How did your parents celebrate when you were born? Of course you can’t remember， but they can. They have photos or videos from a ceremony of some kind.
In the United States， the proud parents of a new baby often put something on their front door. It’s an exciting time for them， and they want to share the good news with their neighbors. For example， they put balloons（气球）on their door. Pink balloons mean the baby is a girl. Blue ones are for boys.
People around the world often celebrate a new baby’s birth with some kinds of ceremonies， perhaps a religious（宗教的）ceremony. This perhaps takes place when a baby is a few days or weeks old. Take what people do in Mexico as an example， many new parents dress their babies in special clothes take them to church.In some African countries， the family plants a tree near the house. In Korea， there is a traditional ceremony on the baby’s 100th day. And it’s the same in China. On that day， all family members and friends get together to have a big meal， with all the best wishes that the baby will grow up happily and healthily.
The parents of new babies often receive presents. In the United States， friends send cards， flowers or baby clothes. In China， family members and friends give money or presents.
Presents， celebrations---these are great， but what do most new parents really need? More sleep!

Now satellites are helping to forecast (预言) the weather. They are in space and they can reach part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气层), because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.

Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.

So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.

What can we do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with the one who hurts him or her?     25     The best way is to forgive (宽恕, 原谅) them.

       Although it is not easy for us to forgive people who hurt us, it is possible. “Forgiveness makes you more helpful. And it is good for our health,” says Frederic, PhD., the writer of the book called Forgive for God.
           26    
       First, think of something beautiful and the people you love. Try to get yourself happy.
       Second,     27     If the people hurt you, he or she won’t say sorry to you. They may just want to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.
       Third, try to see things in others’ shoes. You can write a letter to yourself from the offender’s (对方) point. That can make you understand others better and make yourself happier.
           28     For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge (挑战 ). And it also makes you more confident.
根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出填入文中空白处的最佳选项，其中一项多余。

When was the last time you gave or received a hug? Do your parents ________ you before you go to school? In Western countries, it’s quite common to greet close friends or ________ with a hug.

       You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a ________ day, you can hug him to cheer him up. Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when ________.
       Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, I’ve ________ that people are generally more reluctant (不情愿的) to hug than they are in my home country, the US. My ________ friends told me that hugging is considered to be very close in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really ________ to each other, like couples. Chinese people don’t usually hug in public, either.
       But people’s attitudes (态度) toward hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the ________ inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other. The Chinese ________ looked uncomfortable. However, several of them changed their minds ________ the party.

Wang Lin, a Chinese student in America, was invited to a dinner party. He was a little     39     (worry) because he knew little about American customs. So he wrote a letter to his friend, Rose,     40     (ask) for help. Rose wrote back to Wang Lin and told him what     41     (do). Here is the letter.

Dear Wang Lin,

It is a good idea     42     (bring) a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, but you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friend     43     (drink) it.

You should arrive on time or five to ten     44     (minute) late. Do not get there early. If you are more than fifteen minutes late, you should tell your friend     45     (one). Try to be free at the dinner table.

If you     46     (not know) how to use the fork and knife, just     47     (watch) the other people and follow them. If you still have no idea what to do, just ask the person beside you.

If you like the food, of course, you should     48     (thank) your friend for the meal and his or her     49     (kind). It is also a good idea to send a thank-you card the next day.

Best wishes.

(A) People often ask what the weather is like in Australia. The answer is that it changes a lot! Why? Because Australia is such a large country, weather in different parts is different in the country. The northern parts of Australia are warm to hot all year round because it is closer to the equator (赤道). In the north, summer is also the rainy season.

       The areas along the coast around Sydney are warm in winter with the lowest temperatures about 50°F to 60°F. Summer there is warmer and the temperature is about 80°F.
       (B) ________, if you think all parts of the country are warm all year round, you’ll be wrong. Some parts in Australia are very cold during the winter. When we say it’s cold, we don’t mean it’s like the winter in Harbin. In some places in Tasmania and Victoria, you can see snow and temperatures there are below freezing. In fact many people do not know that there are ski resorts in the mountains of Australia.
       Australia is a good place to visit. You can enjoy everything there from sunbathing on the beach to knocking snow off your boots after a day of skiing. If you want to go there for a visit, all you should think about is the weather there.
