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, people begin to get ready for Chinese New Year.

What do you do with clothes you don’t want to wear anymore You may donate (捐赠) them or give them to other people. What happens next Where do these clothes end up
Sadly, the beaches of Ghana, a country in West Africa, are among these places. Now, the beaches are covered with clothing waste. People from all over the world donate clothes to charities (慈善机构). However, charity shops only sell up to 20 percent of donated clothes, according to The Guardian. The unsold clothes are then put in large bags and travel to other countries to be sold again or for waste disposal (处理).
The Kantamanto Market in Accra, the capital of Ghana, is one of the world’s largest second-hand clothing markets. Every week, about 15 million pieces of clothes arrive at Kantamanto. But about 40 percent of them leave the market as waste.
Workers either burn the waste or put it underground. However, the city is near the sea, so there’s not enough space for waste. This is why a lot of clothing waste ends up on the beach.
As it goes into the sea, fish and other sea life are in danger. Sea turtles can’t get to the land, and fish can’t grow because they may get caught in the clothes.
“The waste is also hurting the economy,” Ernest Ijawan, a worker at a landfill in Ghana, told Forbes. Fishers can’t catch as many fish as before since most of the things they catch are clothes.

C．Sea turtles can’t get to the land because they may get caught in the clothes.
D．Fishers can’t catch as many fish as before because most of the things they catch are clothes.
17．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To call on us to protect sea animals.
B．To explain why there is waste everywhere.
C．To tell us our clothes can be bad for the environment.

The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China when people light lanterns, set off fireworks (放烟花), eat yuanxiao and enjoy family time. But do you know how this festival started
In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Dongfang Shuo who worked for the Emperor Wu of Han. One day, Dongfang met a crying maid (哭泣的宫女) named Yuanxiao in the emperor’s garden. He asked her what happened. And the maid said she was sad because she couldn’t see her family.

Legend has it (据传说) that if you look closely enough during the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, you can see the Jade Rabbit and the Lady in the moon. Every year, the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. The moon’s round shape symbolizes togetherness and unity, and families get together to share a meal, celebrate the beauty of the moon, and tell old stories.
The tradition of appreciating the moon (赏月) began during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the tradition was to look at the moon and take walks in the moonlight. A few hundred years later, the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty changed the tradition. The Song decided to make the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Food has always played an important role in Chinese celebrations, and mooncake is a Mid-Autumn Festival delight. Its round shape symbolizes completeness and togetherness. Traditionally, the filling is made with lotus seed or red bean paste, but you can find mooncakes filled with other things from meat and eggs to fruits and green tea. You can also find mooncakes in other shapes such as squares and even cartoon characters like Winnie the Poo h or Hello Kitty.
Another favorite Mid-Autumn Festival tradition is lighting red lanterns. Although animal-shaped lanterns are hard to find, you can still celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with any red Chinese lantern or make your own. Red symbolizes good luck and happiness and is an important color in many Chinese festivals.

五、任务型阅读
There are many holidays and festivals. Dads have Father’s Day Mums have Mother’s Day But do our grandparents have a special festival Yes, they do!
The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents.
There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.
Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.
In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休) they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.
Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts (打折) in stores and restaurants.
But Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.阅读短文，回答下列问题。
