabbit, a companion of Chang'e, the moon goddess in Chinese mythology, making the elixir (仙丹) of life under a magic laurel tree. 1．Why does China Post and China Philatelic launch the stamps mentioned in the passage？ A.To showcase the distinguished skills of Chinese craftsmen.

In traditional Chinese weddings, couples usually wear red.Red is always a symbol of fortune in Chinese culture, and the hall of the ceremony is also richly decorated in red.Couples will perform a three－step ritual, namely to heaven and earth, to their parents and to each other. In Lanzhou, several wedding planning companies are sparing no effort to promote their “Chinese－style wedding packages”， which offer a wide range of choices for wedding plans.Chinese－style weddings make up nearly 40 percent of our orders.Customers often need to make reservations six months in advance, said Zhang, a wedding planner. Wang Yiru, another wedding planner in Lanzhou, Xinxin Wedding Service Company, said the preparation for a Chinese－style wedding is usually very time－consuming and costly. “Wedding ceremonies reflect social and cultural changes.With people's living standards improved, they go for more individual choices，” said Wang Zongli, a professor at Northwest Normal University. 5．What do the newly－married usually do in a traditional Chinese wedding？ A.Perform Western rituals. B.Memorize their ancestors. C.Say “I do” to each other. D.Wear Chinese－style clothes. 6．Why is red always used in traditional Chinese weddings？ A.Red is a symbol of fortune. B.Red is a symbol of money. C.Red is a symbol of heaven. D.Red is a symbol of health. 7．What can we infer about Chinese－style weddings？ A.People can make a Chinese－style wedding reservation easily. B.More than half couples choose to hold Chinese－style wedding. C.A Chinese－style wedding needs a lot of time and money to hold. D.Some wedding companies think little of Chinese－style wedding. 8．What's the best title of this text？ A.Some Skills to Hold a Great Traditional Chinese Wedding B.Traditional Chinese Weddings and Old Western Weddings C.Dream to Have a Nice Traditional Chinese Wedding D.Traditional Chinese Weddings Have Regained Popularity Passage 5 Join the Friends and find the place that's right for you ●Who are the Friends of the University Art Museum?

In traditional Chinese weddings, couples usually wear red.Red is always a symbol of fortune in Chinese culture, and the hall of the ceremony is also richly decorated in red.Couples will perform a three－step ritual, namely to heaven and earth, to their parents and to each other. In Lanzhou, several wedding planning companies are sparing no effort to promote their “Chinese－style wedding packages”， which offer a wide range of choices for wedding plans.Chinese－style weddings make up nearly 40 percent of our orders.Customers often need to make reservations six months in advance, said Zhang, a wedding planner. Wang Yiru, another wedding planner in Lanzhou, Xinxin Wedding Service Company, said the preparation for a Chinese－style wedding is usually very time－consuming and costly. “Wedding ceremonies reflect social and cultural changes.With people's living standards improved, they go for more individual choices，” said Wang Zongli, a professor at Northwest Normal University. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是越来越多的中国新人开始选择传统的中式婚礼，包括穿着唐装和进行传统的仪式。这一趋势反映了社会文化价值的变化，人们越来越追求个性化的选择。 5．What do the newly－married usually do in a traditional Chinese wedding？(　D　) A.Perform Western rituals.
