The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or DragonHeadRaising Festival, falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year, and recognizes the start of spring and farming.This year it falls on February 24.

People eat tofu balls in East China's Fujian Province during the festival, and often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business.Fried beans are the traditional festival food for people in parts of Shandong Province. Eating chengyao cakes, which are made with sticky rice, during the festival is a tradition in Suzhou, East China's Jiangsu Province, owing to the saying, “If you eat chengyao cakes on Longtaitou, your waist won't hurt all year. ” Meanwhile other foods, like noodles, dumplings, and spring rolls, are named after dragon body parts to mark the day.Noodles are dragon's beard (long xu), dumplings are dragon's ears (long er), spring rolls dragon's scales (long lin)．

Who're happier, men or women? Research shows it's a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn't really that helpful, because basically, happiness is different for women and men.
Women's happiness has been declining for the past 30 years, according to recent statistics. And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men. Gender (性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological, psychological(心理的) and social factors contribute to the difference.
Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings. Women are more likely to express happiness, warmth and fear, which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver, while men display more anger, pride and disrespect, which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.
Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially, but also genetically related. Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons (镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings. Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people's view, to understand their actions and intentions. This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness. Women tend to experience more negative feelings, such as more guilt, shame and to a lesser degree, embarrassment.
Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings. With the exception of anger, women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others. Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation — which has been linked to greater happiness. This supports the theory that women's happiness is more dependent on relationships than men's.
12．Which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women?
A．Warmth.　　　　　　 B．Depression.
C．Happiness. D．Disrespect.
13．What factors cause women to share feelings more openly?
A．Psychological factors. B．Biological factors.
C．Educational factors. D．Social factors.
14．One can probably read the text from .
A．a science fiction B．a culture brochure
C．a nursery guide D．a health magazine
15．What is the text mainly about?
A．Men and women differ in biology and psychology.
B．Men and women experience happiness differently.
C．Social roles have a great effect on men and women.
D．Women's happiness has declined in the past years.

It was time to go home.“ Remember to work on your class speeches for homework，” Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their school bags.Jenny felt sick.She hated having to read aloud in class.She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her.Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school.He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence.He was just one of those people who were good at everything.Jenny sighed.As she turned the corner, she saw Lee's watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn't want to run after him.Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home.On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking.She was surprised it fitted so well.She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech.Words just flooded out of her.“ I'm going to talk about swimming.I have been lucky.I've won lots of competitions.But when I'm in a race, I'm not really thinking about winning.I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water ...” Jenny laughed with excitement.She walked across the room.She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence.Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass.The flashes of silver seemed almost magical.So maybe Lee's watch really did have something magic.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first.Nobody moved.Jenny slowly raised her arm.Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind.“ She's stolen my watch！” Lee said angrily，“ It went missing at school yesterday.”
Paragraph 1：
Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation.　

Paragraph 2：
At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny's speech first.
