On Boy's Day，children don't have to go to school.Every family with a boy hangs up huge carp-shaped flags.The flags are usually three colors：black(representing the father)，red (representing the mother)and blue(representing the son). Japanese parents believe that the flags will bring their boys good luck and give them courage and power.
May 5th is Japanese Children's Day. But since the festival is mainly celebrated by boys，it is usually called Boy's Day. The celebration of Boy's Day has a long history.It is said that the festival is derived from the Dragon Boat Festival in China.
On this day，Japanese boys eat a special kind of rice cake. It is covered with a leaf and filled with bean paste (豆酱)．Children love to eat it. And eggs on leaves are another traditional food.
Japanese children are so happy that they have three festivals each year. In addition to Boy's Day，they also have Girl's Day and the 7-5-3 Festival.

Singles Day falls on every November 11th，and as the name indicates, this relatively new holiday is one for people who are still living the single life. China is the only country in the world that has set aside a special day for singles to celebrate their lives.
An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives.None of them were married，or had lovers, or did anything exciting.They just sat around all day and played Mahjong(麻将)from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game one day, no matter who won, the winning card was always the “four columns (四条)”and the date was exactly November 11! In honor of the day，they nicknamed it “Singles Day”．
Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing during the 1990s. It got the name Singles Day because the date is comprised (包含) of four“ones”. These college students have since graduated，and carried their university tradition into society.Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.
The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it's important that each person pay their own way to show their independence.People also hold“blind date”parties in an attempt to say goodbye to their single lives.
In addition to meaning “single”，the four “ones”of the date can also mean“only one”as in “the only one for me”．Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only “one” in their hearts.
44．The underlined word “one” in Paragraph 1 refers to____.
A．a name B．a time C．a date D．a holiday
45．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．Single men prefer playing Mahjong together.
B．People's favorite card is always “four columns”．
C．There is often a story behind a festival.
D．Boring single life can help create new festivals.
46．What is the writer's attitude towards celebrating Singles Day?
A．Doubtful. B．Surprised. C．Critical. D．Objective.
D
President Abraham Lincoln often visited hospitals to talk with wounded soldiers during the Civil War.Once，Lincoln went over to the bedside of a young dying soldier.
“Is there anything I can do for you？”asked the President. The soldier obviously didn't recognize Lincoln, and with some effort he was able to whisper, “Would you please write a letter to my mother？”
So the President carefully began writing down the soldier's words，“My dearest mother, I was badly hurt while doing my duty. I'm afraid I'm not going to recover. Don't grieve too much for me, please. Kiss my sister Mary for me.May God bless you and Father.”
The soldier was too weak to continue, so Lincoln signed the letter for him and added, “Written for your son by Abraham Lincoln.”The young man asked to see the note and was astonished when he discovered who had written it.“Are you really the President？”he asked. “Yes, I am，”replied Lincoln quietly.Then he asked if there was anything else he could do.“Would you please hold my hand？”asked the soldier.“It will help to see me through to the end.”
In the quiet room, the tall gaunt (憔悴的)President took the soldier's hand and spoke warm words of encouragement until death came.

Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged，and children who have lost their parents, but also friends，workmates，relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected,_he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered.He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed，other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called“Sweetest Day”．Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift.Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.
Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving，Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.
1．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．Sweetest Day is a day to make others happy.

Some violent computer games are helpful sometimes.They can be used to train people in fire safety, new research has found.Computer games such as Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 can be used to train people the way of escape when fire breaks out by using the games' software code(代码), according to the Durham University researchers.
A 3D model of a real building and three fire escaping situations were programmed in three weeks by a developer，completed with smoke and fire.The Durham experts say this is much quicker and more useful than traditional reality.
The study，published in the Fire Safety Journal，found that the one who plays the games from the First Person Shooter type，in which the player knows the environment well and uses guns to fight a number of enemies, has the greatest ability and methods for escaping and saving others or making himself safer at least.
Earlier research has shown that there are two main reasons why escapes in a real situation fail.One is poor understanding of the exits of the building and the other is that people don't follow escaping steps because of fear or not having been trained to escape.
In the study, the researchers looked at a number of computer games such as Far Cry, Half-Life 2，and Counter-Strike.The research team found these games have some important good points.They can be easily learned and help people find a sure way to escape in dangerous situation.The scientists say the code within these games also make people know easy programming of parts of the game such as wind，smoke，fire and water.
1．In what way are some violent computer games helpful?
A．They can be used to kill time.

“Father Christmas”(or “Santa Claus”) has become the human face of Christmas.Pictures will be seen everywhere of the old man with long white beard，red coat，and bag of toys.Children are taught that he brings them presents the night before Christmas，and many children up to the age of 7 or 8 really believe this is true.In most countries，it is said that he lives near the North Pole，and arrives through the sky on a sledge (snow?cart) pulled by reindeer(驯鹿)．He comes into houses down the chimney at midnight and places presents for the children in socks or bags by their beds or in front of the family Christmas tree.
In shops or at children's parties，someone will dress up as Father Christmas and give small presents to children，or ask them what gifts they want for Christmas.Christmas can be a time of magic and excitement for children.

课时作业(九)
Ⅰ.1.seriously 2.swallows 3.envelope 4.decorations 5.adult 6.merry 7.calendar 8.poles 9.stockings 10.breast
Ⅱ.1.C doing nothing在句中是伴随状语，用来修饰谓语动词sit, do与主语you 之间是主动关系。
2．B 考查连词词义辨析。句意：不要丧失信心。只要你努力工作，你的梦想会实现的。as far as就……而言；as long as只要……就；while然而；so that为了，以致。
3．B stay既可作行为动词，又可作连系动词，由形容词fresh可知此处stay用作系动词，意为“保持(某种状态)”。注意此处不能错选A、C两项，因为连系动词不能用于进行时态和被动语态。
4．C 本题考查连词的用法。由语境分析可知，此处表达的意思为“在公共汽车将要停止的过程中不能下车”，能表达此意的连词只有while，表示“在……过程中”。
5．C 句意：多年之后，他在面对困难时学会了坚持。carry on意为“坚持”符合句意。carry out“实行；实现”；carry away “运走”；carry about“随身携带”。
6．B 句意：要求孩子在玩完玩具后把玩具收起来有助于孩子形成好习惯。put off“延迟”；put away“把……收好”；put up“举起，张贴”；put out“熄灭”。
7．B 句意：山脚下有一个村庄。at the foot of the mountain为表示方位的介词短语，放在句首时，主句用完全倒装语序。
8．C A的用法不对；B位于否定句末尾；而D是“和”的意思。该题是考查放在句子末尾的“也”。句意：我非常喜欢体育。我踢足球也学跆拳道。由句意知要用as well或者too，所以答案选C。
9．D take sth.seriously严肃/认真地对待某事，为固定搭配。
10．D in a mess为固定搭配，意为“处于混乱当中”。in order整齐，状况良好。
Ⅲ.1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，一些暴力电脑游戏可以被用来训练人们火中逃生。
2．C 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，在某些游戏里，玩家如果了解环境而且敢与敌人进行枪战，他们就更有可能在火灾中保全生命，安全撤离，甚至拯救他人。
3．A 主旨大意题。第四段第一句为本段中心句，点出早期研究表明在火灾中人们无法逃生主要有两个原因。该段后半部分对这句话进行了具体解释。
4．D 推理判断题。多数人认为暴力电脑游戏带来的影响都是负面的，然而本文的研究成果证明，看起来很暴力的电脑游戏有时可以拯救生命，因为这样的游戏可以用来训练人们在火灾中保全生命，安全撤离，甚至拯救他人。
5．D 细节理解题。圣诞老人是一个“old man with long white beard，red coat，and bag of toys”，他“arrives through the sky on a sledge(snow?cart) pulled by reindeer”。
6．A 细节理解题。由“St.Nicholas wanted to give money to poor people without them knowing about it.”可知，他不会爬进别人家偷钱。
7．B 细节理解题。从“Nicholas was a Christian leader from Myra (in modern?day Turkey) in the 4th century AD.”一句可以判断Nicholas是Myra人。
8．D 句意理解题。圣诞老人是由某个人装扮的，他在圣诞节这天会给孩子们想要的小礼物，因此孩子们喜欢这个节日。
