The New Year is a special time for everybody around the world. Let's see how they celebrate it.
Denmark People break plates (盘子) around the front door of their houses. They believe that the more plates they break, the more friends they will meet in the new year.

I am a Grade 9 student. I love the National Day holiday a lot, because I can do many things I enjoy. How did I spend the seven-day holiday last year I didn't travel or visit friends. I found a part-time job.
That was the first time I had been a waiter (服务员). It was harder than I had thought. At first, I was not good at the job, and I nearly spilt (洒出) the soup on a woman's dress. Some people were very unfriendly, and they got angry ( 生气的) with me because of my mistakes. I was so sad and tired that I was almost ready to give up the first afternoon.
A family with three children came to have dinner the next day. The children were asking for things all the time. I tried my best to serve them well. Then the father said to me, “Good job! Thank you very much for helping us.” His words were just like a light in the dark. My tiredness suddenly went away. In the following days, I got used to the job little by little, and I had fun working in the restaurant.
When I got the money at last, I felt very happy. The experience taught me that many jobs are not easy. Everyone is great when they are working hard. The most important thing I learned is how much praise (称赞) matters to people. It can give us lots of strength (力量). I think my National Day holiday last year was interesting and meaningful.

“How was your weekend ” “Did you see the game on TV last night ” “Isn't the weather beautiful today ” These questions and the answers to them are examples of “small talk” — the short, friendly conversations that people have with friends and partners (同伴).
Some people avoid making small talk at work. They think they shouldn't talk about things that aren't important for the job, or their partners will think they aren't serious about their work. And some people just don't enjoy making conversation about themselves.
But small talk is important! Knowing how to make small talk is a skill that can help you a lot. By making conversation, you show that you are friendly and interested in your partners. You become a better team member. If you don't make small talk, others might feel uncomfortable around you and think you're unfriendly. Peter Harper, a manager at the Apex Company in the US, says, “We always look for friendly workers who know how to communicate with each other and with our customers.”
Here are some tips (实用的提示) for successful small talk. You can talk about safe topics (话题) such as the weather, sports, hobbies, TV programmes, and famous people like movie stars, singers, etc. You can also share some information about your family such as birthday parties and other family events ( 重要事情), but don't share very personal information like family problems. You can talk about the news too. But avoid topics on money, age, weight and so on.
Listening is an important part of small talk. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying and ask questions. Don't just talk about yourself. And remember to smile! Making conversation takes practice. The more you do it, the better you'll be at making small talk!
( )11. The writer starts the passage with some examples to _______.
A. give his opinion B. offer some advice
C. introduce the topic D. make some comparisons
( )12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Why some people don't make small talk.
B. Why some people don't trust their partners.
C. How some people learn to be serious about their work.
D. How some people know the importance of sharing their ideas.
( )13. Which of the following will Peter Harper probably agree with
A. Most customers like small talk.
B. A good listener doesn't need to ask questions.
C. If a person is good at communicating, he can be a good worker.
D. Good managers should often make small talk with their workers.
( )14. According to the passage, which of the following is OK for small talk
A. “How old are you ” B. “Who is your favourite actor ”
C. “Why did your brothers fight yesterday ”
D. “How much money did you get last month ”
( )15. Which shows the structure of the passage
(①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2, ...)
A. B.
C. D.

Many of you must have celebrated Father's Day. But have you ever wondered when the holiday started
The idea for the holiday began in the 1900s in Washington, US. A young woman named Sonora Smart Dodd got the idea from a Mother's Day celebration in 1909. She missed her late (已故的) father very much and wanted to create a special day to honour (向……表示敬意) him. Sonora's father, William Jackson Smart, raised her and her five brothers all alone after their mother died. He could have had the children raised by different relatives (亲戚) but he chose to keep the family together. Sonora loved her father and she knew that he was special and great. She decided she wanted to show her thanks for his care and love.
Sonora first wanted to choose 5th June, 1910 as the first Father's Day because it was her father's birthday. But the local government put off the celebration until the 19th in order to allow enough time for the preparations. Then the holiday became popular and in 1972, the American government set the third Sunday of June as Father's Day and made it a national holiday.
Now in many countries people celebrate Father's Day on this day. Children often make cards and meals to show their love for their fathers. Popular gifts also include shirts, socks (短袜) and watches.
Father's Day is a good time to honour a good father. It is a family day for celebration. And it is a day when children both young and old can thank their fathers for the part they play in their lives.
1. Sonora thought of creating a special day to honour her father in the year _______________.
2. Sonora's father raised Sonora and her _______________ all alone after their mother died.
3. The American government set _______________ of June as Father's Day in 1972.
4. Now people around the world celebrate Father's Day by making _______________ for their fathers, and sending gifts.
5. Father's Day is a day for children both young and old to _______________ for what they do.

In 2008, it became a statutory public holiday and people have a three-day holiday. During the holiday, people sweep the tombs of their dead family members and offer sacrifices to their ancestors. What's more, people go on short trips and fly kites, because spring has already come. The Tomb-sweeping Day is not only a time for people to remember their ancestors, but also a time for them to get close to nature and enjoy the coming of spring.
