Bibimbap FestivalIn the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.2. Waikiki Spam JamWho knew this canned meat had so much love? Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环). The people of Hawaii love Spam so much that they even spend a day in May giving out the best Spam, a type of cheap canned meat made mainly from pork.3. Bessieres Easter Egg FestivalAt Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet.Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) ---15,000 eggs strong --- for the townsfolk (市民).4. Potato Days FestivalThis festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota, the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five-and six-year-old girls.1.

Bibimbap FestivalB. Waikiki Spam JamC. Bessieres Easter Egg FestivalD. Potato Days FestivalBI remember watching my first rental (租赁的）movie when I was a kid. My aunt owned a video store and we borrowed a VHS copy of Poltergeist.In 2004, I was 33 years old, living in Bend and looking for a part-time job to help support our family. My best friend, Mary, a saleswoman at the Blockbuster, suggested I might like working with her at the Blockbuster, and I’ve been here ever since. Back then, there were five Blockbusters in Bend alone. The movie-rental business was at its peak (顶点): we were still storing VHS tapes but DVDs were also comingin, and both were doing well.When it became clear that DVD was going to replace VHS, I got very excited because those cassettes were so big and heavy. I often dropped them on my feet. Even then, I never dreamed I would end up managing the last store in town.For me, the best thing about this job is the people. I love chatting to customers and hearing their opinions on movies. Now I’m the manager, however. I have all kinds of other responsibilities, like handling mountains of paperwork. I’m a bit like an old policeman in a movie who hates the desk job and longs to go back to the beat (巡逻区域). I hate being the manager.The final store closures happened so fast. At the end of 2017, there were seven Blockbusters left in the US, but by early 2019 there was only our store and one other store in Australia, in the world. Since March when only our store remained, things have been crazy. The local community has been surprisingly supportive, and people have come from all over the world to rent movies: we’ve set up close to 5,000 new memberships. Most of them are regulars.I’ll be sad to see the end of video stores. We have several years left on our lease (租期）and, as long as we can continue to pay our staff, we’11 stay open. Becoming the last store has given the business a push and we’re selling Blockbuster souvenirs. I’ve watched enough movies to realize there’s an end to everything, but hopefully the ending of this story is a long way off.4.What can we learn about the Blockbuster?A.It was quite popular in the past.B. It was mainly found in America.C. It provided many part-time jobs for kids.D. It offered workers high salaries.5. What does the author think of the position as the Blockbuster’s manager?A. It’s troublesome.B. It’s low-paid.C. It’s boring.D. It’s challenging.6. Why does the author say things have been crazy since March?A. Because few people want to work in Blockbusters.B. Because many Blockbusters have broken down.C. Because VHS tapes and DVDs became hard to buy.D. Because their store became popular unexpectedly.CChoosing to forget something might take more mental effort than trying to remember it, researchers at The University of Texas discovered. Their findings suggest that in order to forget an unwanted experience, more attention should be focused on it.“Decades of research has shown that we have the ability to forget something out of our own free will, but how our brains do that is still being questioned. Once we can figure out how memories are weakened and come up with ways to control this, we can design treatment to help people rid themselves of unwanted memories said Jarrod Lewis-Peacock, the study's senior author.Memories are energetic constructions of the brain that regularly get updated, adjusted and reorganized through experience. The brain is constantly remembering and forgetting information—and much of this happens automatically during sleep.Their findings not only confirmed that humans have the ability to control what they forget, but that successful intentional forgetting requires more activity than what is required to remember.“A proper level of brain activity is important to this forgetting mechanism(机制). Too strong, it will strengthen the memory; too weak, you won’t change it,” said Tracy Wang, lead author of the study. “Importantly, it's the intention to forget that increases the activation of the memory, and when this activation (激活) hits the “proper level” sweet spot, that's when it leads to later forgetting of that experience”The researchers also found that participants were more likely to forget scenes than faces. “We're learning how these mechanisms in our brain respond to different types of information, and it will take a lot of further research before we understand how to use our ability to forget,” said Lewis-Peacock. “Hopefully we can find out how we process and get rid of those really strong memories, which can have a powerful effect on our health and well-being.”7. What remains a puzzle to researchers?A. How our memories can be strengthened.B. How our brains voluntarily forget something.C. What effect unwanted memories have on our brains.D. Whether our brains can voluntarily forget something.8. Which of the following words can best describe memories?A. Casual.B. Unpredictable.C. Active.D. Permanent.9. It can be learned from the text that ______.A. it requires less attention to forget than to rememberB. the more active the brain is, the faster it forgetsC. humans can't keep memories under controlD. humans forget faces less easily than scenes10. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. What It Takes to Forget an Unwanted ExperienceB. Strong Memories Have a Great Influence on HealthC. Forgetting Uses More Brain Power than Remembering .D. How to Train Our Brains to V oluntarily Forget SomethingⅡ. 七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)How to Deal with Travel Anxiety AbroadTravelling abroad offers many benefits.
