21、Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program? "A Bite of China(舌尖上的中国)" is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods.
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures. The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents(代表)the sex of the child, for example, an odd number(1,3,5,..) for a girl, and an even number(2,4,6…) for a boy .
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.
In China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. Zongzi will remind us of the great man Qu Yuan.
The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.

Since then I have used the money in the U.K. and U.S. It has helped families and strangers, and generally raised a lot of smiles. They have warmed my heart, but none so much as the gift I was able to give just an hour ago.
I was in a charity shop, looking at the second-hand books. It happened that the bookshelves were next to the toy shelf. I noticed a group of poorly dressed women standing behind me. As they looked through the clothes shelf, a little girl about three years old came over to the toy shelf. Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram(手推车). She spoke to her mother and her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost. $3 was the answer.
The mum looked down at her child, perhaps thinking what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left. Then she shook her head. The child didn’t behave(表现)as badly as some might. Being told “no” was not new for her but she couldn’t keep the disappointment(失望)from her face.
I had a total of $5 in my pocket. I touched the mother on the shoulder, put the money in her hand and said, “Buy her a doll too. ”
I didn’t wait to see the end. After all, it was not about being thanked. I walked out of the shop and into the sunshine.
The money the friend gave me was to help me find happiness of the world. Was there any better way, I wondered, to get so much happiness for so little money than to buy a little girl a toy pram and a doll to sit in it?

23、Considered as one of the English language’s most talented poets, John Keats wrote poems that focused on imagination, human nature, and life. Although Keats didn't receive much education on literature, his own studies and interests brought him much success. Also, his own life situation made a great difference to his poems.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middleclass family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to a public one. His mother was not well educated. His teachers and his family’s friends considered him as a common boy who preferred playing and fighting much more to minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother's because of tuberculosis(肺结核), he began seeing life differently. He wanted to keep away from the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying medical treatment so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary dream had taken too much of his life,especially with his love for the poems of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, named O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written another full poem, but was sharply criticized (批评) by a magazine. However, it didn’t stop his dream of poems.
John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story includes a farmer who falls in love with the moon and leads him to a trip of one boy's hope to deal with the limitations (限制) of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more storybased and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry because of his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” connected to his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would like to mix all that he learned together. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and finally take his life in 1821.
【1】John Keats' thoughts about life changed because of __________ .
A.Edmund Spenser's poetry
B.the deaths of his parents
C.the criticism of a magazine
D.his early education from school
【2】What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?
A.They received little education.
B.They went to a private school.
C.They died of the same disease.
D.They showed strong interest in poetry.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
B.The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats.
C.Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time.
D.Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young.
24、 When you run into(撞上)someone on the bus, will you say “Sorry”? When you get help from others, will you say “Thanks”? You will if you are polite.
We learned this in primary school(小学), but students seem to be less and less polite as they grow up. A new survey in Guangzhou shows middle school students aren’t as polite as primary school students. At middle schools, students start to swear(说脏话)and laugh at their classmates. Some students don’t listen to others.
Wu Lin, 13, from Fujian, learned to swear in middle school. “More than 10 of 22 boys in my class often swear,” Wu said. “We just swear for fun most of the time. But later, I understood that it was bad for me. So I stopped.”
Li Fangfang, 13, from Beijing, knows that laughing at others can really hurt. “Once, a classmate put up her hand to answer a question. But she didn’t give the right answer. Then some classmates laughed at her,” Li says. “From that day on, she never puts up her hand. Those laughing kids hurt her a lot.
“Impoliteness(无礼)comes from students’ growing pains(成长的烦恼),” says Wang Yamin, a teacher of English at Xiamen University of Technology. “Some middle school students become impolite because their classmates or parents do things in that way. They think it’s cool and funny. But our people are famous for politeness. Every student should speak and do things politely to respect(尊重)others and let others respect you.”
【1】When some students grow up, they are than they are in primary school.
A. more polite B. less polite C. polite D. as polite
【2】At last, Wu Lin thought that it was for them to swear.
A. bad B. good C. healthy D. unhealthy
【3】Li Fangfang thought that laughing at others may others.
A. help B. stop C. hurt D. respect
【4】. The best title of the passage is .
A. Please be polite B. Don’t swear
C. Don’t laugh at others D. Respect others
