根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Do you remember the first word that you spoke? If you can, you are unusual. Suppose what your life was like during the first few months. I'm sure that it took your most time to eat，sleep and cry. As you grew older you slept less. Your parents would spend more time playing with you and talking to you. You watched and listened. You got to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.

Then you began to cry and to make sounds you heard. And little by little you could make right sound for one thing.

Then you got to understand the secret of the language. It is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound could be as good as another. But it is not so good as a word if everybody doesn't agree on its meaning. Only when a group of people make and use the same set of sounds of things they can understand each other. Their own language comes into being.

After you knew the “secret” you learned words. Some of the words meant things such as cars, books, birds and stores. Some of the words meant movements such as come, fly and swim. And other words express things such as “I would like to make friends with you.” This is language that people can communicate by the way of language. That is to say, languages mean communication.

Trudy's class has a newspaper. The students write stories, articles and poems for it. Then one of them types their work into a computer and prints it out. The teacher puts up everything on the wall so that it looks like a large, open newspaper.
One day Trudy said to the teacher, “most newspapers have advertisements. Can we have our advertisements?
The teacher thought this was a good idea. She made Trudy the advertising manager and Trudy asked the other students to advertise in the newspaper. Here are some of the advertisements she received.

SONY WALKMAN FOR SALE: In good condition. Complete with earphones. Best offer. See Miriam.

GOOD HOME WANTED: Six lovely Persian kittens(猫崽) need good homes. They are the lovely things you've ever seen. Free to the right person. See John.

WORK WANTED: Strong boy is willing to work in a garden or do some housework. 3 hours a week. Not expensive. See Tom.

PC WANTED: In good condition. It must be at least Pentium IV(奔腾四代). See Alan.

CONCERT TICKETS: Has anyone got a spare ticket for the Raiders' concert next week? I'm eager and will pay well for a good ticket. See Sheila.

LOST: a silver ring with a blue stone in it. Reward. See Patricia.

FOUND: A silver ring with a stone in it. Reward. See Agnes.

Walking in the street in the USA or the UK, you can often hear people talking about the weather. "Lovely day, isn't it?" "It's cold, isn't it?" and so ox
Americans and English people like talking about the weather. This makes lots of Chinese puzzled（困惑）. But they talk about the weather not only because the weather there changes a lot, but also they do not like to talk with others about private things like age, family and income. Stay with strangers, people all like talking about the weather, then they can talk about other things naturally（自然）. They think if you like spring, you have a warm heart; if you like summer, you have a great will; if you like autumn, you have abundant feeling（丰富的感情）；if you like winter, you have a vast mind（广阔的胸怀）．

The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a best seller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. It is just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our life, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Use this change to make a better life.

The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students. Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two“little people”and some cheese.

The four are in a maze(迷宫)looking for The cheese. Here, cheese means some thing important in life. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people can't do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.

After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing:to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or feeling good about yourself.

My favorite sweater is now their bed.

They buy pork, beef, chicken, fruits and many other things. And they often make a special kind of food—"dumplings". It means "come together". On the day before the festival，parents buy new clothes for their children. Children also buy presents for their parents. On the Spring Festival Eve(除夕)all the family members come back to their hometown. This is a happy moment. Some sing and dance, some play cards and others get the dinner ready. When they enjoy the meal, they give each other the best wishes for the coming year. They all have a good time.

The Duanwu Festival in China, also called Dragon Boat Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month every year according to the Chinese lunar calendar. For thousands of years, this festival has been marked by people's eating Zongzi and racing dragon boats. (A) To hold the dragon boat races is in memory of Qu Yuan. He was one of the greatest poets in ancient China.

Qu Yuan was born in Zigui of Hubei Province over 2,200 years ago. Qu Yuan was an honest minister (大臣) of the State of Chu during the Warring States Period (475—22l BC) . He was upright, patriotic (爱国的) and wise. (B) 屈原想给自己的祖国带来和平并让它变得更强大。But the country was in the hands of bad officials, he could do nothing to change it. (C) He was very discouraged. At last, Qu Yuan ended his life by throwing himself into the Miluo River. It is said that people tried to save him by jumping into the river. But it was too late and all their efforts were in vain. Also, they were so sad and they threw rice into the water to feed Qu Yuan's spirit.

Now we read his poem Li Sao which is filled with deep love for his country. We can see the dragon boat races and have a kind of Chinese food named Zongzi to eat during the Dragon boat Festival.
