The Spring Festival is the biggest holiday in Chineseculture，but for foreigners living in China it can be the most be the most unpleasant period of the year.Roundthe-clock firecrackers，closure of restaurants and traffic problems are just some of the reasons.

Before you watch the China Central Television（CCTV）Spring Festival Cala and enjoy dumplings，let me provide you with a rundown of the problems you may meet.

Perhaps the biggest inconvenience of Spring Festival for foreigners is the continuous sound of firecrackers.Although most Chinese people consider the noise to be festive（喜庆的），it can make foreigners feel worried.

The problem in many cases goes beyond the inability to sleep，but causes a strong sense of insecurity.Indeed，it feels like you are living in a warzone.Although there are firecrackers’zones，adults，children and even pets can suffer from the noise.

Restaurants’closures are often concerned in the first few days of the Spring Festival，which might be another problem over the holiday break.Those who rely on Jianbing（煎饼）breakfasts or late-night snacks at the hotel market struggle a bit more.

Of course，you won’t starve.But you need to keep an open mind and be prepared to spend more time and money on meals than usual.As neighborhood fruit and vegetable stands are closed，you can only get your groceries at supermarkets.

The beginning of the Spring Festival also means a traffic headache.Hundreds of millions of people are eager to reunite with their family members.They go home by rail，so it is proba

bly the worst time for you to take a train.Then how about planes？Roads out of town，especially to the airport，are full of private cars during the holiday.

Red might be a fortunate color in Chinese tradition，but for foreigners，it indicates a worrying situation.

16.According to the author，how many problems may foreigners meet during the Spring Festival？

A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.

17.Why are foreigners worried about the sound of firecrackers？

A.Because they are unable to sleep at night.

B.Because they don’t like living in a warzone.

C.Because there are no firecrackers’zones.

D.Because the sound makes them feel insecure.

18.What will happen to the foreigners when the restaurants close？

A.They will have to cook food by themselves at home.

B.They will feel hungry all the time.

C.They will spend more money and time on meals.

D.They will go to the shopping mall instead.

19.Paragraph 7 mainly talks about_________during the Spring Festival？

A.why people leave their hometown

B.how people go back home

C.how people have trouble with traffic

D.why people like traveling

20.Which of the following statement is TRUE？

The government in China plans to end its one-child policy and letfamilies have two children instead.

The plan was announced on Thursday after high level political meetings in Beijing.A Chinese Communist Party statement gave a number of reasons for the change in policy.The statement said the change is meant to balance population development，stop a falling birth rate（出生率）and strengthen the country’s labor force（劳动力）.

China，with the largest population in the world，started the one child policy in 1980.But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children.For example，some families in the countryside could have two children，if the first-born child is a girl.

In 2013，the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.

Jiang Quanbao，a teacher and population expert，explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy. “Too many young people in the cities are no longer inter-ested in having a second child，”he said.“People in the countryside are more interested.But some of them are already allowed to have two children.”

At the end of 2014，China had a population of 1.37 billion people.A total of 800 million of them have jobs. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years.That is to say，the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050.With the two-child policy，an increase in births can solve this problem.

Boys and girls，what do you think of the two-child policy？Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister？

21.Why does the government plan to end the onechild policy？

A.Because we need a larger population.

B.Because millions of people have jobs.

C.Because most families want to have a second child.

D.Because a falling birth rate must be stopped.

22.How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy？

A.They support the policy.

B.They don’t think it is good.

C.They’re very interested.

D.They’re not interested any more.

23.When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one-child policy continues？

A.In 2015.B.In 2035.C.In 2050.D.In 2070

24.What’s the order of the following events？

①The two-child policy was announced.

②China had a population of 1.37 billion people.

③Some families in the countryside could have two children.

④Families could have two children if one parent was an only child.

A.③④②①B.②①④③

C.④③②①D.③①④②

25.What may happen after we have the two-child policy？

A.There will be more old people.

B.The labor market population will drop.

C.Almost every family will have a second child.

D.The population development willbe balanced.

Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art.These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love，beauty and family.The most common things，from paper to clay to bamboo，are turned into objects of beauty.

According to Chinese history，sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming.He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble.Today，sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations.They are made of bamboo and covered with paper.When the lanterns are lit，they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see.They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.

Paper cutting has been around for over 1，500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do.The paper，usually red，is folded before it is cut with scissors.The most common pictures are flowers，fish，animals，and things about Chinese history.During the Spring Festival，they are put on windows，doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.

Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real.The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters from a Chinese fairy tale or historical story.The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry.After drying，they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted.Finally，materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things.It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.
