These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. Its also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. Its not the value of the gift that is important, but “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.21. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up.22. What can we learn from the passage?A. Both festivals are in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parents.D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.23. What do you know about “carnation” in the paragraph 2? _.A. It has three kinds of color.B. It refers to the special people on Mothers Day.C. Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear them only on the second Sunday in May.24. On Mothers Day and Fathers Day _.A. people usually have family partiesB. everyone goes to the cemeteryC. children always go to parents homeD. hand-made cards are not the most valuable giftsBIn Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射)so that they wont carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit peoples houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a feeding place for birds in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be that their family ties(家庭关系) are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely, but pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.25. The passage mainly talks about_.A. how to keep disease from pets B. pets in Canada C. how to take good care of pets D. life of the old in Canada26.

She won her first songwriting contest at 15.May didnt always want to be a singer. In fact, at the National University of Singapore, May studied communications and English literature, planning to become a reporter. But upon graduation, her calling to do music was so strong that she decided to study in America at Berklee College of Music. In 1999, after graduating from Berklee, May went to Los Angeles. She still lives there with her music producer husband, Kavin, and daughter, Claire.In 2001 at the age of 28, May released (发行) her first album, “Corrinne May” and won an award. Since then, she has produced four more albums. Mays university education turned out to be excellent preparation for writing music. She may not have become a reporter, but she learned to find material for her songs about daily life. Her understanding of literature also added beauty to her lyrics.One personal turning point for May came in 2007 when she had a small heart operation. After that, she “began to look deeper into things I had once ignored.”Mays song “Beautiful Seed” grew out of this. The song encourages people to go after their dreams and compares every person to a seed with the ability to change the world and her experiences have changed her from a “beautiful seed” into the artist she is today.32.
