Most Americans think of New Year as a single day on January lst. However, Chinese-Americans and people from other 1.(culture) that use different calendars each have another celebration as well. A good example of this is the Chinese New Year celebration in San Francisco, which is similar to 2. we do in Shanghai.
The most famous part of Chinese New Year in San Francisco is the parade, which 3.(watch) by over three million people every year. Over a hundred entries take part in the parade 4.(march) through downtown and Chinatown. In the course of the parade, cheering from the crowd is mixed 5. music as local community groups wave banners, flags, and carry lanterns. Chinese themed floats will “float” by, including 6. long Golden Dragon float that 7.(take) one hundred people to operate. Local kung fu schools will perform lion dances when firecrackers explode around their feet.
For many Americans, celebrating 8. (they) ancestral culture is as 9. (importance) as American culture, and they celebrate both. If you have a chance 10. (visit) the United States, you may have the chance to see some of the celebrations yourself.

Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership (伙伴关系) which is good for both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustmen”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
1.We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for______.
A. food B. light
C. oxygen D. comfort
2.Some birds like to sit on a sheep because _______.
A. they enjoy travelling with the sheep
B. they can eat the parasites on the sheep
C. they depend on the sheep for existence
D. they find the position most comfortable
3.The underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refers to ____.
A. birds and sheep B. birds and parasites
C. parasites and sheep D. sheep, birds and parasites
4.What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. Some animals live better together.
B. Some plants depend on each other for food.
C. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
D. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence

We often just use our sense of sight, touch, smell, and taste to eat food. But what about our sense of hearing? Does sound also affect our dining experience?
A new report answers, “yes, it does.”
That answer comes from researchers at Brigham Young University and Colorado State University in the United States. They found that hearing is important in the eating experience.
Hearing is often called “the forgotten food sense”, says Ryan Elder. Elder is an assistant professor of marketing at Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Management. He says that if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less. On the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating.
For the study, the researchers wanted to test whether the sounds of eating—chewing, chomping and crunching—had any effect on how much a person ate. During the experiments, the test subjects wore headphones and listened to noise at either a high or low audio level. Then researchers gave them a crunchy snack: pretzels. The study found that subjects who listened to the higher volume noise ate more pretzels than those with the low audio levels.
Elder says that when hiding I heard sounds of eating, like when you watch television or listen to loud music while eating, we take away the sense of hearing. And this may cause you to eat more than you would normally. The researchers are calling this, the “crunch effect”.
The researchers admit that the effects may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month or a year, all that food can really add up.
1.Which sense is often ignored in the eating experience?
A. Sight. B. Smell.
C. Hearing. D. Touch.
2.Who would find this article helpful?
A. People who enjoys cooking food.
B. People who cares about losing weight.
C. People who like watching TV.
D. People who want to eat healthy food.
3.Why the researchers use “pretzels”?
A. They can make loud noise. B. They are delicious.
C. They are more available D. They are good for health.
4.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Be Mindful of Whatever You Eat
B. Be Sensitive to Your Eating habits
C. Want to Lose Weight? Listen to yourself Eat
D. Better Hear Than Eat

Exposed soil isn’t part of nature’s master plan. Good examples where soil is naturally found with no plants growing in are beneath freshly removed trees, or where the ground has been burnt by a land fire. In these situations bare soil isn’t bare for long; within days seedlings (芽) begin to appear and cover the ground. In a few months’ time, the scar is hardly noticeable.
Unlike these natural examples, ploughed (耕犁) fields and freshly dug gardens are obvious examples created by man. But, left to nature, even these bare soils soon turn green with a large number of tiny seedlings. In fields, gardens and on grasslands, roadside and sports fields, along streets and on paths and pavements, we are constantly battling to stop weeds from growing. All we are doing is stop the recovering powers of nature.
Whenever soil is exposed, weeds act like a kind of medicine to reduce the potentially harmful rays of the sun, so the sooner plant growth covers the soil over again, the better.
Weeds also help to improve the fertility (肥沃) of the soil. Their roots get the soil together, improving its structure and creating a more stable environment in which soil life can grow fast. Those weeds with a deep root draw up plant nutrients from deeper in the ground, making them available to plants growing near the soil surface. Above ground, the stems (茎) of weeds help trap fallen leaves which break down into the soil, adding to the fertility of the soil.
As the soil becomes more fertile, different kinds of plants start to replace the “pioneering” weeds. Bushes move in to take the place by gradually shading them out, followed in turn by trees, which eventually push up through the bushes, finally shading them out too. Fallen leaves from the bushes and trees carry on the job of building soil fertility that was begun by those very first weeds that grew on the bare soil. Then, when one of these mature trees is removed in a storm, leaving a wound of bare soil in the earth, the whole process starts again.
1.When will soil be left bare?
A. A land fire has just happened. B. A young tree is planted in.
C. No one ploughs the land. D. No crops are planted in.
2.Which of the following prevents the bare soil from recovering?
A. Seedlings appearing in gardens.
B. Reducing harmful rays of the sun.
C. Removing weeds from pavements.
D. Replacing plants in sports fields.
3.What can weeds do for the soil?
A. They create soil life.
B. They help improve the soil.
C. They get nutrients from the sun.
D. They break down fallen leaves.
4.How can the soil remain fertile after trees move in?
A. By adding more weeds to the soil.
B. By taking out the weeds constantly.
C. By removing the previous bushes.
D. By making use of the fallen leaves.
