• 1．As an old saying in China goes， "The days of the Sanjiu period are the coldest days." Sanjiu period，which is in Minor Cold，refers to the third nine-day period （the 19th to the 27th day）after the day of the Winter Solstice（冬至）.There are many different customs related to Minor Cold in China.
     Eating hotpot
     During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather.Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce.But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.
     Eating huangyacai
     In Tianjin，there is a custom to have huangyacai，a kind of Chinese cabbage，during Minor Cold.There are large amounts of vitamins and B in huangyacai.As huangyacai is fresh and tender，it is fit for frying，roasting and braising.
     Eating glutinous rice（糯米饭）
     According to tradition，the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold.Cantonese people add some fried preserved pork，sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice.
     Eating vegetable rice
     In ancient times，people in Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously，but as time went by，the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared.However，the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today.The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious.Among the ingredients（原料），aijiaohuang（kind of green vegetable），sausages and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing.

• 2．When was a kid，always used to wonder how in the world my father worked outside in the winter without a coat.It could be -20℃ and there'd be Dad，removing snow，or perhaps chopping some wood-his coat thrown aside-wearing a shirt，cap，and a pair of gloves.
     "Aren't you cold，Dad？" I'd ask. "No，" Dad would reply. "I'm not cold -working too hard to be cold."
     Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man，or whether he was foolish.
     One time when I was quite young，perhaps five or so，I went ice fishing with Dad.It was a bright，clear day and bitterly cold.
     After we'd been out on the ice for a little while，my feet started getting cold.
     "Daddy，my feet are cold，" I said.
     "Tell you what，" he said."Walk around.Make some circles in the snow.See how many different patterns you can make.That will get your feet warm."
     Now，I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking，"How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm？Dad must be out of mind."
     But he was my father，after all.I made circles in the snow.I made squares.Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow.I forgot about my feet being cold.
     Now，all these years later，I know，too，from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt，a cap and gloves.Because I do it，too."Aren't you cold？" my husband asked one winter day."No，" I replied."I'm not cold-working too hard to be cold. "
     I hope my husband has decided I'm both tough and smart.But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I'm foolish.
     Wherever Dad is in that great big farm in the sky- I'm sure he can't help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I'm working outside in the winter.

• 3．Christmas Day is for eating，drinking，watching bad TV-and trying to cover up your embarrassment as you realise your husband's aunt Maud has spent her pension on your present while you bought her a set of Christmas cards.
     Present-buying can be a minefield：from how much to spend，to whether to risk surprising receivers with a gift they don't want，to knowing if you should buy your neighbour you only say hello to little something.
     Here，FEMAIL has asked experts for their top tips on how to select present to ensure the only thing that's red this Christmas is Santa Claus' nose.
     "If you've just started seeing someone you don't need to spend fortune，" says dating advisor James Preece.
     "It's much better to impress them with your imagination by choosing a gift that's a little bit different.￡20 is about the right amount，with maximum of ￡50 if you can afford it." "Or you don't even need to go that far，" says relationship expert and founder of Be Love Curious.jye.ai，Helen Rice. "Plan to spend a romantic evening together or have a fun day out.Feel free to give the person you're dating something thoughtful，just don't spend a lot of money."
     "If you're in long-term relationship then your budget really reflects on your personal situation，" adds James. "You don't need to go crazy，but it's a great opportunity to show you love and appreciate them."
      "It's also best to buy few cheaper presents rather than big one.Part of the fun is the mystery and unwrapping，so it will last longer if you give them several to enjoy."
  
  （1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph in this article？

  
  A．To arrest the attention of readers
  B．To criticize greed of mean couples.
  C．To describe traditional customs of Christmas Day.
  D．To express sympathies for embarrassed senior citizens
  （2）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 imply？

  
  A．To accumulate red symbols for Christmas atmosphere.
  B．To calculate how much paint they need to decorate the house.

• 9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
      I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree.
      The last class had to take was Sociology（社会学）.The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human had been graced with.Her last project of the term was called "Smile".The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and record their reactions.I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway，so，I thought this would be a piece of cake.Soon after we were given the project，my husband，my youngest son，and I went out to McDonald's one cold March morning.It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.We were standing in line，waiting to be served，when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away，and then even my husband did.It did not move a bit.A strong feeling of fear welled up inside of me as turned to see why they had moved.As I turned around I smelled a terrible "dirty body" smell，and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.As I looked down at the short gentleman，close to me，he was "smiling".His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of hope as he searched for acceptance.
      He said "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been holding.The second man was obviously mentally disabled.I held my tears as I stood there with jye.aim.The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.He said "Coffee is all.Miss" because that was all they could afford.（If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up，they had to buy something.He just wanted to be warm.）
      Then I really felt the desire was so great that I almost reached out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.
  注意：
  1.续写词数应为150左右；
  2.请按如下格式作答。
  That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me，judging my every action.______________
  I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it.___________________
