Welcoming the new year is a universal concept shared by many countries. Every country has a special way of welcoming the upcoming year with unique traditions. Here are some ways countries celebrate the new year around the world.
Hitting bread on the doors and walls in Ireland
In Ireland, it is a custom to hit bread on the doors and walls of one’s house to drive away bad luck and spirits. They hope this will invite new spirits and good luck to welcome the new year.
Eating 12 grapes before midnight in Spain
As the clock strikes midnight, Spaniards eat 12 grapes, each grape standing for good luck in the whole year. The goal is to swallow all the grapes before the clock stops chiming to gain a year filled with good fortune.
Displaying round fruits in the Philippines
Similar to the tradition of eating grapes in Spain, Filipinos display 12 types of round fruit on the dining table, symbolizing richness for all 12 months of the year. It is also common to wear dots for the same reason. Interestingly, the symbolism dates back to the round shape of gold and silver coins.
Wearing white and jumping through seven waves in Brazil
When the clock strikes midnight, Brazilians jump through seven waves while making a wish with each wave. The number seven is connected to the water goddess who is said to guide people through difficulties in the new year.

As a housewife, I had Kransky, our dog, for almost two years. One day when I was calling my mum, Kransky was sniffing a mole (痣) on my right leg with his wet nose over and over. I kept laughing and told mum about it. After hearing my explanation, her tone changed. “There’s been research on pets being able to discover illness,” she replied. “Please, book in a skin check.”
But then I just care little about it and didn’t do anything. When she followed up a couple of times though, I made an appointment with my doctor. On seeing the mole on my leg, the doctor insisted it be removed immediately. I was surprised by his seriousness and had the mole removed on the spot. A few days later, the doctor’s office told me that I had a cancerous melanoma (黑色素瘤) and gave me details of a surgeon who would remove it. I made the arrangements and quickly hung up. Tears flowed as anger filled my body. “You’ve left it too late,” I spoke angrily to myself.
My surgery was set for eight weeks’ time, and Kransky was by my side through it all. After the surgery, a doctor advised me to have regular skin checks every three months for years. Thankfully, this meant no chemotherapy (化疗) or radiation. And I often think if Kransky hadn’t found it out, my situation would have been so much worse.
Now, I’m sharing my story to remind others to get skin checks regularly. Not everyone has an angel like Kransky to point out when something’s wrong.
4. What did the mum want her daughter to do
A．To see a doctor.
B．To take a skin care.
C．To abandon the dog.
D．To check into a hospital.

B．She met a wrong surgeon.
C．She felt rather regretful.
D．She was in high spirits.
6. What is the author’s attitude to Kransky after the surgery
A．Curious.
B．Honest.
C．Critical.
D．Grateful.
7. What is the text
A．A movie review.
B．A short story.
C．A research paper.
D．A lecture notice.
C
Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die.
However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference.
While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several challenges remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change.
This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration.
The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come
8. What is special about the trees found in Kenya
A．They help turn CO2 into solids.
B．They can absorb more CO2.
C．They can release oxygen quickly.
D．They live in harmony with bacteria.
9. Why is the accurate data on CO2 transformation of the trees important
A．To grow more trees in Kenya quickly.
B．To carry out more cooperative researches.
C．To keep the ecological balance and increase biodiversity.
D．To evaluate the global impact of the CO2 transformation.
10. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs
A．The method of green development.
B．The role of nature in climate solutions.
C．The prospect of scientific approaches.
D．The seriousness of global climate change.
11. What does the passage tell us
A．Kenyan trees are a natural carbon lock.
B．A defensive strategy in nature is found.
C．Tree planting is a key to ecological balance.
D．A recent advance in CO2 research is achieved.
D
The key to a happy life has nothing to do with getting ahead at work, making money, or traveling the world. Instead, living your best life and creating meaning is all about one thing: relationships.
A study of adult development has been running at Harvard since 1938, and is now on its second generation of participants—the children of the original study’s subjects. Over decades, the research team collected data about their lives, including their physical and mental health, marital (婚姻的) status and quality, career happiness, etc.
They found the most important aspect in how happy and healthy these men were over time was their relationships. In other words: Finding happiness in life is all about the people you love.
The research doesn’t only include romantic relationships and marriage. Quality, close relationships are important whether they are in the situation of romantic relationships or closeness between friends or family members. The kind of relationship you have is less important than how close you feel with them.
However, the study only included men, and important gender differences exist in how people experience relationships. Some research suggests that men may benefit more from marriage. But they tend to have a harder time keeping friendships; as men get older, they will more likely say they have nobody to discuss important subjects with. So it’s possible that having close relationships throughout their lives might affect men differently than women.
The findings line up with the effects of loneliness. People who are socially isolated have a greater likelihood of strokes (中风), heart attacks, and higher blood pressure, not to mention mental health issues.
Unfortunately for the youngest generations, recent surveys found that young Americans are lonelier than older generations. That will likely have a big impact on how healthy and happy people feel throughout their lives.
12. What’s the moral lesson from this passage
A．Travel far and wide to learn a lot.
B．Keep an open mind to be creative.
C．Treasure your time with your loved ones.
D．Work hard to be the best of your profession.
13. What’s the implication of Paragraph 5
A．Women are unwilling to participate in the study.
B．Men are better at maintaining a close relationship.
C．Women are not treated equally in scientific research.
D．The findings of the study may not be true for women.
14. Why is the youngest generation unfortunate
A．Because they have nobody to talk to.
B．Because they are more socially isolated.
C．Because they can’t keep their relationships.
D．Because they suffer physically and mentally.
15. What is the best title for the text
A．Close Relationships Make a Happy Life
B．Men Look Forward to Close Relationships
C．Close Relationships Ensure People’s Health
D．Men and Women Differ in Keeping Relationships

If you feel depressed, it’s best to do something about it—depression doesn’t just go away on its own. In addition to getting help from a doctor or counselor, here are four things you can do to feel better.
Exercise. Take a 15-to-30-minute walk every day—or dance, jog, or bike if you prefer. People who are depressed may not feel much like being active. ___16___. Once you get in the exercise habit, it won’t take long to notice a difference in your mood.

Identify troubles. Try to make out any situations that have contributed to your depression. When you know what’s got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend. ___18___. If there’s no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well.
___19___ Depression affects a person’s thoughts, making everything seem dark, negative, and hopeless. If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life. Try to notice one thing, and then try to think of one more.

People often say: Friendship is like a plant of slow growth. Emily and I are just like that. Our two families were already neighbours. That was in the spring of 2008, the two of us were born on the same day in the same hospital. Emily was born two and a half hours earlier than me.
When we were children, we almost wore the same clothes and even caught colds together. Later on, when we went to kindergarten and elementary school, we were not together. However, I still remember a sentence my mother said to Emily's mother, "Sometimes we are not together, but I still have the feeling that you are there by my side."
My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school. My senior year at Westfield High School was supposed to be the best year of my life. Instead, it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget. As graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on Emily and me.
Emily was a member of the school's women's volleyball team. She enjoyed socializing and didn't seem to value her academic studies as much as I did. She always wanted to bring me to the sports field for activities. She said it would promote learning, but I was very unwilling.
Emily and I became distant. I focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together. Our different goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things.
One day, things reached a boiling point. We had a huge fight over a group project. Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair. We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch. Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move. The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit.
It wasn't until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront (面对) each other.
At first, we worked in tense silence.

"I miss you, too," I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat (喉咙哽咽).

No Littering, Keep Our Campus Clean and Tidy
Recently, I’ve noticed many bad littering behaviours on campus. Empty drink bottles and snack bags are thrown everywhere on paths, lawns and beside classrooms, which ruins our beautiful school environment.
To solve this problem, I put forward several suggestions. First, we should put rubbish into dustbins instead of dropping it casually. Second, volunteers can take turns to clean public areas every afternoon. Third, our class can hold speeches to call on all students to protect the campus.
Small actions make big differences. Let’s work together to keep our school tidy and pleasant.
读后续写范文
At first, we worked in tense silence. Neither of us dared to break the ice. We only exchanged necessary words about the presentation materials without eye contact. After finishing sorting out the data, Emily sighed softly and said she felt sad about our quarrel these weeks. She explained she just hoped I could relax from heavy study pressure and share fun with her. Hearing her words, my heart softened and I realized I had been too stubborn before.
"I miss you, too," I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat. We talked calmly about our different plans for the future and promised to understand each other more. We cooperated smoothly to finish the wonderful presentation. After that, we went back to eating lunch together and hanging out again. This experience taught me true friendship needs communication and tolerance.
