China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day (“Longtaitou” in Chinese) is one of them.

This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar(阴历). It stands for the start of spring and farming. This year, the day falls on Feb 27th.

The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants(传人) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons.

On the day in ancient times, people put ashes(灰)in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest (收成) in autumn.

Also people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker(细须)” noodles and dumplings called“dragon teeth”.

Today many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother’s brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

Should Shanghai bid for(申办) the Summer Olympics in 2028? Here are some people’s opinions.

Some people said, “The games will improve Shanghai’s global influence and the city is powerful and must try to become a platform(平台) for major international dialogues. Shanghai has succeeded in holding the World Expo in 2010 and the city can also hold a successful Summer Olympics.”

Others, however, are not sure whether it’s a good idea. They think the Olympics would be too expensive and the money could be better spent on other things.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics brought much prestige(声望) to the city and to China, but its cost, over $40 million, was high and the Olympic site(场地) in the center of the city is now largely unused. Could Shanghai learn from Beijing’s experience and do it better?

My answer is yes. As one American said, “A great city has to do great things.” Shanghai is a great city and is not afraid of facing challenges. Holding the 2028 Summer Olympics would prove that.

1.When did Shanghai hold the World Expo?

________________________________________________________________

2.Why don’t some people agree to bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics?

________________________________________________________________

3.How much did the 2008 Beijing Olympics cost?

4.Does the writer agree to Shanghai’s bidding?

5.Who said “A great city had to do great things.”?

Google and Toyota(丰田)have worked together to create a new smart car. It can run on the road without a driver. It drives itself.

The self-driving(自驾的)car hasn’t been on sale to the public, so we don’t know how much it costs. Another thing that most people want to know is whether it will be safe enough to run on the road.

The self-driving car uses electricity as its power, and it can’t drive very quickly—the top speed would be 25 miles per hour. It is actually controlled by a computer system in the car. The system keeps on collecting information by some video cameras inside the car. A computer receives the information and decides what to do.

“The self-driving car has only buttons (按钮) for go and stop, so it’s very easy to use.” an engineer of Google says, “It will make car accidents less and the world safer.” The self-driving car has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in California, and it has only gotten into two accidents by human mistake.

1.How much does this new kind of smart car cost?

________________________________________

2.What does self-driving car use as its power?

________________________________________

3.What is the self-driving car controlled by?

________________________________________

4.Who says “It will make car accidents less and the world safer.”?

________________________________________

5.Why did the self-driving car get into two accidents?

________________________________________

1.We don’t know. 2.Electricity./It uses electricity as its power. 3.A computer system in the car. 4.An engineer of Google does. 5.Because of human mistake. 【解析】试题分析:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌和丰田开...
