Dragon Head Raising Day: time for a haircut

China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them.

This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar(陰歷). It stands for(代表) the start of spring and farming. This year, the day fell on March 10.

The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants(傳人) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons.

On the day in ancient times, people put ashes(灰) in the kitchen. This was to “l(fā)ead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest(收成) in autumn.

Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker(細須)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”．

Today many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother's brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

科目：初中英語 來源：牛津譯林版英語單元復(fù)習試卷(9A Unit 1-8) 題型：回答問題

請認真閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

It’s lunchtime. You’re hungry and want to get your favorite meal in the restaurant, but there is a queue of people nearly reaching the door. Don’t worry-in cyber world (網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界), you can get your meal just by a few clicks.

“Shopping has never been so easy. With just a single click on your mouse, anything that you order online can be taken to your door in no time,” said Bian Jing, who is twenty years old. She took part in an online survival (生存) competition held in Beijing. Each competitor had to go online and buy enough food and drink to last them for 100 hours using the little money given. “I don’t want to spend too much time shopping, so I do it online rather than in an ordinary (普通的) store,” said a girl from a middle school. “It’s easy to find the things you want online as they have catalogues. Shoppers who go online can also find lower prices and wider choices of things they want to buy.

But many teachers and parents are worried that online shopping is becoming too popular.

“It’s not a good way for middle school students to spend their money,” said a teacher. “I don’t like them to shop online.” As all the students’ money is from their parents, it’s said that they aren’t ready to pay for what they have bought online.” There’s also the danger that they’ll lose the money at online stores that just want to cheat (欺騙) shoppers,” one of the teachers said.

Most parents, though, don’t want to pay the bills when their children spend too much on the Internet.” I hate having to pay unexpected bills,” said one father. “But my son always surprises me with them”

1.What would be the suitable title for this passage?

___________________________________________________________________________

2.What was the online survival competition about?

___________________________________________________________________________

3.What are the advantages of shopping online? (Choose two of them)

___________________________________________________________________________

4.Why are most parents worried about shopping online?

___________________________________________________________________________

5.Would you like to do some shopping online? Why or why not? (請自擬一句話作答)
