24、Spring Festival, Chun Jie is the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar. When Chun Jie is coming, people are busy buying good, cleaning the house, cooking traditional food, making Spring Festival couplets, and hanging spring festival pictures. Dumplings are essential to the dinner. Dumplings means reunion and goodwill. The whole family gather to enjoy quality family time. On Chun Jie, Lunar New Year’s Day, people in new clothes visit each other, and give money to kids to send good wishes. During Chun Jie holidays all kinds of celebrations are held, including temple fairs, performances, a Lantern show which lasts nearly half a month.

The Qing Ming Festival is a day of reverence for Chinese. People hold ceremonies (仪式) for ancestors (祖先), and sweep their tombs (墓) on April 5th every year. According to tradition, during the Tomb Sweeping, people put food in front of the tombs, add new soil on the tomb. Decorate the tombs with some fresh branches and knock head. Now it is a public holiday in China. Although ceremonies have changed a little with time. Chinese still express their sadness for the dead.

In ancient times, there was a great poet called Qu Yuan. He couldn’t bear the pain when his motherland was invaded, so he drowned himself in the river. Local people drop the rice balls into the river to take away fishes’ attention from Qu’s body. Later people memorialized Qu’s patriotism by rowing and making Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, Duanwujie. That’s how the tradition of dragon boat racing and eating Zongzi were started.

The Qixi Festival, also known as the Chinese Valentine’s Day, falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month on the Chinese calendar. It says that a fairy named Zhi Nv, who lived in heaven, fell in love with a cow herder named Niu Lang during her trip to earth.

25、    Gever is a computer scientist from California. In 2005, he started a summer program for children called Tinkering School. The idea was that children can learn important skills for life by building things together. Gever and his team help the children  to think big and create plans for new things they want to build. Children have made fantastic things since the school started. They have made a rope bridge, tree houses, wooden motorbikes and boats.

At Tinkering School, children get all kinds of materials like wood, metal, plastic, nails and ropes. They get lots of real tools too, such as knives, hammers(锤子) and power drills(电钻). Tinkering School has been around for many years now, but nobody has ever had a serious injury in all those years. This is because there are strict health and safety rules they must follow. The children always learn how to use the tools safely and they must wear the right clothing and protection at all times.

Gever’s ideas have worked very well. A lot of children have gone to his summer schools over the years. In 2011, Gever decided to create a ‘real’ school, called Brightworks, in San Francisco. The school is very small —it only has 20 students aged 6 to 13. Brightworks is based on the same principles(理念) as Tinkering School.

Since it started, Brightworks has been written about a lot. Most of those articles have been very positive(积极的). They have praised the quality of the school. They have found the children are more active than at many other schools. But there have also been critical (批评的) voices. Some people have said that children are not learning enough at Brightworks. They feel that students and teachers are just ‘playing around’ all the time.

The students at Brightworks seem to love their school. We spoke to 12-year-old Tina Cooper. She has been a student at the school since last October. “Since I started here. I’ve never sat in a ‘normal’ class with a teacher,” she told us. “But it’s been a very exciting experience. I’ve worked hard at my new school for eight months now, and there hasn’t been one single moment when I found it boring.”

【1】Which can best describe Tinkering School or Brightworks?

A．A place you can walk around freely.

B．A space with new ideas and practice.

C．A factory full of materials and tools.

D．A family you will never leave behind.

【2】Gever’s principle on education is to ________.

A．train children to follow strict rules

B．provide children with famous schools

C．help children create new fantastic plastic things

D．lead children to learn by doing hands-on activities

【3】About safety at Tinkering School, we know that ________.

A．the school is not safe enough for kids

B．children are taught how to protect themselves

C．children have never had an accident or injury

D．there isn’t any safety information mentioned there

【4】From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.

A．Brightworks has influenced students like Tina

B．critical voices brought bad results to the school

C．there hasn’t been one single boring moment for all

D．the students there often stand in a class with a teacher

【5】The author’s writing purpose is probably to ________ .

A．choose the best schools for parents

B．let the readers listen to different voices

C．praise Gever’s thoughts about education

D．draw much attention to Gever’s school

26、   “Budda(佛)-like youngsters” has become the buzzwords online overnight. What is “Budda-like”?Actually,it has nothing to do with Buddhism. It's only an attitude towards life. It means one should neither be pleased by outside gains nor be saddened by personal losses. Besides, it guides a lifestyle that “it's fine to have something or not.”

The youngsters are in their 20s. Although they haven’t developed themselves into the “God” , they've learned how to live a comfortable life. The green post-90s have mixed feelings to face the unknown future. They think that they are“Budda-like youngsters” and try to let everything go. They don’t give up; they make some efforts; they take what they are given; they don’t make a change.

We are living at a fast-developing time. If we have a strong sense of competitions, we will be overtaken in grades, education backgrounds, scores, jobs and will be overtaken in our kids grades, education backgrounds, and jobs... “Budda-like” youngsters keep a casual and calm attitude towards life and get rid of the so-called “fear”. It's not that they refuse to make progress but that the pain from efforts overwhelms (压倒) the joy from gain. So, they stop considering struggle (奋 斗) as the most important part or even the only aim in life as their parents did. Gradually, “Budda-like” becomes the weapon (武器)for the youngsters to fight against the society that doesn’t belong to them.

In fact, every generation has their own culture. It's hard to tell whether it is good or bad. People born at special time create their own culture. We don’t have to worry about it.

【1】The writer mainly________ in the first paragraph.

A.expresses his worries about the Budda-like youngstery

B.shows the meaning of the words "Budda-likc youngsters

C.explains that there are Budda-like youngsters in China

D.tells us why we are living at a fast-developing time now

【2】What is Budda-like youngsters’ attitude about life?

A.They want to find or win anything they want.

B.They continue regarding struggle as one aim in life.

C.They don’t mind whether they have something or not.

D.They have a strong sense of competitions in many ways.

【3】Why do some post-90s become the Budda-like youngsters?

A.Because they want to get the joy form the gain

B.Because they really refuse to make any progress.

C.Because it's their way to fight against the so-calle fear.

D.Because they want to have the same life as their parents’.
