There are four fun festivals throughout the year in Brazil.

of Saint John. It celebrates country life with typical clothes, food and dances inside a large tent,
with decorations such as colored flags, beautiful table cloths and balloons.
Oktoberfest
The Germanic roots of the south of Brazil brought this traditional German festival to Brazil,

also a great opportunity to get to know the beautiful town of Paraty.
Parintins Folklore Festival
The festival held every year in Parintins is the second largest in Brazil after the carnival. It
goes over a period of three days at the end of June and celebrates the Amazonian legend of a
resurrected ox (复活的牛). The main attraction of the festival is the competition between the two

There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he
wasn't sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old
man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it's in the attic ( 阁 楼 ). Wait here for a
minute.”
Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see
nothing there. “Take it. It's a very special chair. Because it's invisible (无形的) it's rather difficult
to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you'll be able to tell who your
true friends are.”
Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to
form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You're about to see
something amazing,” Mario said.
Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto
his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn't be beaten. He kept trying to sit
on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn't fall.
This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding
him up, so he wouldn't fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were
doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly
thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸)
when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.
24. What did Mario's grandpa take from the attic?
A. An invisible chair. B. An old chair.
C. A real chair. D. Nothing.
25. Why did Mario's grandpa give him the invisible chair?
A. To see whether Mario could sit on it.
B. To test who were Mario's true friends.
C. To let Mario have fun with his classmates.
D. To test whether Mario was popular at school.
26. How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?
A. He saw the invisible chair suddenly.
B. He managed to sit on the chair finally.
C. His friends held him up with their hands.
D. His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.
27. What does the story tell us?
A. Never laugh at our friends.
B. True friends can help us do magic.
C. True friends are those who care for us.
D. Having too many good friends isn't a good thing.
C
When you play video games, what types of games do you play? Do you enjoy creative,
imaginative games like Minecraft? Or are sports or racing games more your style?
Another popular kind of video game is the role-playing game (RPG). Although RPGs may
combine many elements from other types of games, the key aspect of an RPG is that, as a player,
you assume the role of a specific character. Whether you’re in a fantasy, historical or modern-day
setting, you interact with the game’s imaginary world as if you were the character you play.
Fascinating as modern role-playing video games are, they all have a very low-technology
origin: the pen and paper tabletop (桌面) game Dungeons and Dragons (D&D). Created by Dave
Arneson and Gary Gygax in 1974, D&D was the first RPG. Even though it wasn’t electronic, it
had all the characteristics that RPGs have become known for: interesting characters, classes,
abilities, races, and experience points. D&D players used pencils, paper, books and dice (骰子).
They used their imagination to create attractive storylines ( 故 事 情 节 ) and, perhaps most
importantly, had a lot of real, face-to-face social interaction with their friends. D&D set the stage
for all the RPGs that would follow. Now, high-tech RPGs have become the choice of most young
people. However, D&D is still played today by many despite the prevalence of the high-tech
video games.
Players of RPGs usually focus on how much fun they have playing the game. However,
besides all that fun, they are also learning a variety of skills that will help them in school and their
future careers. RPGs require a lot of reading, so they definitely help improve reading skills.
Developing imaginative storylines for characters requires a high level of creativity. As players
develop their storytelling skills, they also learn how to think critically and solve problems as part
of a team. Face-to-face interaction with friends also improves social skills.
28. What do the players need to do in an RPG?
A. Choose a role. B. Design a scene.
C. Make up a story. D. Fight the enemy.
29. What do we know about the first role-playing game?
A. It’s pretty easy to play. B. Players play it face to face.
C. The Internet is a must for it. D. It is a single computer game.
30.What does the underlined word “prevalence” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Importance. B. Convenience.
C. Popularity. D. Improvement.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A. Fun of playing RPGs. B. Tips for playing RPGs.
C. Specific rules of RPGs. D. Benefits of RPGs for players.

Have you ever been on an airplane, minding your own business, and found your eyes filled
with tears for no reason? Or perhaps you sat near someone who burst into tears. Is there
something happening to your body that triggers (引发) the tears?
There sure is! When you’re inside a flying airplane, you’re miles off the ground. Not exactly
a place where humans usually find themselves. The airplane is pressurized ( 加 压 ) to keep
passengers comfortable. But it’s still not the pressure levels that you’ll experience at ground
level. It’s a bit like having climbed a pretty high mountain.
The primary tear-trigger is the lower amount of oxygen in your blood. The oxygen levels in
the plane are lower than you’ll find on the ground. And it can bring you bad feelings.
Another cause is dehydration( 脱水). Because the air in the plane is very dry, we may get
dehydrated. And being dehydrated can have all kinds of harmful effects on your 30,000-foot-high
body, which is making you have bad feelings like sadness and worry. In fact, there is a spiritual
reason, too! Even if you’re not afraid of planes, it’s a high-stress situation. Taking a flight often
involves saying goodbye to someone in the place you’re leaving. You can also be worried about
plane crash or losing your baggage.
You can drink plenty of water before your flight to fight back your tears. You can also keep
your mind busy with a puzzle or brain game. And if you’re going to watch a movie, maybe
choose one that’s a bit more relaxing. In short, make flying a more pleasant and less stressful
experience.
32. Why did the author raise questions in Paragraph 1?
A. To lead to the topic of the text.
B. To give background information.
C. To research how many people cry on an airplane.
D. To ask who knows why people cry on an airplane.
33. What triggers tears when you’re on an airplane according to Paragraph 2?
A. The temperature inside the plane. B. The altitude you’re at.
C. The weather. D. Your health.
34. Which one is RIGHT according to Paragraph 4?
A. One shouldn’t sleep in the plane in case of losing his/her baggage.
B. One may not feel afraid when the plane flies below 30,000 feet high.
C. One that often feels sad or worried is not fit to take a plane.
D. One may lose too much water from his/her body when he/she travels by plane.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Suggestions on how to take a safe flight.
B. Advice on how to get over fears when flying.
C. Tips on how to hold back tears while you’re flying.
D. Ways of making you comfortable while you’re flying.
