What holidays are people from other countries celebrating this season? This month, millions will observe
special holidays. But many people around the world will be celebrating holidays you might never have heard of
during November and December.
In the Bahamas, Junkanoo is held on December 26 and January 1. The Bahamas are islands that make up a
nation in the Atlantic Ocean near Florida. Junkanoo begins before the sun comes up. That's when the Junkanoo
parade starts. Dancers in costumes take to the streets. People along the parade route are invited to join in with the
dancers. Junkanoo grew popular during the 16th and 17th centuries. African slaves were given a special holiday
after Christmas. They were allowed to leave the fields and observe the holiday with their families. They celebrated
with African music, dance, and costumes. After the slaves were freed, people in the Bahamas continued the
Junkanoo tradition.
In Mexico, El Día de los Muertos ("Day of the Dead") isn't about ghosts. It is about remembering relatives and
celebrating life. On the Day of the Dead, family members gather in cemeteries. They decorate family members'
graves with colorful flowers. They tell stories about past relatives. They also have a picnic with lots of great food. On
this holiday, death is not seen as something to fear. Instead, it is seen as just another part of life."Our relatives
wouldn't want us to cry," said Miguel, a Mexican boy. "So we are happy instead." The Day of the Dead is held on
the first or second of November.
In Thailand, Loy Krathong is held during the full moon in November. Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia.
Before the festival, people make krathongs. A krathong is a small boat made of a banana leaf. Each krathong
contains a flower, a candle, and three incense sticks. Incense sticks produce a pleasant smell when burned. During
the festival, people light their candles and float their krathongs down rivers. Loy Krathong also includes feasts and
fireworks.

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of
desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man’s inexorable
necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many
creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.
Uncompromising as it is, the dessert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its
desiccating effects. No moist- skinned, water – loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found: the
giants of the North America desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds
more swift – footed, running, and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its populations are largely nocturnal,
silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere
environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere in the world.
The secret of their adjustment lies in a combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like mad
dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them
pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The
surface of the sun – baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60
degrees.

Many people believe that watching television has resulted in lower reading standards in schools. However,
the link between television and printed books is not as simple as that. In many cases, television actually
encourages people to read; for example, when a book is turned into a TV series, its sales often go up.
One study of this link examined six-year-old children who were viewing a special series of 15-minute
programs at school. The series was designed to encourage love of books, as well as to develop the basic
mechanical skills of reading. Each program is an animated film of a children's book. The story is read aloud and
certain key phrases from the book appear on the screen, beneath the picture. Whenever a word is read, it is also
highlighted on the TV screen.
One finding was that watching these programs was very important to the children. If anything prevented them
from seeing a program, they were very disappointed. What's more, they wanted to read the books which the
different parts of the series were based on.
The programs also gave the children more confidence when looking at these books. As a result of their
familiarity with the stories, they would sit in pairs and read the stories aloud to each other. On each occasion, the
children showed great sympathy when discussing a character in a book because they themselves had been moved
when watching the character on television.
Question 39: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The ways of children reading books and watching B. The simple link between television and books
C. The influence of television on reading books D. The advantage of books over television
Question 40: What advantage did children have from this program?

A. the programs B. the children C. the books D. the series
Question 42: The expression “familiarity with” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by ________.
A. similarity to B. difference from C. awareness of D. keenness on
Question 43: Which of the following statements is NOT true about the special series shown at schools?

B. The series was designed to help children grow their fond of books.
C. It had no subtitles appearing beneath the pictures on the screen.
D. It enhanced the basic mechanical skills of reading for children.
Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial, language. It was created more than a century ago by Polish
eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common language would help to alleviate some of
the misunderstandings among cultures.
In Zamenhof’s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated as
possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce. This did not result in a workable
language in that these monosyllabic words, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain.
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the words in his language
sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously. One example of how he
simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in o, as in the noun amiko, which
means “friend”, and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means “pretty”. Another example of the
simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko
therefore means “enemy”, and the word malbela therefore means “ugly” in Zamenhof’s language.
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen name, Dr. Esperanto,
when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word means “a person who hopes” in his
language. Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout Europe, and by 1950, Esperanto had spread from
Europe toAmerica andAsia.
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place inFrance, with approximately700 attendees from 20
different countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the
Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation.
Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I. Today, years after it was introduced, it
is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it. This may seem like a large number, but it is
really quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in
today’s world. Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this
happen.
Question 44. The topic of this passage is _________.
A. one man’s efforts to create a universal language B. how language can be improve
C. using language to communicate internationally D. a language developed in the last few years
Question 45. According to the passage, Zamenhof wanted to create a universal language to ______.
