“It is never too late and you are never too old to start something new!” says Englishtown student Ellen Rema. Ellen began to learn English at the age of fifty, and in just a few years, she has made great progress!

五、阅读短文，回答下列问题。(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分)

There are many holidays and festivals. Dads have Father’s Day Mums have Mother’s Day But do our grandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do!

The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents.

There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.

Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.

In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休) they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.

Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts (打折) in stores and restaurants.

But Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’home and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.

46．When is the double ninth Festival?

_____________________________________________________________________

47．How many ways in which Chinese people express their respect are mentioned?

_____________________________________________________________________48．What can the young learn from older people?

_____________________________________________________________________49．Can seniors in Western countries take the trains for free?

_____________________________________________________________________50．How do Western grown children show their respect?
