【題目】 Different countries have different customs in giving presents. In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for “clock” is similar to the sound of “death”. Also, don't wrap(用……包裹) a present in white, black or blue paper, because they are the colours for funerals(葬禮). Don't give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship.

In Russia if you give flowers as presents, you have to give an odd number of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.

In Germany if you are invited to dinner, flowers are good presents to take to your dinner hostess (女主人), but don't take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don't take thirteen of anything because it's an unlucky number. Don't take an even number of anything, either. Don't wrap your presents in white, brown, or black paper.

【題目】 Last summer, I went to a river trek (徒步旅行) with some British friends. The river was not wide, but it was running fast. The rocks in the river were so slippery (滑的) that it was hard for us to walk. We walked carefully, but our shoes and trousers were still wet. I was getting very cold and tired. I wanted to stop, but when I saw other kids moving so fast, I felt sorry. This encouraged me to keep following them, even though I was far behind. It was even more difficult during the last part of the walk. I became so tired that I lost my footing and fell several times. But with the help of my friends, I got to my feet and kept going each time I fell.

Finally, we arrived by a waterfall. Everybody jumped into the water from a high rock. When it was my turn, I was afraid and tried to hide around a corner. My friends noticed this and encouraged me, “Come on, Kevin! You can do this!” With my eyes closed, I jumped into the water.

Although I’m not as strong as my British friends, I completed our trek. This experience made me realize that perseverance (堅(jiān)持不懈) was, is, and will always be important to everyone in life.

【題目】 It is not always easy to discover yourself. From a young age, I had a strong sense of who I would become—but an accident changed everything.

To me, skating was more important than anything else in the world. Nothing else filled my heart with so much happiness. I spent 24 hours a week developing my skills. I had no social life or interests other than skating. But I got first place in nearly every competition.

Unluckily, during one competition last year, I fell and was badly hurt. The doctor told me that I couldn’t skate any more. The pain in my back was hard to bear and even basic daily tasks became difficult. My passion (激情) had been taken away. I lost heart and had no idea what I would become. After eight months of suffering, something had to change. Instead of sitting around and wasting my days, I began to work with local community service projects. By volunteering as a swimming teacher for kids, I got an idea of who I wanted to become. After a few months, I found a new interest. Little by little, I stepped out of the pain and rebuilt my confidence.

Sometimes, challenges (挑戰(zhàn)) in life will get in our way. We can choose to stay behind or try to get past these challenges. My accident was a challenge that failed to stop me from reaching success.

【題目】 Did ancient Chinese people have weekends or public holidays? The weekly calendar (日歷) was invented in the West. In ancient China, there were no such things as weekends. But people did take days off in the past.

For example, during the Han Dynasty, officials (官員) took one day off every five days. When it came to Tang Dynasty, officials had to work for ten days before they could rest for one day. But this was still reasonable, because officials at the time shared their work together. They also enjoyed public holidays for Chinese New Year and the inter solstice (冬至), with both holidays lasting for seven days.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, officials had to work all year long, except for public holidays, including a full month at the end of the year to celebrate Spring Festival. They also took seven days off on the king’s birthday. On the Mid-Autumn and Dragon Boat festivals, they could rest for one day as well.

As people like businessmen and farmers, they usually worked most of the year. But even the poor workers would take a few days off during Spring Festival. There were also days on which people of all walks of life offered food to the spirits. For example, farmers would give offerings to tudigong twice a year. People usually took one day off for this.
