Each year, we celebrate many holidays here in America.

On January 1, we welcome the coming of a new year like many people in other countries. And we have another four holidays on the first day of a month: April Fool’s Day, May Day, Friendship Day (Aug.1) and Grandparents Day (Sep. 1).

The most important holiday for the young people comes in February. It is Valentine’s Day. Lots of boys give red roses to girls as a present.

People celebrate some holidays for their family members. We say thanks to our mother in May and celebrate Father’s Day in the following month. In November many people return home for Thanksgiving Day, so the whole family can stay together.

There are also some interesting holidays for children. For example, Halloween comes at the end of October. Children often play with pumpkin lanterns and put on all kinds of masks.

Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an example.
There was a farmer who   36  corn(玉米)all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the   37  and won the first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer   38  his seed(做種子的) corn to his neighbors.
"How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked. "You know they are taking part in the   39  with you each year."
"Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The   40  picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow   41  corn, cross-pollination (異花傳粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn. "

A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to drop these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.
First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!
Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.
【小題1】From the first paragraph we know that      .

A.people always fail to break bad habits
B.we must change all the habits we have
C.a(chǎn) habit is a terrible thing we can never change
D.it’s difficult, but we should do something about bad habits
【小題2】The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that      .[來(lái)源:學(xué)_科_網(wǎng)]
A.it is not easy to give up bad habitsB.there is a long way and a short way
C.something dangerous may happen D.we must cut bad habits in a short time
【小題3】 According to the passage, if you want to drop your habits, you have to      .
A.talk to others when you are in low spiritsB.know why you do what you do
C.finish your homework firstD.spend less time on the Internet
【小題4】. The main purpose of this passage is to ask us       .
A.not to shout at people when we are sadB.not to spend much time on the Internet

閱讀下面短文,簡(jiǎn)要回答所給問(wèn)題。

To Protect the environment, China has put a ban on thin plastic bag (plastic bag thinner than 0.025mm) From June 1, 2008. China stopped the production, sale and use of these plastic bags to the public.

Plastic bags can cause “white pollution”, because they can take 400-1000 years to break down. They pollute the soil and water. Plastic bags also cause a serious danger to animals. Animals often mistake plastic bags for food. Thousands of them die each year after eating plastic bags.

So what kind of bags will be the best to use when we are shopping? Recently some students made their own shopping bags. Most students used old clothes to make their bags. They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them. But Li Lei had a more traditional way to make her bag. She weaved(編織) a bamboo basket . It was not an easy job. With her grandfather’s help, Li Lei spent the whole afternoon making it .What can we do? Refuse plastic bags and persuade people to use environmentally shopping bags instead of plastic ones. Try to recycle the one we have .

1.Did Li Lei make her shopping bag by herself?

________________________________________

2.Why do plastic bags cause a serious danger to animals?

__________________________________________

3.What kind of material did most students use to make their shopping bags?

__________________________________________________________

4.When did China stop the production , sale and use of these plastic bags ?

____________________________________________________________

5.According to the passage, what should we do to protect the environment? (One example is OK.)
