A
Check your calendar. You will find the third Monday in February is Presidents' Day, a holiday you may know to recognize the achievements of all past U．S. presidents. Do you know the history behind this holiday
After George Washington died in 1799, his supporters began recognizing his birthday, February 22, as a day of remembrance for America's first president.(At least, those who used the Gregorian calendar did. The Julian calendar said he was born on February 11.) Washington's birthday became a federal (联邦的) holiday for the District of Columbia in 1879 and for the rest of the country in 1885.
Then in 1968, Congress (国会) introduced the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill (法案), which hoped to change certain federal holidays from special dates to Mondays, creating more three day weekends. The idea was that more long weekends would make people work hard during shorter workdays.
The bill also wanted to combine (结合) Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays into one holiday (some states, like Illinois, already celebrated Lincoln's birthday, February 12). Illinois Senator Robert McClory suggested this holiday be called “Presidents' Day”. In 1971, the bill passed, and President Richard Nixon made an order that the third Monday in February should be now a holiday. Here's the thing though: According to the United States laws, that holiday is still called Washington's Birthday. The name never officially changed to Presidents' Day. But since the laws allowed local governments and private businesses to name federal holidays whatever they want, most states call it Presidents' Day. Many stores also make use of this second name to boost February sales.
Two other presidents celebrated birthdays in February, William Henry Harrison (February 9) and Ronald Reagan (February 6)．
1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A．The beginning of Presidents' Day.
B．People's love for George Washington.
C．The story behind America's first president.
D．The difference between different calendars.
2．Why did Congress introduce the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill in 1968
A．To create more federal holidays.
B．To give the holiday an official name.
C．To celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday.
D．To increase the number of longer weekends.
3．What can we learn about Presidents' Day
A．President Richard Nixon created it.
B．It is the official name for the holiday.
C．Illinois was the first state to celebrate it.
D．It's called Washington's Birthday officially.
4．What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Hold. B．Increase.
C．Record. D．Show.
B
The origins of the Christmas traditions are the most fascinating of any holiday. All our favorite activities can be traced (追溯) back to specific points in history, and knowing how these things came about just makes celebrating Christmas much more wonderful.
The original Nicholas was born in 280 A．D. in the small country of Lycia, which is now part of modern Turkey. Nicholas became first a priest (牧师) and then a bishop (主教) in the early Christian church. The first paintings of him show Nicholas wearing the clothes of a Christian bishop — red decorated with white. When we see Santa's suit today, we're still seeing the two kinds of colors.
Nicholas became famous for gift giving. In the early fourth century, a legend began to spread about Nicholas coming at night to the home of three poor girls who did not have money and therefore could not get married. While the girls slept, Nicholas left gold coins in their stockings, which were drying by the fire. That's how the tradition of Santa filling stockings got its start.
In 1841, Santa first appeared at a department store in Philadelphia. This Santa tried to climb down a chimney to impress the children who were watching, but he got stuck halfway down. In 1890, department store Santas began appearing all over America, especially on the East Coast around Boston. Parents in other countries joined together and hired passenger trains to take their families to see these Santas.
At the same time, Ralph E. Morris of the New England Telephone Company suggested that strings of lights be hung on Christmas trees. After all, lights would be much safer than candles. Our modern day image of Santa as a fat man is based on ads of the Coca Cola company in the 1930s. Artist Hans Sundblom used a retired salesman named Les Prentice as his model.
1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A．Christmas is the most important holiday.
B．The traditions of Christmas are based on facts.
C．There was not any record of Christmas in the past.
D．More and more people begin to celebrate Christmas.
2．What do we know about Nicholas
A．He set up the first Christian church.
B．He was called Santa Claus when he was born.
C．His clothes are similar to Santa's suit in color.
D．His image is the same as the modern day Santa.
3．Three poor girls are mentioned to ________.
A．prove that Nicholas used to be a rich man
B．tell of the origin of Santa filling stockings
C．show Christmas was set up mainly for the poor
D．describe a famous story in the early fourth century
4．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A．Santa didn't become popular until the year 1890.
B．Candles have never been used on Christmas trees.
C．The Coca Cola company designed the image of Santa.
D．Santa began giving gifts by climbing down chimneys in 1841.
【七选五】
Preparing healthy and fresh meals three times a day takes a lot of time. __1__ But how do we still keep healthy when we eat out There are a few simple things we can do.
The first thing to consider is the portion size (分量).

If you're eating fast food, order a Kids Meal that has a smaller portion.
However, we all want to be satisfied at the end of a meal. __3__ We can achieve it by controlling our appetite (食欲). One way is to carry around healthy snacks that you can take between meals to help with hunger. __4__ Not only is water important to your health, but it'll help you become full faster.
__5__ Most menus now have meals with low fat. Order those meals when you eat out. Also think about healthy soup instead of sods drinks.
A．Pay attention to how we eat a meal.
B．But water is healthier than sweet drinks.
C．So more and more people like eating out.
D．You can eat less of your main meal when you eat out.

M: This morning I want to tell the group about my goals.
I am very interested in using “online community” as a means of helping the world become a better place. I believe we all have our own idea for making the world a better place. For me, it's about giving people a way to come together and talk about ideas. A “forum ”is a way to make an “online community”.
I am very interested in environmental issues. I want to support shared information and discussions about these issues.
I am interested in these forums going in their own way. I love the idea of people taking matters into their own hands and building their own things that fit their dreams.
I have a long history with the Internet. I have been using the Internet and other related systems since 1985 or 1986. I have worked in the Silicon Valley tech industry for a long time.
I see my role as supporting the group to have a voice, to discuss things together, and to share ideas.

Check your calendar. You will find the third Monday in February is Presidents' Day, a holiday you may know to recognize the achievements of all past U．S. presidents. Do you know the history behind this holiday
After George Washington died in 1799, his supporters began recognizing his birthday, February 22, as a day of remembrance for America's first president.(At least, those who used the Gregorian calendar did. The Julian calendar said he was born on February 11.) Washington's birthday became a federal (联邦的) holiday for the District of Columbia in 1879 and for the rest of the country in 1885.
Then in 1968, Congress (国会) introduced the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill (法案), which hoped to change certain federal holidays from special dates to Mondays, creating more three day weekends. The idea was that more long weekends would make people work hard during shorter workdays.
The bill also wanted to combine (结合) Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays into one holiday (some states, like Illinois, already celebrated Lincoln's birthday, February 12). Illinois Senator Robert McClory suggested this holiday be called “Presidents' Day”. In 1971, the bill passed, and President Richard Nixon made an order that the third Monday in February should be now a holiday. Here's the thing though: According to the United States laws, that holiday is still called Washington's Birthday. The name never officially changed to Presidents' Day. But since the laws allowed local governments and private businesses to name federal holidays whatever they want, most states call it Presidents' Day. Many stores also make use of this second name to boost February sales.
Two other presidents celebrated birthdays in February, William Henry Harrison (February 9) and Ronald Reagan (February 6)．
1．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A．The beginning of Presidents' Day.
B．People's love for George Washington.
C．The story behind America's first president.
D．The difference between different calendars.
2．Why did Congress introduce the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill in 1968
A．To create more federal holidays.
B．To give the holiday an official name.
C．To celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday.
D．To increase the number of longer weekends.
3．What can we learn about Presidents' Day
A．President Richard Nixon created it.
B．It is the official name for the holiday.
C．Illinois was the first state to celebrate it.
D．It's called Washington's Birthday officially.
4．What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Hold. B．Increase.
C．Record. D．Show.
B
The origins of the Christmas traditions are the most fascinating of any holiday. All our favorite activities can be traced (追溯) back to specific points in history, and knowing how these things came about just makes celebrating Christmas much more wonderful.
The original Nicholas was born in 280 A．D. in the small country of Lycia, which is now part of modern Turkey. Nicholas became first a priest (牧师) and then a bishop (主教) in the early Christian church. The first paintings of him show Nicholas wearing the clothes of a Christian bishop — red decorated with white. When we see Santa's suit today, we're still seeing the two kinds of colors.
Nicholas became famous for gift giving. In the early fourth century, a legend began to spread about Nicholas coming at night to the home of three poor girls who did not have money and therefore could not get married. While the girls slept, Nicholas left gold coins in their stockings, which were drying by the fire. That's how the tradition of Santa filling stockings got its start.
In 1841, Santa first appeared at a department store in Philadelphia. This Santa tried to climb down a chimney to impress the children who were watching, but he got stuck halfway down. In 1890, department store Santas began appearing all over America, especially on the East Coast around Boston. Parents in other countries joined together and hired passenger trains to take their families to see these Santas.
At the same time, Ralph E. Morris of the New England Telephone Company suggested that strings of lights be hung on Christmas trees. After all, lights would be much safer than candles. Our modern day image of Santa as a fat man is based on ads of the Coca Cola company in the 1930s. Artist Hans Sundblom used a retired salesman named Les Prentice as his model.
1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A．Christmas is the most important holiday.
B．The traditions of Christmas are based on facts.
C．There was not any record of Christmas in the past.
D．More and more people begin to celebrate Christmas.
2．What do we know about Nicholas
A．He set up the first Christian church.
B．He was called Santa Claus when he was born.
C．His clothes are similar to Santa's suit in color.
D．His image is the same as the modern day Santa.
3．Three poor girls are mentioned to ________.
A．prove that Nicholas used to be a rich man
B．tell of the origin of Santa filling stockings
C．show Christmas was set up mainly for the poor
D．describe a famous story in the early fourth century
4．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A．Santa didn't become popular until the year 1890.
B．Candles have never been used on Christmas trees.
C．The Coca Cola company designed the image of Santa.
D．Santa began giving gifts by climbing down chimneys in 1841.
【七选五】
Preparing healthy and fresh meals three times a day takes a lot of time. __1__ But how do we still keep healthy when we eat out There are a few simple things we can do.
The first thing to consider is the portion size (分量).

However, we all want to be satisfied at the end of a meal. __3__ We can achieve it by controlling our appetite (食欲). One way is to carry around healthy snacks that you can take between meals to help with hunger. __4__ Not only is water important to your health, but it'll help you become full faster.
__5__ Most menus now have meals with low fat. Order those meals when you eat out. Also think about healthy soup instead of sods drinks.

M: This morning I want to tell the group about my goals.
I am very interested in using “online community” as a means of helping the world become a better place. I believe we all have our own idea for making the world a better place. For me, it's about giving people a way to come together and talk about ideas. A “forum ”is a way to make an “online community”.
I am very interested in environmental issues. I want to support shared information and discussions about these issues.
I am interested in these forums going in their own way. I love the idea of people taking matters into their own hands and building their own things that fit their dreams.
I have a long history with the Internet. I have been using the Internet and other related systems since 1985 or 1986. I have worked in the Silicon Valley tech industry for a long time.
I see my role as supporting the group to have a voice, to discuss things together, and to share ideas.
