Benefits of Reading
The benefits of reading start with the first book a baby hears and continue into childhood and throughout the child’s life. Here are some reasons why reading is important.
Reading teaches children about the world around them. 1 They are exposed to ways of life, ideas and beliefs about the world which may be different from those which surround them. This builds a store of background knowledge, which helps younger children learn to read confidently. ?
2 When we read, our brains translate the descriptions we read of people, places and things into pictures. When we are reading a story, we are also imagining how the characters are feeling. We use our own experiences to imagine how we would feel in the same situation. ?
Children who read do better at school. And they don’t just do better at subjects like reading, English and history. 3 ?
Reading is a great form of entertainment! A paperback book or an e-reader doesn’t take up much space so you can take it anywhere and you’ll never be lonely or bored if you have a book in your bag. 4 ?
Reading relaxes the body and calms the mind. 5 The constant movement, flashing lights and noise are quite stressful for our brains. When we read in silence, the black print on a white page is much less stressful for our eyes and brains. ?
A. Reading improves concentration.
B. Reading develops a child’s imagination.
C. We seem to have forgotten how to relax and how to be silent.
D. Children learn new words and greatly enlarge their vocabulary.
E. They do better at all subjects and they do better all the day through school.
F. You can read while waiting for a friend or during a flight delay at an airport.
G. By reading, children learn about people, places and events outside their own experience.
【阅读理解】
A
The New Year is a time for celebrations for almost everyone around the world. In Britain, people go to pubs and nightclubs to dance the old year away, and to welcome in the new one at midnight. Everyone wants to kiss someone special (boyfriend, girlfriend or even a complete stranger! ) as the bells ring out at midnight.
In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fabulous fireworks displays.
For people who stay at home, most watch special, live New Year shows on TV and countdown, along with the presenters, from 10 to 1 as the last seconds of the old year tick away and the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland, on New Year’s Eve, people visit their neighbours and drink, dance and generally have a good time. If you’re invited to a Scottish home, it’s important to know what to bring with you: a lump of coal, some shortbread and some whisky.
The coal shows warmth so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the New Year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
There’s one more key task you still have to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbour’s door is supposed to be a tall, dark, handsome man. If you are, you’ll bring good luck to the household. But what if that’s not you? Well, don’t ring the bell just yet. Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon! ?
1. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Seeing the old year off in Britain.
B. Celebrations of a Scottish New Year.
C. Visiting Scottish homes on New Year.
D. Sending good luck in the New Year.
2. We know from the passage ______. ?
A. British people hate to think of the old year and wish to dance it away quickly
B. street concerts have become more popular on New Year’s Eve
C. British people let off fireworks in public places to celebrate the New Year
D. people stay at home doing nothing but wait for the bell of the New Year to ring
3. Why do visitors take some things to a Scottish home on New Year’s Eve?
A. To share good food and warmth.
B. To help those poor families.
C. To send best wishes to the families.
D. To show respect and richness.
4. The underlined phrase“the right person” in the last paragraph refers to ______. ?
A. the host of a special TV show
B. a tall, dark, handsome man
C. a man with coal, shortbread and whisky
D. a neighbor

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar. This day is always the first full moon in the new year. Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on trees, or along river banks on show. It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble. Today, when the lanterns slowly rise into the air, people make wishes. Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous(幽默的). The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous person’s name, or a place name.
The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes. In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they’re named tangyuan. Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity, they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members.
In old times, the Lantern Festival was also a good time for young people to find love. Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. And there were many romantic stories about this festival. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this, “Hundreds and thousands of times I searched for her in the crowd. Suddenly I turned, and there she stood in the dim light. ”
In a word, the Lantern Festival has brought us Chinese so much fun and joy over the years. We hope the young people can carry on these traditions and take pride in Chinese culture.
5. In ancient times, sky lanterns were first used for ______by Zhuge Kongming. ?
A. making wishes B. celebrating birthdays
C. getting aid D. guessing lantern riddles
6. Which of the following is NOT true about sweet dumplings?
A. They have different tastes.
B. They are named “yuanxiao” all over the country.
C. People enjoy the process of making them.
D. People usually make them with family and friends.
7. The line from Xin Qiji in the passage shows the Lantern Festival was ______in old times. ?
