三、阅读理解
A
Whenever
we
talk
about
holidays,my
mother
teases
my
sister
and
me
about
how
we
“make
out
like
robbers”.She
is
referring
to
the
fact
that
we
are
half
Jewish
and
half
Indian,so
we
receive
gifts
on
both
the
festivals
of
lights—Hanukkah
and
Diwali.Though
my
mother
teases
us,I
do
not
mind
getting
two
sets
of
gifts!
Hanukkah
is
celebrated
on
the
25th
day
of
the
Jewish
month,which
is
usually
sometime
in
December.On
Hanukkah,like
most
Jewish
families,we
light
a
menorah(烛台)
and
say
a
prayer
each
night.We
also
say
a
special
prayer
on
the
first
night.After
that,it
is
a
tradition
for
my
sister
and
me
to
do
‘hot
and
cold’
for
our
hidden
Hanukkah
gifts.When
we
walk
towards
the
gift,our
parents
say
‘hot’
and
when
we
walk
further
away,they
say
‘cold’.We
each
receive
one
present
every
night
of
Hanukkah.Another
part
I
like
about
this
holiday
is
seeing
family
members
who
we
do
not
see
often.My
aunt
usually
stays
for
a
few
days,and
we
sometimes
visit
other
relatives.?
Diwali
is
celebrated
on
the
13th
day
of
the
dark
fortnight
of
the
month
of
Ashwin(October
/
November).To
celebrate
Diwali,my
family
does
a
pooja,or
prayers,in
honour
of
the
goddess
Lakshmi.Since
she
is
the
goddess
of
wealth
and
prosperity,the
pooja
includes
washing
silver
coins
in
milk
and
water.In
India,people
decorate
their
houses
with
lamps,similar
to
the
way
you
might
light
up
your
house
for
Christmas.My
family
just
places
a
few
candles
outside.We
also
set
off
firecrackers,which
is
my
favourite
part.We
often
do
this
activity
with
friends
to
add
to
the
excitement.
Both
holidays
have
different
histories
and
stories.We
celebrate
them
in
different
ways,yet
they
both
have
the
same
meaning.And
they
both
mean
family
and
presents
for
me!

B
Every
American
family
has
its
own
traditions
on
Thanksgiving
Day,and
mine
is
no
different.Once
the
national
holiday
arrives,my
mum
rises
early
to
make
the
meal.She
puts
a
turkey
in
the
oven,chops
carrots
and
bakes
pies.I’m
sorry
to
say
that
the
men
in
the
family—my
dad,my
younger
brother
and
myself—rarely
pitch
in
to
help.Our
job
is
to
wash
the
mountain
of
dirty
dishes
after
the
meal
is
over.
Around
2
pm
every
Thanksgiving
Day,family
members
seat
themselves
around
the
kitchen
table.Plates
of
turkey,vegetables,salad,rolls
and
pies
cover
it.At
this
point,we
can
hardly
keep
ourselves
from
drooling
(流口水)
all
over
our
fancy
clothes,but
it’s
not
yet
time
to
eat.
First,we
must
bow
our
heads,close
our
eyes
and
say
a
prayer
of
thanks
aloud
to
God
for
giving
us
everything
we
have.Under
normal
circumstances,I
would
have
no
problem
making
a
list
of
things
I
am
thankful
for.I
grew
up
in
a
loving
family.My
parents,who
aren’t
wealthy,took
out
loans
to
help
me
pay
for
the
university.
However,the
funny
thing
is,every
time
I
sit
down
for
Thanksgiving
dinner
and
try
to
say
a
prayer
of
thanks,my
mind
usually
goes
blank.I
think
it
has
something
to
do
with
my
growling
(咕咕叫)
stomach
and
all
of
that
food
sitting
right
there
under
my
nose.
Eventually,though,we
all
finish
our
short
prayers
and
dig
in.To
be
sure,the
day
includes
other
highlights—visiting
with
family
and
watching
football.But
usually
around
6
pm
we
are
all
ourselves
stuffed
like
turkeys
and
thankful
to
have
a
nice
warm
bed
to
sleep
in.?
5.The
purpose
of
the
text
is
to
.?
A.tell
what
the
family
does
for
Thanksgiving
Day
B.tell
how
the
family
spends
Thanksgiving
Day
C.introduce
foods
served
on
Thanksgiving
Day
D.introduce
the
American
Thanksgiving
Day
6.What
activities
doesn’t
the
author’s
family
do
on
Thanksgiving
Day?
A.Watch
a
movie.
B.Make
visits.
C.Have
a
big
meal.
D.Watch
football.
7.Why
does
the
author’s
mind
usually
go
blank
when
saying
a
prayer
of
thanks?
A.He
is
too
thankful
to
say
a
word.
B.His
mind
is
on
the
food
before
him.
C.He
feels
too
excited
to
speak.
D.He
is
too
shy
to
speak
in
public.
8.The
underlined
phrase
“dig
in”
in
the
last
paragraph
is
closest
in
meaning
to
“ ”.?
A.chat
with
others
B.make
a
hole
C.mix
things
up
D.start
eating

TheFestivalILikeBest?
If
you
ask
me
which
festival
I
like
best,my
answer
is
the
Dragon
Boat
Festival.
On
the
one
hand,it
is
known
to
us
all
that
the
Dragon
Boat
Festival
falls
on
the
fifth
day
of
the
fifth
lunar
month.The
weather
will
be
very
good
with
many
kinds
of
flowers
coming
out,which
will
make
me
have
a
nice
trip
to
the
natural
world.On
the
other
hand,I
enjoy
this
festival
because
I
can
take
part
in
the
dragon
boat
races.We
must
try
our
best
to
make
it
and
there
will
be
many
people
around
us,saying
“Come
on”.What’s
more,I
can
eat
the
delicious
zongzi,a
special
food
for
the
festival.
