【题目】 In Britain.Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th,which is the following day after Christmas Day.However,strictly speaking.Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas.Like Christmas Day.Boxing Day sing a public holiday.This means it’s a non﹣working day in the whole of Britain.When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday,the following Monday is the public holiday.
The exact origin(起源)of the holiday is unclear.One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages,when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land,a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父)on each ship.Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box.It wassealed upand kept on board until the ship came home safely.Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing.The priest wouldn’t open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the“Alms Box”placed in every church on Christmas Day.Worshippers (做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it.These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas,that is why that day became know as Boxing Day.
Today,many businesses,organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating(捐赠)their time,services and money to aid Food Banks,providing gifts for the poor,or helping families in need.Besides,spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.

【题目】
SpaceX made history two months ago by launching the world's most powerful rocket to Mars.
Falcon Heavy,the 230ft rocket, successfully launched from Cape Canaveral-the same station where NASA sent man to the moon almost 50 years ago.
There were no humans on the Falcon Heavy-but it's not without a passenger.Founder of SpaceX. Elon Musk, sent one of his Tesla Car along for the ride with a human shape model called “Starman” sitting on the driver's seat.
For now.the world is very excited by the successful launch of the rocket .Elon musk suggested the space trip could just become the greatest firework show ever seen .If it went wrong.the rocket actually managed to lift off.
Why is there all this excitement?
Watching live streams of an electric car floating in spare, while the extra engines that carried it there softly land themselves back on Earth.it's hard not lo feel that we re living in the future.
Where is all this leading?
Falcon Heavy is a great piece of work ,by the researchers at SpaceX. It's not the most powerful rocket ever made, and NASA's Space Launch System will beat it when it finally launches.But it runs very cheaply,for a rocket; the fact that it can be re-used, at relatively little expense. could launch an exciting future of much more regular space launches.
The set of Mr.Musk's own car in the rocket is a sign of the real reason This launch is such a big deal: it is being done by a man with talent, and the strong wish to make people talk about him and what hes doing.There s no reason for the car to be going to space except for a talking point-indeed, the rocket could carry some important scientific instruments instead-but when viewed as a show for a private space company which hopes to be the future of personal space travel, everything becomes more reasonable .The idea behind that plan is that it makes such space trip much cheaper, since private companies can develop and build the rockets.The companies can then increase the money they may earn with other private satellite launches and other work, cutting down the cost of space travel.
【1】What did the rocket carry to space?
A.A car with nothing.B.A car with a human driver.
C.A car with a model.D.A car with a human passenger.
【2】What is people's opinion about this space trip to Mars?
A.They are excited about it.B.Few of them know about the space trip.
C.They don't like the idea of the space trip.D.They are worried about the high price of the space trip.
【3】What does the underlined word “it”in paragraph 8 refer to?
A.NASAB.Falcon Heavy.C.SpaceX company.D.Mr Musk's own car.
【4】According to the passage, Elon Musk sent a car to the space in order to__________.
A.test his new car.B.help carry important scientific tools.
C.raise the price of the private space trip.D.let more people know about him and his work.
【5】The passage can be best described as a(n)__________.
