Are you interested in themysterious EastemDragon Do youwant to know something about its festivals and
cultures Let's dig into onc of thcir important but less widely-cclebrated festival—the Shangsi Festival.
Origins
Dating back over 2,000 years to the Zhou Dynasty(1046-256 BCE),Shangsi Festival (Double Third Festival)
is celcbrated on the third day of the third lunar month.
The Festival originated from ancient purification ceremony called "Fuxi" and river god worship customs.
People washed themsclves to rid bad luck and illness,and also worshipped the river god,praying for favorable
weather,abundant rainfall,and good harvests.
Different celebrations in different ethnics
In modem times,the spirit of embracing nature and pursuing physical and mental health,as well as customs
like spring outings and water-rclated activities,is still passed down and experienced by certain groups of people in
various forms.
·She Ethnic Group:For the She people,it is the Black Rice Festival which is as important as their Lunar
New Year celebration.They prepare black-colored rice,a practice believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good
fortune.
·Dong Ethnic Group:The Dong people celebrate with a unique "Flower Cannon(炮)"competition.Young
men compete to catch the spccial iron cannon,as capturing the ring is believed to bring happiness and good luck
to their community.
·Zhuang Ethnic Group:Known as the Song Festival,this day serves as the Zhuang people's oldest
Valentine's Day.Young people participate in antiphonal(应答的)singing,expressing feelings,showcasing talents,
and searching for life-mates.
·Yao Ethnic Group:Yao community celebrates“Gan Ba Festival”by hunting and making gan ba(dried
meat strips).

Last weck,I visited my local bank to put a cheque into my account.While the procedurc itself was relatively
simple and user-friendly,I chose to double-check the details with the teller(出纳员)to ensurc accuracy.The teller,
apparently new to role,was unsure about the steps.He called his manager for assistance.The manager patiently
explained everything to me,and I really apprcciated what he did.
However,as the manager explained the steps,I couldn't help but noticc the teller's lack of engagement.
Instead of absorbing the guidance,he occupied himsclf with somcthing else.What struck me most was the
manager's passive responsc to this bchavior.Rather than cncouraging the teller to focus on his instruction
attentively,he simply completed the task himsclf and rcturned to his office.
On my way homc,reflccting on the situation,I realized that the manager failed to use a preventive method.
This might lead to the teller's asking for help again in the future,causing the manager to repeatedly leave his desk
to managc the same issucs.This would definitely interrupt the manager's routine work and waste his precious
time,which could otherwise be better spent on his core duties.Obviously,if the root cause of the problem is not
solved,such situation will happen more than once again,and it will potentially affect customer satisfaction.
This experience reveals a fundamental truth:It is a must to enable people to handle tasks independent of
external assistance.We shouldn't cmphasize the significance of having a clear vision too much.It involves
predicting future needs and making the right moves to solve them.Thus,we should begin with the end in mind,
planning for long-term success.After all,sustainable success begins not with fixing today's issues,but with
preventing tomorTow's.
24.Why did the teller turn to the manager for help
A.He was busy with other affairs.
B.The procedure was too complex.
C.He had uncertainty as a new employec.
D.The matter was not in the charge of him.
25.What kind of help did the manager offer to the tceller
A.Absolute replacement. B.Passive response.
C.Professional guidance. D.Sincere encouragement.
26.What key strategy does the author recommend to solve such issues
A.Making a further plan about regulation.
B.Emphasizing the importance of prevention.
C.Having a clear vision of personal development.
D.Cultivating independence through empowerment.
27.Whichofthefollowing proverbsbestmatchesthemain idenofthetext
A.Many handsmakc light work.
B.Nothing is diflicult to themanwhowill try.
C.Hopc for the best andprepare for theworst.
D.Teach aman to fish and you fccd him for a lifetime.

Dronc delivcry companyWing has temporarily paused dcliveries to the Canbcrra suburb ofHarison after a
n csting raven( 乌 鸦 )dived to a drone delivcring coffc.It has aroused an intercsting dichotomy :If such deliveries
arc the carbon-fricndly future,can birds and droncs coexist,or should actions be taken to relieve any illeffects of
droncs on wildlife
In recent ycars,drones have becomc increasingly popular,with more and more people taking them to explore
morc unknown arcas and rcsearch wildlife.However,droncs can posc a threat to birds,especially if flown too
closc to their ncsts,as birds may view them as predators or threats and attack them or abandon thecir nests,leading
to a decline in bird populations in some arens.In some cases,drones have been reported to cause direct harm to
birds by interfering with their flight patterns.Additionally,drones cause noise pollution and disrupt birds' natural
habitats and behavior.
Weston,the profcssor of wildlife conservation at Deakin University says birds attacking drones is also not
rare."Dcakin relcases a study of 275 dronc pilots showing that almost 20%reported physical contact between
their dronc and a bird.So it's a problcm."he says.
Birdlife Australia's Sean Dooley says it's hard to be sure if birds mistake drones for other birds,or simply
recognisc them as a threat.It's about drone delivery companies having a sustainable business model without
losing too many drones.Dooley is keen to stress what a favor drones are for conservationists.“When properly
used,they'rc grcat to accuratcly count colonics of endangered birds in inaccessible areas."he says.
Prof Weston says a centralised recording of all wildlife and drone interactions will help inform solutions.
Weston calls for standardised protocols,agreed no-fly zones and better training for drone operators on what to do
when an aggressive encounter happens.
28.What does the underlined word "dichotomy"in the first paragraph probably mean
A.Conclusion. B.Division. C.Perspcctive. D.Conflict.
29.What is a potential risk of drones to birds
A.Birds may be attacked by drones.
B.Drones may destroy the birds'ncsts.
C.Birds might suffer behavioral disorders.
D.Drones may limit the birds's access to food.
30.What is SeanDooley's attitude towards the use of drones in protection efforts
A.Negative. B.Ambiguous. C.Indifferent. D.Optimistic.
31.Whichof the followingcanbeasuitable title for thetext
A.Drone delivery services:A future trend
B.Birds VS droncs:The battle for the sky
C.Technology PK wildlife:Threats of balance
D.The rescuc of the birds:Standardised droncs

How unplcasant should children's books be In the Grimms'day,the answer was very.Though,as is pointed
out,their storics werc not rcally intended for childrcn.
The Grimms were linguists,not novelists;their aim was protection,not entertainment.As narrative
naturalists,thcy wanted to pick Gemany's native species of story from its fields and press them between the
pages ofthcir books bcfore such tales went cxtinct under the background of industrialiasation.
The aimmight have been scholarly,but the result was an unexpected children's bestseller.But not everyonc
approved:carly readers complained about the darkness.The famous "happily ever after"ending changed into the
glummer"And if they haven't died,they're still alive."TheGrimms replied quickly:Take the dark bits away from
children's books and you may as well"blindfold"youngsters so they cannot see at all.
A look at the bestseller chart shows that books that sell swectness do well.One evcr-popular title is "Guess
How Much I Love You”,in which Little Nutbrown Rabit spends his days trying to tell Big Nutbrown Rabit how
much he loves him and does not experience a painful death.What's more,in America in a recent decade,silly,
scatological(粪便的)books,such as “The Fart(屁)that Changed the World”,also become more popular.
Children's literature has never been just for children.Adults happily read "Harry Potter".All good children's
writers know that they are“writing for a double audience",says Cressida Cowell,a former children's laureate in
Britain.The very best children's books work on both levels.Children's books are certainly not as dark as they
were in the Grimms'time,nor do they need to be.But perhaps more parents long for books for their children that
better balance dark and light,and motivate happiness ever with big bad wolves.
32.Why did the Grimms create the Grimms'srotries
A.To pursue literaturc achievements. B.To reveal the dark side of human nature.
C.To provide amusement for children. D.To prevent the old stories from disappearing.
33.What did the Grimms think of the dark elements in their stories
A.It appealed to more readers.
B.It deepened the children's insights.
C.It removed adults'blind trust in society.
D.It was a unique writing style for scholars.
34.Which kindofbooksare preferredbychildren in rcccnt days
A.Positivc or funny oncs. B.Inspiring or meaningful ones.
C.Temifying or silly oncs. D.Romantic or educational ones.
35.What would thc bcst children's books be likc
A.Conccntrating more on youngcr readers.
B.Being frcc of ncgativc and silly contcnts.
C.Inspiring happincss with proper darkncss.
D.Motivating children's comprchcnsive level.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Being kind has kind of gotcn a bad famc rccently.Maybe you've heard that if you arc kind,pcople will take
advantage of you or takc you for granted.Or that no good deed gocs unpunished.Yes,many people scem to
somchow cqual kindncss to weakness or deficiency.But that's missing the point. 36
Whydo others not respect you and even try to take advantage ofyou Usually,it's more about them than you.
Maybc thcy arc fcarful.Fear can do a number on peoplc. 37 .The "sclf-protcction"forces them to prevent
anyonc from doing,basically,anything.
Then they may have low self-cstcem.Dcep down,many pcople don't believc that they actually deserve
kindness. 38 .Or they might have unresolved pain.When pcople are in pain,they may fcel the nced to
blow up at others.And it may bc casicr to attack somcone who is kind than someone who is mean.
39 .Some peoplc arc genuine 100%all-natural,bad pcople.They can subscribc to the “it's all about me,
all thc time"philosophy that ranks kindncss somewhere below belly button lint in their list of things to be
respcctcd.
All these are actually reasons why exhibiting genuine kindness is a sign of strength.It means you are ablc to
overcomc any typc of fear,inferiority(自卑),or intemal pain that you may have. 40 .And you know you
have the strength to overcome such thing.Helping others is not as casy but,frankly,is a lot more fulfilling.So,
why not be morc kind,genuincly kind
A.The fact is thc opposite
B.Actually,to be truly kind takes strength and power
C.Anothcr case is that thcy are actually self-centered guys
D.It means you are willing to risk being taken advantage of
E.It means you are driven by an intemal compass but not an external one
F.This fceling motivates them to wrap themselves in layers of defense mechanisms
G If you are acting kind to them,they may think there must be something wrong with you

Parenting is n constant balancing act.We want to tcach our children important life lessons,while also

Rccently,my 13-ycar-old daughter asked mc to buy her a S28 phonc case(手机壳).Her old one wasn't
broken;she was just bored of it.For me,it was a 43 no.However,saying "no"in moments like this isn't
easy. The request felt 44 but I kncw there was a bigger lesson to tcach.It's about teaching our children to
think. 45 about their spending. At the same time, we don't want to 46 overly strict or dismissive
of their feclings.
In this case,I realized my daughtcr's requcst wasn't just about the phone case;it was about her 47
for somcthing new,trendy,and cxciting.Aftcr all,to a 13-year-old,a new phone case might fecl like a big
48 ,a way to cxpress themsclvcs or 49 in with their fricnds.So how do we find the middlc
ground
Instead of shutting down the conversation,I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and 50 .I
explained that we must. 51 what's cssential over impulse(冲动)purchases.But I also 52 her
feelings."I gct it,"I told her.Sometimes we just want somcthing new because it feels exciting.This 53
the conversation and made her more willing to listen.Instead of a flat-out“no”,I suggested a compromise(妥协).
I offered her three 54 _:Earn it,wait it out or explore altematives.
That conversation wasn't just about a phone case.It was about guiding my daughter toward better 55
without damaging our relationship.

IfI hadn't been a struggling violinist,I might have never become a writer.In fourth grade,my school had an
orchestra program,and I cagerly signed up to leam the violin.I loved the idea of being in the orchestra and went
to the music lessons every weck.
The orchestra teacher,Mr.Black,was strict.He told us that if we damaged our instruments,we'd be kicked
out of the program because the school couldn't afford the expensive pieccs of the instrument.Unfortunately,I
wasn't very good at the violin.One day,while practicing,the bridge of my violin flew off and the strings broke.
Scared of Mr.Black's reaction,I tried to fix it myself with some gluc.But when he saw my crooked bridge,
he told me I couldn't be in the orchestra anymore.Instead,he suggested I join the singing club.
I did switch to the chorus club,where I stayed,thinking I had found my placc.I enjoyed singing with others,
even though I didn't have a great voice.And as luck would have it,the elementary school sing club automatically
fed into the junior high chorus.We had lots of chances to give performances.Instead of a violinist,I became a
singer in an orchestra.Don't be confused.My singing was not outstanding,but in the midst of so many others,I
could blend(融合).
One Monday after a big performance,my English teacher Ms.Rose asked if anyone was interested in writing
an article about his or her singing experience.
