A couple had two little boys aged 8 and 10 who were very naughty. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that if any trouble occurred in their town their sons were probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a clergyman(牧師) in the town had been successful in educating children so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old first in the morning with the elder boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming(嗡嗡) voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him strictly, "Where is God?"

The boy's mouth dropped open but he made no answer, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the clergyman repeated the question in an even stricter tone "Where is God?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and shouted" Where is God?"

The boy screamed and escaped from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his elder brother found him in the closet, he asked "What happened?"

The younger brother replied out of breath, "We are in big trouble this time. God is missing--and they think we did it."

1.What were the two boys like?

A. They always made trouble. B. They were brave.

C. They were easygoing. D. They were honest.

2.What did their parents plan to do?

A. They gave up their children.

B. They liked their children very much.

C. They wanted the clergyman to persuade their children.

D. They helped their children to make trouble.

3.What do you suppose the boy felt when he was asked by the clergyman?

A. Happy. B. Sad.

C. Afraid. D. Surprised.

4.What do you think the underlined word "slamming" in Paragraph 5 means?

A. Open. B. Shut. C. Knock. D. Pull.

1.A

2.C

3.C

4.B

As we all know, the Dragon Boat Festival is our country’s traditional festival, but do you know there is also a Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea, which also falls on May 5 of the luar calendar(陰歷)? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 聯(lián)合國教科文組織) to make the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival its own intangible cultural heritage (非物質的文化遺產(chǎn)). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.

As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China," said Zhou Heping, deputy(副) culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.

It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (愛國者) and admired by ordinary people.

He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country's future. When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to frighten away the fish and threw Zongzi into the water to stop the fish touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to come from this search for the poet's body.

Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of the local culture.

1.The Dragon Boat Festival _______.

A. is also kept by South Korea

B. comes from South Korea

C. was created by South Korea

D. is South Korea’s cultural heritage

2.What is the reaction of the Ministry of Culture to South Korea’s intending to make the Dragon Boat Festival its own culture heritage?

A. Fighting against South Korea

B. Telling South Korea it’s not right to do so

C. Considering to do the similar thing

D. Asking South Korea not to do so.

3.What is the purpose of the Dragon Boat Festival’s being held?

A. In memory of Qu Yuan

B. In memory of all the patriots of China

C. To frighten away the fish

D. In honor of QuYuan’s birthday

4.After Qu Yuan’s death, Zongzi was thrown into the water to _______.

A. feed him.

B. protect his body from going bad.

C. prevent the fish biting his body

D. attract his soul

5.Now, the Dragon Boat Festival has become ______ activity.

A. a nationwide B. a worldwide

C. an Asian D. a foreign
