Diwali（Deepavali）is a festival of lights observed in October or November each year in Canada. During the festival, various community groups, businesses, schools and associations celebrate it in different ways. Some companies have Diwali dinners and some communities organize gatherings that feature firework displays, dances, street lighting, and plays.
Many women wear fine jewelry and silk costumes to celebrate Diwali. Some women and girls use Mehendi, a dye decoration which can last a limited time, on their palms, and then they will finally get colorful hand paintings. Many homes that celebrate Diwali have various types of sweets, salty and spiced food as well as Diwali herbs (香料). Various lights, candles and fireworks are lit inside and outside homes, particularly in courtyards, on Diwali. Diwali is not a nationwide public holiday in Canada but it is a prevalent festival celebrated in many towns and cities. There may be traffic jams and parking places may be full in areas where events are held to celebrate Diwali. Some Indian businesses may close early on Diwali.
Diwali is called the "Festival of Lights" and is celebrated to honor Rama, a hero who once fought and won a battle against the demons (恶魔). In the past, people lit their houses to celebrate his victory over demons (light over darkness). At the same time, every household did careful and complete cleaning at home in advance. It is believed that the goddess of happiness and good fortune, Lakshmi travels around the Earth on this day and enters the house that is pure, clean, and bright.
Diwali celebrations may vary in different communities but its spiritual meaning is generally "the awareness of the inner light". As the word "Deepavali" means "a row or cluster of light", the festival symbolizes the victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness.
21. What can we learn about Diwali from the first two paragraphs

B. It centers on various local food.

A. To expect joy and good luck. B. To pray for a good journey.
C. To create a romantic atmosphere. D. To welcome their friends to visit.
24. What's the present meaning of Diwali

C. Valuing your family members. D. Improving your living environment.
25. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage

With the development of the Internet, many of our activities take place online. Medicine is no exception. Patients can visit doctors by phone call and video chat. Online searches for telehealth increased sharply.
Online visits are best suited to simple tasks, like refilling prescriptions (doctor's orders), as well as diagnosing(诊断) and treating conditions that rely on a doctor's sense of sight— pink eye, rashes, etc.— or a patient's description of symptoms, such as back pain. Telehealth also works better at monitoring chronic(慢性的) conditions, such as congestive heart failure, where doctors don' t need to provide a new diagnosis but simply check up on patients, monitor symptoms and discuss the side effects of medication. Diabetes (糖尿病) is also a good fit: people can upload blood sugar levels, dosing, and other information for a doctor to review electronically.
Mental health service is easy to access digitally, too, though it comes with advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, doctors may not be able to see body language, which can sometimes be a clue to understanding a client' s well being, and a poor Internet connection can be particularly unfavorable during a difficult conversation. On the other hand, there are patients who like it better. "Some health care providers even say having that extra bit of distance makes people more honest and less stressed to talk about difficult topics," says Annette Totten, a professor who has studied telehealth.
When done right, Totten's research shows telehealth benefits both health care providers and patients. It can significantly reduce hospital admissions, which frees beds for people in need of special care. And it' s a lot more convenient for patients, adds Michelle Greiver, a family doctor.
How is the medicine industry changing
convenient. B. popular. C. difficult. D. digital.
27. What kind of disease is fit for a virtual medical visit
A. Heart attack B. High fever C. Uncomfortable eye D. Back injury
28. Why do some mental health patients prefer online service according to the passage
A. Because it reduces their pressure
B. Because it saves them transportation cost.
C. Because it saves them time on the road.
D. Because it makes it easier for them to contact the doctor.
29. What's the author's attitude toward online medical visits
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain.
30. Which aspect of online healthcare does the text focus on
A. application. B. effects. C. development. D. advantages
C
SarahRose Black isn't a doctor or a nurse. Since 2013 she has played an important role for patients at the center as a music therapist (治疗师). One day, a nurse at a medical centre asked her if she could reach out to a patient who refused to take part in any activities. " He's angry with us, and we wonder if you might have an interest in it." the nurse told her.
The next day, Black offered to play music for the patient. "If you don' t like it, you can tell me to leave." she said. After thinking for a while, the man wrote down the names of some music he liked and then looked out the window. However, as Black began to play one of his favorites, he cried. She stopped playing, saying, "Do you want me to continue " "Certainly," he said through tears.
"It was as if the music went places," recalls Black." He shared afterwards that he'd been holding in so much and had been unable to talk about anything — but the music felt like a hug."
It has been shown that music can be medicine. A study conducted in Barcelona's Hospital del Mar found patients receiving music therapy experienced obvious decreases in anxiety and breathing difficulties, as well as an increase in feelings of well-being.
At the Dr Bob Kemp Hospice in Hamilton, Ont., music therapy is widely used. Doug Mattina experienced a music-therapy program when his father spent his last days there. "During the treatment, my mom and I danced around my dad’ s bed. He would request high kicks from us as he clapped along. He was so weak that he sometimes fell asleep, but he was happy. It meant a lot to us." Mattina says.
Music has an especially important effect on sick children. Ruth Hunston, a music therapist at a children's hospital, says her program gives patients back some sense of control. "When children are in hospital, their worlds get much smaller," she explains. "Music allows them to create something themselves."
Music does count in treatment, but Black notes that people actually connect with music for their whole lives." We have a heartbeat, so we have a drum inside us; we are born to be musical," she says," Music relieves our sadness in ways words cannot."
31.How did the patient react to Black's appearance
A. He asked her to leave.
B. He cried and hugged her.
C. He handed her a list of songs.
D. He turned away and walked to the window.
32.What do the underlined words "went places" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Got faster. B. Went wrong. C. Worked well. D. Slowed down.
33.What is mentioned about Doug Mattina's father
A. He often did high kicks.
B. He was once a music therapist.
C. He didn't like talking about his illness.
D. He fell in and out of sleep in the treatment.
34.How does music therapy help children according to Hunston
A. It improves their social ability.
B. It helps them create something.
C. It helps them enjoy a sound sleep.
D. It excites their interest in medical treatment.
35.Which of the following can best describe Black
A. Thoughtful and helpful. B. Strong and talented.
C. Intelligent and honest. D. Hardworking and humorous.

W: Hi, Steve. Did you hear about the Spelling Bee the school organized
M: Hi, Carol. Yes. Actually, my daughter, Sylvia, is in the competition.
W: How exciting! I wish I could go watch it.
M: You should. There are always lots of laughs, but it’s also very stressful.
W: I know. I won the school Spelling Bee when I was in high school.
M: You did I didn’t know that.
W: I was undefeated until I graduated from high school.
M: Wow! That’s amazing. Is that why you became an English teacher
W: Well, that’s part of the reason. I like words. I like reading and writing.
M: You should come with us tonight.
W: I would love to. What time does it start
M: 7 pm. But we have to leave around 6:30. Sylvia needs to be there at 6:45.
W: Ok. I’ll be ready at 6:30. I’m so excited. I hope Sylvia wins.
M: We do too. Do you have any advice for her
W: Just stay focused and concentrate on each word.

Good morning customers! I hope you’re all OK and safe. Playtime Parties would like to thank everyone for the support of my business over the last four and a half years. Due to COVID-19, we’re sad to say that we have to shut down from 5 pm this Friday. For those who already booked your parties with us, we will give you a call next week to see whether you’d like to have your money back or have your credits saved here. Those who’d like to have your credits saved here can use them for your children’s future parties. We don’t know when we can reopen for business and take bookings. It’s a long and sad time for us as a small business but we hope to see you all very soon! There will be a huge discount when bookings can begin again for your children’s parties! Again I would like to thank you all so much for your support! Keep safe!
