The name of the festival comes from the Arabic month in which it is celebrated. Ramadan is celebrated in countries all over the world, especially in Africa and the Middle East. The time for celebrating Ramadan varies each year. People celebrate it in the ninth month of the Arabic lunar calendar. During Ramadan, people must not eat during the day: from when the sun comes up to when the sun goes down, people celebrating Ramadan will not eat or smoke. When the sun has gone down, however, the celebration begins. People often stay up all night eating, singing and dancing.‎ Easter ‎    In late spring, many people around the world celebrate Easter. The festival is a celebration of spring and it is also a religious holiday. It is the time for Easter bunnies and egg hunts, and of course for eating lots of delicious foods. Easter is celebrated in late March or early April but the exact dates are different from year to year. People celebrate Easter in different ways: in some countries, the Easter Bunny-a big rabbit-will visit people and children will go on egg hunts, looking for eggs and candy that have been hidden by their parents. In other countries, Easter is a time for children to dress up like witches and go from door to door asking for candy---much like Halloween in the US. The Easter Bunny and the Easter Egg are popular symbols of the festival.‎ ‎1.The word Ramadan is the name of _________.‎ A.a person B.a town C.a holy book D.a month ‎2.Ramadan and Easter are_________.‎ A.festivals celebrated in Asia and Africa B.the only festivals that people like to celebrate C.festivals celebrated by people all over the world D.two names of the year ‎ ‎ 3.During Ramadan, people do not ____________ during the day.‎ A.sleep B.sing C.talk D.eat ‎4.The two main popular symbols of Easter are the ________ and the ________.‎ A.Easter Bunny, Easter egg B.Easter Bunny, Easter tree C.Easter Man, Easter tree D.Easter Man, Easter egg B Letter One Dear Editor,‎ ‎    After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends. Sometimes I play computer games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer. Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and computer games harm children. Once I went to a net bar(网吧) to play games after school. But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didn't want to make them unhappy. I feel bad about it. However, I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time. I really want my parents to understand that. Do foreign parents do the same to their children? Please help me.‎ Li Ping, Beijing Letter Two Dear Li Ping,‎ ‎    I don't think it's strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time,or like your parents,they don't want their children to play computer games.‎ ‎    Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It's never good to do things behind your parents. They aren't fools as you think sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us.‎ ‎    Remember: to be honest is the best way.‎ Good luck,‎ Rebecca ‎ ‎ ‎5.From the passage we can learn that Li Ping often _______.‎ A.talks with his friends on the Internet B.plays basketball after school C.plays computer games at home ‎ D.chats online before homework ‎6.The boy goes online _______.‎ A.to get news on QQ B.just to have a rest C.to show he hates study D.to make new friends ‎7.The underlined sentence in Letter Two means “___________”‎ A.You must do everything in front of your parents B.You must always listen to your parents carefully C.You should not do anything that makes your parents worry about you D.You should tell your parents what you do before or after doing it ‎8.The editor thinks _________.‎ A.children should play computer games in the net bar secretly.

All my friends, in middle school went to other schools. I wanted to make some new friends. However, I was shy and wasn’t good at making new friends.‎ ‎    On my first day at school, I looked at others who were talking in groups happily. How I wish I were one of them! I guess I was very lucky then. At lunch in the dinning hall, when I was eating at a table alone, a girl came to me. “Excuse me, is this seat taken?” she asked. I immediately shook my head. She smiled and sat down opposite to me. I felt a little awkward and didn't know what to say at all, but I really wanted to communicate with her. It was a good opportunity to make friends, with her. When I looked up, I found she was smiling at me. Her smile calmed me down. “I really like this school. It’s beautiful, but I don't know anyone here. All my friends went to other schools,” said the girl. Hearing her words, I immediately said, “My friends are not here either. Can we be friends?” I was surprised. I couldn't believe I would say something like that, and to my surprise, that girl immediately said “yes”. We both smiled. We became very good friends.‎ ‎    Now it’s the beginning of a new term again. Many students may have no friends at their new schools. If you are also as shy as I used to be, please don’t be afraid to talk to others. You may get a surprise and make a new friend.

I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).‎ ‎    I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使…放心) me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.‎ ‎    Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.‎ ‎    After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”‎ ‎    I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎13 The author had to hitch a ride one clay in 1978 because         .‎ A.her work delayed her trip to Sydney B.she was going home for her holidays C.the town was far away from Sydney D.she missed the only train back home ‎14 Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?‎ A.He helped the girl find a ride. B.He gave the girl a ride back home. C.He bought sandwiches for the girl.

B.Those who give rides will be repaid. C.Good manners bring about happiness. D.People should offer free rides to others.‎ ‎ E ‎ We stopped to choose a cake for our daughter. We’d passed several other elderly custom­ers but our daughter, Norah seemed drawn to a man. Her face lit up like the sun and she waved excitedly saying, “Hi, old person! It’s my birthday today!” “Hello, little lady! And how old are you today?” He asked. They chatted for a few seconds.‎ ‎    We said goodbye and carried on shopping. A few minutes later, Norah asked me, “Can I take a picture with the old man for my birthday?” I thought he couldn’t have gone very far. So we quickly found him. “Excuse me, sir? She*d like to know if you*d take a photo with her for her birthday,” I asked. He looked surprised and then happy. uA ‎ photo? With me?” He asked. “Yes! For my birthday!” Norah cheered. And so they posed together and then they hugged each other like they were long lost friends.‎ ‎    We thanked Mr Dan for sparing a few minutes of his day with us. He teared up and said, “No, thank you. This is the best day I’ve had in a long time. You’ve made me feel so happy and valuable, Ms Norah.”‎ ‎    Now, Norah and Mr Dan often visit each other. While they don’t, Norah makes sure to call him at least once a week. Norah worried about Mr Dan being alone and brought Mr Dan a dog on his 82nd birthday. Mr Dan said that his meeting with Norah helped to heal (治愈) his broken heart as he was having a difficult time before he met Norah that day. Sometimes talking to strangers turns into the most beautiful thing in the world.‎ ‎17 How did Norah know Mr Dan?‎ A.By appointment. B.By telephone. C.By meeting in a store accidentally.

B.He found a true friend. C.He no longer felt lonely. D.He felt he was valued. 20 Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
