In China, many people have the habit of buying a new calendar at the beginning of a new year and putting it on the wall. Usually the calendar is made of thirteen pieces of paper (a cover and the calendar for each month). The pictures in the calendar look very beautiful. But when the year is over and the calendar is no longer useful, they just throw it away.
Now some smart calendar makers get a good idea—a shopping bag calendar. This kind of calendar looks no different from other calendars. What makes it different is that it’s not made of paper, but twelve shopping bags. On every shopping bag, there is a calendar for each month. When one month is over, they can take down that month and use it as a shopping bag. You can find out the date or put things in it. It’s cool and good for the environment.
1.When do Chinese people buy a calendar?
A. At the end of the new year.
B. In the middle of the year.
C. At the beginning of the new year.
D. On New Year’s Day.
2.According to the article, usually how many pages are there in a traditional calendar?
A. 14. B. 13. C. 12. D. 6.
3.Which of the following is RIGHT?
A. Shopping bag calendar looks the same as other calendars.
B. Shopping bag calendar is bad for the environment.
C. People often go shopping with the traditional calendars.
D. People often take down the shopping bag at the beginning of that month.

Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.
Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money.
