Winter Solstice （冬至） Celebrations from Around the World
　　The winter solstice， the longest night of the year， falls on 21 or 22 December in the Northern hemisphere and 20 or 21 June in the Southern. Since ancient times， people all over the world have celebrated this important astronomical occurrence in different ways. Here are some solstice traditions both new and old to help light your way to longer days.
　　Soyal
　　Soyal is the winter solstice celebration of the Hopi Indians of northern Arizona. Ceremonies and rituals include purification， dancing， and sometimes gift-giving. On the day， Hopi welcome the protective spirits from the mountains.
　　Saturnalia
　　The ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia is perhaps the most closely linked with the modern celebration of Christmas. This festival happened around the time of the winter solstice and celebrated the end of the planting season. There were games and feasts and gift-giving for several days.
　　Midwinter in Antarctica
　　Even Antarctica gets its share of solstice celebration， thanks to the researchers staying there over the long， dangerously cold season. While those of us in the Northern hemisphere are enjoying the most daylight hours， in the Southern hemisphere they are celebrating Midwinter. Festivities include special meals， films， and sometimes even handmade gifts.
　　Dong Zhi
　　Dong Zhi， the “arrival of winter”， is an important festival in China. It is a time for family to get together and celebrate the year they have had. The holiday generally falls between the 21st and 23rd of December. It is thought to have started as an end-of-harvest festival. Special foods， such as Tang Yuan and Jiaozi， are enjoyed. Friends and family members occasionally express their blessings and care to each other through gifts.
21.Which of the following festivals has something with Christmas？（　　）
A.Soyal.　　　　　　　　 B.Saturnalia.
C.Midwinter in Antarctica. D.Dong Zhi.
22.What do the festivals have in common？（　　）
A.They fall on the same day. B.They welcome protective spirits.

　　The Bedford School has held activities to celebrate the Chinese New Year before the winter vacation — this time with a unique change compared to other years. The celebration is a blend （融合） of traditional food， calligraphy， and a performance using Chinese instruments.
　　The school’s Chinese Society introduced an art form that attracted the students： Chinese calligraphy. The students were surprised at the combination （結合） of visual art and the interpretation （解讀） of literary meaning as they wrote Chinese characters with grace. And they tried their best to make what they wrote correct and beautiful. The students also enjoyed delightful Chinese New Year foods， including spring rolls， rice cake， dumplings. They ate fish-shaped sweets with great enjoyment， symbolizing abundance （富足） for the coming year as the Chinese character for “fish” can also mean “surplus”. The idea behind this is that if we manage to have something left over at the year’s end， then more can be made in the new year. Keeping with tradition， the students exchanged red envelopes filled with sweets， symbolizing good luck and prosperity （繁榮）. In Chinese culture， the colour red symbolizes good luck and good fortune for the year ahead. This is why red decorations are used during many important cultural festivals and significant events.
　　Due to China’s rocketing economy and reputation （聲譽）， Chinese New Year has become a worldwide event. The Bedford School provided a great opportunity for the students to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese tradition and culture.

　　In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world decided to hold an international festival of music， dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after World War Ⅱ.
　　It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness， Richard Burton， Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras （交響樂團）. It became a fixed event every August and now attracts about 400，000 people yearly.
　　At the same time， the Edinburgh Festival Fringe （the Fringe） appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947， believing that everyone should have the right to perform， and they did so in a public house that had been disused for years.
　　Soon， groups of students firstly from the University of Edinburgh， and later from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge， Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform plays by little-known writers in small halls.
　　Today the Fringe， once less embraced， has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of music， dance and theatre on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959， with only 19 theatre groups performing， some said it was getting too big.
　　A paid administrator （管理人員） was first employed only in 1971， and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
28.Why did some famous people hold an international festival in 1947？（　　）

C.To attract great artists from Europe. D.To bring Europe together again.
29.Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh？（　　）
A.They came to take up a challenge. B.They thought they were also famous.
C.They wanted to take part in the festival. D.They owned a public house there.
30.What does the underlined word “embraced” in Paragraph 5 mean？（　　）
A.Accepted. B.Checked.
C.Allowed. D.Controlled.
31.Why are the numbers mentioned in the last paragraph？（　　）
A.To prove different groups have come to the festival.
B.To show administrators are busy in August.
C.To prove the tickets of the festival sell well.
D.To show the festival has grown rapidly.

　　Qiang embroidery （羌繡） has a long and rich history， dating back to the Han Dynasty when it was adopted for use on clothing. It makes use of many kinds of stitches （針法）. The Qiang people adore nature， so they embroider plants and animals on clothing. Flowers， grasses， fruits， vegetables， animals and human figures are used as inspiration for the embroidery’s most common patterns. This type of embroidery features a bold use of brilliant colours. Qiang embroidery is usually practiced by women. A pair of embroidered shoes can take as long as ten days to produce， making the practice a test of both skill and patience.
　　Chen Yunzhen， from Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County in Sichuan Province， is a master of Qiang embroidery. As the local tourism industry began to develop， Chen decided to promote the embroidery as a brand to attract more tourists. Many local women， encouraged by Chen， began to earn their living through Qiang embroidery. As part of her efforts to stop the endangered technique from disappearing， Chen began visiting the surrounding regions to teach embroidery. In 2014， she set up a Qiang embroidery workshop that has since provided free training to over 20，000 people. Over 500 local embroiderers make a living through the workshop.
　　To breathe new life into Qiang embroidery， Chen has continued to keep an open mind， introducing new products like personal accessories （配飾）， notebooks and bags in addition to the traditional clothes. Chen’s two daughters returned to their hometown to help support her efforts after graduating from university. With her daughters’ youthful sense of innovation， Chen has combined metalwork and Qiang embroidery to create earrings， rings and necklaces that are popular among young consumers. She is also considering live streaming to promote her handmade products.
　　According to Chen， the Qiang people do not have a written language， so Qiang embroidery must be well preserved and developed as part of efforts to sustain （傳承） its culture. For Chen， Qiang embroidery is much more than a piece of art to appreciate. “If you allow it to convey its real value， it will improve more people’s lives and drive rural revitalization （鄉村振興），” she said.
32.What do we know about Qiang embroidery？（　　）
A.It costs a lot of money to produce.
B.It includes all kinds of elements from nature.
C.It adopts light colours with unique stitches.
D.It is the most ancient embroidery art in China.
33.What can we infer about Chen Yunzhen from Paragraph 2？（　　）
A.She takes the lead in carrying forward Qiang embroidery.
B.She trains young students in embroidery skills at a school.
C.She improves her living conditions by running a workshop.
D.She is devoted to preserving various endangered techniques.
34.What is the third paragraph mainly about？（　　）
A.The popularity of Qiang embroidery in China.
B.Chen’s efforts to innovate Qiang embroidery.
C.The difficulties of passing on Qiang embroidery.
D.Chen’s achievements in creating handmade products.
35.What does Qiang embroidery mean in Chen’s view？（　　）
A.A symbol of Qiang culture.
B.A mirror of Qiang history.
C.A great work of traditional Chinese clothes.
D.An effective tool for improving Chinese economy.

　　39.（　　）

　　“Yes， it is going to be celebrated on 19 June this year. Yesterday my friend and I were talking about it，” Mano replied.
　　“Do you have any idea how we should celebrate this day and make it memorable for Dad？” Ali asked.
　　“Hmm ... I was thinking about it too and have some ideas，” Mano answered excitedly. “What are you kids talking about？” their mum asked， entering their room.
　　“Mum， we were wondering about how to celebrate Father’s Day，” Mano said.
　　“Oh， I am surprised you kids remembered！ Well， I am thinking of cooking some favourite dishes for your father. You both should think of ways to decorate the house beautifully，” Mum said.
　　“That would be great！” said Mano and Ali together. Both of them got up smiling， thinking of hundreds of ways to celebrate Father’s Day. Mum went to the kitchen， and Mano and Ali started doing their homework. But soon Ali noticed Mano deep in thought so he asked what the matter was. “Ali， I was thinking that our parents do everything for us and in return they want nothing. Isn’t it bad that we never think about them and are always concerned about our needs？” Mano replied. “Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we don’t pay proper attention to our parents. We should listen to whatever they say properly and answer them. We must also study hard to get good grades.” Ali nodded. The next day， all three of them， Mano， Ali and their mum， got busy preparing their surprise celebration for Father’s Day. Mano drew a family picture with her crayons.Ali bought balloons and candles and began writing a poem which he planned to sing that day. In short， a lot of things were being planned and prepared.

M：Good evening， everybody. I’m George. I’m so glad that for today’s programme， we have J.K. Rowling to share with us how she became a famous writer. Let’s welcome her.
W：Hi， everybody. I’m J.K. Rowling. I’m so glad to be here. Actually， I began writing stories at the age of six and always daydreamed of becoming a writer. In 1990， when I was stuck for four hours on a train， I dreamt of a boy called “Harry Potter”. Before I started to write about Harry Potter， my husband left me and our three-month-old daughter. So I decided to start writing novels to have a new life and wrote my first Harry Potter novel. I sent my novel to a lot of publishing houses. They doubted my writing skills and rejected me. This went on until the year 1996， when the Bloomsbury publishing house agreed to help me. In 1997， Harry Potter was published， and the character soon became one of children’s most favorite characters. We had to print more copies several times. In 1998， in the month of February， my very first novel was awarded the British Book Award for “Children’s Book of the Year”.

My Unforgettable Mother’s Day Experience
Mother’s Day is regarded as a special occasion to thank mothers for their love and care.This year I experienced the most unforgettable Mother’s Day， which falls on the second Sunday in May.
On the afternoon of Mother’s Day， we set off to watch the movie featuring mutual understanding and love between Mom and kids， which we both enjoyed.At dinner， I surprised my mother with a bunch of red carnations delivered to the spot.She held it tightly as if it was the best gift ever！
Personally， offering my love and warmth to my mother， this memorable day will be deeply rooted in my heart！
第二節
　　Finally， when Father’s Day came， both Ali and Mano came home from school and started decorating the house. Ali quickly cleaned the living room and continued with the decoration， putting up the colourful balloons and presenting the birthday cake. At the same time， Mano took out the family picture. They were about to practice singing the poem when the delicious smell came from the kitchen. Surely it was Mom that prepared the big meal. French toast and chicken soup， both of which were Father’s favourite dishes， were ready. Eventually， everything was settled. Ali and Mano stood beside the door， waiting for their father eagerly. Then Dad came in.
　　Ali and Mano cried out together， “Happy Father’s Day！” Hearing the words， so glad was Dad that his face lit up. “We have a surprise for you！” added Ali， pointing at the decorations. When he saw the dinner， his eyes widened and twinkled with excitement. He couldn’t help tasting a bit of chicken soup， explaining that it was the best dish he had ever had. Mom grinned heartily and exchanged a gentle glance with Ali and Mano. What a beautiful and sweet surprise！ The room was filled with happiness.

today’s programme， we have J. K. Rowling to share with us how she
became a famous writer. Let’s welcome her.
W：Hi， everybody. I’m J. K. Rowling. I’m so glad to be here.
Actually， I began writing stories at the age of six and always daydreamed
of becoming a writer. In 1990， when I was stuck for four hours on a
train， I dreamt of a boy called “Harry Potter”. Before I started to write
about Harry Potter， my husband left me and our three-month-old
daughter. So I decided to start writing novels to have a new life and wrote
my first Harry Potter novel. I sent my novel to a lot of publishing houses.
They doubted my writing skills and rejected me. This went on until the
year 1996， when the Bloomsbury publishing house agreed to help me.
In 1997， Harry Potter was published， and the character soon became
one of children’s most favorite characters. We had to print more copies
several times. In 1998， in the month of February， my very first novel
was awarded the British Book Award for “Children’s Book of the
Year”.

Winter Solstice （冬至） Celebrations from Around the World
　　The winter solstice， the longest night of the year， falls on 21 or 22
December in the Northern hemisphere and 20 or 21 June in the Southern.
Since ancient times， people all over the world have celebrated this
important astronomical occurrence in different ways. Here are some
solstice traditions both new and old to help light your way to longer days.
　　Soyal is the winter solstice celebration of the Hopi Indians of northern
Arizona. Ceremonies and rituals include purification， dancing， and
sometimes gift-giving. On the day， Hopi welcome the protective spirits
from the mountains.
　　Saturnalia
　　The ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia is perhaps the most closely
linked with the modern celebration of Christmas. This festival happened
around the time of the winter solstice and celebrated the end of the planting
season. There were games and feasts and gift-giving for several days.
　　Soyal
　　Midwinter in Antarctica
　　Even Antarctica gets its share of solstice celebration， thanks to the
researchers staying there over the long， dangerously cold season. While
those of us in the Northern hemisphere are enjoying the most daylight
hours， in the Southern hemisphere they are celebrating Midwinter.
Festivities include special meals， films， and sometimes even handmade
gifts.
　　Dong Zhi
　　Dong Zhi， the “arrival of winter”， is an important festival in
China. It is a time for family to get together and celebrate the year they
have had. The holiday generally falls between the 21st and 23rd of
December. It is thought to have started as an end-of-harvest festival.
Special foods， such as Tang Yuan and Jiaozi， are enjoyed. Friends and
family members occasionally express their blessings and care to each other
through gifts.

　　The Bedford School has held activities to celebrate the Chinese New
Year before the winter vacation — this time with a unique change
compared to other years. The celebration is a blend （融合） of
traditional food， calligraphy， and a performance using Chinese
instruments.
　　The school’s Chinese Society introduced an art form that attracted
the students： Chinese calligraphy. The students were surprised at the
combination （結合） of visual art and the interpretation （解讀） of
literary meaning as they wrote Chinese characters with grace. And they
tried their best to make what they wrote correct and beautiful. The students
also enjoyed delightful Chinese New Year foods， including spring rolls，
rice cake， dumplings. They ate fish-shaped sweets with great
enjoyment， symbolizing abundance （富足） for the coming year as the
Chinese character for “fish” can also mean “surplus”.
The idea behind this is that if we manage to have something left over at the
year’s end， then more can be made in the new year. Keeping with
tradition， the students exchanged red envelopes filled with sweets，
symbolizing good luck and prosperity （繁榮）. In Chinese culture， the
colour red symbolizes good luck and good fortune for the year ahead. This
is why red decorations are used during many important cultural festivals
and significant events.
　　Due to China’s rocketing economy and reputation （聲譽），
Chinese New Year has become a worldwide event. The Bedford School
provided a great opportunity for the students to gain a deeper
understanding of Chinese tradition and culture.

　　In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world decided to hold
an international festival of music， dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The
idea was to reunite Europe after World War Ⅱ.
　　It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness， Richard
Burton， Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big
symphony orchestras （交響樂團）. It became a fixed event every
August and now attracts about 400，000 people yearly.
　　At the same time， the Edinburgh Festival Fringe （the Fringe）
appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned
up uninvited in 1947， believing that everyone should have the right to
perform， and they did so in a public house that had been disused for
years.
　　Soon， groups of students firstly from the University of Edinburgh，
and later from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge， Durham and
Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer
to perform plays by little-known writers in small halls.
　　Today the Fringe， once less embraced， has far outgrown the
festival with around 1，500 performances of music， dance and theatre on
every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959， with only 19
theatre groups performing， some said it was getting too big.
　　A paid administrator （管理人員） was first employed only in
1971， and today there are eight administrators working all year round and
the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200
places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50
different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

30. What does the underlined word “embraced” in Paragraph 5 mean？

　　Qiang embroidery （羌繡） has a long and rich history， dating back
to the Han Dynasty when it was adopted for use on clothing. It makes use
of many kinds of stitches （針法）. The Qiang people adore nature， so
they embroider plants and animals on clothing. Flowers， grasses，
fruits， vegetables， animals and human figures are used as inspiration for
the embroidery’s most common patterns. This type of embroidery
features a bold use of brilliant colours. Qiang embroidery is usually
practiced by women. A pair of embroidered shoes can take as long as ten
days to produce， making the practice a test of both skill and patience.
　　Chen Yunzhen， from Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County in
Sichuan Province， is a master of Qiang embroidery. As the local tourism
industry began to develop， Chen decided to promote the embroidery as a
brand to attract more tourists. Many local women， encouraged by
Chen， began to earn their living through Qiang embroidery. As part of
her efforts to stop the endangered technique from disappearing， Chen
began visiting the surrounding regions to teach embroidery. In 2014， she
set up a Qiang embroidery workshop that has since provided free training
to over 20，000 people. Over 500 local embroiderers make a living
through the workshop.
　　To breathe new life into Qiang embroidery， Chen has continued to
keep an open mind， introducing new products like personal accessories
（配飾）， notebooks and bags in addition to the traditional clothes.
Chen’s two daughters returned to their hometown to help support her
efforts after graduating from university. With her daughters’ youthful
sense of innovation， Chen has combined metalwork and Qiang
embroidery to create earrings， rings and necklaces that are popular
among young consumers. She is also considering live streaming to
promote her handmade products.
　　According to Chen， the Qiang people do not have a written
language， so Qiang embroidery must be well preserved and developed as
part of efforts to sustain （傳承） its culture. For Chen， Qiang
embroidery is much more than a piece of art to appreciate. “If you allow
it to convey its real value， it will improve more people’s lives and drive
rural revitalization （鄉村振興），” she said.

Cultural Differences of Teenagers
　　Knowing the cultural differences between yourself and others of your
age can help you understand friends who are of a different race or culture.
36.（　　）. You’ll also know if you are misunderstanding your
friend’s behaviour when it seems like he/she is being rude. The major
differences between Asian and American teenagers lie in the following
aspects：
　　Family
　　Family comes first in the Asian culture.37.（　　）. While Asian
families have a greater dependence on each other， American families
encourage their children and teenagers to be independent.
　　Friendship
　　Some Asian teens generally prefer having a small group of lifelong
friends. They are committed and loyal to their friends. Americans often
prefer a larger group of friends. There might be less commitment to
keeping friends for life because of their bigger pool of possible
friendships.
　　Working Relationships
　　If you are working on a group project with teens from China or other
Asian countries， they might focus on developing a good relationship with
you.38.（　　）. Developing relationships with their group members
might come second.
　　39. （　　）
　　In China and many other Asian countries， making direct eye contact
is considered rude and disrespectful. However， in America and some
European countries， it is not only seen as appropriate but also necessary
because it means the person is paying attention. In Asian culture people
are usually more comfortable with less personal space than Americans are.
A touch on the shoulder or an arm is common for Asians even if you
don’t know one another.
　　It’s important to keep in mind that when learning about cultural
differences， you should not generalize those differences. 40.（　　）.
All cultures value kindness and respect.
A. Eye Contact
B. Body Language
C. In this way， you’ll experience cultural differences
D. Teenagers have a strong attachment to their parents
E. With this understanding， you won’t be thought impolite
F. However， American teens tend to first focus on the task
G. The key to understanding them with your friends is to ask them for
advice

A Father’s Day Surprise
　　“Mano， do you know when Father’s Day is celebrated？” Ali
asked his sister.
　　“Yes， it is going to be celebrated on 19 June this year. Yesterday
my friend and I were talking about it，” Mano replied.
　　“Do you have any idea how we should celebrate this day and make it
memorable for Dad？” Ali asked.
　　“Hmm ... I was thinking about it too and have some ideas，”
Mano answered excitedly. “What are you kids talking about？” their
mum asked， entering their room.
　　“Mum， we were wondering about how to celebrate Father’s
Day，” Mano said.
　　“Oh， I am surprised you kids remembered！ Well， I am thinking
of cooking some favourite dishes for your father. You both should think of
ways to decorate the house beautifully，” Mum said.
　　“That would be great！” said Mano and Ali together. Both of them
got up smiling， thinking of hundreds of ways to celebrate Father’s Day.
Mum went to the kitchen， and Mano and Ali started doing their
homework. But soon Ali noticed Mano deep in thought so he asked what
the matter was. “Ali， I was thinking that our parents do everything for
us and in return they want nothing. Isn’t it bad that we never think about
them and are always concerned about our needs？” Mano replied.
“Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we don’t pay proper
attention to our parents.
We should listen to whatever they say properly and answer them. We must
also study hard to get good grades.” Ali nodded. The next day， all
three of them， Mano， Ali and their mum， got busy preparing their
surprise celebration for Father’s Day. Mano drew a family picture with
her crayons.Ali bought balloons and candles and began writing a poem
which he planned to sing that day. In short， a lot of things were being
planned and prepared.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；

　　Finally， when Father’s Day came， both Ali and Mano came

參考范文：
　　Finally， when Father’s Day came， both Ali and Mano came
home from school and started decorating the house. Ali quickly cleaned
the living room and continued with the decoration， putting up the
colourful balloons and presenting the birthday cake. At the same time，
Mano took out the family picture. They were about to practice singing the
poem when the delicious smell came from the kitchen. Surely it was Mom
that prepared the big meal. French toast and chicken soup， both of which
were Father’s favourite dishes， were ready. Eventually， everything
was settled. Ali and Mano stood beside the door， waiting for their father
eagerly. Then Dad came in.
　　Ali and Mano cried out together， “Happy Father’s Day！”
Hearing the words， so glad was Dad that his face lit up. “We have a
surprise for you！” added Ali， pointing at the decorations. When he
saw the dinner， his eyes widened and twinkled with excitement. He
couldn’t help tasting a bit of chicken soup， explaining that it was the
best dish he had ever had. Mom grinned heartily and exchanged a gentle
glance with Ali and Mano. What a beautiful and sweet surprise！ The
room was filled with happiness.
謝謝觀看！
