Joey was happy because he had many special friends—four squirrels(松鼠), two rabbits, and many colorful birds. At the meal time, these wild animals came near to the family and they would feed these special friends.

In the large yard stood thirteen trees of different sizes. One day, while Joey was playing with his sister under the trees, he noticed that a tree trunk(树干) had a sad look. He ran into the house to tell his mom about it. She told Joey to find out the reason why it was sad.

So Joey went into the yard, ran to the sad tree and asked, “Why are you unhappy？”

“I am the smallest tree around. The birds don't fly to me. The rabbits don't eat grass under me. The squirrels don't climb to my top. Nobody needs me or loves me，” replied the sad tree.

After knowing the reason, the family had a meeting. Joey suggested making a seat under the sad tree. Joey's father said he could help make seats around the tree. The family would sit under the tree and the tree wouldn't feel sad anymore.

When Joey told his special friends the tree was sad, they decided to do what they could to help make the sad tree happy again.

Early the next morning, when Joey woke up, he noticed birds singing happily in the little tree and saw squirrels running up and down in it. Rabbits were eating the fresh grass around the tree. The little tree was happy again.

Joey ran inside to tell the good news to his family. Joey's mother and father went into the yard and saw the happy trees.

“Let's start to build the seats around the tree. I will need help to build them. Get the nails(钉子) for me, Joey，” said the father.

“I can help you hold the nails, Dad，” said Joey's sister.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

26. Why did the tree feel sad?

China has accepted Western fashion and culture as it has developed these years, but a lot of young people are turning to the past for their clothes choices and putting on traditional “hanfu”.

As the development of traditional culture, hanfu is getting more and more popular with the teenagers. Every year, we can enjoy different hanfu shows around the cities. These shows bring us back to Han Dynasty. We learn more about the history, culture and beauty from them.

Hanfu hasn't been in the same style since Han Dynasty. However, this kind of clothes has something in common. They all have large soft robes(袍服), with sleeves that hang down to the knees, so the hands can't be seen.

In modern China, the hanfu lovers are from history fans, cartoon fans to clothes fans.

“Clothes are an important part of culture, so both the traditional clothes and modern clothes play the same role in culture，” said Zhang Jun, a famous reporter. “If the people and the country do not even understand our traditional clothes or don't wear them, how can we talk about other important parts of our culture？”

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

31. What clothes does the passage talk about?

32. Which paragraph(段落) tells the reason why hanfu is getting more and more popular?

A. ①   B. ② 

C. ③   D. ⑤

33. Who are hanfu lovers in China nowadays?

A. History fans. B. Cartoon fans.

C. Clothes fans.  D. All of the above.

34. What does the underlined word “sleeves” mean in Chinese?

A. 衣领   B. 衣袖 

C. 纽扣   D. 拉链

35. Zhang Jun thinks ____.

A. clothes are not the part of culture

B. it's not necessary for us to wear hanfu

C. clothes help us understand our culture better

D. hanfu isn't so important as modern clothes
