When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, many Chinese like to watch or take part in dragon boat races．It is fun and exciting．However, in a small village in Fuzhou, people are busy making dragon boats instead of rowing them during the festival.
Fangzhuang, known as the “Dragon Boat Village”, has a history of more than 700 years of boat-making．It is the biggest dragon boat-making place in China．There are four main factories in the village, including Fang Shaohuang’s.
Fang Shaohuang, a 72-year-old man, has a boat-making factory in Fangzhuang．He began to learn the skill 58 years ago．It is not easy to build a dragon boat because workers need to use many tools and finish all the work by hand, from carving(雕刻) to painting.
“The materials for making the boat are crucial.” Fang said．“We often choose trees over 40 years old．And the wood must be hard and waterproof(耐水的) or the boat can’t be used for a longtime.”
In Fang’s factory, the boats are 18 metres long, and each of them can carry as many as 34 people．It usually takes one worker over 20 days to finish a boat．This year, the four main factories in Fangzhuang made about 200 boats before the festival.
Besides making boats, the factory also welcomes visitors．A number of primary school students and college students come to learn about the traditional boat-making skill．“My nephew(侄子) says he hopes to build a hall for showing our boats so that more young people are able to know about the dragon boat culture,” Fang said.
24．Why is Fangzhuang known as the “Dragon Boat Village”
A．Because it’s famous for dragon boat making.
B．Because it has a long history of dragon boat races.
C．Because the biggest dragon boat race takes place there.
D．Because people living there are good at rowing boats.
25．The underlined word “crucial” probably means ________.
A．very cleanB．very terribleC．very meaningfulD．very important
26．Which of the following is TRUE about the boats in Fang’s factory
A．They are small but heavy.
B．Workers make them by hand.
C．They are made of expensive materials.
D．Each of them can carry over 200 people.
27．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Many students pay a visit to Fang’s factory.
B．Fang hopes to build a hall on the dragon boat.
C．There is a hall for showing dragon boats in Fang’s factory.
D．Few people would like to learn about the boat-making skill now.

A designer is a person who has ideas, but that is not all．A designer plans how to make those ideas happen.
Designers are many things．Designers are artists．They can create(创造) in their minds pictures of their ideas．Designers are scientists(科学家)．They understand how the world works．Designers are inventors(发明家)．They make things that are new and different．Different kinds of designers have different kinds of ideas．A fashion designer designs clothes．A software designer designs computer programs．A landscape designer designs parks and gardens．Other designers design furniture or books or cities．There is no limit (限制) to what people can design.
An idea has to come from somewhere．Why does that idea come into someone’s head Usually it comes from a problem or need.
Long long ago, there were no cars or wagons(马车)．To move something heavy, people had to pull it．That was a problem because it was hard and slow work．Then people noticed that round things roll (翻滚)．Someone designed a way to put rocks or logs under a heavy object．Rolling it was easier than pulling it．People invented the wheel(车轮).

Schools are places for students to learn new things, meet friends and take part in all kinds of activities． 31
Before going to school, most children often spend a few years in a kindergarten(幼儿园)．In China, children start school at the age of six．But no matter(无论) what month they were born(出生) in, they all start school on the same day in September． 32 But if you are in the Netherlands, you don’t have to worry about this．The students there all start school on their fourth birthday, so there are always new students joining in all year round.
33 In Bangladesh, a country to the southwest of China, there are schools on boats．This is because floods(洪水) happen in the country every year．During that period, many schools have to close．This makes millions of children have no places to have lessons．To solve(解决) the problem, the country builds schools on boats．In this way, students can take classes in the flood season.
In many countries, students should wear school uniforms at school．It helps students develop team spirit(精神) and makes it easier for parents to get their children ready for school in the morning． 34 However(然而), in some countries such as the USA and France, school children don’t usually wear uniforms．They think it’s better for students to choose their own clothes to wear.
A．Not all classrooms are in buildings.
B．Also, it can save money for poor families.
