The lanterns help to show the way to the ghosts.People in Guandong, however, have the festival on the 14th day of the 7th month.At night, they put the meal, ghost money and candles in front of their doors to make the ghosts happy so that ghosts wouldn’t bring bad luck to people.The Zhongyuan Festival is a traditional Chinese festival to remember the ancestors（先祖）.

Do you know how running helps to clean up the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win (双赢) result.① Plogging, a new trend (趋势) to exercise, began in Sweden (瑞典). The name “plogging” comes from two Swedish words. One is “ploeka”, which means “to pick up”, and the other word is “jogging”, which means “to run slowly”.① A Swedish man called Erik started the movement. He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead, he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time. To his surprise, more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.① Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Lydia runs four or five times a week. While running, she picks up rubbish along the way. “It just takes a moment to stop and pick something up off the ground. But it makes a big difference to my neighborhood. Now my husband also joins me.” Lydia says proudly. “It doesn’t matter how much rubbish I pick up. It’s a good way to save our earth.”① Another reason for plogging’s popularity is that plogging burns more calories (卡路里). According to scientists, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories. While jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.① Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up! It’s time for us to take an action together. So ready? Let’s plog tomorrow!37．The writer starts paragraph 1 by ________.A．giving examples B．asking questions C．telling storiesD．giving numbers38．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．An American man started the movement plogging.B．Plogging for 10 minutes burns about 48 calories.C．It’s not necessary to pick rubbish while plogging.D．People like plogging only because it’s good for health.39．We can infer from this passage that ________.A．plogging is a new way to exercise and clean up the earthB．plogging burns more calories than runningC．more people may join in plogging to save the earthD．plogging is popular around the world40．If we put the passage into four parts, which of the following is the best?A．①/①/①①①/①B．①/①①/①①/①C．①①①/①/①/①D．①①/①/①①/①四、补全对话7选5阅读下面对话，从文后的7个选项中选择5个恰当的选项完成此对话。
