An Activity for Reading   By：CCTV Department of Education

This activity is developed by reading experts for you to use with children. Doing the activity with your children helps you develop their reading skills while having fun at the same time. If the reader finishes one book and asks for another, you know you are succeeding!

We wish you spend wonderful hours of reading with children！This summer holiday, we will invite some families to the program Readers to read aloud poems or books you like, and share your reading experience.

Activity：Read to me

It’s important to read to your child，but equally important to listen to them to read to you. What you’ll need：Books at your child’s reading level.

What to do：

▲Read good books to your child. Parents who read aloud to their children are developing their interests and skills in reading. Encourage your children to listen, express their ideas and ask questions.

▲Take turns. You read a paragraph and let your child read the next one. If your child becomes easier with reading aloud, you can ask him or her to read a full page.

▲Listen carefully as your child reads. Listening to your child will encourage them to practice reading. Besides, this is another way to enjoy reading together.

▲If your child has trouble reading words, you can help him or her in some ways：

●Ask the child to jump over the word and read the rest, then try to guess the meaning of the missing word.

●Guide your child to use what he or she knows about letter sounds.

●Tell your child that you are proud of his or her hard working.

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar（阴历）. This day is always the first full moon in the new year. Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty（朝代）and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.

Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on trees, or along river banks on show. It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble. Today, when the   lanterns slowly rise into the air, people make wishes.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous. The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character（汉字），a famous person’s name, or a place name.

The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes. In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they’re named tangyuan. Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity, they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members.

In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic（浪漫的）. Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this:

Hundreds and thousands of times I searched for her in the crowd. Suddenly I turned, and there she stood, in the dim（昏暗的）light.

31．The traditional festival talked about in this passage is called “________” in Chinese.

A．春节 B．元宵节 C．端午节

32．When did celebrations and traditions of the Lantern Festival start from?

A．The Han Dynasty. B．The Tang Dynasty. C．The Song Dynasty.

33．What were sky lanterns first used for by Zhuge Kongming in ancient times?

A．Making wishes. B．Celebrating birthdays. C．Asking for help.

34．Which of the following is NOT true about sweet dumplings?

A．They have different tastes.

B．They are named “yuanxiao” all over the country.

C．People enjoy the process of making them.

35．The line from Xin Qiji in the passage shows the Lantern Festival was________ in old times.

A．boring B．humorous C．romantic

D

On a weekend during Spring Festival, my parents and I were sitting in a restaurant. The drinks and food were good, so when we finished, my father left a tip(小费). As we were about to open the door, the waiter caught up with us. He gave the tip back to us. My dad forgot that here is China, and tipping is not common.

However, in some countries, tipping is the norm. That’s the way it is in the US. It’s said to be good manners to tip your waiter, taxi driver, hairdresser, doorman and so on. And how much you tip depends on the service, which can really put your math skills to the test! But we usually give a tip that is 15-20% of the bill.

So why is there a strong custom of tipping? In the US, waiters have a very low income(收入). They depend on tips to pay their bills. As a US writer once wrote about her experience as a waitress, “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips."

36．What did the family think of the food at the restaurant?

A．Delicious. B．Cheap. C．Cold.

37．Where were the parents when the waiter stopped them?

A．At the table. B．At the door. C．Outside the restaurant.

38．What does the underlined word “norm” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．Idea. B．Custom. C．Bill.

39．What can be the tip for a $100 bill according to the writer?

A．$8. B．$10. C．$18.

40．The last paragraph mainly tells us __________.

A．who need tips for their life

B．how the US writer made her life

C．why tipping is popular in the US

细节理解题。根据第1段中“As we were about to open the door, the waiter caught up with us.”可知服务员追上去的时候作者一家正要开门，应该是在门旁边。故选B。

38．

词义猜测题。idea主意；custom风俗，惯例；bill账单。根据画线词所在语境“That’s the way it is in the US. It’s said to be good manners to tip your waiter, taxi driver, hairdresser, doorman and so on.”可知在美国给服务员、出租车司机、理发师、门卫等人小费是有礼貌的，结合下文“So why is there a strong custom of tipping?”可知给小费是一种习俗，结合选项可知“norm”与“custom”意思相近。故选B。

39．

计算题。根据第2段中“But we usually give a tip that is 15-20% of the bill.”可知给的小费是账单的15%到20%之间，账单是一百元的时候，C项小费占账单的18%，而其他两项均不足15%。故选C。

40．

段落大意题。根据最后一段“So why is there a strong custom of tipping?”询问为什么给小费的风俗如此盛行，及后文对问题的回答，可知最后一段主要告诉我们为什么给小费在美国盛行。故选C。

【分析】

这篇短文中作者主要记述了自己在万圣节期间的一些活动。我们在上午去农场，中午参加游行，晚上玩游戏。

41．句意：我们每一人都带着一个南瓜去学校了。短语bring sth to +地点“带着某物去某地”。根据I used the pumpkin to make a lantern 　　2　　had two triangle (三角的) eyes and a scary 　　3　　.可知，这里句子的动词used是一般过去时，所以空格处也应该用一般过去时。故答案brought.

42．句意：我用那个南瓜做成了一个有三角眼和有一张吓人的嘴的灯笼。　　2　　had two triangle (三角的) eyes and a scary 　　3　　.是定语从句，空格后是动词，所以这里缺少的是句子的主语，先行词是lantern灯笼，指物，that指物，故答案that.

43．句意：我用那个南瓜做成了一个有三角眼和有一张吓人的嘴的灯笼。根据a scary___，可知在脸部只有一个的是鼻子和嘴，所给单词是mouth，故答案mouth.

44．句意：我希望从人们那里得到一些糖果。根据After dinner, I went outside with an empty bag. 可知，带着袋子出去希望带回来一些糖果。句子动词went是一般过去时，所以空格处也应该用一般过去时。故答案hoped.

45．句意：起初我有点紧张，所以当我敲门的时候，我的心跳的很快。根据My voice was very low, and even I myself could hardly hear it.可知，作者当时是很紧张的，声音很低。故答案nervous.

46．句意：起初我有点紧张，所以当我敲门的时候，我的心跳的很快。人紧张的时候，心跳就会加速。故答案beating.

47．句意：一位女士走出来我小心地说“Trick or treat”. 空格处的词修饰前面的动词said，所以应该用副词来修饰，careful是形容词，carefully副词。故答案carefully.

48．句意：令我吃惊的是，那位女士那么的好心给了我两块糖。to one’s surprise令某人吃惊的是。故答案surprise.

49．句意：我很高兴，感谢那位女士，继续走。excite是动词“使……兴奋”，空格前有was，空格处应该用形容词，exciting令人兴奋的。这里是人感到兴奋用形容词excited，故答案excited.

50．句意：我以自己为骄傲。短语be proud of sb以某人为自豪；I是主格，空格处缺少的是宾语，作宾语的代词，因为句子的主语是I，所以空格处指我自己（myself）。故答案myself.

范文：

Dear Mike,

I would like to tell you something about the Spring Festival in China. It is our most important festival. Sometimes it comes in January, and sometimes in February. The Spring Festival this year will come in ten days. Our family will get together. Now we are busy preparing for it. I clean the house and go shopping with my mum every day. Also I will help my mom do some traditional food, such as riceballs, ricecakes, tofu and so on. On New Year’s Eve, my grandparents and my uncle’s family will have dinner with us. We will stay up late to welcome the New Year. My cousins and I will set off fireworks and watch TV.

I hope you can come to China and spend the Spring Festival with us and experience the traditional Chinese culture.
