Food festivals around the world

Stilton Cheese Rolling

May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane. Competition is fierce（激烈的）and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos （disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones）. All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment（佐餐物）for Stilton cheese.

Fiery Food and BBQ Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth

Every year more than 10,000 people head for New Mexico to join in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. They all have a liking for food that is not just spicy, but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper-officially the hottest pepper in the world — or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!

La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight

On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatine-the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50, 000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back.

Bom in Ayrshire, in 1759 to William Burness, a poor farmer, Robert Burns was the eldest of seven children. He spent his youth working on his father's farm, but in spite of poverty he also read a lot—at the insistence of his father, who employed a teacher for Robert and his younger brother Gilbert. At 15 Robert was the principal worker on the farm and this encouraged him to start writing. It was at this age that Robert wrote his first poem Handsome Nell.

When his father died in 1784, Robert and his brother became partners on the farm. However, Robert was more interested in the romantic nature of poetry than the hard work of farming.

However, at the point of giving up farming, his first collection Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect was published and received much praise from critics. This, together with pride of being a parent, made him stay in Scotland. He moved around the county, finally arriving in Edinburgh, where he joined the circles of the artists and writers who were called the “Ploughman Poet”.

In a matter of weeks he was changed from a local hero to a national celebrity （名 人）.The fame did not bring a fortune and he took up a job to make additions to the low income. While collecting taxes he continued to write, contributing songs to the likes of James Johnson's The Scots Musical Museum and George Thomson's A Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs for the Voice. In all, more than 400 of Robert's songs are still in existence.

The last years of Robert's life were devoted to writing great poetic masterpieces 作）such as The Lea Rig, Tam o'Shanter and A Red , Red Rose. At the age of 37, he died of heart disease caused by the hard physical work he did when he was young.

On the day of his burial (葬礼）tens of thousands of people came to watch and pay their respect. However, his popularity then was nothing compared to the heights it has reached since. On the anniversary of his birth, Scots both at home and abroad celebrate Robert Burns with a supper — a celebration which would undoubtedly make him proud. 24. What can we know about Robert Burns?

A. He became a popular poet at 15.

B. He was born into a wealthy family.

C. He was lucky to receive education.

D. He was inspired to write by his father.

25. What was people's reaction to Robert Burns' first collection?

A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Favourable.         D. Uncaring.

26. What did Robert Burns do after becoming famous?

A. He became interested in singing.

B. He went on writing while working.

C. He helped other writers create poems.

D. He moved abroad and lived a hard life.

27. What does the text mainly talk about?

C. The anniversary of a Scottish poet.

D. The development of Romanticism.

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.

And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't. In the World Book Day's “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out), I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell's 1984. I think it's really brilliant.

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him, but haven't lied about it either) and Herman Melville.

Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress" someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!

But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll come clean： I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).

28. How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A. By mentioning a famous name. B. By discussing the book itself.

C. By judging his manner of speaking. D. By looking into his background.

29. Which of the following is a "guilty secret“ according to the World Book Day report? A. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.

B. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.

C. The author admitted having read 9 books.

D. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.

30.By lying about reading, a person hopes to.

A. learn about the book

B. appear knowledgeable

C. control the conversation

D. make more friends

31. What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Are You a Book Liar? B. Readers Are All Liars

C. World Book Day D. Dreams From My Father

D

Like clockwork, nearly every fourth February includes one extra day. February 29th, also known as Leap Day （闰日),isn't exactly a holiday. Instead. it's there to keep your calendar consistent with the earth's rotation（旋转）around the sun.

According to history, Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the “father" of Leap Year. Until he came along, people had used a 355-day calendar, which was 10. 25 days shorter than the solar year （太阳年）.Roman officials were supposed to add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be. But that didn't work out all that well. When special occasions started shifting into different seasons around 45 BCE, Caesar consulted experts and then announced that the Roman empire should use a 12-month, 365-day calendar, which he named after himself. Caesar's Julian calendar included a Leap Day every four years.

Though Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth's rotation around the sun, it causes a different kind of problem for leapsters. When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays during the other three-quarters of their lives? Some party on February 28th, while others prefer a two — day celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March.

Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system. In 2006, a court in USA was deciding whether criminal John Melo could be set free two days early since his 10-year sentence（判刑）included two Leap Days. In the case, the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years, not days. Leap Day didn't make a bit of difference.

Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don't include Leap Day, almost all experts and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track.

32. Why was Leap Day created?

A. To keep pace with the solar year.

B. To keep track of all the seasons.

C. To celebrate special occasions.

D. To honor Emperor Julius Caesar.

33. What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies?

A. It is sometimes delayed.

B. It lasts at least two days.

C. It has to be held every other year.

D. It may take place on different dates.

34. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Joke. B. Topic.

C. Trouble. D. Mistake.

35. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Leap Day was named after Julius Caesar.

B. Leapsters celebrate their birthdays once every four years.

C. John Melo benefited from Leap Day.

D. People hold different attitudes towards Leap Day.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的 短文。

It took place in a teacher's family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed

down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother's favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place.

As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks （裂纹）that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour's cat jumped in from the window and he couldn't drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son's nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben's mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn't just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.

Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.

In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mothers face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
