(A) Tim正在给他的朋友Tom写一封介绍中国传统的节日"龙舟节"的信。 因粗心漏掉几个单词，请你帮他填上，完成这封信。每空一词。

Dear Tom,

    Thanks for your letter. Now {#blank#}1{#/blank#} me tell something about the Dragon Boat Festival. It is a traditional Chinese festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar.

    The festival is about a great Chinese {#blank#}2{#/blank#}- QuYuan. He is good and friendly, but he is framed(被诬陷) by the bad people in his country. He is very sad, so he jumps {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month.

    The people near the river know QuYuan a lot and they want to find his body, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they can't. Then they throw rice into the river, because they don't want the fish to eat Qu Yuan's body. They {#blank#}5{#/blank#} take dragon boats, and try to scare the fish away by playing the drums. In this way, the festival begins.

    Today, people eat zongzi and have dragon boat races to remember QuYuan on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Yours,

Tim

    Do you like music? Probably. But do you like all kinds of music? Want to say no? Well, before answering this q{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, you'd better have a good understanding of what music is. A music teacher wanted to tell his students the difference b{#blank#}2{#/blank#} music and noise (噪音). He brought many wooden blocks (大 块) of different sizes to class. The students were very s{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to see him throw the blocks at the wall. Everyone thought it was noise. He then took the same blocks and threw them at the wall a{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. This time, however, he threw them in a special order (次序). The students quickly found it was a tune (曲 子). "So," asked the teacher, "what is music?" The answer is that it's organized noise.
