Chinese New Year Painting, or nianhua in Chinese, is a kind of traditional paintings to be put up on walls and windows during the Spring Festival. Its bright colors and different subjects show the Chinese great expectation for happiness and wealth.

Chinese New Year Painting is an old handicraft. Its original(最初的)form was a picture of a door god during the Tang Dynasty. Later, more subjects such as the Kitchen God, women and babies were included. As the Chinese New Year arrives, every family puts up its New Year paintings in order to say goodbye to the past and welcome the future. One of the most famous woodblock New Year paintings comes from Yangjiabu of Shandong Province. It covers all kinds of themes and forms. They reflect people’s everyday life.

As time went by, people found New Year paintings old-fashioned. Besides, they considered the door god too scary to hang in their homes. They wanted something more artistic. So in the middle of the 1980s, the sales of New Year paintings dropped greatly.

Usually, colorful woodblock New Year paintings are produced in four steps. Firstly, artists draw a simple sketch(素描)on the paper. Secondly, they make the simple sketch on the wood board and print a few samples(样品). Thirdly, they add color to the sample. Lastly, when the preparation is finished, the printers paint color on the color board, and then put paper on the wood board and brush the paper. Then the colorful woodblock New Year paintings are ready.

He was an old man who fished alone in a boat and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him.

The old man was thin with deep wrinkles(皱纹)in the back of his neck. His hands had the deep scars(疤)from dealing with heavy fish. But none of these scars were fresh.

Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same colour as the sea and were cheerful and full of confidence.

“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed from the bank where the boat was pulled up. “I could go with you again. We’ve made some money.”

The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “No.” the old man said. “You’re with a lucky boat. Stay with them.”

Father’s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers (店主) found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers from their shops.

By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more counties are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do—buy a Father’s Day present for their fathers. They even tell a wife to buy a Father’s Day present—not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not a father yet. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.

The most important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

46.Father’s Day was started just because ________.

A.there was a Mother’s Day B.there was a Children’s Day

C.people liked their fathers very much D.fathers were more important

47.Which of the following is NOT true?

A.Very few countries have a Father’s Day.

B.Americans never care about Father’s Day,

C.Father’s Day has become important in North America.

D.Maybe Father’s Day will become popular before long.

48.In America, people have a Father’s Day to ________.

A.go shopping with their fathers B.help their fathers do something

C.show their love to their fathers D.get money from their fathers

49.On Father’s Day, shopkeepers always want ________.

A.people to buy as many presents as possible

B.children to buy presents only for their fathers

C.women to buy presents only for their husbands

D.grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present only for their grandfathers

50.It can be learned from the article that ________.

A.the writer is against Father’s Day

B.many countries have a Father’s Day

C.shopkeepers can get more money on Father’s Day than usual

D.we don’t need to have a Father’s Day

After two hours’ driving, we came to a nice place. It was at the foot of a hill and near a river, with some large trees beside it. As it was a very hot day, we parked the car under a large tree and went for a swim in the river. The water was refreshing. After having a swim we had lunch in the cool shade under the trees.

Then we went for a walk. We saw some beautiful birds and butterflies. After walking for about an hour we returned to the car. However, we couldn’t get the car started. Finally we had to push the car off the road and wait for help. Of course, the car’s breaking down spoilt(破坏)our picnic in the end!
