I just marked my first Mid-Autumn Festival celebration in China. Exactly a week after arriving in China, I was kind of homesick. Memories of past 1 back in Serbia (塞尔维亚) always appeared in my mind. On the morning of Friday September 13th, almost everyone on the campus (校园) was very 2 . Chinese students explained to us the importance of the Festival and 3 the folk tales (民间故事) with us happily. At lunchtime, mooncakes were 4 . Then came the night. The full moon appeared: a huge bright ball high above the campus. We all looked at it with 5 . As Serbian music playing on my headphones, I danced my way, lost in the wind, and forgot myself for a 6 .
As I went back into my room, my curious (好奇的) mind 7 me online. There I came across the poem Prelude to Water Melody (水调歌头), written by the well-known Chinese writer Su Dongpo. This poem concisely (精确地) described what he was 8 . Writing to his family, Su 9 what time it was back at home. I was also trying to find out what time it was back at home. In the end, Su asked his family to join him in 10 the moon on a clear night. What a way to finish! I hoped that my family were watching the 11 moon with me at the same time.
And while we may go away from home, the 12 are still the most important to our life. As the 13 use the Mid-Autumn Festival to gather with the loved ones, the Serbian community also get together, share a meal and walk on the streets under the neon lights (霓虹灯).

The New Year is a special time for everybody around the world. Let’s see how they celebrate it.
Denmark People break plates around the front door of their houses. They believe that the more plates they break, the more friends they will meet in the new year. They also jump from a chair when the clock hits 12! They call it “jump into the new year”.
Spain When the clock hits 12, people eat 12 grapes! 12 symbolizes the 12 months in a year. The Spanish people think if you eat grapes, you will have good luck for the whole year.

Founded in 1971, a social service organization is trying to care for any person in need. It serves 15,000 poor people each year. In the beginning, when its members were unable to fully meet certain people’s needs at work, they often entered into discussions, finding how they could help on their own. When Executive Director Bill Sullivan saw what was happening, he had an idea. He organized a team with workers to show their care. And he called the team “the village”
The team wants to help someone achieve his or her goals (目标) and it wants to do so by having workers give away their own time, money, skills, and anything else they could offer. People who work at the organization are encouraged to care for others. “The cool thing about ‘the village’ is that we believe in our workers and the power (力量) of care that lies within them,” said Sullivan.
“The village” allows people to feel comfortable giving what they can, as all donations are unnamed. “Someone who gives away a car is no more important than the person who sits and listens to someone to let him or her feel loved and cared for,” said Sullivan.
The first person getting help from “the village” was a homeless man. Within just three weeks, “the village” provided him with a car, an apartment and other things. The man said that he had lost all hope before he came across “the village”. It gave him a chance to start over. He wanted to give back by volunteering to help others and make a difference in the community.
“The power of care is clear and has lasting influences — not just on the people who receive donations, but also on those giving away things. It can lead to an understanding of ourselves — who we are, and how important we actually are,” Sullivan said. The power of care is great because it provides a goal — something we all try to achieve within our lives. Many call this love.
21．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us
A．The change in the organization. B．The background of “the village”.
C．The difficulty faced by “the village”. D．The achievement of the organization.
22．How did the homeless man in Paragraph 4 probably feel about “the village”
A．Upset but careful. B．Shocked but patient.
C．Doubtful and worried. D．Thankful and encouraged.
23．What does the underlined word “It” refer to
A．Finding a goal. B．The power of care.
C．Giving away things. D．A social service organization.
24．Which of the following about “the village” may Sullivan agree with
A．Material donations are more popular. B．The workers like direct conversations better.
C．Donations in different forms are all welcome. D．The receivers need to know the members’ names.
25．What would be the best title of the passage
A．How to help people in need. B．A helpful and loving “village”.
C．A difficult but meaningful activity. D．How to understand love between people.

Two More Days Off in 2025
①To provide longer breaks for people, public holidays in China will be lengthened (变长) by two days from January 2025, according to new holiday rules announced by officials on Tuesday.
②Under the new plan, the Spring Festival holiday will increase from three to four days, now including Lunar New Year’s Eve on Jan 28, being an eight-day holiday period. The May Day holiday will also grow to two days, with May 2 newly added, creating a five-day break. To achieve longer holiday periods, extra working days before or after the holidays will be set to balance out these longer breaks. For example, for the Spring Festival, Jan 26 and Feb 8 will be set as workdays, allowing people to enjoy an eight-day holiday instead of just four days.
③The changes also have an influence on other public holidays. New Year’s Day on Jan 1, the Tomb-Sweeping Day (清明), and the Dragon Boat Festival holidays will each last three days. Besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday will fall on the same days next year, being in eight-day holiday beginning on Oct 1.
④To solve public worries about extra workdays around long holidays, the new rules say that workdays before and after national holidays will not be more than six days in a row, except in special situations. Since the announcement, data (数据) from travel platforms (平台) has shown a rise in ticket searches and bookings within half an hour. For example, ticket searches for the 2025 Spring Festival holiday on the Internet, were 2.2 times higher than usual, with travelers from cities like Chengdu, Zhengzhou, and Shanghai already booking flights for Lunar New Year’s Eve. Zhou Zitong, a 32-year-old banker in Beijing, expressed support for the new rules but pointed worries about the change affecting his schedule.

Whether it’s one day off or a week, you don’t need to be among people to have a great time. 31 You can spend your holiday on your own doing something you have no time to do in your everyday life.
Eat your favorite food. They can bring you much pleasure for sure. You can make a healthy meal at home. Cook something you love but usually don’t have time to make. Instead of having meals at home, you can also go to a local restaurant for something special. Eat it there, or bring it home. 32
Stay away from technology. You may have a chance to find the real beauty of life. Maybe you can’t help playing with your smart phones all day while you are on holiday alone. Why not create more time to go hiking, fly kites or do some other outdoor activities 33
34 You can go shopping, see a film, or take a class. Take your time to search for something even small that you want. Going to see a movie or a show alone can be a fun experience. Use your holiday as a chance to try something new like dancing or painting.

四、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，然后根据文章内容简要回答第1至5小题，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应位置。
During the holiday, some students are busy with travelling, camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to experience life outside school.
Twelve students sold vegetables at a local market in a big city together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan.
Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.
“Compared with travelling, such social practice makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin, 18, a senior high graduate (毕业生), to The City Morning Post. Dalin and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.
They worked hard to sell their vegetables. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o’clock. Some of them went to the farmers’ market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价) with the sellers.
At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to attract customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.
For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. If the vegetables were too heavy, they would give customers an extra plastic bag.
After they finally packed up and went home, they had a short meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.
“We are tired but happy,” said Dalin, “because we gain a lot.”
