I can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. You’ll find that some festivals are celebrated by an entire country, while others may be known only to a single city or region, but either way festivals play an important role in a certain culture. Just enjoy them!

★Tomatina — Bunol, Spain

Every last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is filled with tons of tomatoes in the world’s biggest food flight. Many people wear goggles (护目镜) during this hour of great fun, as the town becomes a red river.

★Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South Korea

For two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way to help sell the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party with music and fireworks. The mud is usually only available in cosmetic products (化妆品), but here you can cake yourself in grey as you want.

★Holi — India

Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’

s most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of brightly colored powder (粉末). The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common among Hindu people around the world.

★International Pillow Fight Day — Worldwide

Tens of thousands of people took part in the 4th annual International Pillow Fight Day on April 2, 2013．From London to Vancouver to many other cities, the festival is held in more than 100 countries.

When I came to Cincinnati (a city in the US) as an au pair (家庭打工留学生), a lot of things there were different from what I knew. My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a “castle”. In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom. Soon I found out that the “castle” was actually rather small in our neighborhood.

Everybody there was very friendly and polite. They greeted you when they were walking by at least 3 feet away from you. They must not have seen a German au pair before, for most people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany. I enjoyed answering their various strange questions. I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.

Of course, there were a number of new things, and it took me the whole year to find them all out. I never got homesick. Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative (负面的) experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.

However, I had undergone some painful experiences back in Germany. I was frustrated by the way people would run me over and not even say “Sorry.” Taking up my studies at the TU-Dresden, I felt lonely. Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn (离群的) and I missed everything I had in Cincinnati. Germany was so “cold”. I found it so much harder to make new friends. After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends. I also flew back to Cincinnati several times for long periods. I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.

Now I am over this German culture shock. It almost took me an entire year. I am still going back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.

24．When the author lived in Cincinnati, _______________.

A．some people were not very kind to her

B．many people were curious about her motherland

C．she lived in a real castle

D．she lived in the biggest house in the neighborhood

25．In the opinion of the author, life in Cincinnati was ________.

A．hard B．painful

C．wonderful D． strange

26．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the author?

A．She lived with her mother in a big house in Germany.

B．She did miss her friends in Cincinnati when she was at the TU-Dresden.

C．She never went back to Cincinnati after she came back to Germany.

D．She seldom hung out with her American friends as she was too busy.

27．What is the best title for this passage?

A．University life in Germany

B．Advantages of living in USA

C．My culture shock experience

D． How to be an au pair in USA

C

You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia’s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are eating more meat and drinking more soft drinks. That is totally different from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same amount of food, their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量) has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang.

Although on the whole Asians are often thin, culture — namely Asians’ hospitality (热情好客) — is a reason for the fatness of today’s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says, “Eating and drinking are important social and family activities.”In the past, however, big meals were only hosted for special events, as people were more careful with money. In today’s climate of wealth and high consumption (消耗), 10-course meals are no longer reserved for important times.

“In the past, people had four or more children — now, they have one or two, so they are likely to spoil them,” says Chwang. “The easiest way is to give them ‘quality food’. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin.”

When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says：“there is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don’t move, and in the end, they don’t want to move because they are fat.”

Because of technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke,” says Chwang.

28．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Asian children no longer follow their diet tradition.

B．Asian people now like to save more money.

C．Asian children eat big meals more often.

D．Culture leads to the fatness of Asian children.

29．According to the passage, the quality food fed by more parents is actually ________. A．healthful food B．qualified food

C．high-calorie food D．agreeable food

30．Some parents feel bad when their children look thin, because __________________. A．they feel that they are not wealthy enough to afford “quality food”

B．they feel that they don’t take good care of their children

C．the children don’t have a good physical condition

D．their children don’t love eating and drinking

31．The purpose of this article is to _________________.

A．compare the traditional diet with today’s diet of Asian children

B．find reasons for increased food consumption of Asian people

C．prove the relationship between fatness and indoor play

D．explain why many Asian children are overweight nowadays

D

Retirement (退休) should be time of joy and freedom. However, for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression (沮丧), which makes life difficult for them.

Retirement is a major life change. Even good changes usually involve some kinds of loss. When you retire, you find yourself lacking whatever working used to provide. That could include, for example, 1．knowing you’re working for society, 2．getting admiration from your skills, 3．having “aha” moments when you solve problems, 4．having people to socialize with, and 5．simply having a place to go and a reason to get out of bed every day. For most people, there’s a financial loss, too. Also, retirement age is a time when a lot of people have to deal with losing their parents or having serious health problems of their own.

Because of all these, retirees are more likely to get depressed.

Depression is very harmful. First, depression can make physical health problems worse. Second, it takes a toll on relationships, because it can make people angry. Third, it’s hard to getmuch done when you’re depressed.

What can we do to overcome (克服) the feelings of depression? First, do all the things that help depression in general：drink enough water, exercise, talk to friends, have a hobby, laugh, and spend time in nature. If you feel depressed more often than not, it’s probably time to talk to a doctor about your feelings. Second, it’s important to keep busy and get out of the house when you can. Make specific plans with friends. Take a class Volunteer. Or just make sure you start each day with some kind of goal. Third, try to focus on what you’ve gained by retiring. Think about what you may have now that you wished you had before you were able to retire. For example, days that are less stressful, a chance to rest and take better care of your body, more time for your family and yourself. To write, to start a hobby and to learn something new are all new possibilities. Finally, tell your story. You’ve lived a long time and you become an oral historian each time you talk with someone about your experiences. You can also write in a journal or make a video recording of your memories. Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements.

32．People may find life very hard after they retire because of ___________.

A．freedom B．nervousness

C．discouragement (losing heart) D．hard work

33．All the following can cause the retirees’ unpleasant feelings EXCEPT ____________.

A．they will suffer from financial loss

B．they have to support their parents

C．they may lose the reason to get up early

D．they may have fewer people to socialize with

34．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means ________________.

A．it makes people’s relationships unusual

B．it makes people’s relationships in peace

C．it makes people’s relationships in danger

D．it makes people stay in touch with each other.

35．What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Depression and Retirement

B．Depression During Retirement Is Harmful

C．Reasons for Depression During Retirement

D．How to Overcome Depression During Retirement
