I can already hear firecrackers in the distance as the New Year begins. It is time to celebrate 2005.
This is a brand new year for those of us who follow the Western calendar. Of course, according to the
lunar calendar, the firecrackers will not sound for the New Year until February when the year of Rooster
(公鸡) officially begins. I feel lucky to live in Shanghai because I can celebrate two different New Years.
I am looking forward to learning about the traditions of Chinese New Year.
At home in Canada, everyone in my family writes down their predictions (预言) for the next year.
Then we hide them away for an entire (完整的) year (no peeking!) and read them on New Year"s Day.
I didn"t predict that I would be living in Shanghai, China this year and if I had, I would never have predicted
that I would be enjoying life here so much. (Better luck next year with my predictions!)
I think I"ll play it safe this year and predict that many new buildings will go up in my neighbourhood in
Gubei! That is a prediction that is sure to come true, here in the fastest-growing city in the world! Another
tradition at the New Year is writing down all those resolutions (决心). So here I go! I have some plans for
the New Year that I intended (打算) to keep. For example, I plan to work much harder on learning Chinese.
It is not an easy language, but living here gives me a once in a lifetime opportunity to really learn it. So, I
plan to apply myself, yes I do.
I will use a new Chinese phrase every day when I am out in the city. My second resolution is to get rid
of the habit of procrastination (拖延)! I am one of those people who always leave things to the last minute
and that has got to change! No more staying up late to finish my homework at the last minute.
Let"s not call it procrastination in China, but a month"s grace period on New Year" resolutions. Whatever,
Happy 2005!
B. in February of the western calendar
C. on the Chinese New Year"s Eve
D. on the first day of the Western calendar

核心考点
举一反三
happiness 2 to the person who succeeds 3 to his family members or friends.
It is said that success can be achieved (完成) through diligence (勤奋的). So according to this we
can say, "where there"s a 4 , there"s a 5 ." Although 6 is always difficult to start, we can also
be successful if we don"t 7 .
Devotion is also important 8 success. Devotion means, "Put your heart 9 the things you do."
The gardeners" work is an example. They take 10 of the fruit trees every day-water them, cut the
branches, so that they can bear (结出) delicious fruit. So in the same way success can only be achieved
through hard work.
money is spent, we can make it again. However, 2 time is gone, it"ll never 3 . That is 4 we
mustn"t waste time.
It goes without saying that the 5 is usually limited (有限的). Even a second is very important,
we should make full use of our time to do 6 useful.
But it is a pity that there are lots of people who do not know the importance of time. They spend their
limited time smoking, drinking, and 7 . They do not know that wasting time means wasting part of
their own 8 .
In a word, we should save time. We shouldn"t 9 today"s work for tomorrow.
Remember we have no time to 10 .
Bad habits don"t come suddenly. They come little by little without your knowing their danger. Schoolboys
first pick up little bad habits from schoolmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn to
smoke. If they see their friends gambling (赌博), they want to gamble. When they get older, the habits
become stronger and stronger so that they can no longer get rid of them. From copying, they learn to steal.
From gambling, they learn to cheat. At last, they become distrusted (不信任) by everybody. How necessary
(需要) it is that we get rid of the bad habits in the beginning!
B．bad habits; good one
C．bad habits; good ones
D．good habits; bad one

| "Climbing Mount Qomolangma is a kind of discovery," said a reporter of CCTV. He was sent to join the climbing team for broadcasting (播放) this TV program. The climbers climbed Mount Qomolangma from May 18 to 24. CCTV also sent a team to join in this most dangerous and exciting sport. They called it "Standing at the World"s Third Pole (极) in 2003". It is just 50 years since the first climbers got to the top of Mount Qomolangma. In 2003, nearly 600 people from all over the world will try to reach the highest mountain in the world. As we know, Mount Qomolangma is famous for its height-8,848 meters-in the world, so it has attracted thousands of people to climb. On May 25th, 1953, Edmund Hillary from New Zealand, and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal finally reached the top of Mount Qomolangma. This most dangerous sport in the world brings the greatest challenge and the most exciting and happiest moment to human beings because the climbers have to face the terrible cold and avalanches (雪崩), and some other difficulties. The higher they climb, the more difficulties they will meet. On the way to the top they may lose their lives at any time. It is reported that 175 climbers had to live there for ever. During the past 50 years, more than 10,000 men and women tried to get to the top, but only 1,200 have made their dreams come true. We Chinese climbers first showed our national flag to the world on the top of the mountain in 1960. Once someone asked why the pioneers never stopped trying to reach the top. "I don"t think climbing the highest mountain only means danger or death. It is really a chance to challenge. You can really understand the love of nature and the true meaning of life," a reporter of CCTV answered. |
