• 3．2021 is the Year of the Ox in China.You will find different things in the shape of ox，which are made of gold，wood，plastic，paper and stone，on sale in stores and on the streets.People celebrate its returning through those ways.
     But why was the ox chosen to be one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs（十二生肖）？
     Centuries ago，most people made their living by farming.The ox was used to help with the farm work like carrying heavy goods.The ox has had an important place in Chinese culture.Ancient Chinese poets and writers often described the ox in their literature works.In The Book of Songs（《詩(shī)經(jīng)》），the animal was mentioned in 9 out of 305 pieces.People also put up pictures or paper-cuttings about the ox on their walls or windows to decorate their houses.
     The ox is considered a symbol of working hard in Chinese culture.To this day，"the spirit of ox" means one can overcome any difficulty.The spirit is highly praised and many people follow it as their work ethic（職業(yè)道德）.When someone gets great achievement through hard work，people often use "niu"，meaning wonderful，to describe him or her.
     Oxen seldom bully the weak or fear the strong.They work hard and ask for nothjye.aig.In the traditional legend story，the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl（《牛郎織女》），the ox helped the poor young man marry the fairy.Lu Xun also wrote "Fierce-browed，I coolly defy a thousand pointing fingers；headbowed，like a willing ox I serve the children.（橫眉冷對(duì)千夫指，俯首甘孺子牛）"to express its loyalty（忠誠(chéng)）to the people.
     So naturally，those who were born in the Year of the Ox are often expected to be hard- working，honest and loyal.

五、信息摘錄（共 5 個(gè)小題，每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分） 閱讀短文，然后完成文后的思維導(dǎo)圖，每空不超過(guò)三個(gè)詞。

• 8．Do you like reading？It is very important for us to learn or study through reading.But now many students say they don't have enough time to read.So we need some skills to help read more in less time while we are doing some reading in class.Here are two skills that I think are very good.
      Preview（預(yù)讀）—if your article is long as well as difficult，such as long magazine articles or science reports，previewing is very useful for you to get a general idea.Here is how to preview.
  ? Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
  ? Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
      Of course you can't get all the details by previewing.It tells you not to spend time on things you don't really want or need to read.
      Skim（瀏覽）—if your article is short and simple，like popular magazines or the sports of your daily paper，skimming is a good way to get a main idea.Here's how to skim.
  ? Get your eyes to move fast.Sweep across each line.
  ? Pick up only a few key words in each line
      Everybody skims differently.You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same passage，but perhaps we'll get the idea of what it's all about.
      I wish all of us could read more books and enjoy reading every day!
