26、Birthday Traditions in Different Countries

England Certain symbolic objects are mixed into the birthday cake as it’s being prepared. If your piece of cake has a coin in it, then you will be rich. Also, when it’s your birthday, your friends give you the “bumps”. They lift you in the air by your hands and feet and raise you up and down to the floor; one for each year you lived, then another one or two for luck.

Denmark A flag is flown outside a window to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the child’s bed while he/she is sleeping, so he/she will see them at once upon awakening.

Holland Special year birthdays such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 21 are called “crown” years. The birthday child receives an especially large gift on a crown year birthday. The family also decorates the birthday child’s chair at the dining room table with flowers, paper streamers and balloons.

Canada The birthday child’s nose is greased (涂抹) with butter for good luck. The greased nose makes the child too slippery for bad luck to catch him/her. In some parts of Canada, the birthday person even receives a punch (一拳) for each year he/she is alive and then one for good luck.

Brazil The birthday child receives a pull on the ear for each year he/she has been alive. The birthday person also gives the first piece of cake to his/her most special friend or relative, usually mom or dad.

Korea There is a big family party on the first birthday. The table is set with food, and four items: a pencil, a ruler, thread, and money. The item that the baby chooses is said to forecast his/her future: excellent student, good with hands, long life or riches.

South Africa On the twenty-first birthday, a key made of anything from paper to silver to gold is presented by the parents as a sign that the child is ready to unlock the door to their future.

27、 Meat can be tasty. It is often good for us and it has been part of our meals for hundreds of thousands of years. However, some organizations, such as the Soil Association, say meat should not be eaten every day, especially in schools. This is because farming animals for meat can be bad for the environment and lead to climate (气候）change. The Soil Association wants schools to have more plant-based meal choices that don’t have meat and that do not cause environmental problems. The Government already advises that schools have one no-meat day each week, but not all schools follow this advice. So what do you think? Should schools be made to have one completely no-meat day each week?
Yes - it’s important to protect the climate
Everyone needs to do their bit to help the planet, and eating less meat is a good start. Although meat can be healthy and is good for us in the right amounts, eating it every day means a lot of animals have to be farmed. This uses up valuable things such as water and land. The animals themselves add to climate change by producing a gas called methane. Besides, it’s not necessary to eat meat every day. There are many ways to get the nourishment we need to be healthy. We could eat foods like beans, nuts, potatoes and so on. What’s more, eating more plant-based foods will save schools’ money because they are cheaper than meat. This money could be used on books and school trips.
No-_____________
Students should be able to decide what they eat - it is a personal choice. Some students, for example, might eat a little bit of meat each day, but less overall. Besides, meat is full of healthy vitamins and nutrients needed for growth. If schools don’t serve meat, they might end up serving chips and junk food instead, which wouldn’t be healthier. It’s right to tell and educate young people about climate change and the results of the farming industry, but they should be encouraged to change their eating habits rather than being told that they have to. Making people change their habits doesn’t always mean people can change their minds.
【1】The example of the Soil Association taken by the writer is to show ________.
A．every school must have one no-meat day
B．no-meat day is becoming a tradition in all schools
C．students should be required to cat meat in the right amounts to keep healthy
D．people try to protect the environment by having one no-meat day in schools
【2】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A．eating much meat
B．farming lots of animals
C．having one no-meat day
D．eating more plant-based foods
【3】Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in “_______” in the passage?
A．it should be up to the students
B．schools shouldn’t have one no-meat day
C．it’s necessary to change students’ eating habits
D．students should eat a little bit of meat every day
【4】What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．Changing people’s minds is really a difficult task.
B．It’s not polite to make people change their eating habits.
C．Habits changing cannot always lead to minds changing.
D．It’s more important to change eating habits than to change their minds.

28、Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are 【1】(叫做)the “Heads-down Tribe”. Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.
There are more and more traffic accidents because lots of drivers use mobile phones while driving. In order to make drivers pay more a【2】 to driving, some new traffic rules have been made.
As we can see above, using mobile phones may 【3】(引起)traffic accidents. Also, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. A man in America kept【4】 (使用)his mobile phone on his way home. As a r【5】 , he knocked into a big lost bear. When he lifted 【6】 (他的) eyes from the phone, he was so afraid that he turned around and ran away as 【7】 (快速地)as possible. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. They don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have【8】(乐趣) communicating with others on the phone.
Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Let’s be “healthy” users and try to be the “Heads-up Tribe”.
