Girl’s Crazy Historical Costumes

Stella Ehrhart, a US third-grader, dresses up as a different historical figure every day before school—yes, you heard right! The 8-year-old has been coming to class in a different persona (人物) daily since the second day of second grade, when she showed up as American author Laura Ingalls Wilder. Stella gets ideas for what to wear from the book 100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century. However, in the past years she has also dressed up as fictional characters including Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. The eager student managed to get through the entire second grade without repeating herself, but now she is running out of ideas. The girl’s parents, who are both theater professionals, say they support their daughter’s “creativity”. Her mother told UK news website The Huffington Post, “She goes into her closet and just picks out what she wants each day.”

Learning Soars

How do you get a child’s early education off the ground? A head teacher in the Georgian city of Rustavi has found a unique way of creating an exciting learning environment. He has transformed a plane into a kindergarten. Gari Chapidze bought an old but functional Yakovlev Yak-42 from Georgian Airways and filled it with education equipment, games and toys, but left the cockpit (駕駛艙) untouched so it could be used as a play area. “The idea was to create a kindergarten where children go

with joy,” Chapidze, who runs the kindergarten, told AFP. “The children come in to the kindergarten with pleasure and cry when they have to go home. They are happy here,” he added.

Taxi Driver Gets Lucky in Las Vegas

Bright lights and big wins—this is what Las Vegas is known for, and even the taxi drivers here get lucky. Well, at least recently one did. Adam Woldemarim, 42, discovered $ 221,510 in the back of his van after a long day at work. The money was in a laptop case left between the seats of the Virgin Valley cab. What did Woldemarim do with the cash? He turned it in. The Ethiopian driver soon got a call from the case’s owner who, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, had “won big” and was on his way to the airport when he realized he had forgotten his winnings. Woldemarim was given a $ 2,000 reward. But it was reported that the driver’s fellow taxi drivers thought he should have got a lot more.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆河北高陽中學高三12月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The majority of Indian women wear a red dot (圓點) between their eyebrows. While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital (婚姻的) status, the practice is primarily related to the Hindu religion. The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects, and “bindi” is the one that is most commonly known. Traditionally, the dot carries no gender restriction: Men as well as women wear it. However, the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times, so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one.

The position of the bindi is standard: center of the forehead, close to the eyebrows. It represents a third, or inner eye. Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes: The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world, and the third one is there to focus inward toward God. As such, the dot serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer’s thoughts.

Red is the traditional color of the dot. It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife’s eyes to seal their marriage. According to Hindu beliefs, the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple. Today, people go with different colors depending upon their preferences. Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes. Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes, colors and variations, and can be worn by young and old, married and unmarried people alike. Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom.

1.Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead?

A. To indicate their social rank.

B. To show their financial status.

C. To show their religious belief.

D. To highlight their family background.

2.What is the importance of the third eye in Hindu tradition?

A. To pay respect to God.

B. To stay in harmony with nature.

C. To see things with a subjective view.

D. To observe the outside world more clearly.

3.Why was red chosen as the original color of the bindi?

A. The red dot represented the blood of God.

B. Red stood for a wife’s love for her husband.

C. The word “bindi” means “red” in some Hindi dialects.

D. Red was supposed to bring good luck to a married couple.

4.Which of the following statements is true about the practice of wearing a bindi today?

A. Bindis are now used as a decorative item.

B. Bindis are worn anywhere on the face now.

C. Most Indian women do not like to wear bindis anymore.

D. Wearing a bindi has become more popular among Indian men.
