This winter holiday was a different one for Chinese people. No Spring Festival gatherings, no family reunion meals, no hanging out with friends. Instead, we had masks on our faces, traffic controls, closed shops, delayed (延迟) school or work days, temperature checks in public places. During this time, most people have shown their understanding, taking medical advice and following the new rules. Everyone is making efforts, small or big, to help fight the epidemic (疫情).Here are the stories of three teenagers and their families during the epidemic.
Li Mingyu, 15, Lanzhou
* . His father is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. The hospital he works in has received several corona-virus pneumonia patients. Although Li’s father doesn’t have to treat the patients, there are still risks of infection (感染). To help cheer up his coworkers, Li’s father made a few packages containing traditional Chinese medicine and handed them out.
Zhao Junyan, 15, Shanghai
Zhao is a Grade 8 student from Shanghai. On Feb 3, he transported 15,000 masks from Indonesia back to China. During the winter holiday, Zhao went to visit his uncle in Jakarta. When he saw the news about the outbreak and the shortage of masks in China, he and his uncle bought as many masks as they could.“When a country is in trouble, everyone is responsible (有责任的) to help,”Zhao said to the media. “What I have done is what an ordinary Chinese person can possibly do.”
Tong Zexi, 15, Harbin
Tong hasn’t left his house for more than 20 days. Sometimes he really wanted to run outside and breathe freely without a mask. “But I need to protect myself and cause no trouble. In this key time, if one gets sick, many others could be affected,” he said. With this in mind, he has stayed at home and worked on his homework. He also tries to do some exercise indoors, believing that staying fit will help prevent the disease.
1.How does the writer support the idea that this winter holiday is different?
A.By sharing three stories. B.By comparing different families.
C.By giving examples of teenagers. D.By listing different activities.
2.Which sentence is suitable for___*___?
A.Here is a story by Li’s father.
B.Li’s father should be a good person.

B.People used to get together for family unions and hang out with masks in Spring Festivals.
C.Indonesia is good at producing masks so Zhao Junyan bought many masks there.

For many Chinese, winter holiday season doesn’t seem complete without the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. But it’s impossible to satisfy all 1.3 billion Chinese.
Even if you, especially young audience（观众）complain about the Spring Festival Gala, watching it while having Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner has become a common way for families to get together. It’s much more than just a TV program, it’s also a way to bring family members together and get them talking during the holiday. Think about how you’ll watch the gala and discover its fun.
1. Share your opinions（观点）about the programs and artists with your family members. Introduce artists who young people enjoy to the elderly memebers of your family, such as “fellow brother” William Chan, or former（以前的）singing group EXO members Kris Wu and Lu Han.
2. Post your compliments and complaints on micro blogs and WeChat moments to share with friends. Then they will know what you’re satisfied with and what you complain about. In recent years, the gala is trying to attract young people by using Internet slang（俚语）. Guessing when and what Internet chat lingo（术语）will be mentioned in the show is surely going to be hot on social media. Will there be “drunk and tired”（也是醉了）? Have a bet with friends.
3. Online video websites such as IQiyi and Youku have introduced a real-time online discussion system. All comments（评论）are displayed on the screen. You can try watching the show in this interactive（互动的）way instead of the traditional TV sets so that you may know others’ opinions about the programs in the Spring Festival Gala.
1.What does the underlined word “compliments” mean?
A. praise B. advice
C. messages D. instructions
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

B. Introducing types of programs in the Spring Festival Gala.
C. Watching the Spring Festival Gala on the online video websites.
D. Posting compliments and complaints on micro blogs and WeChat moments.
3.The writer mainly wants to tell us .

Countless people long to make a difference this holiday season, yet they don’t realize that opportunities(机遇) to make a difference are everywhere. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Organize a blank drive
It is cold outside, but imagine how thousands of homeless people may feel without a home of their own, or even a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations!
Practice random(随意的) acts of kindness
I’ll never forget the time when I went to pay for my Dr. Pepper, but the nurse stopped me, saying my bill was paid by an anonymous(匿名的) guest. It’s this random act of kindness that restores(恢复) my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbour’s snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex(复杂的) as paying the bill, you’ll never know how far your influence will reach.
Say thank-you
Just a simple thank-you can make someone’s day, especially if they feel like their work is never noticed. Cultivate(培养) a smile on their face by being sincere and thankful for all that they do.
Use your talents to help the community
The best way to show your thanks for people is by using the talents and skills you have to bless others. For me, I love to coordinate(协调) events and write, and so my way of reaching out to the community is through writing articles and creating awareness(意识) about problems we face today. If you can bake, make some delicious cookies for people to enjoy! If you can knit, put your talents to use by making clothes for children in foster care(寄养中心). Any talent can be used to help the community in meaningful ways.
Wish you a happy, healthy and helpful holiday season.

Did ancient Chinese people have weekends or public holidays? The weekly calendar (日历) 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 (官员) 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.
