Dear Peter,
I’m really excited to know that you're going to give a speech about traditional Chinese festivals. I strongly suggest you choose the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival usually falls in late January or early February. Ahead of its arrival, every family is busy cleaning their houses to get rid of the old and welcome the new. Red couplets are pasted on doors, which are thought to drive away evil spirits. On New Year’s Eve, a big family dinner is held, where various delicious dishes are served. Dumplings are especially popular, as they are believed to bring wealth. During the festival, people visit each other, exchange red envelopes and wishes. Fireworks are set off everywhere, adding to the festive mood.
I hope this information will be of great help to your speech. Looking forward to hearing all about it.
Yours,
Li Hua

After what seemed like a century, the interviewer opened his month, “You should wear a dirty shirt for the interview. It seems that you don’t take it seriously. ” Jimmy wanted to explain, but the interviewer just signed to him to leave.
Disappointed, Jimmy left the office and unexpectedly met with Mr. Anderson.“Young man, you failed your interview because of your dirty shirt ” Mr. Anderson asked, with a smile on his face. When hearing the question, Jimmy nodded his head, feeling his face burning. “Do you regret helping me ” Mr. Anderson asked seriously. “No,” Jimmy answered firmly with a sincere expression and added he would come to others’ help as long as he was needed. Mr. Anderson nodded approvingly. “Congratulations, young man. You have passed the real interview.” It turned out the old man was the General Manager of the company.

W: Adam, did you finish the men’s marathon event last week
M: No. I would have died if I hadn’t given up. You know, 18 of 73 failed to complete the course.
W: I heard in the women’s marathon event 28 of 68 competitors who started the race failed to finish.
M: That’s true. My friend Jennifer didn’t finish it, either. Though we had received much training for the races, we just couldn’t finish it. Though the races were held at midnight, the temperature was still 38℃ at the time.

W: John, did you go to China with your parents as planned in the summer
M: No. My father had to take a business trip in Kenya, so I went to that country with him instead. It was a great opportunity for me because I had always wanted to see wild animals there.
W: So did you have a great time there
M: Yes. I saw many big animals there. But I also experienced something very bad. While I was visiting a village there, I saw some men killing an elephant.
W: What I just couldn’t believe that. Why did they do that
M: Well, the elephant was damaging their farm. The men didn’t want their farm to get damaged.
W: That’s really sad. I do hope there’ll be safe methods to keep elephants from eating crops.
M: Me, too. Also, I think farmers should plant new crops that require less land so that elephants can have more land to live on. After all, farmers are taking up their land.
W:I cannot agree more.

W: Really I didn’t think you liked her that much. I thought you liked Justin Lakeford better.

W: Did you notice how Brenda and all of the other dancers on stage moved together when they danced Their costumes were also amazing!
M: There’s no doubt about it. All of her costumes looked great! I am going to watch the video and learn some of those dance steps so that I can perform them in our school talent show.
W: Great idea!

A Chinese TV play, The Long Night has enjoyed great popularity, getting a high score of 9.2/10 on Douban. Viewers all spoke highly of this drama, saying it is even better than the original work.
As TV series such as The Bad Kids, Nothing but Thirty and Horizon Tower are still popular, netizens become excited and think that domestic(国内的) dramas are worthy of being followed. The Long Night, for example, makes people realize that everything can be easily imitated and copied except the understanding and search for aesthetics(美). Imitated or copied dramas often have no soul.
However, quite a few Chinese dramas prefer repeating or copying the content and theme in other dramas or their own ones.
Daylight Entertainment produced Ode to Joy(《欢乐颂》) to reveal the happiness and sadness of city beauties, receiving many positive comments. However, after the reproduction of Ode to Joy 2, All Is Well, and If There's No Tomorrow, it was criticized by professionals and audience for stereotypical(刻板的) creation: “Pile up the hopes of one hundred people onto one person the hero looks just like a live complaining post in the forum, and other characters are tools to hunt him.”
Twenty Your Life on and Nothing but Thirty give the audience an impression that they are completely “coming from the trending topics and living on the trending topics”. One viewer commented, “I am guessing the next plays will be Forty to Know the Mandate of Heaven, Fifty to Move on, and Sixty Still Young.”
Taking a closer look at the works that have earned a place in the history of Chinese drama, none of them is a copy or copycat. Besides, they are too good to be followed.
Now, many Chinese dramas are noticeably turning themselves back to the right track. Hopefully, a good drama will not be followed by a group of twins or siblings.
24. What does the author mainly want to do
A. To introduce a number of TV plays.
B. To explain the process of drama producing.
C. To welcome a new trend in domestic dramas.
D. To encourage readers to watch more Chinese plays.
25. What is the function of Paragraph 4
A. To present a new point of view. B. To lead in a new topic.
C. To support a point of view. D. To make a conclusion.
26. Which of the following is on the right track mentioned in the last paragraph according to the author
A. The Long Night. B. If There's No Tomorrow.
C. Nothing but Thirty. D. Sixty Still Young.
27. On what basis should Chinese domestic dramas be improved according to the author
A. Imitation. B. Impression. C. Popularity. D. Creativity.

Jimmy, who has a good heart, is an automotive mechanic (修理工), but unfortunately, he lost his job a few months ago. He was caught in a dilemma (困境), wanting to find a new job but fearing applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview for a position in a well-known company, whose recruitment (招聘) advertisement said it needed someone who was skilled, but more importantly, kind-hearted. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car, wearing a worried expression. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. To Jimmy, it was an easy job though it took some time.When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed. When Jimmy told the old man where he would go, the old man showed a smile and said, “I know the company. By the way, young man, you can call me Anderson.”
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease (机油) on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview ” he thought to himself, feeling his heart sinking.
Finally his name was called.__________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Disappointed, Jimmy left the office and unexpectedly met with Mr. Anderson.__ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
