In the evening, people went into the streets with all kinds of lanterns, watching lion or dragon dances, eating yuanxiao and setting off firecrackers.The festival also provided a chance for unmarried young girls t o go out freely in search of their true love, since they weren’t normally allowed to do so. The famous Song Dynasty poet Ouyang Xiu recorded this romantic tradition with the well-known line: “Atop the willow tree hangs the moon; my date comes in the evening soon.”1. Besides eating yuanxiao, what other tradition is popular during Lantern Festival?A. Setting off fireworks.B. Solving riddles on lanterns.C. Watching movies.D. Eating mooncakes.2.

True or False.When I was a little girl, my mum and dad told me, "If you plant something in spring, you'll get more in autumn. "I believed this without doubt (怀疑).At the age of six, while I was eating a big apple, something hard pressed against my tongue. Ispat (吐出) it out. It was a tooth.I was so frightened that I cried and rushed to my grandma's room. She held the tooth and said, "Don't worry, dear. It's a baby tooth. You will have a new tooth in a few months. ""A new tooth?" I felt very surprised."Yes, you will have that tooth if you get old, so you must protect your new tooth well. When you grow old, the tooth will fall out again, but at that time, it won't grow again. So it's not easy for the old to eat something," Grandma said.I went out of Grandma's room and thought, "Where should I put the dropped tooth?"Suddenly a wonderful thought came into my mind: Why not plant it in the ground? If I took good care of it, maybe it would become a big tree. When spring came, there would be many white and strong teeth in the tree. I could pick them and send them to old people who needed them. Then they could eat well and always open their mouths with a smile full of beautiful teeth.Of course my tooth didn't grow into a big tree, but the beautiful dream made my childhood warm and unforgettable.()1.

Prawns (对虾) are known as "shrimps". American beef is usually good and often wonderful.You have probably heard that in American restaurants, if you can't finish your meal, you can put the food left in a "doggy bag" and take it home.

In Calcutta we cook for 7, 000 hungry people everyday. If we don't cook, they have nothing to eat. And so these young people gave me this money. I asked them, "Where did you get so much money?" They answered, "Before we mar-ried--we got marriedjust two days ago--we decided that we would not buy wedding clothes, and we would not have the wedding breakfast. Instead, we would give you the money to feed the people. "And I asked them, "But why? Why did you do that?"
