    In Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other English-speaking countries, people don't stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over. They also celebrate the following day, known as Boxing Day. It is a popular day for giving additional (另外的) gifts. It has been celebrated for so long, but nobody exactly knows how it started.

    Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages. In those days: in some special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor.

    The day after Christmas the boxes were opened and the money was counted. Then the money went to helping the poor in the area.

    Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when some rich people had Christmas feasts (盛宴). They offered lots of food to their guests. Because many servants (仆人)were needed to make and serve the food, they could not celebrate Christmas with their families. To thank them, the rich people would put food into boxes for their servants to take home.

    Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries. Some people spend the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating (捐赠) them to the poor. Many people are active in helping service organizations(组织)like the Red Cross.

    No matter how Boxing Day got its start, it's a wonderful time to donate things or give small gifts to people. By doing so, you cam make someone's holiday much happier.

On my first round-the-world trip in 2006, I planned everything out in advance. I knew where I was going, staying for how long, and how I would get there. And then half-way through I ditched the plan and went with the flow (随大流) . Over the years, how I plan my travel has changed. Now, I'm a last-minute planner and seldom travel with any plan. 

Traveling without a plan gives you great flexibility (灵活性). Since nothing is booked far in advance, you can turn to something different when you change your mind or something better comes along. I changed my plans to meet a friend on an island in Thailand and stayed for a month. I wouldn't have had that experience if I had kept to my planned schedule. 

"    ★    " — they overplan their trips. Their whole journey is scheduled. Two days here, three days there. I understand why people do that. When time is short, you want to see as much as possible. You don't want to waste a single second. 

Actually, it is better to slow down your pace. Spending more time in one place allows you to get a better feel for the rhythm of life. You can visit at a more relaxed pace, see more than just the attractions, and open up your schedule to the happy accidents of travel. 

When I first made my travel plan, I tried to include everything in it. Then I realized it was unrealistic, and reviewed my plan. I came up with a list of one or two things I want to see each day and spaced everything out. It's an important lesson to learn. I think the best trip plan is to work out the general path you want to take, book the first few nights of your trip, and let your travels unfold from there. This way you are never locked into a certain place if your feelings change. 

 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项

①Many years ago people took tests to show how much they knew. Today students still take many different kinds of tests.

②Throughout history, tests have been a kind of measuring tool (测量工具). They measure how students are learning, as well as how teachers are teaching. Teachers can use tests as a way to see if their teaching are working. If students are doing poorly on tests, teachers can change how they' re teaching to help students understand things more clearly.

③Many teachers understand that tests can actually help students learn. Testing has been believed to help students remember what they have been taught. Tests serve as a way for students to find gaps in their understanding. Once they fill those gaps, they can do better on the next test.

④However, testing isn't always a good thing. For some students, this causes(造成)a lot of worries because they want to do well. Tests can make some students lose sleep because they' re studying for a long time or because they' re afraid of doing poorly.

⑤Besides, some people think that tests are not always a good way to measure how smart students are. For example, if Lucy is sick the day of a test, she might do poorly on the test when she is actually smart. Tests only look at one day in her life, but not how she does in school over a long time.

⑥Are you for or against tests? Should students have to take tests?

 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Drinking a cup of milk tea with friends? That's "city". Visiting the Great Wall of China? Very "city". Riding a bike down Shanghai's Anfu Road? Quite "city".

If you don't get it, let me explain it to you. The popularity of "City bu city?" has risen on the Internet these days. You can use it to describe whether someone, or something is urban (都市的) and modern or not.

"City bu city?" was first used by American blogger Paul Mike Ashton. He has lived in Shanghai with his sister for years. His name on the Internet is "Bao Bao Xiong". He likes sharing travel experiences in China on Douyin and Xiaohongshu. Ashton became popular after he shared a video of him asking his sister "City bu city?" on the Great Wall.

The word "city" itself has now taken on a new meaning as an adjective (形容词). Ashton himself says that it describes something that happens in the city, but it can also be "something that gives you a great love for life".

In recent years, a large number of foreign tourists like Ashton have been sharing their experiences of visiting China online. Topics about travelling in China are becoming more and more popular. Now people around the world can learn more about different places of modern China and Chinese way of life. And all of these are shown in a more emotional (感性的), friendly and natural way.
