Little New Year usually falls a week before the lunar New Year.It is also known as the Festival of the Kitchen God,the deity(神) who oversees the moral character of each household.Here are six things you should know about the Little New Year,another sign of the start of spring.
1.Offer sacrifices to Kitchen God
One of the most distinctive traditions of the Little New Year is the burning of a paper image of the Kitchen God,who will report on the family’s conduct over the past year.The offerings to the Kitchen God include pig’s head,fish,sweet bean paste,melons,fruit,boiled dumplings,barley sugar,and Guandong candy.Most of the offerings are sweets of various varieties.It is thought that this will seal the Kitchen God’s mouth and encourage him to only say good things about the family when he ascends to heaven to make his report.
2.House cleaning
According to Chinese folk beliefs,during the last month of the year ghosts and deities must choose either to return to Heaven or to stay on Earth.It is believed that in order to ensure the ghosts and deities’ timely departure people must thoroughly clean both their persons and their houses,down to every last drawer and cupboard.

How many phone numbers can you remember by heart It’s probably fewer than you would like.Actually,you’re not alone.Out of more than 1,000 Americans who were surveyed,more than half said that they couldn’t recall the phone numbers of their friends and neighbors.And 44% said that they couldn’t remember their relatives’ phone numbers.In their eyes,there is no point in filling their heads with phone numbers if they’re all stored in smart phones that are with them almost all the time.
In fact,most people are suffering from a sort of digital amnesia(健忘症).More than 90% of those surveyed agreed that they used the Internet as an online extension of their brains.Rote memorization(死记硬背) was once an important part of modern education,but we just need a click or slide now.That’s making us worse at remembering things.
Researchers found that when people expected to have access to information online,they were less likely to remember actual facts,but more likely to remember how to find them.As a result,we are already becoming one with our computer tools,growing into interconnected systems that remember less by knowing information than by knowing where the information can be found.
However,some believe it isn’t necessarily a bad thing — maybe it gives them more chances to think through things.We certainly have access to more knowledge now than ever,even if it isn’t all stored in our brains.
Even so,I still believe that there are more risks to this new world of memory beyond losing our ability to recall some information such as who the 15th President was.That kind of information may always be a click away,but the important things are personal ones,like the way your parents smiled at your wedding.It’s harder to recall or find online.If you’re relying on yourself to keep track of those memories,they will be much more meaningful.
1.Paragraph 1 is mainly used to .
A.serve as the background
B.introduce the topic
C.explain a new research
D.attract readers’ attention
2.What’s the main cause of people’s suffering from digital amnesia
A.Dealing with too many things.
B.Seldom thinking about questions.
C.Relying on the Internet too much.
D.The changes of their memories.
3.It can be learned from the text that .
A.over 90% people are suffering from digital amnesia
B.people can gain knowledge more easily than before
C.rote memorization no longer exists in modern life
D.people find it hard to remember how to find information
4.What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s memories now
A.Worried. B.Optimistic.
C.Disappointed. D.Confident.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
“He who bears the greatest hardship becomes the greatest man.” This idiom shows Chinese people’s traditional belief in the vital role that hardship plays in a person’s life as they grow up.But today,as our lives have greatly improved,do we still need this so-called “hardship education”
“We certainly do,” said Wang Weiqiong,mother of a 15-year-old girl in Jiangxi,“Many children take everything for granted,as they’ve never known how difficult it is to make money.”
Wang is not alone.According to a recent survey of 2,017 people done by China Youth Daily.81.8 percent of the interviewees supported hardship education including experiencing life in poor areas,outdoor training,taking part-time jobs,and doing housework.
Qiao Yu,from Tianjin Foreign Languages School,also supports the idea.“Hardship helps us grow and be prepared for the difficulties of society,” said the 18-year-old,who worked in a cake store this summer.
But while it contributes to students’ development,“hardship education shouldn’t be seen as simply making students suffer,” Sun Yunxiao,deputy director of the China Youth and Children Research Center told China Youth Daily.“It should follow teenagers’ growth.” Sun said that students could also do sports to learn to face difficulties,for doing sports can greatly strengthen their bodies and minds.
