阅读理解。     Easter Sunday, which falls on April 4th this year, dates back nearly 2,000 years. It is celebrated by hundreds
of millions of people around the world. For my family, it is considered the greatest holiday of the year.

Christmas, came and left us a basket of candy. It"s wonderful. It is like there is a miracle every Easter morning.

feast (盛会). My mother"s family came to the US from Eastern Europe, so we would often eat many traditional
dishes. My favorite was ham and a special potato salad. We usually had 20 or more family members at the
dinner. 
    After dinner my cousins, brothers and I would go outside. While we were sleeping the night before, our
parents had hidden plastic eggs throughout the back yard. We would always have a contest to see who could
find the most eggs. The winner would get a prize. It was our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Sometimes, in summer,

阅读理解。     For some people, it"s easy to get dressed for work. Pilots and police officers, for example, don"t have
to make decisions about their work clothes. They wear uniforms to work every day.
     For many office workers, however, it is more difficult to choose clothes for work. They do not wear
uniforms to the office. Also, many organizations are changing their dress codes. They are allowing their
