Ⅶ.阅读表达
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
September is a big month for students in China since the new term begins at this time of year. In ancient China， the school entrance ceremony(入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies.
Children began school between the ages of 4-7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time， the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school.Next，parents would prepare some school things for their children，including desks，chairs and four treasures of the study.
In ancient times， teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons.Parents would prepare many gifts，and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher.
On the day their children entered school，parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony.Before that，children would kowtow(叩头) to the statue of Confucius(孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect(尊敬).During the ceremony， the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead(前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term.After that， they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student.
Every day， students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher， and kowtow to the statue of Confucius， and then go back to the seats.Usually the teacher would give every student a new name， which was used for future Imperial Examination(科举考试).
Today， some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times.Students put on traditional costumes and bow to the statue of Confucius and their teachers.This marks the start of a child’s lifelong journey of learning.
1.At what age did children begin school in ancient China？

2.List two things parents did for children to enter school in ancient China.




3.Why would children kowtow to the statue of Confucius and their teacher before the First Writing Ceremony？

Between the ages of 4-7.
Parents would choose a lucky day for their children to enter school and prepare some school things for them./Parents would prepare many gifts and write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher.
To show their deep respect.

世界各地的新年庆祝活动
在英国，许多人在12月31日那天齐聚在伦敦，观看著名的大本钟并进行午夜倒计时。研究表明，还有数百万人在电视上观看这一盛况。在午夜时分，他们唱起苏格兰传统歌曲《友谊地久天长》，来怀念朋友和家人。在美国，人们有类似的习俗。一个著名的传统是在纽约时代广场抛下一个大球。巨大的人群聚集观看，当球到达底部时，每个人都互相祝福“新年快乐！”
中国的新年，即春节，在中国具有重要意义。人们扫去房屋中的灰尘，贴对联，放烟花，欣赏舞狮或舞龙。一个非常重要的习俗是人们都要回家团聚，在除夕好好吃一顿年夜饭。祖父母、父母和孩子们聚在一起吃美味的食物，为全家表达最美好的祝愿。这种团聚表明家庭在中国文化中非常重要。
在埃及，人们在四月庆祝Sham El Nessim，以纪念春天的开始。这个节日的名字意为“闻风”。在此期间，天色变得更明朗，花草树木开始展现出它们的颜色。人们画彩蛋作为新生命和新开始的象征。他们还外出野餐、跳舞、唱歌，并在剧院观看戏剧。

New Year Celebrations around the World
New Year is a wonderful time when family and friends come together to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one. People all around the world celebrate the New Year with music， special food， and fireworks， though the celebration may take place at different times.
In the UK， many people gather in London on December 31 to see the famous Big Ben clock tower and count down to midnight. Research suggests that millions also watch it on TV. At midnight they sing Auld Lang Syne， a traditional Scottish song， to remember friends and family. In the US， people have similar customs. A famous tradition involves the dropping of a big ball in New York’s Times Square. Huge crowds gather to watch， and when the ball reaches the bottom， everyone wishes each other “Happy New Year！”
The Chinese New Year， or the Spring Festival， holds great importance in China. People sweep out dust from their houses， hang couplets， set off fireworks， and enjoy lion or dragon dances. One very important custom is for people to return home and enjoy the family dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival. Grandparents， parents， and children gather to eat delicious food and express best wishes for the whole family. This reunion shows that family is hugely important in Chinese culture.
In Egypt， people celebrate Sham El Nessim in April to mark the beginning of spring. The name of the festival means “smelling the breeze”. At this time， the weather becomes brighter， and the flowers and trees begin to show their colors. People paint eggs as symbols of new life and new beginnings. They also go out and enjoy picnics， dance， sing， and watch plays in the theater.
Although New Year festivals are different all over the world， they have one thing in common. In almost every country， people believe that it is a special time to connect with their family and friends and show hope for the coming year.

Why Do We Celebrate Festivals？
Festivals are celebrated around the world.Every festival has its different customs. However， no matter how different they may seem， all over the world， the spirit of sharing joy，thanks，love，or peace is common in all festivals.
Of all the traditional festivals， the harvest(丰收) festival can be found in almost every culture.This important festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in.People celebrate to show that they are thankful for the year’s supply of food.In ancient Egypt， the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season. It had a parade(游行) and a great large meal with music， dancing and sports.Today， in some European countries， people decorate town halls with flowers and fruit，and get together to celebrate over a meal.During the Mid Autumn Festival in China， families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.
Customs play an important role in festivals，but sometimes they can change over time because of the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas. One example is the Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting fireworks to drive away the evil(恶毒的) spirits and celebrate the new year.Nowadays， many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution.Another example is Halloween， which slowly became an exciting festival for children which is far from its original custom.
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial(商业的) with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations.Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones.Although some believe festivals should not be commercialized，others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy(经济) and public happiness.
Festivals are an important part of society.They show people’s wishes， beliefs and attitudes towards life. They allow us to relax and enjoy life， and forget about our work for a little while.They help us understand where we came from，who we are， and what to thank for.And if you study festivals carefully， you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.
