It’s said that after working and studying for a long time, having some dessert can help us forget tiredness. Are you a dessert lover? What’s your favorite dessert? Have you ever heard of a traditional dessert called Fried Chop Rice Cake(驴打滚)?
The dessert is also named Lü Da Gun in Chinese. And it is one of the most popular snacks in Beijing. Its name is very interesting, isn’t it? But it has nothing to do with donkeys(驴). 1.It is a kind of handmade cake that tastes sweet and delicious. Why do Chinese people call it Lü Da Gun?
Here is a story about it. It’s believed that in the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi(慈禧太后) was tired of having the same kind of food every day. So, one day, a chef(厨师) was called to the palace. Cixi told her needs to the chef and ordered him to cook something different. 2.However, it’s too difficult for the chef to meet these needs. After thinking carefully, he made a new kind of cake by using rice powder and red bean paste(糯米粉和豆沙馅).
However, a boy came to the kitchen. Before the chef warned him, the boy had dropped the cake into soybean powder(黄豆面) by accident. 3.厨师很担心因为要做一个新的蛋糕太迟了。He had no choice but to take the cake to Empress Dowager Cixi nervously.
4.令他惊讶的是,慈禧非常喜欢他的糕点。 His bad luck unexpectedly turned into good things. She asked the chef what the name of the cake was. The chef had thought about that. Suddenly, he thought of the name of the little boy — “Xiao Lür’. So he said that the cake’s name was Lü Da Gun.
Since then, Lü Da Gun has won the hearts of foodies(美食家) for its special taste and funny name. 5.Many visitors see it as a must-eat food when traveling to Beijing. Would you like to try it?

25、
Do you know about the Oktoberfest festival in Munich, Germany?
The first thing many people think they know—that it happens in October—is actually not true. Most of the time it begins in September. Up until 1872, Oktoberfest did begin in October. But then people pointed out that Munich’s heavy rainfall was not good for the drinking and fun, so it was moved to around the fourth week of September.
People have celebrated Oktoberfest since Munich was part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. It was first held in 1835 to celebrate the 25th wedding anniversary(结婚周年)of King Ludwig I of Bavaria and Therese.
The celebrations have continued to the present day, and it is not just a festival of drinking. It is fun for all ages, including traditional Bavarian German clothes and Bavarian music. Visitors also get to enjoy “Weisswurst”. It’s a kind of white sausage and people suck(吸食)the meat of it.
During the festival, it is expected that many people will dress traditionally. The boys and men will wear lederhosen(皮短裤), while girls and women will wear a kind of strange dresses. Some may think they look silly. However, dressing in such a way is all part of the fun. Will you wear this kind of clothes to celebrate?
【1】When do people usually celebrate Oktoberfest?
A.In September.
B.In October.
C.On rainy days.
D.On Thursday.
【2】How long have people celebrated Oktoberfest?
A.For 148 years.
B.For 150 years.

27、 The view you hold for yourself greatly affects the way you lead your life. It can decide whether you become the person you want to be and whether you achieve the things you value. How does this happen? How can a simple belief have the power to change your psychology(心理) and, as a result, your life?
Believing that your qualities are carved(刻) in stone — the fixed mindset — creates a great need to prove yourself over and over. Some of us are trained in this mindset from an early age. Even as a child, I was focused on being smart, but the fixed mindset was really stamped in by Mrs. Wilson, my sixth-grade teacher. She believed that people’s IQ scores told the whole story of who they were. We were seated around the room in IQ order, and only the highest-IQ students could be trusted to collect homework, or take a note to the principal. She was creating a mindset in which everyone in the class had one important goal-look smart, don’t look stupid.
I’ve seen so many people with this one important goal of proving themselves — in the classroom, in their careers, and in their relationships. Every situation calls for a confirmation of their IQ, personality, or character. Every situation is evaluated(评价): Will I succeed or fail? Will I look smart or stupid? Will I feel like a winner or a loser?
But doesn’t our society value IQ, personality, and character? Isn’t it normal to want these qualities? Yes, but ...
There’s another mindset, the growth mindset, which is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can develop through your efforts. Although people may differ in every which way — in their inborn talents, interests, or characters, everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience. Did you know that Darwin and Tolstoy were considered ordinary children? That the photographer Cindy Sherman, who has been on almost every list of the most important artists of the twentieth century, failed her first photography course? That Geraldine Page, one of our greatest actresses, was advised to give it up for lack of talent?
You can see how the belief that valuable qualities can be developed creates a passion(热情) for learning. Why waste time proving how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide weaknesses instead of overcoming them? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will better you? The passion for improving yourself and sticking to it, even when it’s not going well, is the feature(特征) of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to achieve success during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
【1】According to Paragraph 5, the example of Darwin and Tolstoy shows that _________
A.success has nothing to do with natural gifts.
B.it’s difficult to predict one’s future success.
C.achievements can be made through hard work.
D.the valuable qualities can encourage people to learn.
【2】The author strongly believes that we should _________
A.carry out an honest evaluation of our qualities.
B.see success as the only way to prove IQ or talent.
C.focus on self-development rather than self-proving.
D.believe good things will happen during difficult times.
【3】The main purpose of the passage is to _________
A.lead people to take the right mindset.
B.advise people to evaluate their mindset.
C.get people to know the influence of mindset.
D.explain the differences between two mindsets.

In our life, one spends the most time being with oneself. But one has the least understanding of oneself. When you are s 【1】 , you may be very proud. When you fail, you may lose heart. If you don’t get a thorough(充分的) understanding of yourself, you may m 【2】 many chances in life.
To get a thorough understanding of yourself is to know well about yourself. You may realize your strong points and weak o 【3】 .
