Check out some wonderful festivals around the world.‎ Koningsdag --- The Netherland Kongingsdag or King’s Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is celebrated on 27 April ( 26 April if the 27th is a Sunday), the date marking the birth of King Willem-Alexander. Orange is the national color, and streets become a sea of feather boas(围巾) and body paint as crowds gather in the plazas and on the boats in the rivers. Amsterdam is the center of this outdoor party, with many live music events, but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day.‎ Thai National Elephant Day --- ‎Thailand Thai National Elephant Day is a national holiday in Thailand. Thai National Elephant Day has been celebrated on March 13th of every year since 1998. Because the elephant is the national animal of Thailand, it is highly respected and treasured. During the festivals elephants are honored during a ceremony in which they are fed with bananas, other fruit, and sugarcane.‎ The Fire Festival --- Shetland On the last Tuesday of January the entire town of Lerwick, Shetland is in flames. At the festival, you’ll find yourself sitting, dancing, or stumbling around the largest bonfire you’ve never seen in your life. The festival lasts only one day but takes the entire year to plan. Be prepared for an evening of singing, dancing, and fast paced activities, and don’t worry about making it to work next day ------ it’s a national holiday !‎ Holi ---‎India Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. On the last full moon day of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of bright-colored powder. The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common throughout Hindu communities around the world.‎ 21.

Where should you go if you are interested in the Festival of Colors?‎ A. India‎ B. Shetland C. Thailand D. The ‎Netherlands B How many calories are there in every meal you eat? That seems like a difficult question to answer. But students at Aitkin High School in the United States can easily answer it now. They put what they eat into an online calorie counter（计算器）. It quickly measures the amount of calories in their meals.‎ In fact, this is part of the school’s health class. It includes heart health, nutrition and fitness. Students can learn basic knowledge about fats, proteins, calories and sugar.‎ Students learn how to balance calories in and out. They will know what happens when the balance isn’t there. “The online calorie counter has turned out to be a cool tool to help you make healthy choices. Making one healthy eating decision can really make a difference.” Adam Carlson, the teacher in charge, told local newspaper Aitkin Independent Age.‎ They also discuss good ways to burn calories in the gym. According to Carlson, the gym is a great place to burn calories and get stronger. But it doesn’t work for everyone. So they try to find different workout tips. “I’m trying hard to teach the students that working out can be fun, challenging, and doesn’t need to take hours out of the day,” she said.‎ The class has indeed changed students. “I am now watching what I am eating and pay attention to the food labels,” said seventh-grader Karena Burgstaler. Another student James Erickson began to control his sugar input because it almost went over his daily calorie intake goal.‎ ‎24.After taking the health class, the students ______.‎ A. pay more attention to food prices B. eat more food with labels C. try to keep a balanced diet D. stop eating sugary food ‎25.What do we know about the students from the first two paragraphs?‎ A. They try to cook healthy food with fewer calories.‎ B. They learn about health and nutrition from a class.‎ C. They create a popular online calorie counter.‎ D. They teach people about food nutrition in class.‎ ‎26.Which of the following will Adam Carlson agree with?‎ A. Calories matter more than protein. B. Fewer calories means better health.‎ C. The calorie counter doesn’t help. D. Healthy eating habits are important.‎ ‎27. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Eating with an online calorie counter B. Counting calories to stay healthy C. Opinions on how to balance your diet D. A health class at ‎Aitkin‎ ‎High School C.‎ What are your retirement plans? Keep working? Get more exercise? Or learn something new? You may put them on hold. There is a chance that, sooner or later, you might have to move further than you were thinking, as far as Mars.‎ On Thursday, National Geographic will show the first-ever Mars show home, giving earthings(地球人) an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet. In the not-so-distant year of 2037, the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.‎ It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognizable --- a kitchen, a bedroom --- but there are fundamental differences that are important to human survival.‎ As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundred as thick as Earth’s , people will need permanent (永久的) shelter from the sun; society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and houses won’t have windows. The homes will have stimulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been bent several times.‎ Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick, to protect people from dangerous rays(光线) that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double air-locked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.‎ ‎“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your house will be a survival centre,” says Stephen Petranek, author of How We’ll Live on Mars. This is not just the stuff of sci-fi. “10 to 20 years from now there will certainly be people on Mars,” Petranek says.‎ ‎“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars, but we haven’t had the will,” Petranek says. But two main factors have “completely swung public attitudes”.‎ The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game, and influential films such as Gravity and The Martian have caught society’s eye.‎ 28. What can we know about the show home from the text?‎ A. It has no windows or doors due to security concern.‎ B. Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.‎ C. It has thick walls keeping the home under proper pressure.‎ D. Its underground passages connect all the buildings together.‎ 29. What do the underlined words “put them on hold” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A. Put them off B. Give them away C.Carry them through D. Take them seriously ‎30. According to Petranek, what has sped up the process of sending people to Mars?‎ A. The great influence of the Mars show home.‎ B. The development of related technology.‎ C. The competition from private companies.‎ D. The popularity of influential books on Mars.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Living on Mars: Possible or Not ‎ B. Sending People to Mars: Yes or No C. First-ever Show Home: How Is It Made ‎ D. Future Home on Mars: What Will It Be Like D New Zealand‎, which is a beautiful beach country, draws many people looking for a new life. Its cities are considered as some of the best places to live in the world, and with a population of only 4.4 million there remain plenty of untouched lands to explore and enjoy.‎ The big draw for modern-day visitors is the country's beautiful scenery and natural wonders. Sailing, surfing, hiking, camping and any outdoor activity you know can be done in New Zealand. With an increasing number of visitors arriving every year, environmentalists and the government are concerned about protecting the nature.‎ Auckland‎ is the largest city in New Zealand, with a population of 1.5 million.

These are the areas seeing the highest home prices in the country.‎ At the south of the North Island sits Wellington, the capital and diplomatic centre of the country, built in the hills above the Cook Strait that separates the North Island from the South Island. It has the country's best public transport, Metlink, and considers itself the coolest city in New Zealand.‎ ‎“No matter where we live, beach culture has always been a big part of our culture," said Shane Mason. "It's pretty common to leave town during the summer and spend Christmas and New Year at the beach." "New Zealand is a good place to visit and a great place to live," said Mason, who now lives in Berlin. "I've discovered there is no place like home.”‎ ‎32.
