No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world had a No Car Day.
The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities, including Taipei. Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.
In Beijing, more and more people are joining in the campaign（活动）. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on people not to use cars on June 5 (World Environment Day). The slogan（口号） for the day is “If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.”
Up to now, more than 200, 000 drivers have shown their support. “We can’t control the weather, but we can choose not to drive,” said Wu Zhonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have more blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2007, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period last year. Much of the dust（灰尘） comes from the desert（沙漠）, but cars cause most of the air pollution. We must do more for No Car Day.

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st-January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal (正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the new wear with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of (摆脱) bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (重新). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!
31．The reading is mainly about________.

C．what to eat on New Year’s Day
D．why people dress up nicely on New Year’s Day

C．people in Ecuador go to parties on December 31st-January 1st
D．no cultures do special things to celebrate New Year

A．bring good luck B．keep away bad luck
C．forget everything D．plan for the next year
34．To have a happy new year,________ .
A．friends talk to each other in special ways
B．families make big dolls filled with old clothes
C．some people get up early to watch the sunrise
D．Europeans eat 365 grapes on New Year’s Day

Carnival (狂欢节) is one of the most important national holidays in Brazil. It is not held to celebrate a big historical event, but it is a time of friendship and freedom (自由). Besides this, it’s also a time when Brazilians don’t have to work. People can choose to hold parties or just have a good rest instead. Most people hold parties, day after day, night after night. There is a forty-day period called Lent (大斋期) before Easter. During that period, Christians (基督教徒) can’t eat meat or take part in any activities.
Carnival is held during the four days before the start of Lent. People put on their holiday clothes and go out to enjoy themselves. Also, some dance schools often hold activities to show their dances. Many people enjoy this festival. After Carnival, everything returns to the normal state, but this custom isn’t followed by some people. They always continue their parties. Like other parties, these people sing, dance and have fun. However, some people are not happy with this behavior and they feel it leaves a bad image of the holiday. I like Carnival. It’s a time for people from all over the world to get together and understand each other better. It’s a wonderful holiday and I hope more people will respect it.
