Xi’an celebrated the first-ever China Hanfu Day on April 18. There were shows which were held by people wearing traditional Chinese clothing——Hanfu. Hanfu fans from all over China gathered there to take photos and put them online for a Hanfu photo competition,which lasted until May 18.
China Hanfu Day is in the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar( 农历), which is said to be the birthday of the Yellow Emperor.In ancient China, this day was also calledShangsi Festival ( 上巳节 ). Its purpose is to encourage young Chinese to take pride in traditional clothing.
Hanfu is the traditional clothing of the Han people who lived in China before the QingDynasty. It has a history of about 3,000 years.And it has changed greatly so far. However,some of its main characteristics(特点 ) remain.For example, there are two parts that overlap(交叠) on the front, which is called“jiao ling”. Another main characteristic of Hanfu is that it usually uses ribbons(系带) instead of buttons.
China is becoming a leading country in the world, so the Chinese people feel more confident about Chinese traditional culture than ever before.

Passage 4
Pei Ju was a government official who served during both the Sui(581-618) and Tang(618-907) dynasties, but he had very different reputations(名声) in these two periods.
According to historical records, Pei often flattered (奉承) Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty. He never disagreed with the emperor’s ideas, even though he knew they might be wrong. Knowing that Emperor Yangdi was very warlike, Pei suggested fighting many wars.This, however, led to Sui's downfall, as the wars cost too many human and material resources.
When the Tang Dynasty was set up, Pei started to work for the new government. He seemed to become a totally different person.Instead of flattering Emperor Taizong, Pei always spoke out against his wrongs and tried his best to help Taizong make the right decisions.
Why did Pei change
According to Chinese historian Sima Guang(1019–1086), Pei was affected by who he worked for. Emperor Yangdi hated to be criticized(批评), while Emperor Taizong loved to hear frank(直率的) advice. That made the difference.
In this story, Pei Ju may not be a perfect role model for us. He seemed to be a person who“trims his sail to the wind(见风使舵)”.What we can learn from this, however, is that our environment makes a difference. A good environment encourages you to do good deeds(行为), while a bad one may lead you to do undesirable ( 不 好 的 ) things. That ’s why people say“a fine bird rests only on a fine tree,and a virtuous minister only serves a virtuous master(良禽择木而栖,贤臣择主而事)”. We should also try to put ourselves in a good environment where we can meet good teachers and friends.
On the other hand, the story also shows that only those who are willing to hear criticism can benefit from it.
In 2012, President Xi Jinping told this story at the Party School of the Central Committee of CPC( 中央党校). He said that government officials should be open-minded and welcome frank advice.
This also applies to us. Do you want fake friends who only please you but don’t care about you, or true friends who can point out your mistakes It's up to you.
( ) 1. What was Pei like when he was an official during the Sui Dynasty
A. He always agreed with the emperor.
B. He knew very little about the emperor.
C. He fought many wars for the emperor.
D. He never spoke in front of the emperor.
( )2. Why was Pei so honest with EmperorTaizong
A. Because Taizong treated him well.
B. Because he enjoyed challenging others.
C. Because Taizong could accept frank advice.
D. Because he didn’ t like the new government.
( )3. The underlined(画线的) word“benefit”means“ ”in Chinese.
A. 受难 B.经历 C. 回避 D. 受益
( )4. What can we learn from the story
A. We shouldn't make friends with people like Pei.
B. We should be open-minded and welcome frank advice.
C. Being frank with others can stop us from making new friends.
D. Criticizing others can help us improve.

My Favorite Chinese Festival
As we all know, there are many traditional festivals in China. Among them, I like the Spring Festival best.
It comes in January or February. It is a time for family members to get together. On the eve of the Spring Festival, all the family members enjoy different kinds of food, such as dumplings and fish.We also watch the Spring Festival Gala and stay up late , hoping to have a new start in the following year.
The Spring Festival can make us not only feel happy and relaxed, but also understand the importance of home and family
