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 businesses found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their father from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father's Day, though some have a Children's Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother's Day, so maybe Father's Day will also become popular before too long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father's Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do — buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father's Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father's Day present — not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father's Day present for their grandfathers.
The important thing to remember about Father's Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.

 阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①An energy company in Sweden has started a project to heat up the city of Västeras using large underground caves(洞穴) full of warm water — like a huge hot water bottle under the streets.

②The energy company, Mälarenergi, will use large caves that already been there and can hold almost the same amount of water as 120 Olympic- sized swimming pools. Around 40 years ago the caves were used to hold large amounts of oil, in case it was needed for fuel(燃料). However, the caves were emptied in 1985 and they haven't been used to store anything since then.

③Mälarenergi is cleaning the caves before it fills them with water, which will be heated up to 95℃ using heat from Mälarenergi's nearby power station. The thick rock holds the heat and will keep the water warm even in winter. An instrument called a heat exchange r will warm the water and will turn the heat into another liquid(液体) when it is ready to be used. This liquid will then travel into people's heater through the local heating network, which supplies warmth for 98% of the households in Västeras. The town is home to 130,000 people.

④The system should help the company to carry on providing heat for customers, even on really cold days when lots of people turn on the heating. The company hopes it will be a useful way to warm homes, with less waste, because it will be difficult for the heat to run away from underground.

⑤ In Finland, a system like this is already in use, providing 25,000 homes with heat from underground caves. Some scientists think it could be used in the UK. About a quarter of the British population live above coal mines(煤矿) that are no longer used. Over the years, lots of these man- made caves have been covered in water and the natural warmth underground has kept the water at a temperature of around 15℃. The water could be warmed up even more by using a heat machine and sent to nearby houses to heat them. This method has already been used before in England.

阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

Hi, everybody! We' re the Phryges, the mascots of the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics(残奥会). We' re red - hats that come from a famous French painting made in 1830. In the painting, a young lady wears a red hat, called the" Phrygian cap(弗里吉亚帽) ," which stands for freedom. French people love this hat, and it shows up on their coins and stamps. Why are we mascots this time? The designers say we stand for France and the power of sports!

The Paris Olympics are full of exciting things to see! You can click the button to get more information. Here are some of the fun stuff.

Purple Running Track

The Stade de France is one of the most famous stadiums in France. It hosted the 1998FIFA World Cup. During the game, the French national soccer team won 3-0 against Brazil, lifting the World Cup trophy(奖杯) for the first time.

For the Paris Olympics, the athletics track will be purple for the first time in Olympic history. This special track can help athletes perform better and even break records. When the Games start, a lavender(薰衣草) color will fill the stadium, bringing a special French style.

Medals

The medals are round in shape with a hexagon(六角形) at the center. The hexagon of every me dal is a piece of iron from the Eiffel Tower. The leftover metal of the tower was stored secretly for years. The emblem(会徽) and the Olympic five rings are on it. Fine lines project(投射) outward around it, making each medal look like a shining sun.

New Sport

A new event called breaking will show up at the Games for the first time! This street dance stared in New York in the 1970s and is part of hip- hop culture, with cool moves like spins and flips.

The competition in Paris will have 16 males and 16 females, all born by Dec 31°,2008. They will compete in one- on- one battles to music chosen by a DJ. They will try to win each round and get the gold medal in the final.
