　　The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival．

　　The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest-time．The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere．The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities．Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood(茱萸)and drinking chrysanthemum(菊花)wine have become the traditional activities of the festival．

　　The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance(香氣)，and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine．People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill(寒意)in late autumn．So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries．But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities, do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like．

　　Early in Han Dynasty, about 2000 years ago, people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival．For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter．The custom evolved(發(fā)展成)into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercises as well as enjoy the autumn scenery．

　　But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain?The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes．The Chinese word for“cake”is“Gao”, a homony of the Chinese word for“high”．Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb．

(1)

Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on Chongyang Festival?

[　　]

A．

Because the dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance．

B．

Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine．

Bai Juyi’s

(3)

[　　]

A．

C．

to enjoy beautiful autumn scenery

D．

both B and C

(4)

閱讀理解，閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳答案。

　　Television is a central part of many people's lives．There are very few places in the world where one cannot find a television set．Some sporting events, such as the Olympic Games or the football World Cup, can attract audiences of many millions．But is television a good or bad influence on young people in the modern world?

　　Thomas Murray, president of the British Parents Against Television Society, believes that it has not improved young people's lives．“Television damages family life, ” he argues．“At mealtime, families no longer talk to each other．In the evenings, youngsters do not spend good quality time with family members．Instead, they watch television．” Murray says that this lack of communication leads to social problems．

　　Murray also believes that the content of television programmes provides young people with poor role models．“There is so much violence(暴力)on TV－guns, kung fu fighting, and so on．Young people think that all problems should be solved by aggression．”

　　It is not just young people's mental health that worries Murray．“Teenagers don't get enough exercise because they spend so many hours watching television．They also develop back problems from sitting down for so long, and eye ________ strain from the effort of watching．”

　　Murray would like to see changes to television habits．“Programmes should be educational．Their contents should be nonviolent and healthy．There should be no programmes after ten o’clock in the evening．Parents should teach their children to enjoy their spare time by playing sports or games．And certainly, the television should be switched off during mealtime．

　　Susan Taylor is a television producer．She believes that television is a good influence on young people．“Television brings the outside world to youngsters．It even brought us pictures from the moon! And look what happens after the Olympic Games or the World Cup matches have been shown on TV．People start to take more exercise．Also, there are a lot of programmes about healthy eating and keeping fit．”

　　However, Taylor agrees with Murray's point of view concerning parents．“Of course parents have a role to play in educating their kids．They should turn the TV off during mealtime and they should talk with their children as often as possible．”

(1)

The article is mainly about ________．

[　　]

A．

that TV is a central part of many people's lives

whether TV is a good or bad influence on young people in the modern world

Murray only worries about young people's mental health．

TV programmes are nonviolent and educational．

[　　]

A．

The lack of communication．

B．

Young people watching too much TV．

So much violence on TV．
