It’s not Christmas Day yet. But wherever I go on the streets, I see shops selling Christmas trees and all kinds of beautiful decorations, waiters wearing Christmas hats; I hear children singing Christmas songs on broadcast; I get messages of Christmas’s best wishes from friends.

I just got quite confused again, since when have Chinese begun celebrating Christmas Day? What do these people celebrate it for, the birth of Chris? But we all know that most of Chinese are not Christians, they don’t even know the origin of Christmas Day, and they celebrate it for no reason.

I don’t celebrate Christmas Day or any other western holidays since I’m not a Christian and nor am I a westerner. I don’t know what Christmas really means. Anyway I can’t get reasonable answers from my friends. Some of them think they would like to just take this chance to enjoy themselves regardless of the meaning of the festival. Some of them think I’m an old-fashioned girl, a bigot who doesn’t appreciate the spirit of Chinese cultural tolerance(寬容) and understanding of other cultures. Well, if it is about cultural tolerance, why don’t we ever celebrate the month of Muharram, or festivals of colours in India, or Fiestas Patrias in Mexico?

I really appreciate cultural exchanges and communications with all nations, but I don’t think this is what it’s about. People are celebrating more and more western festivals while ignoring our traditional ones.

Is it part of globalization(全球化)？ Do people in other non-western countries also celebrate Christmas?

1. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer _________.

A. is an old-fashioned girl

B. doesn’t like festivals at all

C. prefers western festivals to Chinese festivals

D. prefers Chinese festivals to western festivals

2.According to the writer, many Chinese people celebrate Christmas _________.

A. for no reason

B. for the birth of Chris

C. because most of them are Christians

D. because they don’t like Chinese festivals

3.The underlined word “bigot” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A. a very brave person

B. a very stubborn person

C. a very careful person

D. a very popular person

4. We can learn from the passage that _________.

A. more and more Chinese people celebrate western festivals now

B. Chinese people pay enough attention to our own festivals

C. no Christmas celebration means one lacks cultural tolerance

D. the writer doesn’t like cultural exchanges and communications with other countries
