Though India is home to many fun festivals,few are as widely celebrated as Holi,the festival of colors.Celebrated annually on the last full moon day of the Hindu calendar month,the joyous holiday took place on March 29 this year.
During the festival,some go to the streets early in the morning，singing“Holi hai”，and throwing colored powder on one another.Others spend the day dousing（泼洒）passers-by，using water-filled balloons.The fun lasts till noon,after which the crowds head home or to nearby rivers for a quick wash,before settling down for a delicious feast.
One myth in ancient India behind the centuries-old celebration tells the story of Hiranyakashipu，the king of demons(恶魔），who was unhappy with his young son Prahlada's devotion to Lord(神）Vishnu,the protector of humanity.So Hiranyakashipu asked his sister Holika to help kill Prahlada.The demon goddess，who had a magical cloth that protected her from fire,invited Prahlada to join her on a pile of wood in a cruel attempt to burn him to death.
Astoundingly，Holika's protective clothing flew from her shoulders onto Prahlada’s,causing the demon to die in the flames.Soon after,Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of a half-man and half-lion and killed King Hiranyakashipu.The locals celebrated the victory of good over evil with colorful powder，and a fun tradition was born.
In the North Indian state of Uttar Pradesh,Holi celebrates the love between Hindu god Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha.During the festival,men from Nandgaon,where Krishna was born，arrive at Barsana，where Radha lived，to stage a battle with the women.The women“attack”the men with bamboo sticks，while the men protect themselves and try to fight back with colored powder! Those unfortunate enough to get caught are forced to wear women's clothing and dance for the females. Regardless of the myth believed，Holi is a day of love when people of all ages and cultures come together，setting aside their worries.
32.What is the typical way of celebrating Holi in India？
A.Playing water in the nearby rivers.
B.Throwing colours on each other
C.Holding parties with friends at home.
D.Having a feast with passers-by.
33.Whom is Holi commonly believed to honor in ancient India
A.Vishnu.
B.Hiranyakashipu.
C. Holika.
D. Radha.
34.What does the underlined word“Astoundingly”in paragraph 4mean
A.Excitingly.
B.Hopefully.
C. Obviously.
D.Surprisingly.
35.What do people most probably think of Holi in Uttar Pradesh？
A.It is a platform to show off their talents.
B.It is a good chance to share their worries.
C.It is an occasion to enjoy love and have fun.
D.It's a memorable day for the battle.

My friend invited me to a trapeze(高空秋千)class. I was doubtful because of a lack of courage and a short of self-confidence,but her enthusiasm and assurances of strict safety rules won me over.
I had been fearful of heights since elementary school and avoiding my fear of heights became second nature.But here I was,at age twenty-six,facing my fear of heights in a rather extreme way.I had come around to the idea of trying trapeze.I figured it wasn't much different from swinging（摆动）on the monkey bars as a kid.One difficulty I didn't expect was the ladder(梯子).In order to reach the trapeze,I had to climb up a twenty-two-foot ladder.
I could hear one of my classmates expressing her impatience with my slow climb up the ladder.“If she's afraid of heights,why did she sign up fora trapeze class ”However,my friend was at the top of the ladder,trying to encourage me.Besides,his distraction techniques helped to take my mind off my dangerous task.I found a rhythm（节奏）and kept going.With a slow and steady pace，I made it to the
top.The cheers from my classmates rang out below.
An instructor told me to step to the edge of the platform.He reminded me of the safety rules，including the net below that would catch me at the bottom.He also asked me to listen to the directions while in the air，so I could perform a trick.
As the instructor counted down,I took a deep breath and pushed off the platform,swinging back and forth.At that moment,I lost awareness of time and space.Fortunately,the instructor's voice came over the loudspeaker,giving me step-by-step instructions for performing a trick.Instead of doubting my inability to perform the trick,I took his directions one step at a time.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
During my flight on the trapeze，my fear didn't completely leave me._________________

One possible version:
During my flight on the trapeze,my fear didn't completely leave me.My palms were clammy，my heart was racing，and my mouth was dry.But I turned down the dial of my fear so I could be present in the experience.I focused my thoughts on the instructor’s voice instead of my internal dialogue about what could go wrong.In the end,I successfully completed the task.I couldn't believe I had actually done it!
This experience opened up a new way of seeing myself and approaching other challenges.I became more capable of
Overcoming my fear and learned to believe in myself.I became more open to try new things.After my trapeze flight，I took
an archery class，went on my first kayaking trip，and hiked alonga200-foot cliff in Nova Scotia.While these experiences made my heart pound,I completed them,one step at a time.Whether my steps were small or big，on the ground or in midair，I wanted to keep stepping out of my comfort zone.
