My Favourite Traditional Chinese Festival
Ladies_and_ gentlemen ，
It is my honor to give a speech on my favorite traditional Chinese festival ，the Spring
Festival.
It starts from the late days of the 12th lunar month and lasts till the middle of the 1st lunar
month of the next year.Chinese people attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve，when all
family members have dinner together and enjoy the Spring Festival gala.As for me，I love the
Spring Festival most because during the festival，not only can I set off fireworks，but I can also
get lucky money.Besides，it symbolizes reunion，prosperity and new hopes for the future.
Hope the excitement of the celebration will reach more people across the world.Thank you for
your listening.
Ⅱ.读后续写(团队协作)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alexander sang all the time.He sang in the shower，he sang while he did his homework，and
he sang while he walked to school.He simply loved singing.One day during a break，he heard
Kevin talking about the tryouts(选拔) for the City Choir(合唱团)．
“Yeah，I’m attending the tryouts this weekend，” Kevin announced.“With my voice，
I’m pretty much guaranteed a spot.I don’t even need any practice as I am so talented.Imagine
they’ll want me to perform lots of solos(独唱)，too.”
Everyone knew that Kevin had a fantastic singing voice.Normally，Alexander just ignored
him，but he couldn’t help imagining himself as a member of the choir.Wouldn’t it be fun，hethought，to sing with other kids every day and have someone actually teach him about singing?
On the tryout day，Alexander took a deep breath，walked into the building，registered at a
large table，and then waited nervously in the hallway.The only one who didn’t look nervous was
Kevin.And why should he be? He has performed as a soloist many times.Alexander，on the other
hand，had never taken a musical lesson in his life；much less had he performed for an audience.
After a while，the choir director，Mr Robeson，walked in and told the kids that they were to
sing a song individually，sing as a group and answer some questions.Soon the individual test
began.When Alexander stood on the stage，he tried to calm down and pretended he was singing in
the shower.He felt satisfied when he was done，at least until Kevin’s turn came.As Kevin’s
confident voice filled the room，Alexander realized that he would never sound that good.
Next ， Mr Robeson put the kids into groups of four or five and asked them to sing
together.Kevin’s group sang right before Alexander’s，and even with four other boys singing，
Kevin’s voice was clear and distinct; it seemed to reach the farthest corners of the room.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Then came the time for Alexander to sing with his group._____________________________

Then came the time for Alexander to sing with his group.He didn’t want to sound too
loud.Instead，he thoroughly enjoyed singing with the others，trying his best to integrate his voice
with theirs.Finally，Mr Robeson asked the kids about their performance experience ，music
lessons and training.All Alexander could say was，“I just really enjoy singing，but I want to
learn more and practice more.” He knew his answer was not perfect，but he was willing to do
whatever it takes to become a better singer in the choir.
Finally，Mr Robeson told Alexander that he made it，not Kevin.There must have been some
mistake.“How did I make it，Mr Robeson？” asked Alexander in disbelief.“Well，you love
singing.Although your voice isn’t the best，with training it will improve.” “But，what about
Kevin？” Alexander asked.“Talent alone is not enough，” said Mr Robeson.“After all，we
weren’t looking for soloists.” Alexander now understood that hard work and right attitude make
a difference.He couldn’t wait for the choir practice in the coming week.
