     Hanukkah (光明节) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of
Kislev (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights.
The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an
emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people
won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only enough holy oil to keep the sacred
light burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning
for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.
     At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine
candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light
another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people
go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil.
Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards,
and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes,
called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.

阅读理解。     Teachers have been honored in Indian culture for centuries. In the past, the teacher-student
relationship in India was almost divine (神圣的). If a person wanted to become the student of a teacher,
he or she had to live with the teacher, serve the teacher, engage in activities and also acquire knowledge.
Even kings were expected to follow these rules.
     It was the second president of independent India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who raised the
Indian devotion to teachers to a new level. During his tenure (任期) as president he was once
approached by some citizens who wanted to celebrate his birthday. However, Dr. Radhakrishnan
declared that he would rather have his birthday observed as Teachers" Day. Since then, September 5h of
each year has been celebrated as Teachers" Day throughout India.
     All educational institutions honor teachers on September 5th in various ways. In some cases, senior
students give teachers a day of rest by taking charge of classes. Some schools have ceremonies to honor
exceptional teachers. Students also organize cultural events and recognize the efforts of teachers by
giving gifts, cards and flowers. Articles on teachers and their achievements feature in print and on the
web.
     In addition to these efforts, the government of India has set up the National Awards for teachers, to
be distributed (分配) on September 5th every year. Teachers selected for the Best Teacher Award
received a medal, a certificate and 25,000 Indian rupees as award money. Several private organizations
and institutions have also come up with such awards to recognize the contribution of teachers to bringing
up future leaders of the country.
     Thousands of teachers are employed in Indian educational institutions. However, not every teacher
can qualify for the Teachers" Day awards. But the biggest reward that any teacher can get is the
recognition of students. And Teachers" Day is certainly that time in every year when pupils honor
teachers and let them know that their hard work and commitment is valued.1. What is the text mainly about?A. The social status of teachers in India.
B. The origin of Teachers" Day in India.
C. Teachers and education in India.
D. Teachers" Day in India. 2. What do we know about Teachers" Day in India?A. It is nationwide.
B. It has been celebrated in India for centuries.
C. It is related to a leader of ancient India.
D. It is a holiday for everyone in India except teachers. 3. People in India celebrate Teachers" Day in all of the following ways EXCEPT by ______.A. giving presents to teachers
B. holding ceremonies for teachers
C. publishing articles on students
D. giving teachers a day of rest 4. What is the biggest reward that teachers in India can get, in the author"s opinion?A. All kinds of awards.
B. Gifts given by students.
C. The recognition of students.
D. Ceremonies held by schools.

阅读理解。     The Chinese word" Shanzhai" means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name
for fakes(假货) after" Shanzhai cell phones " produced by small workshops in southern China, became
popular in the mainland market over the past few years.
     Besides" Shanzhai" electronic products, there are "Shanzhai" movies,  "Shanzhai" stars and even a
"Shanzhai" Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on
Chinese Lunar New Year"s Eve.
     "Shanzhai" has become a culture of its own, symbolizing anything that imitates something famous.
     The phenomenon has caused a public debate over whether it is healthy or sick being a copycat.
In southwestern China"s Chongqing Municipality, a "Shanzhai"-version"Bird"s Nest" woven by farmers
with bamboo attracts wide attention and the "Shanzhai"-version "Water Cube" is popular with tourists
too. Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing.
Xie Xizhang, a literature critic, said that taking the "Shanzhai" Gala as an example, when the traditional
CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the "Shanzhai" version appears naturally
to attract people.
     "In spite of its poor techniques and operation, "Shanzhai" culture meets the psychological demands of
common people and could be a comfort to their minds," Xie said.
     Tian Huiqun, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said that "Shanzhai" culture never copies
classic things, only trendy products. In that sense, it"s like a computer virus, multiplying without meaning.
     Though controversial, "Shanzhai" culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon.
     "To the mainstream culture, the rise of "Shanzhai" culture is a challenge as well as a motivation," said
Xie.
     Tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to
choose. 1. The Chinese word "Shanzhai" may have its origin in          .A. fake cell phones
B. electronic products
C. Spring Festival Gala
D. Olympics buildings 2. The underlined word" imitates" is closest in meaning to         .A. steals
B. copies
C. advertises
D. cheats 3. According to the passage,"Shanzhai" culture refers to          .A .the action that a person imitates famous people
B. anything that imitates something famous
C. those similar names to famous brands
D. products with poor techniques and quality 4. We can infer that the mainstream culture          .A. will be held back by "Shanzhai" culture
B. will sooner or later be replaced by "Shanzhai" culture
C. may develop faster because of the challenging of "Shanzhai" culture
D. thinks nothing of the challenge of" Shanzhai" culture 5. The passage mainly tells us that ________. A. "Shanzhai" culture will definitely fade out
B. "Shanzhai" culture-the mountain village culture
C. "Shanzhai" culture-the mainstream culture
D. "Shanzhai" culture takes on life of its own
