  SongKran----Thailand
     Dates：13th-15th，April
     In Thailand，people celebrate a festival called SongKran，when people head out to the streets with water guns to spray everyone who walks past.
  Naghol----Vanuatu
     Dates：Every Saturday from April to May
     Every year，villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams，an important part in the people's diet in Vanuatu.The festival is most famous for its "land diving ceremony".During the ceremony men and boys dive to the ground from high wooden towers with only two thin vines（藤） attached to their ankles.
  Cherry Blossom Viewing----Japan
     Dates：The cherry blossom season is different from year to year depending on the weather forecast.
     The festival is well-known.Japanese celebrate the days when the flowers finally blossom.Only a few days later，the petals（花瓣） fall to the ground，like pink snowflakes.That means the traditional festival only lasts for several days.In Japan，almost everyone has picnics in the parks to view the flowers.
  Sinhalese New Year----Sri Lanka
     Dates：13th or 14th，April
     Just like in many other countries in South or South East Asia，this is the time when the Sinhalese celebrate the traditional New Year，an ancient celebration which marks the end of the harvest season and is one of two times of the year when the sun is straight above Sri Lanka.There are a lot of delicious foods during the celebration.

• 2．I was having breakfast，when "OUCH!" I screamed． "Why do you pinch （捏）me？"
     "You're not wearing green．" said my little brother；Tex． "Everyone knows you get pinched if you don't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day!"
     I was mostly mad about getting pinched，but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patrick's Day．
     I panicked． "What am I going to do？I don't have time to change．I'll get pinched all day long!" "Well，" Tex said，taking the old green baseball hat off his head， "you could borrow my lucky hat．"
     "But it's your favorite!" I said．
     "I know，" said Tex． "Just promise to give it back after school．"
     "No problem，" I said，glancing in the mirror on my way out the door． "I look like a fool in this thing !"
     "A lucky fool．" said Tex．
     "Hum．" I grabbed my backpack． "Thanks，I think？"
     Now，before I go on，you should know that I'm not a superstitious （迷信的）person．I don't believe that thirteen is an unlucky number or that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck．
     Anyway，I was racing to catch the school bus，and I saw a dollar on the sidewalk!I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it，but people just kept stepping on the poor thing，so I decided to rescue it．I had found pennies before，but never a dollar!
     My luck didn't stop there．Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me，quizzing each other on spelling words．
     I turned around and said， "You guys know that test isn't till tomorrow right？"
     "It got switched to this morning，" said Jacsksn． "Remember？"
     "That's right．I totally forgot!"Isaid． "I'm so lucky that I sat in front of you．If I hadn't，I wouldn't have found out till it was too late!" I got out my spelling words，studied all the way to school．And ended up getting a good mark in the test!
     The minute I got home，I gave Tex a big hug．
     "This is the luckiest hat in the world，" I said． "I'm never taking it off!"
     "But you promised to give it back!" said Tex．
     "Please-oh-please let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day!" I begged．
     "Tomorrow I'm auditioning （試演）for the school play，and I need every bit of help I can get．" "OK，" said Tex． "One more day．But you'd better be really nice to me．"
     "I will，"I agreed． "In fact，here you have my lucky dollar!" Tex cried with joy，then started dancing around and waving his gift in the air．
     The next day turned out to be super lucky．My audition couldn't have gone better．
     "Wow，Arizona!" said my friend Mareya． "I can't believe how amazingly you just did!You are so getting a major part in this play!"
     "Thanks!But honestly．the only reason I did OK is because I had my lucky hat．"
     "What lucky hat？" asked Mareya．
     "This one，" I said，reaching into my backpack，where I thought I'd put Tex's hat since I couldn't wear it for the audition．But it wasn't there! " Oh no!" I cried． "It's gone!What am I going to tell Tex？"
     Mareya helped me look for it．Luckily，we found Tex's hat in my locker．Also luckily．I discovered that I could be lucky with or without a goofy-looking hat．
     "So it wasn't the hat，" said Mareya． "This is just a wild guess，but maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month．"
     "Hmm，" I said． "It's possible．"
      So，dear friend，I guess you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared，believing in yourself…and maybe just a tiny bit of magic!In other words，luck may come your way，but you have to be ready for it when it does!
  
  （1）What can we infer from what the writer said "I look like a fool in this thing"？

  
  A．She thought she became a fool when wearing the hat．

• 3．Recently，a coalition of business and advocacy groups from around Washington gathered to kick off a campaign to enact a carbon pricing program in the capital.Known as the Climate and Community Reinvestment Act of D．C．，the plan would place a new tax on all fossil fuels bought or sold，with the hope of ultimately discouraging the use of these polluting energy sources.
     The big-picture goal of this campaign is admirable：to address the ever-deepening crisis of humanity-driven climate chaos by dissuading the continued use of coal，oil and gas，the filthy substances rapidly warming our planet.But unfortunately，the approach — one based in a world of financial markets，trading schemes and enticing new public revenue streams — is deeply and inherently flawed.Simply put，carbon pricing is a false solution to climate change and a distraction from real，effective climate solutions we must urgently pursue.
     To date，there is scant（不足的） evidence to indicate that carbon taxes lower greenhouse gas emissions.In fact，the opposite is true.Recently Food & Water Watch reviewed the British Columbia carbon tax program，often cited by advocates as an example of success.From 2009 （the first full year of the tax） to 2014，emissions from taxed sources grew by 4.3 percent.And in the seven years after the carbon tax took effect，total gasoline sales increased by 7.37 percent.
     Supporters of such plans like to focus on a deceivingly simple notion that increasing the price of a consumer good will automatically reduce its use.But this just isn't the case when it comes to the purchase of necessities.People must heat their homes in winter，and they must commute to work，regardless of the cost.
     Those backing the D．C．carbon pricing plan like to note that revenue from the new tax would go toward investment in clean energy sources.But only 20 percent of the generated funds would be allocated in this manner.The rest would be divvied（分攤） up in tax breaks for businesses and rebates（回扣） for consumers，another factor undercutting the notion that increased costs up front would change consumer behavior in the long run.
     Meanwhile，fossil fuel giants such as ExxonMobil are increasingly coming out in support of carbon pricing.This should be cause for alarm for anyone concerned with stamping out the use of the dirty energy sources these corporations profit from.Exxon knows that carbon taxes will do little to change the business-as-usual dependence on oil and gas that it relies on to continue operating and enriching shareholders.Furthermore，corporations such as Exxon rightly view carbon pricing schemes as a means of diverting energy and interest from tougher regulations that might actually encroach on（侵犯） their business plans and bottom lines.
     Despite what many well-intentioned activists and community leaders want to believe，there is no convenient，market-friendly solution to our dire climate condition.There is only the hard truth that we must tackle the problem at its source：We must stop using fossil fuels，and soon.The latest science indicates that in order to avoid the worst effects of deepening climate chaos，society must transition completely to clean，renewable energy by 2035.
  
  （1）Food &Water Watch found that

  .
  A．carbon taxes could limit greenhouse gas emissions
  B．taxing carbon emissions did not reduce pollution
  C．carbon emissions grew at a lower rate than gasoline sales
  D．British Columbia carbon tax program achieved lasting effect
  （2）Which of the following is true，according to Paragraphs 4 and 5？

  
  A．Consumers will use less of a good when its price increases.
  B．Carbon taxes will benefit the development of clean energy.
  C．Increased cost will do little to change the use of necessities.
  D．The dependence on fossil fuels will decrease automatically.
  （3）Fossil fuel giants

  .
  A．a(chǎn)re expressing dissatisfaction with carbon pricing schemes
  B．a(chǎn)re reducing their dependence on dirty energy sources
  C．view clean renewable energy as their future source of profits
  D．see carbon pricing as distraction from tough rules against them
  （4）The most suitable title for this text would be

  .
  A．The Carbon Tax Fallacy（謬論）
  B．The Climate Change Myth
  C．The Call for Clean Energy
  D．The Causes of Climate Chaos

  Dear Amy，
      How are you？Today I've got a wonderful news to tell you.I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education.Hundred of students took exams for it，but only a few was chosen and I was one of them.Therefore，my parents are not happy about it.They are strong against me going there.They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid what I will feel lonely.They can't imagine a girl so young lives alone.They advise me to study in Chengdu instead.Then I'll be able to continue live with them.How can I persuade them to accept the fact that I had grown up？
