Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation or commencement day（毕业典礼）Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks in advance. Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation. The members of school clubs build booths（摊位） and sell lemonade（柠檬）, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors. During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school. Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student.

BChristmas TraditionsThe Origin of ChristmasSince about 400 AD, Christmas Day has been celebrated on 25th December. This date was the old midwinter festival in pre-Christian times, around the time of the longest night and the shortest day. Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions：Christmas trees, cards and presents. Presents and shoppingShops can make about 60 per cent of their years income in the three months before Christmas. So most shops get ready for it in October. The shopping centers are beautifully decorated and stay open late at night. The first time this happened was in 1867 when Macys, a famous shop in New York, stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve（24th December）TreesBy mid-December, almost every house, shop and street has a Christmas tree. This tradition was started by the Germans as early as 700 ADIn the northern countries of the world, winter is cold and dark and most trees lose their leaves. The beautiful green trees decorated with lights and coloured glass balls give people hope that spring will come again. CardsThe tradition of sending cards to friends was started in 1840 in the UK and now millions of Christmas cards and emails are sent all round the world. Cards are a good way of keeping in touch with family and friends who live far away. Father ChristmasFather Christmas is known across the world with his white hair, red coat and big bag of toys. Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them. By tradition, he brings the toys to children at midnight, on the night before Christmas.

DVENICE, a small, waterside city in northeast Italy, boils with happiness and excitement once every year. Between February 21 and March 4, carnival（狂欢节） hits the streets. For most people, carnival means large parties and feasting（盛宴）. But in Venice, it also means traditional masks and clothes. These costumes were first meant to hide personal identities. Then, different social classes could mix in a sea of happiness. Along the waterways, people greeted each other with：“Good morning Ms. Mask!”Today, people in Venice still dress up in the strangest ways as armed soldiers, butchers and fishermen, for example. Bars and cafs are filled with partygoers who come to show off their beautiful clothes. Their designs and creations are made by special studios. Readymade costumes are not acceptable. “In the months before the carnival we work overtime to meet the demand,” said a mask-maker. “Many kilometers of silk and lace（花边） are made into costumes. For shopkeepers, carnival is the best time of year. ”The Venice carnival dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time, the city was one of the wealthiest in Europe. The tradition of celebrating with masks and costumes is thought to have been started by the “Stocking Companies”. These were groups of young men who organized parties and festivals and wore colorful stockings to distinguish（区分） themselves. By the 18th century, the carnival had reached its top. It all came to an end when Napoleon controlled Venice in 1797But in 1979, local people brought the old traditions back to life. Now the Venice carnival attracts huge crowds from all over the world. This year, about 700, 000 people are taking part. Hotels were fully booked months in advance, and bars and restaurants overflow every day.

Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. 51_First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. 52what you need to do is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia. com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated（受阻）by limited understanding53 Here is some of the advice I give my students：Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times. Do not translate everything into your native language. 54Dont concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas. Listen to something you enjoy. I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. 55Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts; Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said. AWhat should you do? BBut listening is a problem for most of the beginners!CHowever, after several weeks, I got used to the grammar rulesDThe most important thing is to listen as often as possible. EThis method usually resulted in confusion. FListen for the general idea of the conversation. GBut you cant follow a native English speaker at all!短文改错（共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分）I was in hotel near the beach. It had been very windy for a few hours and it have rained for two days.
