         Kataria is the founder of the worldwide laughter movement. The celebration of world Laughter Day is

         Lunar New Year has long been the most important cultural celebration on the Chinese calendar. And
    even for those who scoff (嘲笑) at superstition (迷信), Chinese New Year customs can  bring a welcome sense of renewal to a seemingly endless winter.
    1. Clean Your House
         The Chinese make sure to sweep every corner of a room to rid their homes ghosts and bad luck
    associated with the old year. If negative spirits don't hide in your living room, chances are a layer of dust
    and grime (污垢) from dry heat and slushy (有泥有雪的) boots does. Get a jump on your spring
    cleaning while the weather outside's still frightful enough to keep you stuck indoors
    2. Get a Mini Makeover
         In China, it's customary to get a haircut and new clothes for the new year. The idea is that with a new
    look, bad spirits won't recognize a person and follow them into the new year.
    3. Make Apologies
         Carrying grudges (怨恨) into the new year is a no-go according to Chinese tradition, so differences
    with family, friends, and associates must be settled before New Year's Eve. If your shoulders are
    sagging(向下凹,下陷) from the weight of a grudge or two, take the initiative to resolve them.
    4. Pay Off Your Debts
         Like grudges, old debts are a bad omen (预兆) for a new year. No matter which calendar you follow,
    there's no time like the present to settle any outstanding accounts and repay loans from friends and
    relatives.
    5. Spend Time With Your Family
         In China, offices and stores close down for Chinese New Year and people spend days travelling to
    their hometowns to reconnect with family, feast, and simply enjoy the company of their loved ones.
    1. According to the passage, Chinese New Year customs          .
    A. are foolish acts associated with superstition      
    B. bring happiness to Chinese people
    C. imply the ending of the winter                
    D. are neglected by many people
    2. Traditionally, the purpose of cleaning the house is to          .
    A. get rid of evils and misfortune                
    B. find out the bad spirits in the rooms
    C. clean up all the dust and grime                
    D. keep away the bad weather
    3. Customarily, what may happen if you began a new year without a new look? 
    A. Your friends will not recognize you.            
    B. You will be looked down upon.
    C. You will be seen as lack of good luck.          
    D. You will be followed by a bad guy.
    4. According to the passage, which of the following is also Chinese tradition?
    A. Exchanging gifts.    
    B. Have family union.    
    C. Share debts.    
    D. Set goals.

         Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.
         Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how
    the grizzly(灰白的) bear and mountain lion can cross the road.
       "Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads," the Federal Highway Administration reports. In
    fact , only about 80 ocelots(豹猫), an endangered wild cat, exist in the U. S. today. The main reason?
    Road kill.
       "Eco-passages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over
    and under roads. "These eco-passages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.
       But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona
    University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway. This
    showed that the lions used the passage.
       Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and
    around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders(火蜥蜴)and
    grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses(地下通道,下穿交叉道).
       The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might
    see an animal overpass(越过,通过)!
    1. The writer uses the example of "ocelots" to show that __________.
    A. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents
    B. the driving conditions have improved greatly
    C. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work
    D. wild animals have become more dangerous
    2. From the news story, we know an eco-passage is __________.
    A. an underground path for cars            
    B. a fence(栅栏) built for the safety of the area
    C. a passage(通道) for animals to cross the road  
    D. a bridge for animals to get over a river
    3. The underlined(划线) part "animals seem to be catching on"  means __________.
    A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the road
    B. animals begin to learn to use eco-passages
    C. animals are crossing the road in groups
    D. animals are becoming safer
    4. This passage is written to __________.
    A. protect the endangered animals
    B. call on drivers to be careful when seeing animals on roads
    C. introduce a new way to help protect animals
    D. tell us the main reason for the killing of animals in the US

         There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have
    generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified
    and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns
    a new language-all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
         By contrast(对照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a
    journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but
    the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and
    unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to
    experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
         In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the
    unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first. How we see ourselves as we try a
    new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so,
    we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and
    indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow
    to adapt(适应) to changes or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are
    likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
          These feelings of insecurity(不安全) and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are
    to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped
    inside a shell of our own making.
