The Dragon Head-Raising Day
China is a country with many colourful days and festivals. The Dragon Head-Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them.
This special day falls on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for (代表) the start of spring and fanning. In 2020, the day falls on 24 Feb.
A 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 in autumn.
Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat "dragon whisker (龙须)" noodles and dumplings called "dragon teeth".
Today, many customs have faded away (消退). But one that has remained is to have a hair cut. It is 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.

I'm writing this article in China, far away from my home in the United States. You might wonder what I do for my mum on Mother's Day. Well, I certainly call her to say "Happy Mother's Day" and promise that I will visit home soon.
I still remember the first time I forgot Mother's Day. When I finally figured it out, I asked, "Why does Mum get a special holiday Why isn't there a Children's Day for us "
My mum explained, in that way that only mums seem to be able to explain, "Because every day is Children's Day!"
I knew that I had messed up. I thought about the love my mum had given me all the time. I thought about the food she had made, the toys she had bought and the long hours she had spent with me. There might not be a perfect mum, but there is Mum's love, which can fix anything. After that day, for 364 days, I was looking forward to the next Mother's Day.
That was the first year I forgot Mother's Day. It was also the last year I forgot.
Are you struggling to consider what to do for your mum on Mother's Day Common things are to write a message that thanks for the love she has given you, send her a card or buy her a gift. But the most important thing is—DON'T FORGET!
1.How does the writer celebrate Mother's Day this year
A. He calls his mum.
B. He sends his mum a card.
C. He visits home to see his mum.
2.What might the underlined phrase ''figured it out" mean
A. 弄清楚它 B.预料到它 C.归纳出它
3.Why did the writer begin to expect Mother's Day
A. Because he missed his mum far in the United States.
B. Because he wanted to spend more time with his mum.
C. Because he realised he had got much care from his mum.
4.What is the purpose of the passage
A. To explain why there isn't a Children's Day.
B. To advise us not to forget to keep our own promises.
C. To remind us to remember the love Mum has given us.
5.Which is the best title for the passage
A. An Interesting Talk
B. An Important Day
C. An Expensive Gift
