Three students are talking about the New Year tradition of their own country.
A. Christina from Spain
On the last day of the year, the 31st of December, people wait till 12 pm. Everybody must have 12 grapes to eat at midnight. At each sound of the clock, we must eat a grape. But we can't ever finish eating the grapes on time! Usually when people still have some grapes in their mouths, they look at each other and start to laugh. This tradition started in Spain long ago. One year, when there were a lot of grapes, the king of Spain decided to give grapes to everybody to eat on New Year's Eve.
B. Cordon from Britain
On New Year's Day in Britain, people have parties. At 12 o'clock, the music stops, and we listen to the radio. On the radio we hear Big Ben, the famous clock in London. Then everybody sings a song about friendship and kisses their friends. We say “Happy New Year” to each other. It's lucky if a tall man with dark hair is the first person to come to the house in the New Year. So I go and visit as many friends as I can. They all give me a drink.
C. Angela from Brazil
In all cities in Brazil, we have a big party on New Year's Eve, especially in Rio de Janeiro. People in this city go to the beaches to watch fireworks (焰火).

On a weekend during the National Day, my parents and I were sitting in a restaurant. The drinks and food were good, so when we finished, my father left a tip. As we were about to open the door, the waiter caught up with us. He gave the tip back to us. My dad forgot that here is China, and tipping is not common.
However, in some countries, tipping is the norm. That's the way it is in the US. It's said to be good manners to tip your waiter, taxi driver, hairdresser, doorman and so on. And how much you tip depends on the service, which can really put your math skills to the test! But we usually give a tip that is 15～20% of the bill.
So why is there a strong custom of tipping In the US, waiters have a very low income(收入). They depend on tips to pay their bills. As an American writer once wrote about her experience as a waitress, “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips.”

Families can also share the happenings of the day and plan for the next day while eating dinner together. No matter what you do, you know your family best, so just find an activity that you can agree on and you must have fun!
If your families like films, then take out a bowl of popcorn and put it on the table for the family, see a film while eating the popcorn at weekends. After one week hard work, families really want to relax and enjoy the quiet family time.
Going camping in the mountains and forests for the weekend is another good way to spend family time, and it's a great way to have a holiday too!
Every city has its own special sights and museums. Why not use these as a way to spend time together You can learn something new and there's usually something of interest at most museums for everyone in your family.

Father's Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother's Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother's Day, we should also have a Father's Day. Father's Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers (店主)found it was a good way to get people to buy presents from their shops for their fathers.
By the way, very few countries have a Father's Day, though some have Children's Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother's Day, so maybe Father's Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father's Day The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do—buy a Father's Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father's Day present—not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father's Day present for their grandfathers.
The important thing to remember about Father's Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.
(　　)67. Which of the following is NOT true
A. Very few countries have a Father's Day.
B. Americans never care about Father's Day.

A well known poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu tells of a scene in early April: “Rain falls heavily as Qingming comes, and passers by with lowered spirits go.”
This scene takes place on Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as the Qingming Festival. Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival. It began in the Zhou Dynasty, over 2, 500 years ago. Chinese people celebrate it to remember and honor their ancestors(祖先). Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday in China in 2008. People have one day off for that day.
On this day, families bring flowers, food and wine to the grave sites(墓地)of their ancestors. They place cakes, fruits in front of the grave and some may burn joss paper as money for the dead. After that, they sweep the tombs and cherish(怀念)the memories of their dead family members.
Tomb Sweeping Day gives us a chance to show respect to our ancestors and family members who have passed away and show that we miss them. This tradition shows that family values are an important part of Chinese culture.
Tomb Sweeping Day is also the beginning of the time for gardening and outdoor activities in China. Families often get together for outings or to fly kites at this time.
(　　)70. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “passers by”
A. 行人 B. 陌生人 C. 故居 D. 古代
(　　)71. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. We have one day off for Tomb Sweeping Day.

The Spring Festival is the most traditional festival in China. Each Chinese person pays much attention to it. When I was a child, I celebrated the Spring Festival with my family in a traditional way, such as helping to clean our houses, pasting red couplets on gates, setting off firecrackers(爆竹), and wearing new clothes. Now, I spend only 4 or 5 days at home with my parents celebrating the Spring Festival, and then I will hurry back to work. Maybe in the near future, I will have no time to celebrate the Spring Festival at my hometown, and my parents have to come to stay with us in the city.
Whether or not, I like the Spring Festival. It is one of the most important parts of our Chinese culture. I will try my best to celebrate it in the traditional way to protect what our ancestors have left behind.

My Favorite Chinese Festival
As we all know, there are many traditional festivals in China. Among them, I like the Spring Festival best.
It comes in January or February. It is a time for family members to get together. On the eve of the Spring Festival①, all family members enjoy different kinds of② food, such as② dumplings and fish. We also watch the Spring Festival Gala and stay up late, hoping to have a new start in the following year.
The Spring Festival can not only make us feel love and happiness, but also realize the importance of home and family.
名师点评: 本文采用“总分总法”介绍“我”最喜欢的中国传统节日: 春节。先写出最喜欢的节日是春节(第一段)。然后详细地介绍春节的时间, 人们吃的食物及具体的活动(第二段)。最后, 总结全文, 表达自己对春节的感受(第三段)。
添彩点: ①On the eve of the Spring Festival是介词短语, 作时间状语。②different kinds of不同种类的; such as例如。这些短语的运用使得文章语言生动, 可读性强。
