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.

1.According to the passage, the Westerners invented _________ in the past.

A.good spirits B.public holidays

2.Officials in Tang Dynasty took one day off every ten days because _________.

A.they shared the work together at the time B.there was much work to do then

3.Officials during the Ming and Qing Dynasties could take seven days off on _________.

There was an ancient Chinese story. A naughty boy Mencius and his family lived next to the cemetery(墓地). Mencius liked to hold a funeral(葬礼) just like people around. Mencius’ mother took him and moved to a market. Then Mencius and his neighbors’ children learned to buy and sell meat. Finally, they moved again and lived next to a school. In this neighborhood, people treated each other politely. Mencius’ mother thought that was the right living place for her son.

The story tells us the importance of people around us. For students, they can be role models.

In a study, I interviewed some students at Bingham High School. These teens have lots of opinions about role models.

Teens need role models to provide direction. Jeff Pratt said, “To have a role model helps you to decide where you want to go with your life.” A role model shows what a teen’s life could be like in the future. “Role models are people you admire, and those people that help make you a good person.” This is Spencer Park’s opinion of who role models are and why it is important to have them.

A role model is “someone to look at and try to learn good qualities from,” said Natalie Bean.

When teens were asked “What is a role model like?”, the list included words such as, encouraging, inspiring, strong-willed, honest, ready to stand up for what they believe in, helpful, easy to talk to, talented and cheerful. Teens want to learn from their role models how to succeed and also how to carry on after failure.

Robbie Jenkins said, “Good role models are people that stand up for what is right and good.

Role models encourage and inspire.” Heidi Woolley said, “A good role model makes a teen do the best in school and in life and make much progress. Then he will have a good opinion of his own abilities and accept himself gradually. In this way, role models help build up a teen’s self-esteem.”

“The role models teens need are not the ones that appear in the media,” said Natalie Bean.

My study also shows students are quick to agree on that a true role model is not the person with the best job title, the greatest responsibility, or the greatest fame(名望). Anyone who inspires a child to achieve dreams in life can be a right role model.

1.The writer uses the story in Paragraph 1 to show that _______________.

A. People should have good habits.

B. People are influenced by others.

C. People are able to choose good neighbours.

D. People know how to choose a living place.

2.What do students at Bingham High School probably agree?

A. Role models stand up for what is right and social.

B. Anyone can inspire a child to achieve dreams in life.

C. Having a role model decides where to go with your life.

D. A teen can learn good qualities from a good role model.

3.What does the underlined word “self-esteem” mean?

A. Self-respect. B. Self-control. C. Self-praise. D. Self-support.

4.What’s the writer’s main purpose in this passage?

A. To know what students’ role models do.

B. To tell how a teen learn from a role model.

C. To find out students’ ways to be a role model.

D. To share ideas of some teens about role models.

On May 23, Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd,” said a post on Sina Weibo.

A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

Many people say that they jaywalk (乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University.The teamdid research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore (忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.

However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.

Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.

But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.
