• 14．According to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar（阴历），Chinese Spring Festival，also known as Chinese New Year，begins with the New Moon and ends on the Full Moon，which is from the New Year Day to the Lantern Festival.The date is changed according to the Chinese lunar calendar every year.
      The origin（起源） of the Spring Festival is hard to say clearly.However，it is believed that the word"Nian"，was first the name of a monster（怪兽）.It ate humans at the night before the beginning of a new year.People were very scared.Accidentally，people found that Nian was afraid of three things，red，fire and loud noise.So later，people would get together on New Year's Eve when Nian was about to arrive，and stick（贴） red paper cuttings，hang red lanterns and set off fireworks，in order to drive away the monster.The three special things did help.In this way，Nian never came back again.From then on，when the monster is driven away，people will always happily say to each other，"This year has passed."
      There are many traditional activities in the most important festival for Chinese，such as sticking red paper cuttings and hanging red lanterns.The most important one is having family dinner on New Year's Eve together with all the family members.No matter how difficult the trip is，no matter how far they are away from home，people will come back home at the end of this year.Home，for every Chinese，is the only destination（目的地） at this time.Of course，in the family dinner，delicious food is also an important part.Jiaozi and tangyuan are special food for New Year.People think if one can eat the jiaozi with a coin，he or she can have good luck next year.For tangyuan，people in the north of China like eating sweet ones，while salty ones in the south of China.

• 17．In a way，our moods（情绪）change with the weather.Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better.Pleasant weather can improve moods and memory.However，extremely hot weather can make us feel more tired and bored.It spoiled our moods.

     Maybe the activities connected with being outside influence our moods.Warm weather makes us happier.Warm weather is connected with the beach，fun outdoor sports，happy people，and so on.It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day.

• 18．We all have a first name and a last name，or family name.But for many of us，it doesn't stop there.（1）

  They mostly come from our real names.

  Take the name William as an example.It can be shortened to Will，and also Bill.（3）

  During the Middle Ages，people liked to change letters to make names easier to pronounce.For example，a hard consonant （辅音） like Bis clearer than soft ones like W.Bill sounds much clearer than Will.Interestingly，the people of England even called King Wiliam Ⅲ，who ruled in the 17th century， "King Billy".
     Richard has also been a popular name in England for centuries.It was commonly shortened to Richand Rick to save time.（4）

  So Rick became Dick.This nickname became so popular that it included in an idiom. "Every Tom，Dick and Harry" means everybody!
     （5）

  England has had eight king Henrys.Yet most of them preferred to be called Harry.It is a tradition that continues today.The British Prince Harry's real name is Henry.I wonder if Harry Potter's real name is Henry.
  
  A.We also have nicknames.
  B.But how does Bill come from William？
  C.The most popular name for English kings has been Henry.

九、阅读与表达，阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。

• 21．Traveling to another country is exciting and fun.But if you don't learn about local customs，your trip could become a nightmare with misunderstandings and even trouble.Here are some cultural taboos（禁忌）in certain countries to help prevent things like that.Let's take a look and fit in with local culture.
     US
     One of the traditional customs for Americans is to tip jye.ai.People from non-tipping countries may forget to tip.And they may find themselves in an embarrassing situation.Also，pay attention when you have a conversation with Americans.As a tourist in the US，it is not polite to ask people questions like "How old are you？" and "How much do you make？"
     Mexico
     In Mexico，bringing an expensive gift to someone's home is a no-no.It could be seen as a bribe（贿赂）.Something simple like flowers or a dessert are good gifts.But you should avoid taking along marigolds （金盏花） or red flowers，because in Mexican culture，they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft（巫术）.To local people，white flowers are a good gift.
     Britain
     Be careful about hand gestures when you visit Britain.If you make the V sign with your palm（手掌）facing you，the locals may get angry.That's because this gesture means the same as the middle finger.It's an insult（侮辱）.It is safe to hold off on hand gestures to prevent any misunderstandings.
     Also，Britons are known for queuing.From the supermarket to the subway，queues are very common in Britain.Usually a British person spends six months of their life in queues.If you jump the queue in Britain，you may upset them.
