Sally was my best friend and she loved giving people gifts. For 34 years, she searched for the perfect gifts for me and made each birthday and holiday special with her thoughtful gifts. Sadly, she got a serious illness and spent much of the last few years of her life in competing against death. She died in February, 2019.
My birthday is in November. On the weekend of my birthday in 2019, three large boxes arrived in the mail. My husband carried them home with difficulty. We looked at them in surprise, not knowing the return address. I opened the first box and found a birthday card signed (签名) by Sally and a note from Sally’s elder brother. The note told me that she had put these together and asked him to mail them to me for my first birthday after she died.
What were the gifts They were gifts of love: photos of the two of us, memorabilia (纪念品) from trips that the two of us had taken together, a travel diary from one of the trips; gifts I had made for her, books that she loved and knew I would want and then the earrings. Both of us loved earrings and for years, we had shopped for earrings together. We had given each other earrings. And in the box were all of her earrings. At this point, I can’t remember who first bought or owned the earrings but I know that each morning I put on earrings from Sally’s collection and smile. I remember that she spent time in that painful year thinking of me and planning a birthday gift for me that she would not see.
26．What can we know about Sally from the first paragraph
A．She died of a serious illness. B．She has been dead for 34 years.
C．She often made gifts by herself. D．She always celebrated her birthday.
27．Who wrote the note
A．Sally. B．Sally’s elder brother. C．The writer. D．The writer’s husband.
28．What does the writer do every morning
A．She takes a photo of herself. B．She smiles at Sally’s photo.
C．She reads a book from Sally. D．She puts on earrings from Sally.
29．What can we learn from the text
A．Sally’s birthday was in November.
B．The birthday card was in the third box.
C．There were six kinds of gifts in the three boxes.
D．The writer can remember who first bought the earrings clearly.

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people, it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual(年度的)celebration are determined(决定)by the lunar calendar rather than(而不是)the Gregorian calendar(公历), so the timing of the holiday varies(变化)from late January to early February. To the ordinary(普通的)Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the Lunar New Year’s Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first lunar month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival(元宵节), means the official(正式的)end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.
35．What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase(词组)
A．日历 B．月份 C．阴历 D．季节
36．When does the festival begin to the ordinary Chinese
A．On the eve of the Lunar New Year’s Day. B．On the first day of the first lunar month.
C．On the fifth day of the first lunar month. D．On the 15th day of the first lunar month.
37．When is the Lantern Festival
A．On the first day of the first lunar month. B．On the fifth day of the second lunar month.
C．On the first day of the second lunar month. D．On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

88．Me in the mirror
Looking at myself in the mirror, I know I am an outgoing girl. I like to make friends and I'm always ready to help them. So I'm very popular in my school. But I have a big problem, I'm less interested in my lessons and I can t concentrate in class. In my spare time I spend too much time on computer games, so I don' t get good grades which make my parents disappointed.
When I go to senior high school I hope to get along well with my classmates and try to make more friends. I hope we can help each other and learn from each other. I will make a good study resolution and try my best to go for it. I decide to have a healthier lifestyle. I'll spend more time on my schoolwork and develop good learning habits. I will concentrate more in class and finish my study tasks carefully. What's more, I will read more books and master good leaning methods. I hope to make great progress and make my parents proud of me.
