Growing up in an Italian-American household was, for me, pretty special. My mother, Gina, an immigrant(移民) from Calabria, held onto so many of her family’s traditions that at times, in spite of the fact that I was living in the United States, our home felt like part of Italy.
To this day, my mother only speaks to me in Italian, and our conversations are, for the most part, in her mother tongue. And most of those conversations are about food. For us, Italian food is an important part of our lives.
My mom grew up on a farm where the fruits of their labor directly turned into the food on the table, and wasting any of it was unacceptable. Every day was “Thanksgiving” because times were tough, so how food found its way onto the table was a holy (神圣的) matter. One of the greatest lessons my mother taught me in the kitchen is to cook what you have on hand, and to never let anything go to waste.
So, when I take a perfect little arancini (意大利饭团) out of the hot oil, I am immediately transported back to my childhood. I am a little girl getting off the bus and running through the back door to the smell of the food. This small snack emblematizes so many important parts in my life about my heritage through food.
Heritage food is Sunday dinner with the family. When we recreate dishes like that, we feel a sense of pride and also a sense of continuity. Heritage food is the love we receive from our parents and grandparents, and it’s the love we in turn give to our children and grandchildren. Heritage food is food that makes you feel safe and protected wherever and whenever you eat it.
Eating arancini, and all the other recipes my mother continues to make here in the U.S. after leaving Italy, allows her to teach me who I am, where I come from, and why I should be proud of it all.
24. What can we learn about the author’s mother
A. She is very tough on her children.
B. She refuses to learn to speak English.

D. The food was delivered to her family on Thanksgiving.

Born in Ayrshire, in 1759 to William Burness, a poor farmer, Robert Burns was the eldest of seven children. He spent his youth working on his father’s farm, but in spite of being poor he also read a lot. His father employed a teacher for Robert and his younger brother Gilbert. At l5 Robert was the principal worker on the farm and this encouraged him to start writing. It was at this age that Robert wrote his first poem Handsome Nell.
When his father died in 1784, Robert and his brother became partners on the farm. However, Robert was more interested in the romantic nature of poetry than the hard work of farming.
However, at the point of giving up farming, his first collection Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect was published and received much praise from critics. This, together with pride of being a parent, made him stay in Scotland. He moved around the country, finally arriving in Edinburgh, where he joined the circles of the artists and writers who were called the “Ploughman Poet”.
In a matter of weeks he was changed from a local hero to a national celebrity(名人). The fame did not bring a fortune and he took up a job to make additions to the low income. While working he continued to write, contributing
songs to the likes of James Johnson’s Scots Musical Museum and George Thomson’s A Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs for the voice. In all, more than 400 of Robert’s songs are still in existence.
The last years of Robert’s life were devoted to writing great poetic masterpieces such as The Lea Rig, Tam o’Shanter and A Red, Red Rose. At the age of 37, he died of heart disease caused by the hard physical work he did when he was young.
On the day of his burial tens of thousands of people came to watch and pay their respect. However, his popularity then was nothing compared to the heights it has reached since. On the anniversary(周年纪念) of his birth, Scots both at home and abroad celebrate Robert Burns with a supper — a celebration which would undoubtedly make him proud.
What can we learn about the childhood of Robert Burns
He was born to a rich family.
He was lucky to receive education.
He worked in a factory at an early age.
He was taught by his parents and brothers.
29. What was people’s response to his first collection

30. What did Robert Burns do after becoming famous
A. He went on writing while working.
B. He helped other writers create poems.
C. He moved abroad and lived a hard life.
D. He became the richest writer in Scotland.
31. What does the text mainly talk about

B. The life story of a Scottish Poet.
C. The development of English arts.
D. The introduction of Scottish culture.

Seattle is believed to be the first major U.S. city to stop using plastic straws (吸
管) , according to Seattle Public Utilities. The eco-conscious city has been an environmental leader in the U.S., working to reduce the amount of trash that goes into landfills.
A decade ago, the city passed a law requiring that all single-use food-service items be degradable or recyclable. But straws were not included because there were no other good choices. So straws stayed, with the environmental problems.
Most plastic straws aren’t heavy enough to make them through recycling sorters and can ruin an otherwise good load of recycling. Or they end up getting blown out of trash cans and finally in the oceans, hurting marine wildlife.
Strawless Ocean says that 71 percent of seabirds and 30 percent of turtles have some kind of plastic in their stomachs. The organization says plastic can increase the death rate of marine life by 50 percent.
Now customers at stores, restaurants, food trucks have to find another way to get liquid into their mouths. Degradable paper straws are allowed under the ban. People who have a medical need to use a straw are not included.
Any law-breaking activity may result in a fine of up to $250, but city officials say they would work with businesses to make the changes. In September, 150 business took part in Strawless in Seattle, a try to reduce the use of plastic straws. In that month alone, 2.3 million plastic straws were removed from the city.
Why were straws kept out of the law ten years ago
They were handled properly.
They caused fewer problems.
They weren’t easily replaced.
They attracted little attention.
What is mentioned about plastic straws
They are difficult to recycle.
They lower turtles’ birth rate.
They destroy recycling sorters.
They are more accepted than paper ones.
What can we learn about the ban in the last paragraph
A. It brought about lots of fines.
B. It received positive responses.
C. It had made Seattle strawless.
D. It affected businesses’ profits.
35. What is the best title of the text
A. Seattle Bans the Use of Food-service Items
B. Seattle Works to Protect the Environment
C. Seattle Successfully Bans People from Using Straws
D. Seattle Becomes the First Major US City to Ban Plastic Straws

36 In ancient times, most festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.
Some festivals are held to honor the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, for example, people should go to clean graves, light incense and lamps, and play music. 37
38 The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan while in the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World.
Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. 39 In Europe, people often decorate churches and town halls and get together to have meals.
The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring.

One possible version:
Dear Charlie,
How is everything going I’m glad to know that you take an interest in Chinese culture and that you want to know something about my family values.
Actually, my family values have been passed down for generations. My grandparents and parents always stress the importance of honesty, bravery, perseverance and diligence and most importantly, they have set good examples to me. My family values have a profound influence on me, and therefore I always follow what they have taught me. For example, be friendly to others and offer a helping hand when others are in need.
I hope you are satisfied with my introduction. By the way, I sincerely invite you to come to China to explore more Chinese culture by yourself. You are warmly welcome!
Yours,
Li Hua
