AThe tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.In China, on a child’s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child will choose later in life.For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go tothe temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.Eighteen is the traditional ‘coming of age’— the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote(选举), join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!41. In many countries you can ________when you reach the age of eighteen.A. join the armyB. have a keyC. have a special ceremonyD. have special sweets42. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago.B. Some birthday traditions are only found in certain countries.C. You become the owner of your house at the age of fifteen.D. In many countries you have the right to vote at the age of eighteen.43. Which is the best title of this passage?A. Birthday Traditions around the WorldB. Chinese Birthday CelebrationsC. Japanese Special CelebrationD. The Drinking Age in Many CountriesBWhere in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California.The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets（布景）in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.A visit to Universal Studios brings backmemories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories.Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be.Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes.But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.Though it is soap opera that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.44. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is ___________.A. a very large parkB. abusy London streetC. a famous movie companyD.an old Hollywood movie45. Which of the following seems to be a threat （威胁）to Hollywood？A. The use of modern cameras and otherequipmentB. The interest of middle-aged film starsC. The making of TV series like DynastyD. The expensively made copies of scenes46. What can we learn about “soap operas” from the passage?A. They are teenagers’ favorites.B. They are much more expensive.C. They are less interesting.D. They are cheaper and easier to make.47. The passage mainly tells us ______________.A. something about the film industry in theUSAB. the importance of soap operas inHollywoodC. the good old days of HollywoodD. the film business in CaliforniaCThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher--- Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was sorry of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水)。
