  Lillan Hanson, a college junior, expects to graduate in about two years.Mrs Hanson, a rather unusual student, plans to go on to take more courses after she gets her degree.What makes Mrs Hanson different from most of her classmates?

  What sets Lillian Hanson apart from the college crowd is her age-73 years.She has been going to college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.

  When Mrs Hanson graduated from high school, she went to her local bank and asked for a loan for college tuition and fees.The banker gave her no encouragement.He didn't think that country girl should be borrowing money to go to college.He thought she should be home doing work in the house or around the farm.So Mrs Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college.She still loves with her husband on the farm that has been in the family for five generations.

  Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education.When her children were grown, she tried again.

  She finds the hardest part of going back to school at her age is to be sitting in class for long periods of time, because she is not as agile as she used to be.Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks around between classes to keep her joints from getting stiff.At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all gave Mrs Hanson a warm round of applause when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her goals were.

  The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.

  The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest-time.The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere.The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities.Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood(茱萸)and drinking chrysanthemum(菊花)wine have become the traditional activities of the festival.

  The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance(香气),and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine.People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill(寒意)in late autumn.So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries.But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities, do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like.

  Early in Han Dynasty, about 2000 years ago, people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival.For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter.The custom evolved(发展成)into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercises as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.

  But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain?The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes.The Chinese word for“cake”is“Gao”, a homony of the Chinese word for“high”.Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb.

(1)

Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on Chongyang Festival?

[  ]

A.

Because the dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance.

B.

Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine.

C.

Because the dogwood has a long history as a medicine.

D.

Because people believed the dogwood could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from chill.

(2)

[  ]

A.

Wang Wei’s

B.

Li Bai’s

C.

Du Fu’s

D.

Bai Juyi’s

(3)

People now climb mountains on the Chongyang Festival ________.

[  ]

A.

B.

C.

D.

(4)

People living in plains far from mountains eat cakes because ________.

C.
