     Mother's Day and Father's Day are two big national holidays in many western countries. And it's interesting 
because they are not the same in every country. In England, Mothering Sunday is in March. In America and 
Cermany and other countries, it's one Sunday in May. Fathfer's Day is in the middle of June.  How do you 
celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day? Let's learn something more about it from the following introduction.
   
     In England, we call Mother's Day Mothering Sunday, because it's always on a Sunday.  I 
don't really know the origin of it but I remember that my mother had a cup of tea early in the 
morning. And then we would go to church. And at the end of the church service, the children  would collect a daffodil (水仙花) and take it back and give ic to our mother who would 
normally be sitting in the service in the church. And really that's all we did to celebrate the
day.
     As Ann said, I remember taking cups of tea to my mother.  The idea in general is that the 
washing-up would be done; perhaps some cooking would be done on Mother's Day.  We 
would try to relieve her of all those jobs to make it a special day for her, so that whenever 
she looked around, there was something to eat, something to drink, or something to read, or
something interesting for her to do.
     Father's Day is always in June, a Sunday in the middle of June.  On Father's Day, the idea
 is to find something fun that the children could do with their father together.  I remember
 going to baseball games. I think that on Father's Day it's particularly focused on doing things 
together because that is supposed to be relaxing and fun for Dad.
 
1. In _______, Mothering Sunday is'in March.   
A. Germany         
B. England          
C. America          
D. China
2. Ann remembered that her mother _______ in the moming on Mothering Sunday.  
A. had a cup of tea                       
B. got up late
C. collected a daffodil                   
D. had something to eat
3. What did Bill remember doing on Father's Day?
A. Doing housework.                     
B. Eating outside.
C. Coing to the church.                   
D. Watching baseball games.
4. What's the text mainly about?    
A. The history of some national holidays.
B. The stories of some interesting holidays.
C. How to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day.
D. How to understand Mother's Day and Father's Day.

     ①The new film Under the Hawthorn Tree 《山楂樹之戀》directed by Zhang Yimou tells the sad story
of the love between Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan. Before it came out, people was
expected to know what this "pure (純潔的) beauty"could be. ②Director ZhangYimou complained of how
long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu-an innocent (純真的)character.
    ③It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd.   According to Zhang, Zhou has
"eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside". Born to a common worker's family, ④the Shijiazhuang
girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.
     People are impressed with Zhou for a performance that they say is so clear.
     "If you have fair skin and clear eyes, as Jingqiu does, it is easy to look pure. Girls today wear so many
accessories and make-up."said Du Yanlai, 17 of Chengdu.
     While some teenagers consider it difficult to be such a "pure" beauty, others believe that it speaks of
something from hearts
     Mo Diya, 16, of Shenzhen thought that purity isn't a matter of physical beauty but of whether someone
is "easygoing, honest and friendly".
     Purity is all about an innocence that shines through from inside, thinks 16-yaer-old Tan Mengxi of
Nanjing.   
     "Being pure can be simple, not having different kinds of thoughts and being inexperienced. However, it
doesn't mean a foolish or na?ve person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always active
and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn't pass with time," she said.
     Chen Haocheng, 16, from Shanghai, thinks that the love between Jingqiu and Laosan in the movie is also
pure.
     "Their love is simple and can last long, without any selfish or material side," he said.

閱讀理解。
     We often see planes speed up on the runway and take off at the airport. Can this happen on the water?
Aircraft carriers (航空母艦) make it possible. An aircraft carrier is a type of ship that planes can fly from-and
land on-like an airport on the sea.
      On the foggy mo/'ning of August 10, China's first aircraft carrier began its trial run at Dalian Port in
Liaoning and returned four days later.
     The carrier was at first called the Varyag ("瓦格良"號). It was built in the former Sovriet Union (前蘇聯(lián)).
However, the Soviets failed to complete the ship. China bought the Varyag in 1998 from Ukraine (烏克蘭) after
the former Soviet Union collapsed (解體).
     After the first sea trial, China will go on refitting (改裝) the ship and doing test work. Building an aircraft
carrier is hard work. There is still a lot to do, such as training pilots.
     Many people remember the aircraft carriers of World War II, a war in which big ships played an important
role. The Japanese attacked the US Navy at Pearl Harbor (珍珠港) in 1941 by surprise with the help of an
aircraft carrier. The Japanese also lost the Battle of Midway (中途島之戰(zhàn)) with the US in 1942 because their
carriers were hit.
      Only nine other countries in the world have aircraft carriers. Some countries consider a Chinese aircraft
carrier a threat. But China's Defense Ministry (國防部) spokesman Geng Yansheng said: "China always sticks
to the road of peaceful development. The aircraft carrier is for protecting national security (安全) and doing
more for world peace."
1. The underlined phrase "trial run" means  _____ in Chinese.
A. 試飛
B. 試航
C. 實施
D. 實驗
2. After the first sea trial, China will _______.
a. refit the ship again
b. do a lot of test work
c. sell this aircraft carrier
d. train some pilots
A. abc
B. bcd
C. abd
D. acd
3. The fifth paragraph mainly tells us about _____ of aircraft carriers.
A. the threat
B. the history
C. the disadvantages
D. the importance
4. _____ countries in the world have aircraft carriers.
A. Ten.
B. Nine.
C. Six.
D. Four.
5. We can tell from the story that ______.
A. China's first aircraft carrier was built in Ukraine
B. it took six days for the carrier to finish its first trial
C. China will use the carrier to protect national security
D. a Chinese aircraft carrier is welcome all over the world
