In the USA, the most popular way to welcome the New Year is with a big party. Some parties are at private homes. But in recent years, it has become more and more common for Americans to go to a hotel or eating-place on the night of December 31st. There, they can eat a big dinner, drink champagne, and dance to orchestra music.
Most New Year’s parties are usually noisy. People shout and sing. Bands play. And often, guests blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight. This tradition of noise making is believed to start centuries ago. People thought that loud sounds would drive away the bad spirits of the old year.
The biggest, noisiest New Year’s party in the USA takes place in Times Square in New York. Thousands of people gather (聚集) there. Some of them ring bells and set fireworks others blow whistles or car horns (喇叭). And at twelve o’clock they begin to cheer as an electric sign in the shape of a red apple lights up on top of a tall building.
The Times Square celebration includes another well-known American tradition. Since 1929, the band of musician Guy Lombardo, has given a concert on New Year’s Eve. Guy Lombardo died in 1977. But, Bill Lombardo has kept the tradition alive with a band concert at a New York hotel. When the crowds in Times Square start cheering the arrival of the New Year, television cameras show the band playing the song Auld Llang Syne.

A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.
In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.
There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them--and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!
School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus.
51．According to Dr. Frank, ______school buses are safer for the students.
A．yellow B．black C．white
52．According to the passage, in which country do the school buses have trackers
A．France B．Britain C．German
53．Children in Japan may easily ______ by taking the school bus.
A．save time B．love their school C．play games
54．Chinese students will save a lot of time to ______ to school.
A．walk B．take a school bus C．ride a bike
55．This passage is mainly about______ .
A．school buses B．school life C．popular colors

81．Dear Jack,
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming in a few days. I'm writing to invite you to spend the festival with my family. To remember Qu Yuan, Chinese people have been celebrating it on May 5th of the lunar calendar for centuries. On that day, we'll try to make zongzi with my grandma's help. In the afternoon, we are going to watch the boat races held in Dongpo Lake at 2 o'clock. During the exciting races, the dragon boat teams compete with each other while people on each bank cheer up. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic day. Wish you will join us.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
