The Dragon Boat Festival,also often known as Duanwu Festival,is a traditional holiday in China. On this special day,people will eat zongzi,drink realgar wine and race dragon boats.
The story best known in modern China holds that the festival commemorates (紀(jì)念) the death of Qu Yuan. He is a minister of the ancient state of Chu during the Warring States period of the Zhou Dynasty. 1 However,he was punished for opposing the alliance (聯(lián)盟) between Chu and Qin. Twentyeight years later,he heard the news that his country was occupied by Qin. 2 It is said that the local people,who admired him,raced out in their boats to save him. 3 When his body could not be found,they dropped rice into the river. 4 This is said to be the origin of zongzi- The festival was long marked as a festival culturally in China and is a public holiday in Hong Kong,Taiwan and Macau. 5 Beginning in 2005,the government began to plan for the recognition of three traditional holidays,including Duanwu. Since 2008,Duanwu has been celebrated not only as a festival but also a public holiday.
A. Qu Yuan wrote a great deal of poetry.
B. In despair,Qu Yuan committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River.
C. However,the People's Republic of China government did not officially recognize Duanwu as a public holiday.
D. Qu loves his country deeply.
E. In the early years of the Republic of China,Duanwu was celebrated as "Poets' Day" due to Qu Yuan's status as China's first known poet.
F. In this way,the fish would eat the rice instead of Qu Yuan,s body.
G. This is said to have been the origin of dragon boat races.

本文簡要介紹了端午節(jié),講述了屈原的故事及粽子的來源,還有端午節(jié)成為法定節(jié)假日的過程。
1. D考查轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。與后文形成反差,屈原雖然愛國,但因政見被貶。
2. B考查因果關(guān)系。屈原聽到亡國的消息后自殺,才有后來人們劃船去救他之說。
3. G考查順承關(guān)系。人們劃船去救屈原,這即是劃龍舟的^£源。
4. F考查順承關(guān)系。前文說人們把米投入江中,他們這么做的目的就在于讓魚兒吃米而不吃屈原的尸體。
5. C考查轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
E為干擾項,但其并沒涉及公共假日的話題,而這段的中心就在于中國政府把端午節(jié)從一個民間文化節(jié)日定義為國家公共假日。

Many animals are in danger of dying out. A recent study shows that various kinds of wild animals had decreased sharply in the past decades. With 30,000 wild animals reduced at average each year,there were only 1. 5 million left till 2014.
There are several reasons accounted for this problem. Apart from the polluting environment and natural disasters,illegal killing is important reason. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for a big profit,this has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of animals.
In my opinion,it is high time that we must take quick action to protect them. A national publicly campaign should be launched to give animals a good living environment. In addition to,the government should pass some firm laws to forbid animal killing. Only with this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.

Recently a restaurant has become a hot topic which arouses a controversial debate. A man
runs a restaurant 1 any waiter and people who have dinner here can pay the bill as they want 2 If the customer thinks this meal worth 50yuan,then he can put 50yuan in the box. However,as the owner keeps losing money over 4 months,people begin to think this is the customer's honesty issue,3 I can't agree with it.
In the first place,the restaurant didn't name the price to each dish,which means the owner lets the customers evaluate the meal by themselves. So people pay the money for the meal that is always 4 than the owner's expectation. Leave alone the 5 (one) who don't pay the bill,as everyone has different values,and most people have no idea about the cost of the dish,it is understandable 6 customers pay less money than the cost.
In the second place,the restaurant has no waiter at all which makes the cost lower than a regular restaurant. The customers have to help themselves to have the meal,also they need to wash the dishes. It makes 7 reasonable that customers pay less money than the owner's 8 (expect) .
To sum up,this may not be the problem of 9 (honest) ,but the way of 10 (run) a restaurant. I believe most people pay their bills,but they just pay it lower than the cost.
