The Day of the Dead celebrations are a great time to honour the dead. Here’s where to stay to experience them this year.
Mexico City, Mexico
On November 4 a parade starts with thousands of dancers. “The best place to watch the parade is from a terrace (露台) on the Paseo de Reforma, where you can see the dancers and colours from above,” says Karla Gonzalez, director of the Mexico City tourism board.
Oaxaca, Mexico
This southern Mexico city is known for candlelit cemeteries (墓地) on the Day of the Dead, and parades with dancers in the Jalatlaco neighborhood. It falls on November 2. “The city doesn’t sleep for three days,” says local tour guide Gabriel Sánchez. He takes guests to the cemetery in Santa Maria Atzompa, a village three miles from Oaxaca City, where the families go all out with candles and flowers.
San Diego, California
As the first European settlement in Southern California, Old Town Park is a seven-block state park with shopfronts dating back to the 18th century. It’s also the site of a long-running Day of the Dead celebration, with a crafts (工艺品) market and a candlelit parade to the El Campo Santo Cemetery on November 2, which dates to 1849.
San Antonio, Texas
This south Texas city was once a part of Mexico, known for its exciting Day of the Dead celebrations. In downtown’s Hemisphere Park, the festival brings a parade of boats lit with bright lights on the River Walk on the evening of October 27. You can also see a famous tourist draw on the south bank of the San Antonio River.
1．Which city is the last one to celebrate the Day of the Dead this year
A．San Antonio. B．Mexico City. C．San Diego. D．Oaxaca.
2．What special thing can you do in San Diego on the festival
A．Have a candlelit dinner. B．Visit a famous tourist attraction.
C．Wander around a crafts market. D．Enjoy three-day sleepless events.
3．Where can you enjoy a parade of boats at night to experience the festival

Holidays are often described as picture-perfect moments: families happily united around a table filled with seasonal food favorites against a perfect background. For many parents, making efforts to meet such unrealistic expectations can destroy their self-worth gradually. In the real world, parents are juggling (同时兼顾) more activities from work to home. It’s all too easy to fall into survival parenting, one way where the focus is on simply getting through the day. These holidays can feel like anything but a holiday.
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released a warning in August 2024 calling for a rapid recovery of parental well-being. Murthy along with scientists and parents sees that the modern-day stress of parenting is seriously affecting the physical and mental health of caregivers. He states his deep worries about reports that most days, nearly half of all parents feel seriously stressed.
Data from a 2022 Household Pulse Survey found that most of parents — including 35% with children under 5 and 54% with children between 5 and 11 — have no formal child care support. This is surely caused, in part, by two facts: the rising costs for child care and fewer choices for child’s day care.
The research shows that focusing only on getting through the day with your kids is connected to more stress and harsher (严苛的) parenting behaviors. When a mom or dad is in survival mode, it’s possible for them to shout requests and criticize their children’s behavior, instead of thinking through the impacts of these behaviors. Stressed-out parents are quicker to criticize little things that get in the way of reaching immediate goals, such as spilling (洒出) flour on the floor. And they are slower to notice and admit their child’s strengths, such as their interest in helping in the kitchen.
However, bringing joy back to parenting during holidays — and any time of the year — is more direct than the “perfect” meal plans on social platforms. The secret to getting away from the surviving the moment is to refocus on the future you want to create.
4．What is the parents’ real situation during the holidays according to the passage
A．They fight hard through great stress.
B．They improve their parenting mode for kids.
C．They effortlessly reunite with a large family.
D．They deal with work-from-home tasks easily.
5．What’s the purpose of paragraph 3
A．To tell readers the fact of rising costs.
B．To showcase the parents’ stress.
C．To analyze causes of parents’ stress.
D．To explain how to get the data.
6．What will be most likely discussed after the last paragraph
A．Ways to achieve long-term family goals.
B．Practical steps to bring back parenting joy.
C．Several perfect meal plans for good parents.
D．The kind of future for parents to build for families.
7．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．Holiday Daycare Crisis: A Hidden Threat to Parents
B．Harsh Holiday Parenting: Stress Shaping Child Behavior
C．Behind Parental Burnout: Holidays Hurting Modern Families
D．Beyond Holiday Survival Mode: Rebuilding Parenting well-being
C
China boasts a wealth of diverse ethnic groups, each nurturing its own unique history and brilliant culture. Among them, the Yi people, who have inhabited Southwest China for over 2,000 years, have created numerous precious cultural heritages. The Flower-Inserting Festival, one of their most sacred (神圣的) traditional festivals, vividly reflects the Yi people’s unique values, moral standards and time-honored customs, serving as a vital carrier of their ethnic identity.
Observed on the 8th day of the 2nd lunar month annually, the Flower-Inserting Festival boasts a profound historical origin, rooted in a touching legendary story passed down orally among the Yi people for generations. A long time ago, when their village was raided by foreign invaders, a brave and benevolent Yi girl named Mi Yilu sacrificed herself to safeguard her clansmen and homeland. Folklore has it that after her death, her blood stained the horse tassel flowers across the mountains and plains bright red. To honor this heroic figure and inherit her spirit of courage and devotion, the Yi people have cherished the custom of inserting horse tassel flowers on one another during the festival, conveying wishes for peace, health and fraternity.
During the Flower-Inserting Festival, the Yi people adorn themselves in colorful and intricate traditional costumes, embroidered (刺绣) with delicate patterns symbolizing good fortune — such as sun, eagle and flame, which are hereditary symbols of the Yi people. They gather on the village square, singing lively and melodious folk songs while dancing in circles to the rhythm of traditional musical instruments like the moon guitar. They also prepare a variety of distinctive and flavorful foods, including glutinous rice cakes with sweet bean fillings and preserved pork with a unique smoky taste, to share with relatives and friends. In the past, the stories and customs of the festival were primarily transmitted through oral traditions. However, in the early 21st century, with the impact of modern lifestyle, some young Yi people began to lose interest in traditional festivals. To address this, local governments have taken targeted measures, organizing cultural exhibitions, folk song contests and handicraft workshops every year to protect and promote this traditional festival, helping more people at home and abroad appreciate the rich and unique Yi culture.
8．According to the first paragraph, what is the primary purpose of the Flower-Inserting Festival in Yi culture
A．To celebrate the harvest and agricultural cycles.
B．To compete with other ethnic groups’ cultural traditions.
C．To serve as a key reflection of Yi values and ethnic identity.
D．To honor their history of over 2,000 years in Southwest China.
9．What do the Yi people do to celebrate the Flower-Inserting Festival
A．Dance to modern musical instruments. B．Insert horse tassel flowers on each other.
C．Wear costumes just with moon patterns. D．Prepare sweet rice dumplings for relatives.
10．What measures have local governments taken to protect the Flower-Inserting Festival
A．Stopping the oral transmission of festival stories.
B．Teaching foreign visitors how to make Yi handicrafts.
C．Holding cultural exhibitions and folk song competitions.
D．Forbidding young people from following modern lifestyles.
11．What is the author’s attitude towards the Yi Flower-Inserting Festival
A．Approving. B．Critical. C．Neutral. D．Doubtful.

Terry Oberlin was a 37-year-old father of two, whose days were always wrapped in mess. Piles of unread newspapers lay on the coffee table, half-washed dishes sat in the sink, and overdue bills hid under the couch cushions. Then came that unusual evening, when he managed to get his life perfectly organized for exactly 36 minutes — the first peaceful stretch he’d had in over six years.
It all began at 7:50 pm. After carrying the smelly garbage bag to the roadside dustbin, Terry stretched his arms, and his aching back popped with a satisfying crack. He stepped back into the house, breathing in the fresh lemon scent of dish soap, and spotted a wrinkled one-month-old magazine left on the kitchen counter. He tossed it into a garbage bag without a second thought, and in that instant, a sense of perfect order washed over him.
During those precious minutes, he paid his monthly bills neatly, tidied the living room until the carpet looked clean and soft, washed all the dinner dishes and dried them in the rack, and folded the laundry scattered across the sofa. With no work emails weighing on him, he spent 90 seconds gazing at the warm sunset glow through the window, flipped through the evening newspaper slowly, and watched the first 26 minutes of House M. D．, his toes tapping gently on the chair.
For the whole 36 minutes, no regret, sadness or stress crossed his mind. He pushed away thoughts of money troubles, his in-laws, and his dental check-up. Past embarrassments faded, and worries about his own shortcomings vanished. His wife Kay leaned against the doorframe, smiling as she watched him — no frown, just a faint, rare curve on his lips.
Terry’s last taste of such peace was six years ago, a mere 75 seconds. It ended when his son Tyler, cheering excitedly as he rode a bike without training wheels, lost his balance, crashed off the road, and had to get stitches at the hospital.
Sadly, the calm didn’t last and the quiet was interrupted by a sharp phone ring. It was his mother-in-law, saying their family vacation plans had to change because her friend was suddenly hospitalized. Putting down the phone, Terry let out a soft sigh. “I can catch the rest of House later,” he said, his voice still calm.
12．What made Terry feel calm that evening
A．Having two children. B．Getting his home in order.
C．Watching House M. D．fully. D．Organizing an evening party.
13．What does the underlined word “vanished” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Disappeared. B．Disapproved. C．Grew. D．Arose.
14．How did Kay feel when she saw Terry
A．Worried about his health. B．Bored with the silence.
C．Pleased by his calmness. D．Surprised by his anxiety and boredom.
15．What happened after the phone call
A．He canceled his vacation. B．He lost his calm completely.
C．He went on cleaning the house. D．He recovered peace surprisingly.

I drove to my mother’s house to celebrate my 38th birthday with her. When I arrived, I found her 21 excitedly at the kitchen table, a chocolate cake and a box tied with orange ribbon in front of her. “Happy birthday!” she said, 22 at the box. Open it.

China is widely known 36 its ancient civilization which has continued all the way through into modern times despite the many ups and downs in its history. One of the reasons 37 this has been possible is the Chinese writing system.
