Easter is a happy time in western countries like the UK and the USA. After Christmas, it is the
most interesting holiday. It is begun as an important religious(宗教的) festival, but for the non-
religious it is
31
a special time. It is an official holiday, so most people visit their families
or friends during Easter.
The most important Easter tradition is giving each other Easter eggs, because eggs are the
symbol of new life. In the past people
32
paint chicken eggs, but today they give each
other chocolate eggs.
A fun game during the festival is that parents hide chocolate
33
in the garden, and
the children go out to look for them. They can eat what they find! It’s quite normal for children to
be
34
after Easter weekend as a result of eating too much chocolate.
The holiday is always on a Sunday
35
March 22nd and April 25th.
31. A. too
B. also
C. either

For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old 36
pop star Candy
Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her
37
.
As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s
not shy any more and
38
singing in front of crowds.
I asked Candy how life was different 39
she became famous. She explained that there are
many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be
popular in school, but now I get tons of 40
everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can
also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very
careful about what to say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with
friends is almost 41
for me now because there are always guards around me.”
What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,”
she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to 42
your normal life. You can never imagine
how
43
the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, 44
I fought on. You really
require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only 45
people make it to the top.

Have you ever heard of Weifang, Shangdong Province? What is it known for? There is an
international kite festival every April in Weifang that is a modern city with many traditions.
People from all over the world compete in the kite flying. There are also competitions for the best
kites. The kites in the competition are all made by hand.
Most people have flown a kite. It makes people happy. It’s easy to make it. It’s
made of bamboo and paper. But not so many people know that kites were first made in
China thousands of years ago. The ancient Chinese made and flew kites even before they
could write.
A long time ago, the Chinese made kites to use in wars. They would fly these war
kites in the dark. The kites were fixed and they made strange sounds in wind. Men who
were at war against them would hear these sounds and run away. They thought those
strange sounds were made by gods in the sky.
The ancient Chinese also flew kites to bring good luck and to make their crops grow
rich and tall. Sometimes they tied long strings and hooks(钩子) to their kites. Then they
would fly the kites over water, letting the hooks hang down to catch fish.
The Chinese use sticks, string and paper for their kites. Some of these kites look like
animals or trees and others look like houses.

I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn’t spend much time with me.
Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you
believe it or not, that weekend changed my life.
About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I
was glad because I made so many friends there.
On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl
which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again
between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice.
This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we
have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨).
A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict (吸毒者)and how
much she hated her mother.
“I want a new mom,” she cried.
“Unluckily, you can’t have one,” the leader replied.
“You have to accept the mother that you have.”
This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or worse, my mom was my mom. I couldn’t
choose another mom, but I could try to make the best of the situation.
51. The writer used to hate his mother because ________.
A. she didn’t care for him.
B. she had no time to be with him
C. she was a drug addict.
D. she was too strict with him.
52. The self-help program for teenagers lasted ___________.
A. a week
B. two days
C. three days
D. only one day
53. The writer started to change his thinking ___________.
A. during the first two days of the program
B. after the exercise named “Chocolate or Toys”
C. as soon as he came to the program
D. after he left the program some time
54. From the end of the passage, we can know that ____________.
A. the writer used to love his mom for years
B. the writer’s mom is a very bad person
C. the writer’s mom loves her son very much
D. the writer will try to get along with his mother
55. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Choices can be made as we like
B. Everyone should take part in a self-help program
C. Chocolate can influence one’s attitude toward things.
D. We should try to accept things instead of complaining about them.
C
What is the hottest English word of 2013? It’s “selfie”, according to Oxford dictionaries.
Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, according to the Oxford online dictionary. People
usually take selfies with a smartphone(智能手机) and send them to a social media website.
The word was first used in 2002. In the past 12 months, its frequency ( 出现频率) in the
English language has increased by 17,000 percent, said Oxford dictionaries. Now, almost
everybody knows it.
“Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone (QQ 空间),”
said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments.
Pop stars also take a lot of selfies. Li Chunping, 14, from Harbin, is a big fan of Yang Mi.
“She has used many selfies to tell us what’s going on in her personal life,” said Li.
What makes people love selfies? Some people say it’s narcissism (自恋). “The rise of the
selfie is a perfect symbol for our narcissistic culture. We’re crying out: Look at me!” said US
psychiatrist(精神科医生) Carole Lieberman.
Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in The
Guardian. “The usual purpose of taking a selfie is to share online. They express a human need
to connect with others,” wrote Freedland.
Huang Xu agrees with that. “During summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many
selfies online. Hair or clothes were not our interests. Through these photos, we got to know each
other’s holidays and feelings,” said Huang Xu.
56. According to the story, a “selfie” is __________.
A. a person with a smartphone
B. a smartphone which can take photos
C. a photo taken by oneself
D. an English dictionary
57. When was the word “selfie” first used?
A.More than ten years ago
B. In 2013
C. When smartphones appeared
D. Nobody knows
58. We can tell from the story that __________.
A. only famous people enjoy taking selfies
B. all people love selfies because of narcissism
C. people love to share selfies online
D. US psychiatrist Carole Lieberman hates selfies
59. We put the sentence “ But some people don’t see it that way” at the beginning of
___________.
A. Paragraph 4
B. Paragraph 5
C. Paragraph 6
D.
Paragraph 7
60. What is the best title of this passage ?
A. Selfies and narcissism
B. Selfies and sharing
C. Selfies and smartphones D. Selfies, the hottest word in 2013
