Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, Londons Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns (灯笼), previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (杂技), martial arts (武术), dance and opera nearby.San FranciscoSan Franciscos Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capitals Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.MauritiusFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nations rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the streets.21.

Rue Royale in Port Louis, Mauritius.B. the Sunday market in Bangkok.C. the Grant Avenue in San Francisco. D. the Chinese community in London.BHave you ever thought of quitting your job when you feel exhausted? Maybe most of you would say “yes”. After a particularly busy period at work, I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France. Before I left, I read an interesting story in a magazine. It read, “Once, while I was riding on a crowded bus, the man sitting next to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang. I was surprised. He looked at me, shrugged (耸耸肩) and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it, because it clearly troubled him. ” Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones are a wonderful way for communication, they often do the exact opposite. Using cell phones can increase stress within families and friends. So when I recently returned home, I got rid of my cell phone. Now I go outside without taking my phone with me. Ive noticed things in my neighborhood I never noticed before, such as gardens. Ive met new people, started conversations with neighbors I didnt speak to before and talked with some of my friends face to face instead of chatting over the phone. Instead of keeping me off from the world, stopping using my cell phone has helped me get even closer to my family and friends.24. According to the story, the man on the bus threw away his cell phone because _.A. it didnt work properlyB. it was stolen from someone elseC. he didnt like the phones styleD. he didnt want to be bothered by it25. We can learn from the passage that cell phones _.A. are too expensive for many peopleB. are of no use to the authorC. can also get people into troubleD. can make life more interesting26. What can we learn about the author?A. He wants to own a garden now.B. He always chatted with his neighbors.C. He used to take his cell phone when going outside.D. He once threw away his cell phone.27. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. tell us not to let cell phones control our livesB. encourage others to hike with him in FranceC. share his experiences in France with usD. teach us how to get along with neighborsCBlack Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although its not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called “Boxing Day”.Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation in recent years. Since 2005, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers (零售商) routinely open their doors as early as 4 a.m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that theyll be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.Businesses, however, didnt like the negative tone associated with the “Black Friday” name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to circulate. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms (会计行业), operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just dont want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday (网络星期一) for the many online deals.28. On Black Friday, the Americans _.A. dont have to go to work as usualB. look exactly like the CanadiansC. are usually busy doing shoppingD. stay at home and relax themselves29. The underlined word “lure” (in Paragraph 2) probably means _.A. protectB. attract C. persuadeD. remind30. How do the retailers understand Black Friday?A. It is totally different from Boxing Day.B. They usually lose some money on the day.C. It never keeps them very busy.D. It probably brings them more money.31. The author writes this passage in order to _.A. state the development of Cyber MondayB. tell the difference between red and blackC. introduce Black Friday to the readersD. explain the meaning of Boxing DayDIs going on holiday of any benefit? New research shows that going on holiday makes you not only feel good while youre there but also gain the health benefits for months. Jetting off to destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed. Experts say workers should always take their holiday entitlement (权利) each year, but as many as one in three dont. The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with those in people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent. The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress, known as the stress-resilience test, improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress-resilience scores among workers. Tests showed fallen blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, reduced risk of diabetes (糖尿病), trimmer waistlines and improved mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home. The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UKs largest healthcare charity.32. According to the passage, how many people go on holiday? AOne third.BTwo thirds. C17 percent.DA quarter.33.Which of the following can we infer from the passage?AThe further you go, the better you get the benefits.BMost people like to stay at home during the holiday. CThe result of the study is mostly based on the description from the people involved. DHolidaymakers are more likely to be healthier than non-holidaymakers.34.The author intends to tell us that _.Awe have to go on holiday as much as possibleByoull certainly get depressed if you dont go on holidayCwe had better go on holiday for the benefits of our healthDit is best to go to foreign countries like Maldives35.The best title of the passage is _.

Maybe youre in school and just want to get a better grade on a test. 36 Here are some ways you can go about boosting your brainpower. Sleep is one of the easiest things to do, yet one of the ones that most of us dont do. We live in a busy age and often it seems that we dont have enough time to get everything done. So many of us sacrifice our hours of sleep to accomplish our daily tasks. 37 Read a book. Being smarter is not only about thinking but knowledge plays a big part in it, too. Reading helps your brain stay active. 38 Think of it as exercise for the brain.Try turning off that television set and going for a walk. A walk will stimulate your body and relax your mind. Just as watching too much TV can hurt your body, it also causes your brain to slow down as well. 39 There is a big difference between knowing something and being able to teach it to someone else. There is nothing like trying to break something down into simpler terms for others to help you understand it better than you did before.Work on a puzzle. It can be anything from the newspaper crossword or the new Sudoku puzzle. Puzzles help you use your brain to figure out the answers. 40 Your brain needs exercise just like your body does to be able to function in top form. So go out there and boost your brainpower, your mind will thank you.A. Learn something new and then teach someone else how to do it. B. By writing about things you know, it helps you to understand them better.C. Crossword puzzles also have the added benefit of increasing your vocabulary and knowledge. D. Maybe you want to show your boss that you are good enough to get a promotion.E. Giving your body the rest it needs every night can boost your ability to function at your best the next day.F.
