　　As a symbol of traditional Chinese culture,the dragon boat race is known as a traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival in memory of poet Qu Yuan(340 BC-278 BC).The traditional festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar Chinese calendar.
　　Dragon boat races are held in many parts of China every year.Many dragon boat paddlers(船桨手)have hoped the sport can be one of the Olympic events for a long time.
　　Everything seems to be moving towards the dream.At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics,the dragon boat race was held as an Olympics demonstration sport(表演项目).Though it’s just a ten-minute performance for every team at the Sea Forest Waterway,the race is really getting closer to the Olympics.Thomas Bach,the president of the International Olympic Committee(IOC),also came to watch the boat race.Just as the race ended,the China Canoe Association gave Bach a model of the dragon boat as a gift.
　　This is the first time that the dragon boat race has shown up at the Olympics.It has greatly introduced ancient Chinese culture to the world.
　　“I think that for the dragon boat performance at the Tokyo Olympics this time,we have taken a big step forward for the dragon boat to enter the Olympic Games,” said Yang Guang,head of the Chinese dragon boat performance team for the Tokyo Olympics.

Ⅲ.阅读表达【主题:人与社会　腊月】
　　In China,the 12th month of the lunar calendar is called layue.The month is full of interesting festivals and customs.
　　The Laba Festival,which is on the 8th day of layue,is the first festival in this month.From this day on,people begin to get ready for the Chinese New Year.
　　On the Laba Festival,people eat hot Laba porridge.There are usually eight things in the porridge:rice,red beans,peas,dried lotus seeds,dates,and three different kinds of fruits and nuts.The porridge is not just good for your health,but a blessing for the coming of the Chinese New Year.
　　Laba porridge is not the only tasty food in layue.Laba garlic(腊八蒜) is popular in the north.People begin to soak garlic in vinegar from that day on,and eat it with dumplings during the Chinese New Year.While in the south,people like making sausages.
　　Another major celebration before the Spring Festival is Xiaonian.It is usually on the 23rd or 24th day of the last lunar month.Traditionally it is an important day when people offer sacrifices(祭品) to the Kitchen God who looks after the family.
