阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

As we all know, every country has its own special festival. In China, Qingming Festival, or Tomb-Sweeping Day, is a traditional festival. It usually falls on the 4th or 5th day in April. On that day, Chinese pay respects to their ancestors and the dead. People in different parts of the country enjoy different foods on the day because of local customs(风俗).

Here are some traditional foods people eat on the special day.

1Qingtuan

Qingtuan is widely eaten in China's Jiangnan Area-the southern part of the Yangtze River-around Qingming Festival. The seasonal food is usually made from glutinous rice(糯米) mixed with pounded mugwort-an eatable wild herb thought to prevent insect bites.

2Sanzi

In both northern and southern China, it is an age-old tradition to eat sanzi, or fried dough twists, on Tomb-Sweeping Day. However, sanzi in North and South China are different in size and material. Northern people prefer larger ones made from wheat, while people in the South enjoy smaller ones made from rice.

3 Thin Pancakes

Thin pancakes are a popular food for people in Xiamen in Fujian Province on Tomb-Sweeping Day. To make it tastier, they usually add dried seaweed, omelet (! 'R), vegetables and chili sauce to the pancakes.

4Spring Onion and Omelet

In Qingdao in Shandong Province, people eat spring onion and omelet on the day. They believe a mix of the two helps improve eyesight and makes eyes brighter. In ancient times, pupils often sent eggs to their teachers to show respect on the day.

5 Steamed Rice with Leaf Mustard(盖菜)

In many places in Fujian Province, people thought eating steamed rice with leaf mustard on Tomb-Sweeping Day could help prevent skin diseases for the whole year.

Besides the above special foods in different places, people in Shanxi Province often eat a kind of steamed bun named after Jie Zitui. Therefore, Chinese love to eat different kinds of foods to celebrate different festivals. Maybe that is a common way for people all over the world to celebrate special festivals.

1.When is Tomb-Sweeping Day?

2.Where is Qingtuan widely eaten in China around Qingming Festival?

3.How are sanzi in North and South China different?

4.Why do people eat steamed rice with leaf mustard on Tomb-Sweeping Day?

5.What is the main idea of the passage?

It’s true that every country has its custom.

We all know that in America if people are pleased with you，they will give you a sign “OK”. But maybe you don‘t know this sign is considered to be rude in Brazil.

In Poland， guests usually choose flowers as presents for hostesses（女主人）. Remember the number must be an odd（奇数）one. And the hostess doesn’t hope that you remove the cover of the bunch（束）of flowers. You must be more careful when you give red roses to a woman because the red rose means love.

In China we often hear people say that “nodding” means agreement（同意）。 And “shaking the head” means disagreement. But in Bulgaria they mean the opposite.

We really need to pay more attention to the differences in customs. What‘s more， we should learn more about them in order to avoid embarrassment （尴尬）。 Do remember: when in Rome， do as the Romans do.

A cup of coffee is a good way for many people to start their day. It can also pass on kindness.

Manyang Kher used to be a Sudanese child refugee(难民). When he was three years old, his village was burnt in the war. He was separated from his parents and never saw them again. He became one of the 20,000 young Sudanese who had to leave their home for Ethiopia’s Gambella area. He lived there as a refugee for 13 years.

When he was 16, Kher went to the United States. While he was in college, he started a program to help the refugees. Now, he owns a coffee company (公司) called 734, which is a part of his program. The company has helped more than 200,000 refugees living in the Gambella area till now. Kher said, “I know the difficulties and pains they face every day. You see kids die from hunger. You see kids dying of illnesses. You see kids running away from the refugee camp to find a place to be home, but die on the way.”

Eighty percent of the money made by the coffee company is used to send more of the children to school. And, as Kher explains, the money helps refugees to help themselves. For example, a cup of 734 coffee can also buy one fishing net(网) for a refugee. They can fish for themselves.

Kher sells the coffee online and to coffee stores. Megan Murphy owns a coffee store in Washington, D.C. She serves 734 coffee in her store and people love it. The coffee tastes delicious, so it’s a win-win on both sides.

1.Kher left his home when he was three years old because ________.

A.his parents opened a store B.his village was burnt in the war

C.he had to move to the US D.he lost his home in an earthquake

2.Kher helps the refugees by ________.

A.making fishing nets B.offering coffee to them

C.starting a program D.sending them back home

3.We can infer from this passage that ________.

A.Kher sells his coffee both online and to coffee stores

B.you’re helping the refugees when enjoying 734 coffee

C.coffee from Megan Murphy’s store tastes delicious

D.Megan Murphy is one of the refugees in Gambella
