D

When many people in the west think of China, the animal that they think of is the dragon. For them, the dragon is an aggressive monster that breathes fire. Many popular legends tell how dragons have killed brave knights and eaten beautiful young girls.

For Chinese people, however, the dragon is not an evil monster. It’s a cultural and spiritual symbol for prosperity and good luck. The dragon’s main task is to create harmony and bring rain. Dragons are celebrated in art and architecture, and of course the dragon dance is a very popular ritual (仪式).

China isn’t the only country to have the dragon as its symbol. Wales in the UK, has a red dragon proudly displayed on its flag. Another country in the world with a dragon on its flag is Bhutan, a tiny country between China and India.

Almost all countries in the world have an animal symbol representing their countries. This is particularly obvious during sports. The English think lions to be brave and proud animal and the English football teams have three lions on their football shirts.

Australia is famous for kangaroos, of course. The national rugby team is more commonly known as the Wallabies, a type of small kangaroo. The South African team is known as the Springboks, a type of African antelope. Likewise the New Zealanders, whether playing sports or not, are commonly known as kiwis. A kiwi is a native New Zealand bird that can’t fly.

All countries are proud of their symbols, which they feel reflect national characteristics or the beauty and variety of their natural environments. Recently, a Shanghai professor claimed that using the dragon as a national symbol could make western countries have a negative view of China. But in an Internet survey 90% of Chinese people wanted to keep the dragon.

33. In the opinion of the west, the dragon is ______.

A. a terrible animal that is not popular

B. a cultural and spiritual symbol of good luck

C. a reflection of China’s national characteristics

D. an animal that can create harmony and bring rain

34. Which of the following does NOT use the dragon as its national symbol?

A. China. B. Wales. C. Bhutan. D. India.

35. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The national rugby team from the South Africa is well known as the Wallabies.

B. The Australian team is known as Springboks, a type of kangaroo.

C. The New Zealanders are commonly known as kiwis only when playing sports.

D. The dragon is mentioned to have been used on the flag in two countries.

How to test best

It’s back to school, which means it’s back to tests, which might also means it’s back to being majorly stressed out .  36   Here are some simple ways to prepare thoroughly for tests.

Schedule study time.

Trying to do all studying the night before a test makes it impossible to master all the materials.  37   Instead, prepare for a test by scheduling study time each day for several days before.

Use your time wisely.

38   Also, make sure you have all the supplies(用具)you need to study so you don’t lose focus. While studying, be sure to make regular short breaks. Get a snack, take a bathroom break or play a quick computer game when it feels as if your brain is about to explode.

39

Studying with a parent or friends can help you understand the material better and to learn from one another. Have every person or pair take a part of the material, and come up with questions to quiz the group. Keep the group small. Have everyone take turns as the group leader, who will assign the material, and make sure that conversation stays on what is being studied.

Don’t forget last-minute preparation.

Have your sharpened pencils and other things in your bag ready the night before the test. It’s important to get a good night’s sleep and then eating a healthy breakfast the next morning.  40   Also, studying all the way up until test time can only create more anxiety. Stop studying an hour beforehand.

A. Form a study group.

B. Stay cool before the test.

C. It doesn’t have to be this way.

D. This will help you store important information.

E. This way, both your mind and body are fully prepared.

F. Before studying , clear your desk so you can concentrate.

G. It will also make you tired and stressed on the day of the test.
