Dear Mom and Dad,

The time has come: I’m graduating, and I thank you both for all your help during these 15 years. I still remember when you used to say, “You can be whatever you want” I’m so glad you are my parents, especially when I hear kids say they don’t get on well with theirs. I’m glad that you support(支持) me when I decide to do anything. You always try to help, and that’s important to me .

Dad, I remember when you first took me fishing. I loved going even though I also remember when you would get angry with me. I realize you were only trying to show me the right way. When I would cry, you would always be there to try to cheer me up. That’s what I call a good, loving, caring dad.

Sometimes you and Mom don’t agree with me, but you are there by my side in anything that I do, and that’s why I love you both so much.. Mom, I enjoy going out with you and having our happy time every Friday night, and I hope that never changes. I love telling you everything; the best part about you is that you listen. I’m glad that we do a lot together. You love to have fun, and

Dad does, too. You always give me your opinion and I listen.

Thank you for bringing me up.

Love always,

Allison

“Happy New Year!” Everyone will greet each other with these words as they meet over the next couple of weeks. But it wasn’t always January l that marked the New Year.

At least 4,000 years ago the ancient Egyptians and Bahylo-nians(古巴比伦人)marked the changing of the year. In Egypt, the year started when the Nile River(尼罗河)flooded, enriching farmers’ fields with silt(淤泥). This happened at the end of September.

The Babylonians held a festival in spring, on March 23, to kick off the next farming cycle. The Babylonian celebration lasted for l l days.

The date January l was picked by the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar as the change of the year when he established his own calendar in 4 6 BC. The month of January was named after the Roman god, Janus(雅努斯). He is pictured with two heads. 0ne head looks forward and the other back. They represent a break between the old and new. That new calendar was in time with the sun and it has been used until the present day.

Around the world, different cultures have their own traditions for welcoming the New Year. The Japanese hang straw rope across the front of their houses to keep out evil spirits and bring happiness and good luck. They also have a good laugh as the year begins to get things started on a lucky note.

In India people like to wear pink, red, purple and white flowers.  Women favor yellow, the color of spring. Hindus also leave shrines next to their beds so they see beautiful objects when they wake up.

Canadians enjoy the traditional polar bear swim. People of all ages put on their swimsuits and jump into frozen lakes.

9. Which ancient country has a great effect on the New Year we are celebrating now?

A. Egypt.                B. Rome.       C. Babylon.              D. India.

10. What’s the main idea of the last three paragraphs?

B. In different countries people celebrate the New Year in different ways.

C. Which country has the best tradition for welcoming the New Year?

D. In different countries people play different games to celebrate the New Year.

11.What can we infer from this passage?

C. Canadians like swimming in the lake to celebrate the New Year though it is very cold.

The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin. Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.

Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value. and. in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the times said recently,” At places where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came. “An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”

Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past thee years. The New York Times Company has  seen its stock (股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Comply has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education: its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.
