The Dragon Head Raising Day:time for a haircut
China is a country with many colourful days and festivals.The Dragon Head Raising Day(Longtaitou) is one of them.
This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar.It stands for the start of spring and farming.
The dragon is important in Chinese culture.We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants(传人) of the dragon”.Therefore,people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons.
On the day in ancient times,people put ashes(灰) in the kitchen.This was to “lead the dragon into the house”.People believed that with the help of the dragon,they could have a good harvest(收成) in autumn.
Also,people eat special foods on that day.The foods are usually named after dragons.For example,people eat “dragon whisker(须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.
Today,many customs have faded away(消退).But one that has remained is the cutting of hair.It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother’s brothers.So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

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 the children who have lost their parents,but also friends,workmates,relatives and neighbours 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 neighbours,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 the 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.

Sometimes,you just can’t help it.Maybe you’re watching a sad movie,or thinking about the friend who moved away.Next thing you know,you feel pressure in your throat,your eyes are watering,and you have tears running down your cheeks.
According to Ad Vingerhoets,a professor of psychology at Tilburg University,in the Netherlands,who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying,there are three types of tears.Basal tears are the first type.They act as a protective barrier between the eyes and the rest of the world.Next are reflex tears.They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them.Finally,there are emotional tears.“These are released in response to emotional states,”explains Vingerhoets.
Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learnt to depend on each other.“Humans are very complex social creatures,”says Lauren Bylsma,a professor at the University of Pittsburgh,in Pennsylvania.“It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others,”she says.
Vingerhoets agrees.“I think that the reason why humans shed tears(流眼泪) has something to do with our childhood,”he says.“That’s the time when we are still dependent on adults for love,protection and care.The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person.”Vingerhoets says this ability could have come in handy in prehistoric times,when humans were living among dangerous animals.Tears were a safer way to get attention.“In this case,it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help,” he says.
Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry.According to Bylsma,there is still much more to discover.“It’s surprising,”she says,“How much we still don’t know.”
28.What kind of tears will run down your face when something gets into your eyes
A.Basal tears.
B.Reflex tears.
C.Joyful tears.
D.Emotional tears.
29.In the scientists’ opinion,crying is .
A.a reason of human evolution
B.a result of human kindness
C.a cause of personal growth
D.a means of relying on each other
30.The underlined phrase “this ability” in the last paragraph but one refers to the ability to .
A.seek help wisely
B.aim tears at someone
C.cry emotionally
D.appeal to other people
31.From the text,we learn that Ad Vingerhoets and Lauren Bylsma .
A.hold different opinions about the causes of tears
B.think positively of the effects of tears
C.are working together to study tears
D.have learnt enough about tears

And then from all over the room,people joined in.There were about fifteen people hiding everywhere in the room.
They had got my roommate’s key and got in earlier.They had all planned to come out of the hiding places just at the same time while singing.I guess I really upset their plan by going in just to wash my hands.

Mum and Her Bank Account
My family had the tradition to sit down by the kitchen table every Saturday night to count out the money Dad had brought home.
“These are for the rent,and these for the groceries.”Mum counted out and divided the big silver pieces.
“I’ll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine,my brother Nels or me.
After Mum put one or two coins to the side for the notebook,she said that was all we needed to buy for the week and we all relaxed a little.We didn’t have to go downtown and draw money out of Mum’s bank account,which could always give us such a warm and secure feeling for having enough to afford the life.
When Nels graduated from grammar school,he needed some money for high school.We sat by the table and I offered my “Little Bank” which was used for sudden emergencies such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to see a doctor.I laid the box carefully in front of Mum.After counting out the money in the “Little Bank” and finding there was not enough,we all agreed not to go to the bank but to find some ways.
Nels volunteered to work in Dillon’s grocery after school and Dad said he would give up smoking.Now there was enough money.We felt relieved.
So many things came out of the “Little Bank” that year:Christine’s dress for the school play,Nels’s operation...Whatever happened,we always knew we still had the bank to depend on.We never used her bank account.
That was twenty years ago.
Last year,I sold my first story.When the money came I thought of Mum’s bank account.
So I hurried over to Mum’s home.
Knowing that there was no bank account at all,I felt shocked.

第二节
So I hurried over to Mum’s home.On arriving,I gave the money to Mum and asked her to save it in the bank.Mum said she was very proud of me and asked me to go with her,because she didn’t know how.I asked how she had done that before.She said actually there was no bank account at all in all her life and she had never been to a bank before.
Knowing that there was no bank account at all,I felt shocked.I just didn’t know how to respond.Mum said seriously that it was not good for the kids to worry about life and she wanted us to feel secure.My tears just burst and stories of these years jumped into my mind one by one...I got to feel how deep the love Mum had been giving us.
