【題目】A holiday is any day when people lay aside their ordinary duties and cares. The word comes from Old English. At first, holidays honored some holy(神的) events or persons. People in Great Britain and other countries speak of holidays as Americans speak of vacations.

Every nation has its special holidays. China observes New Year’s Day(January 1), May Day and National Day as legal(法定的) holidays, as it was on Oct. 1, 1949 that People’s Republic of China was founded. The Chinese have long celebrated the Chinese lunar year. In the United States, congress（國(guó)會(huì)） has declared several as legal days such as New Year's Day (January1), Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and so on. Some holidays celebrate special events in the development of a country, such as Greece’s Independence Day, Italy’s Liberation Day and India’s Independence Day.

In the United States, banks and schools usually close on a legal holiday. When such a holiday falls on Sunday, the following Monday is often observed. Schools and organizations often observe days known as traditional holidays, although schools and businesses do not close then. Those holidays include Valentine's Day and Halloween.

【1】Which of the following holidays has nothing to do with a country’s development?

C. the following Monday D. the following Tuesday

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】

試題分析：本文向讀者簡(jiǎn)要講述“holiday”（節(jié)假日）。

【1】D細(xì)節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文章第二段可知A. China’s National Day B. America’s Independence Day C. Italy’s Liberation Day均與國(guó)家的發(fā)展有關(guān)。故該題正確答案為D. Valentine’s Day情人節(jié)。

【2】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)The Chinese have long celebrated the Chinese lunar year. 排除A；根據(jù)Schools and organizations often observe days known as traditional holidays, although schools and businesses do not close then.可排除C；根據(jù)In the United States, banks and schools usually close on a legal holiday. 可排除D；而由China observes New Year’s Day(January 1)及In the United States, congress（國(guó)會(huì)） has declared several as legal days such as New Year's Day (January1)可知，中美至少共享一個(gè)節(jié)日，故該題正確答案為B.

【3】C細(xì)節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文中When such a holiday falls on Sunday, the following Monday is often observed.可知，該題正確答案為C.

【題目】When someone told 85-year-old Johnny Long that he was called a living legend, he replied, “I don’t know about that, but I’m living, and that’s important.”

Starting in 1949 as a high school band director and later as director of the Troy University band, Johnny Long became known as one of the most inspirational band directors in America. More than three hundred of his students went on to become band directors them-selves. “I have been a band director for more than 60 years and all I know about the word band is that you spell it F-U-N,” Long said. “And if you change that, it’s over.”

Long retired 14 years ago to spend more time with his wife Mary Lynn. But his passion (熱情) for bands never went away. He dreamed of forming a top-notch (拔尖的) community band in Troy. But Troy is a small town — with not a ton of top-notch talent. “I didn’t think it would work, I really didn’t,” Long said.

Fortunately, there was one thing Johnny hadn’t considered: the devotion of his former students. Now, once a week during the concert season, they drive in from all over the south and across the decades.

65-year-old Bobby Johnson was in Long’s first college class. He lives in Atlanta and drives 3 hours to practice. Johnson said he does it because Long’s “such a unique character and I just admire him so much.”

Many people do it for the same reason. “He’s the single biggest influence on my career.” “He was a father figure to me. He’s just a genuine person.”

Long said he wanted to be remembered as a teacher. “I think ‘teacher’ is the greatest word in the English language, next to ‘mother’.”

【1】What Long got most from bands was ______.

A. pleasure B. health C. wealth D. honor

【2】Why did Long retire 14 years ago?

A. Because he found no band talent in Troy.

B. Because he was tired of working as a director.

C. Because he hoped to spend more time with his wife.

D. Because he found his students were not devoted to music.

【3】The words of Long’s students show that ______.

A. Long treated his students like a father

B. Long was born to be a good teacher

C. Long influenced his students greatly

D. Long was very special as a teacher

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Johnny Long still teaches at the age of 85.

B. A band director had more than 300 students.

C. A band lover organized a band in a small town.

D. 85-year-old band director still inspires others.
