HanukkahHanukkah (光明节) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only enough holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil. At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.56.

DApril 1st is a day on which, in some countries, people try to play tricks on others, if one succeeds in tricking somebody, one laughs and says, “April fool!” and then the person who has been tricked usually laughs too.On April 1st, a country bus was going along a winding road when it slowed down and stopped.

Now, all of you lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready.”The passengers all obediently(顺从地) pressed back against their seats and waited anxiously.

Children need two to three kinds of vegetables every day. A simple way to get our children to eat vegetables is by eating them ourselves. Following our example, they may start eating vegetables themselves. Dont say things like, “If you eat your vegetables, you can have dessert.” These methods work for a little while but can possibly lead them to hate vegetables more. Give your children new varieties of foods which will help them develop a taste for trying new things. Sometimes the simple things just dont work. We have to start becoming a little creative to make our children eat vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when children are small, we will help them learn to love vegetables. Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example, cut up vegetables like carrots, cucumbers (黄瓜) and place them in a creative way on a plate for an afternoon snack. Or try using cheese sauce either by dipping the vegetables in it or by putting the cheese right on top of cooked or raw (生的) vegetables. If you prefer, you can also add a teaspoon of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to make them taste a little sweeter. Doing this shouldnt lead to a sweet tooth as long as you only give them a small amount. If you have children that refuse to eat vegetables, some of these suggestions Ive listed will help to turn that around. In the end, youre not only just getting them to eat vegetables, youre also helping them to live a healthier lifestyle. 72. The underlined word “them” (in Paragraph 2) refers to “_”.A. foods B. vegetables C. cheese D. nutrients73. According to the passage, all the following ways to get children to eat vegetables are creative EXCEPT _.A. preparing carrots in an attractive way B. adding some cheese sauce to vegetablesC. putting cheese on top of vegetables D. making vegetables much sweeter 74. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Children need to eat vegetables every day for their health.B. It is necessary to think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables.C. Sugar can make children keep a healthy diet.D. Parents should help children live a healthy lifestyle.75. The best title for the passage would probably be “_”.A. Vegetables are very important for childrens health B. How to make children eat more vegetables C. More and more children like eat
