The traditional holiday is the most important to Chinese both home and abroad.
United Kingdom
Celebrations for Spring Festival in the UK started in 1980, with the first evening party held in 2002. Every new year, people get together and have a lot of activities. They sing songs, dance to music, share photos with friends or enjoy films in a cinema.
United States
Spring Festival has become a key time for Chinese living or working in the US. They join in a large evening party to welcome the traditional new year. It is a good chance for people to build a circle of friends and feel that they are not alone because they share the same culture and values.
Australia
The Chinese new year will be welcomed with three weeks of celebrations across Australia. Many people come to Sydney's Chinatown or Little Bourke in Melbourne. They enjoy fireworks, lion dances, dragon boat races and many other traditional activities. The celebrations are also a bridge towards better understanding between Chinese and non-Chinese.
Singapore
The family dinner on new year's eve is an important tradition for Chinese whether they were born in Singapore or moved there from China. They place traditional food on a table as an act of remembering their past. Then the whole family enjoy their dinner together. They usually hold it at home because having it in a restaurant takes away the meaning of the tradition.

Being able to count at least ten people as friends makes us happy, but those with five or fewer are likely to be miserable, researchers say. Their study of hundreds of men and women also found t hat people who feel satisfied with their lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones. While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy, the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships. Psychologist RichardTunney said, “Whatever the reason is, actively working on friendships in the same way as to maintain a marriage is a prerequisite(必备条件) to happiness. ”Dr. Tunney, of Nottingham University, quizzed more than 1,700 people about their satisfaction with their lives and the state of their friendships. Those with five friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy. In other words they were more likely to be unhappy than happy. Ten was the first number at which people were more likely to be happy than unhappy. The happiest people were those with dozens of friends, according to the study, which was carried out for the National Lottery(彩票).
For women, this meant having 33 friends;for men, the number was 49. Dr. Tunney said,“People who were extremely satisfied with their lives had twice the number of friends of people who were extremely dissatisfied. ” Women tended to have fewer friends than men but formed tighter relationships. Interestingly, the study found that childhood friends are no more likely to make us happy than people we become close to later in life. Lottery winners, however, have a differentopinion on life. They are always happier than others despite spending their time with asmall circle of old friends. This could be because they trust people they’ve known for along time.
1.What’s the best title for this passage?
A. The Secret to Happiness Is to Make New Friends
B. Having at Least 10 Good Friends Makes People Happy
C. Why Most People Like to Make Friends Regularly
D. Men’s and Women’s Friends Are Different
2.Which of the following opinions may Richard Tunney NOT agree with?
A. People with few friends are sure to be unhappy.
B. Our friends can make us happy.
C. Happiness may come from a good marriage life.
D. We may become happier if we have more friends.
3.According to the passage, lottery winners ________.
A. enjoy making new friends
B. make new friends easily
C. like staying with old friends
D. have no time to make friends
4.We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A. it’s enough for one person to have ten friends
B. unhappy people must have few friends
C. childhood friends make people happier than adulthood ones
D. friendships play a major role in people’s life

1.less red meat and more fibre, less saturated fat (饱和脂肪) and more fruit and vegetables, right? Wrong, according to a controversial new book by nutritionist Zoe Harcombe. In the book, Harcombe charts her careful journey of research into studies that underpin (巩固) dietary advice—and her myth(误区)—breaking conclusions are surprising.
Myth2..
“Real fat is not bad for us,” says Harcombe. It’s man-made fats that we should be demonizing. Why do we have this idea that meat is full of saturated fat? In a 100g pork chop, there is 2.3g of unsaturated fat and 1.5g of saturated fat.
Myth: We should eat more fibre.
For three decades, we have eaten fibre into our bodies to help us feel full and keep our digestive systems moving. 3. , says Harcombe. The advice to eat more fibre is put forward along with the theory that we need to clean our digestive systems. But essential minerals are absorbed from food while it is in the intestines(肠道), so why do we want to wash everything out? Concentrate on not putting bad food in.
Myth: You need to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. “Five-a-day is the most well-known piece of nutritional advice,” says Harcombe. “You’d think it was based on firm evidence of health benefit. 4. .” Five-a-day started as a marketing campaign by 25 fruit and vegetable companies and the American National Cancer Institute in 1991. There was no evidence for any cancer benefit.
Myth: Fruit and vegetables are the most nutritious things to eat.
Apparently not. Harcombe allows that vegetables are a great addition to the diet—if served in butter to deliver the fat-soluble(dissolved) vitamins they contain—but natural sugar in fruit, goes straight to the liver and is stored as fat.
5., says Harcombe, who adds, “Vitamins and minerals in animal foods—meat, fish, eggs and dairy products—beat those in fruit.”
A. Want to lose weight? Don’t trust these
B. We think we know what to eat
C. This is not a good idea
D. Fat is bad for us
E. Think again
F. We need to take more exercise
G Fruit is best avoided by those trying to lose weight

There is no doubt about it.The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously.I don’t mean while you’re unconscious.I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.
That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world, mother tongue.I just pick them up.But some of them may be misunderstood.Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand.To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.
The 5 % mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt.Some of the misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong.
Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning.They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game.“There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” they will say.“You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context.”
This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work.It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.
And what’s more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves.Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings.A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.
Don’t guess! Look it up!
1.It is certain that the best way to learn new words is _____________.
A.to learn them by oneself
B.to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequently
C.to guess them from the context
D.to get more separate meanings of each word
2.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A.the 30,000 words B.English teachers

3.Which of the following is most likely NOT true?

B.Most of the 30,000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.
C.How many words the writer got wrong are not known.
D.All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.
4.It can be inferred that _________.
A.when somebody is conscious, he or she usually can’t learn new words by heart
B.we must use the words as often as possible in order to master them
C.it’s the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the context
D.only dictionaries can help us learn language well
