Dragon Head Raising Day: time for a haircut
China is a country with many colorful 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. This year, the day falls on March 11.
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 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 (细须)” 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 uncles of a family—mainly mother’s brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

What if there is no TV No video games What would you do for fun You might do some of the things kids in the 1930s did. This was a time many people lost their jobs. Even those who had jobs had a hard time. This time was called the Great Depression in America.
Television was new at that time. They were very hard to see. Most people in the 1930s couldn’t buy a TV. They were too poor. So how did kids in the 1930s spend their time
Many children had to work. Newsboys sold papers. Other kids picked fruit on big farms. Some sold things door-to-door. Most kids gave their money to their parents. It was needed to buy food. Some kids could keep a little money to go to the movies. Then, a child’s ticket cost ten cents. Snow White was one movie kids liked. It was the first cartoon movie ever made. It came out in 1937.
Radio was also new in the 1930s. Many homes had radio sets. People listened to shows that were a little like books on tape. Some effects (效果) made the stories exciting.
Books were a big part of the lives of kids. A good story could take you to exciting places. You could fight a dragon. You could even ride a magic carpet (毯子)!
Kids of the 1930s didn’t have TV. They had very little money. But they found lots of ways to have fun.

In many people’s minds, it is bad to fail. When they do, others will look down on them. 76 However, failures don’t have to make us losers. All of us may fail sometimes. So, don’t feel bad about yourself because of your failures. 77 If so, you will get better and grow.
Many famous people had failures before they became successful. Also, they aren’t afraid to share them with others. 78 It is the International Day for Failure.
The International Day for Failure is on October 13. Some students in Finland started it. The students found that Finland needed a lot of new jobs, but few people wanted to give them a try. 79 Then the students came up with the idea—starting the Day for Failure.
In 2010, some students in Finland celebrated the first Day for Failure. The next year, many famous people in Finland joined the students and shared their failure stories. 80 About 17 countries celebrated it. Now people around the world celebrate it every October.
So, this October 13th, join them and celebrate your failure with the world.

Where’s my food
Will you lose your favorite things to eat Climate change (气候变化) might be “eating up” your favorite food! New studies showed that because of climate change, some food such as chocolate, honey and peanuts are becoming “endangered”. Why Let’s take a closer look.
Honey
Bees live on pollen (花粉). But rising carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) makes the pollen have less protein (蛋白质) in it. Pollen is becoming junk food for bees! Bees aren’t getting enough nutrition (营养). They may die out. Warmer temperatures also make plants flower earlier. It’s so early that bees may still be little babies. They are not old enough to pollinate (授粉) them. The fewer bees there are to pollinate, the less honey they make.
Coffee
South America, Africa, Asia and Hawaii are home to coffee. But temperatures are rising in these places. This makes it easier for viruses (病毒) and bugs to grow. They may hurt the coffee plants. The result Big cuts in coffee beans and less coffee in your cup.
Scientists said that if Earth keeps warming up, half of the coffee production areas won’t be there by the year 2050.
Peanuts
Peanut plants grow best when they get five months of warm weather and 50-100 centimeters of rain each year. That’s not good news if there will be more bad weather, such as droughts (干旱) and heat waves.
In 2022, the drought across the peanut-growing southeastern US led many plants to die. According to CNN, that caused peanut prices to rise by as much as 40 percent!
Seafood
As air temperatures rise, oceans become hotter. Fish eggs find it hard to live in warmer water. So there will be fewer fish there. Warmer temperatures also make bacteria (细菌) grow in water. That will cause illness in humans if they eat raw (生的) seafood.
Chocolate
Cacao trees actually like warmer climates as long as there is also a lot of rain. But according to the 2014 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the problem is that the world’s biggest chocolate-producing countries (Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Indonesia) are not getting enough rain now. The hot temperature makes the soil (土壤) dry. This could reduce cocoa production.

V. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。（10分）
Did you know that when you're kind to others, it's also good for yourself Even small acts of kindness can raise 86 (you) confidence and help you feel more connected to the people around you.
Kindness means doing something thoughtful for others without 87 (expect) anything in return. It can be a small and simple act, like holding a door open, or something that 88 (take) time and effort, like making a gift for your friend by hand. Kindness isn't just something you do; it also means being caring and considerate (考虑周到的) toward other people's 89 (feeling）， as well as your own.
Scientists have discovered 90 when you're kind to someone, your body is filled with
chemicals that make you feel calmer, healthier and 91 (happy). When you volunteer for a
charity, for example, you feel part of a community. This can improve your self-esteem (自尊心) and build friendships. Kindness is also something that spreads, like ripples (涟漪) in a pond. If you do a good deed for others, they might 92 (inspire) to do the same.
Studies show that kindness is something that we learn and get better at with practice. So start
93 something simple and easy, like messaging a friend who you 94 （lose）contact with for a while. Try to do something you enjoy, while keeping in mind that you're doing it for others, and see if you can turn kindness into 95 habit.
