Whether you call Germany home or are just visiting, going to festivals is a great way to experience the country’s culture. Here are the best events to attend.
Karneval, Cologne
Karneval is a 40-day party season which takes place between February and March. The largest and most well-known one of these celebrations in Germany takes place in Cologne. The period sees street parties pop up all across the city. The tradition dates back to medieval (中世纪的) times when people lived under strict rules. However, the Germans are certainly making up for it now.
Frankfurt Book Fair
Held for five days at the Frankfurt Trade Fair grounds in Frankfurt, the event dates back to the 15th century. Today, it is the world’s largest trade fair for books and is considered to be the most important one for international deals and trading. While the first three days are restricted (限制) only to professional visitors, the general public can attend on the weekend.
Thuringer Bachwochen: Thuringia Bach Festival
Taking place during the Easter period, this is the largest music festival in Thuringia and has more than 60 concerts in the historic Bach sites. These show the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Each year, the festival opens with a long night of house music. For one evening, more than a hundred public house concerts take place in private living rooms across the state.
Long Night of the Museums, Berlin
The evening sees between 70 and 80 of the city’s museums open late for the public to visit. Visitors are given an entrance pass to all the exhibits (展览品) within the area. They can meet interesting guests, and dance the night away to live music, and more. With foods and drinks on offer in many places, it’s no wonder this is one of the most popular German festivals.

I have learned a great many things from playing football. And it has changed my entire attitude towards life.
In my freshman year at high school, I was shy, had low self-confidence and turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. On the first day of freshman practice, the team warmed up with a game of touch football. However, during the game, I didn't run as hard as I could, nor did I try to escape from my defender and get open. The fact of the matter was that I really didn't want to be the one at fault if I dropped the ball and the play didn't succeed. I didn't want to take the responsibility of helping the team because I was too afraid of making a mistake. That aspect of my character led the first year of my high school life. I avoided asking questions in class, afraid they might be considered too stupid by my classmates.
During my second-year season, my position at backup guard led me to play in the games since another backup guard on my team was seriously injured. From then on, I made mistakes sometimes and was blamed by my coaches indeed. However, those criticisms didn't make my teammates look down upon me, but they helped me a lot. At times I made great plays, for which I was congratulated. Now, I feel like a changed person.
Over the years, playing football has taught me what it takes to succeed. From months of tough practices, I have learned to work hard. From my coaches and teammates, I have learned to work well with others in a group. But most importantly, I have gained self-confidence. I realize that it is necessary to risk failure in order to gain success. Now, I welcome the challenge.
24.What sort of boy was the author in his early years of high school
A.Kind. B.Brave.
C.Lonely. D.Fearful.
25.What can we learn about the teammates
A.They are friendly and warm-hearted.
B.They were seriously injured during the games.
C.They are unsatisfied with the team's performance.
D.They regarded the author as the most important player.
26.What was the most important thing the author learned from playing football
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.You get what you pay off.
C.Many hands make light work.
D.Self-confidence is the key to success.
27.What's the author's purpose in writing the text
A.To recall his school days.
B.To show his love for football.
C.To share his growth experience.
D.To thank his coaches and teammates.
C
Culture shock is a broad term for the series of personal difficulties that people go through in new places. It’s usually most extreme for those who can’t speak the language of the place they have moved to, or for those who aren't familiar with the social rules. Both of these things applied to me in China when I moved there in 2011.
So, naturally, I went through the four well-known stages of culture shock: honeymoon, distress(痛苦),re-integration(重新融入)and autonomy(独立自主).
When I arrived, I was excited and optimistic, but I quickly became angry by cultural differences, missing how things worked back home.
By the end of my first year, I had totally lost my self-confidence; I was a bitter, clumsy and sensitive person, and I blamed China for making me that way.
Then, in my second year, I started to pick up some language skills, and I found fun activities to do in my spare time. I made great foreign and Chinese friends, and I developed an interest in Chinese history and culture.
I learned to consider myself a confident and happy laowai.
Today I’m back in the US, where I’m pursuing a PhD at a university in my hometown. It’s been a little tough to readjust to life in my home country. I suffered at first from “reverse”culture shock, experiencing the four stages in the opposite order.
I started out feeling independent and self-confident, before slowly realizing that I knew my country much less well than I used to.I’d complain loudly about little things, like how I could no longer shout “fuwuyuan!” to get a waiter’s attention in a restaurant.
But eventually, I came to realize that what I had thought was my “home” had become an entirely new place while I’d been away. That, by itself, was exciting.
28.Which of the following least helped the author ease his culture shock in China
A.By learning the Chinese language.
B.By making local friends.
C.By joining in fun activities.
D.By attending history courses.
29.Which stage of culture shock does Paragraph 4 mainly describe
A.Distress. B.Honeymoon. C.Re-integration. D.Autonomy.
30.What does the word “reverse” mean in Paragraph 7
A.Exchange the position.
B.Stop having a particular position.
C.Change the order of something around.
D.Change the previous decision.
31.When the author went back to the US, what did he do
A.He moved to a new place with his family.
B.He felt relaxed in a more familiar culture.
C.He missed his life in China very much.
D.He found it difficult to adapt to life there.
D
Treasure hunts have excited people’s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues found in a book when he wrote a children’s story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out, Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings ”, or false clues, to mislead them.
Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic, not by luck. His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words “One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII’s six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Befordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.
32. Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth 3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.
33. The underlined word “them”(paragraph1)refers to .
A. red herrings B. treasure hunts
C. Henry VIII’s six wives D. readers of Masquerade
33.What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare
A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill B. Stevenson’s Treasure Island
C. Katherine of Aragon D. Williams’ hometown
34.The stone crosses in Ampthill were built .
A. to tell about what happened in 1773 B. to show respect for Henry VIII’s first wife
C. to serve as a roadsign in Ampthill Park D. to inform people where the gold hare was
35.What is the subject discussed in the text
A. An exciting historical event B. A modern treasure hunt
C. The attraction of Masquerade D. The importance of logical thinking

Weighing the Options
Making decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you’re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until you literally dropped dead
Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizers” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options—sometimes every possible one—before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.
_____36____ So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. _____37______
“The maximizer is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point has to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them. _____38______”
Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.
Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making.
______39_______ For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for a lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.
Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. _____40______ To limit the number of options you can consider, you can set a time limit for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value—but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only these bags you can consider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happier with your decision, too.
A. Maximizers are people who want the best.
B. First of all, decrease your range of options.
C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.
D. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.
E. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.
F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.
G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs.

【答案】Dear Editor,
I am Li Ming, a student in Ming qi Middle School. Recently, I read an article about the mental state of teenagers which mentioned that compared to the teenagers 20 years ago, today’s teenagers are unhappier. I am writing to express my opinion about this phenomenon.
Many people think today’s teenagers should be happier than before. However, that’s not the case. First of all, today’s teenagers have more difficulty in getting along with others. It makes them feel lonely. Secondly, nowadays, teenagers suffer from too much pressure of study, which makes them easier to be depressed.
Therefore, action must be taken to improve it. To begin with, teenagers should be encouraged to take many activities to form harmonious interpersonal relationship. Besides, parents also need to pay more attention to their children’s mental health. As we all know, good listening can always show respect, promote understanding and make things better. I am convinced that with our joint efforts, the situation will be gradually improved.
Yours sincerely ,
Li Ming
