     holiday is the most important to Chinese both home and abroad.

    Every new year, people get together and have a lot of activities. They sing songs, dance to music, share
    photos with friends or enjoy films in a cinema.
    United States
         Spring Festival has become a key time for Chinese living or working in the US. They join in a large
    evening party to welcome the traditional new year. It is a good chance for people to build a circle of
    friends and feel that they are not alone because they share the same culture and values.
    Australia
         The Chinese new year will be welcomed with three weeks of celebrations across Australia. Many
    people come to Sydney's Chinatown or Little Bourke in Melbourne. They enjoy fireworks,  lion dances,

    understanding between Chinese and non-Chinese.

         It may seem easy to say that plants and animals are different. Any child can tell the difference between
     a tree and a dog. But those differences are far deeper than just what they look like. The cells (细胞) that
      plants are made up of are different. In other words, the cell wail of plants has something special.
        First of all, it's important to find that not all plant cells have a cell wall. Besides, there are many
     differences of a cell wall based on the kinds of plant. The following is meant to be what a plant cell wall is
     like.
         The cell wall of a plant is on the outside of the cell membrane (膜). It is usually hard and cannot be
     bent easily, but the degree of flexibility (韧性) of the cell wall is different. It is based on the special use that
      the cell has in keeping the plant alive. Cells that make up the trunk of a tree are clearly less flexible than
      cells on a leaf.
         Cell wails act in many ways. They serve to protect the plant. They provide support, as well as help in
     the movement of chemicals and wastes into and out of the cell.  More importantly, they control the water
      that goes in and out.  Plants must have good water controlling systems (系统), allowing them to keep
      water during dry seasons, and get rid of unnecessary water. Plants can't walk around to find water, so
     being able to control water is very important.
         So there you have it , what a plant cell wall is. Of course, there are many other things that are not talked
      about here. Knowing more about plant cell wails requires further study and research.
    1. The best title of the passage can be _____.
        A. Different Plants                  
        B. Different Animals
        C. The Plant Cell Wall              
        D. The Uses of Cells
    2. From the first two paragraphs we can find that _____.
        A. all plants have a ceil wall
        B. plant cells and animal cells are the same
        C. different kinds of plant have different cell walls
        D. there are no differences between the cells of a tree and a dog
    3. The underlined word "bent" in the passage is the closest in meaning to _____.
        A. shape-changed  
        B. water-kept    
        C. sun-burnt      
        D. skin-broken
    4. Cells in the trunk of a tree are _____ those on a leaf.
        A. as flexible as                      
        B. not so flexible as
       C. more important than                
        D. less important than
    5. What is the most important use of a plant cell wall?
        A. To protect the plant.                
        B. To provide support.
        C. To move chemicals and wastes.      
        D. To control the water.

        Siri on iPhone 4S is like a person assistant. It lets you use your voice to do things on the iPhone. You
      can just talk to Siri as you talk to a person. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and
     even talks back.
        Say something like "Tell my wife I'm running late." "Remind me to call the doctor. " "Any fast food
      restaurants around here?" Siri does what you say, finds the information you need, then answers you. It's
      like you're having a conversation with your assistant.
       Siri not only understands what you say,  but it's also smart enough to know what you mean. So when
     you ask, "Any fast food restaurants around here?" Siri will reply, "I found a number of restaurants near
     you." Then you can say, "Hmm. How about hambergers?" Siri remembers that you just asked about
     restaurants for something to eat, so it will look for KFC restaurants in the neighborhood. And Sift is
      active, so it will question you until it finds what you're looking for.
         When you want to do something, just ask Siri to help you do it. Siri uses almost all the built-in apps on
      iPhone 4S. It writes texts and sends email messages. It searches the web for anything you need to know.
      It plays the songs you want to hear. It gives you directions and shows you around. It makes calls, plans
      meetings, helps you remember and wakes you up. In fact, ask Siri what it can do-it even speaks for itself.
        Sift is easy to use and does so much. You'll keep finding more and more ways to use it.
    1. Siri is like _____ and lets you _____ to do things on the iPhone.
    2. When you _____ like "Tell my wife I'm running late. ", Siri will _____ for you.
    3. Siri is _____ to know what you mean and it will _____ until you get what you want.
    4. If  you are lost somewhere, you can say to Siri, " _____ ". Then Siri will _____  and show you around.
