In Britain, Australia. Canada and a few other English-speaking countries people don’t stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over. They also celebrate the following day, known as Boxing Day. It is a popular day for giving additional (另外的) gifts. It has been celebrated for so long, but nobody exact knows how it started.

Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages. In those days, in some special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor. The day after Christmas the boxes were opened, and the money was counted. Then the money went to helping the poor in the area.

Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when some rich people had Christmas feasts (盛宴). They offered lots of food to their guests. Because many servants (仆人) were needed to make and serve the food, they could not celebrate Christmas with their families. To thank them, the rich people would put food into boxes for their servants to take home.

Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries. Some people spend the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating (捐赠) them to the poor. Many people are active in helping service organizations (组织) like the Red Cross.

No matter how Boxing Day got its start, it’s a wonderful time to donate things or give small gifts to people. By doing so, you can make someone’s holiday much happier.

(    ) 11. From the first paragraph we know that Boxing Day ______.

A. has a long history  B. is before Christmas Day

C. is celebrated in only three countries  D. is the day for buying gifts

(    ) 12. Today Boxing Day is a time ______.

A. to thank the rich people  B. to make the guests happy

C. to give people help or small gifts  D. to remember the old days

B

When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she stated learning to make shadow puppets (皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.

Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather (皮) or paper, accompanied by music and singing, Invented during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), it tells us about folklore (民间传说) and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.

Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua county, Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.

Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets, including washing the leather, carving (雕刻), and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part.

“We have a special carving technique(技巧)-moving the leather under the knife,” Wang said. “You have to hold the knife still in your right hand and only move the leather in your left hand. “ It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick (砖块) to strengthen her left hand while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complicated (复杂的)steps make it hard to hand down the folk art,” she said.

But Wang has found a way to do so. In 2016, she made shadow puppets based on the cartoon series Huyao Xiaohongniang (《狐妖小红娘》) and gave a livestreaming (直播) performance. She used colors like blue and purple that are rarely seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance more vivid.

(    ) 14. Which step is the most difficult to make the puppets?

A. Painting.  B. Carving.  C. Shaping.  D. Washing.

(    ) 15. What can we know about Shadow puppetry from Paragraph 2?

A. The process of making a shadow puppet.

B. Traditional art needs modern technology.

C. General introduction of shadow puppetry.

D. Wang’s stories cf learning shadow puppetry.

(    ) 16. How is shadow puppetry developing now?

A. The process makes it hard to hand down the folk art.

B. Middle schools should pay more attention to the form of theater.

C. Adding more sticks to the puppets makes the performance more vivid.

D. It’s a good way to pass down culture and customs over thousands of years.

The Double Ninth Festival

The Double Ninth Festival is on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It is a very old festival and has a history of more than 1,700 years. As an important festival in ancient China, people celebrated the Double Ninth Festival by doing many kinds of activities, such as climbing a mountain, drinking tea and wine made from chrysanthemums (菊花), wearing cornel (茱萸) and eating double ninth cakes.

Climbing a mountain is a main activity on the Double Ninth Festival. Ancient people thought climbing a mountain on this day could help them avoid disasters. It is also traditional to wear cornel and drink tea and wine made from chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival. People believe that they can avoid disease by doing this. Cornel is a kind of plant. Its fruits can be eaten and its leaves can be made into medicine. Chrysanthemums come out in September. They are called “flowers of long life”.

One can no longer see anyone wearing cornel on the Double Ninth Festival now, but many people still climb a mountain to enjoy chrysanthemums and the beauty of autumn. A few years ago, new life was added into this old festival. We make this day the Senior’s Day. It is a special holiday for Chinese people to show love and respect for their elders. People hold many kinds of activities to respect the old people, wishing them good health and a long life.
