The Czech Republic really loves celebrations,     1    (include) anniversaries, national holidays and many other festivals.

In the fall they hold their harvest festival in different regions. People basically celebrate the harvest, recognizing that they have enough food to survive through winter. It’s a tradition that dates back    2     the time when people didn’t have enough food to eat, so many died from     3    (hungry).

I felt very     4    (luck) to go to a village, where a festival was being held. This village is known for its outdoor museum    5    shows the lives of people from the past and the jobs they did.

In the afternoon, there were not only performances of singing and dancing,     6    also plenty of other activities to do. Bands started to play traditional Czech music on the stage. People in the garden    7    (drink) beer and enjoyed     8    wonderful music that everyone there relaxed.

Through festivals Czech people remind    9    (they) of their history, and at the same time have     10    good time together with their families and friends.

The British have been drinking tea for over 350 years. But in fact, the history of tea goes much     1    (far) back.

The story of tea begins in China. According to the legend, the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting     2    a tree while his servant boiled drinking water, when some leaves from the tree blew into the water. Shen Nung,     3     expert in herbal medicine, decided to try the water his servant created. As a result, it tasted so good that later the drink was     4     we now call tea.

It is     5    (possible) to know whether there is any truth in this story.     6    , tea drinking certainly was established in China many centuries before it had even been heard of in the west. Containers of tea     7    (find) in tombs dating from the Han dynasty (206BC-220AD) before tea was firmly established as the national drink of China in the Tang dynasty (618-906AD). It became     8     a favorite thing that during the late eighth century, a writer     9    (call) Lu Yu wrote the first book entirely about tea, the Ch’a Ching, or Tea Classic. It was shortly after this that tea was first introduced to Japan, by Japanese Buddhist monks who had travelled to China to study before. Tea drinking has become a vital part of Japanese culture,     10    may be rooted in the sprit described in the Ch’a Ching.

Dear Jack,

I am interested in how       1     (protect) places of interest in your city. In my opinion, nothing is     2     (importance) than to protect scenic spots, because they are of great value for us. For example, the Palace Museum, the Great Wall, and the Terracotta Army are all famous places in China.

    3       is well-known that they are wonderful and great. However, there are people    4       not only draw some paintings on the walls and buildings in the scenic spots, but take photos of paintings     5     (casual). It is generally recognized that these things will do harm     6     the valuable objects!

As     7     well-behaved tourist, it must     8     (notice) that we should prevent those people       9     (be) on those uncivilized     10    (behave) and we can put forward some suggestions to the administration departments such as putting up some warnings and signs! Only in this way can we preserve those brilliant belongings for our future generation.

I hope these suggestions will be useful.

Yours,

4 . Can you imagine digging in your yard one day and finding a life-sized soldier made completely of clay? That’s what happened several decades ago when farmers in Xi'an, China, were digging wells.

Archaeologists（考古学家） have since found about 6,000 more of these soldiers, along with horses, weapons, tools, and other artifacts. The huge army was meant to protect the tomb of the first ruler of China. The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, accomplished a huge amount during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B.C., he started the construction of the Great Wall. He built a large network of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency（货币）, and a set of measurements. The emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.

The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown, but they weren't always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. After being exposed to air during excavation(挖掘), the coating under the paint began to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history.

Now new techniques are starting to reveal the army's true colors. Archaeologists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a special liquid to help preserve the soldiers’ colors. After they find a soldier or other artifacts(手工艺品), archaeologists spray it with the liquid. They then cover it in plastic. Archaeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers. It’s important not to disturb the dirt, so the colors won’t be lost. “We are treating the earth as an artifact,”says archeologist Rong Bo, the museum’s leading chemist. The next challenge, says Rong, is to find a way to apply the colors to the army again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to life in full, vivid color.

1. The terracotta soldiers were constructed to _________.

A．show the outside world about China’s greatness

B．be enjoyed by everyday people

C．frighten China’s enemies

D．protect Emperor Qin’s tomb

2. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A．The soldiers lost their colors very quickly.

B．The soldiers’ paint fell off because of the high temperature.

C．Visitors to the museum are not actually seeing the real soldiers.

D．Being exposed to water is bad for the soldiers.

3. What have archaeologists recently discovered?

A．A place with over a hundred soldiers.

B．A written description of the soldiers’ true colors.

C．A special liquid in the tomb to preserve the soldiers’ colors.

D．A new tomb for Emperor Qin.

4. Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree with?

A．The soldiers should stay in their current, brown color.

B．Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in any color they want.

C．Archaeologists can only guess at the soldiers’ original colors.

D．We should try to restore the army’s vivid colors.

Every Thanksgiving my family and I, along with others, prepare and serve Thanksgiving meals for the people in our small mountain community. My husband and I also bring meals to the disabled.

This Thanksgiving we did     1     same. After delivering them to some individual apartments, we went to the     2     (centre) dining room. We put the boxes filled with Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and some other foods on the tables. People invited     3     (we) to stay, and thanked us,     4     we had other deliveries and had to leave. As we started to go out, I turned around and saw them all     5     (watch) us. Then I asked, “Would anybody like a hug?” They lined up. There was so much     6     (warm) in each hug.

My eyes     7     (fill) with tears and my heart with love. Now I visit now and then     8     (chat) and, of course, hug. This year at my Thanksgiving delivery, when they line up     9     their hugs, I am going to have them turn around and hug each other. These people have no family at Thanksgiving-- what could be     10     (good) for them than hugs!

I am very luckily to have the opportunity to see so many place, but sometimes I experience culture shock when I see or do something new. Dad and I now are travelled through Denmark, Norway and Sweden. I used to thinking that these countries are the same, but not any more. People in Denmark are a bit of friendlier, while Norwegians and Swedes prefer not to talk to strangers. I’m surprised to learn that many people there speak English in addition their national languages. In Sweden, it seems that anyone has golden hair and blue eyes. I feel a little strange with my black hair and dark eyes. I imagine this is that foreigners feel when they visit China!
