Everyone has a day for birthday. Most of us eat birthday cakes and get presents from relatives（亲戚）and friends on that day. Birthday cakes are an important part of birthday celebrations. In many centuries, people put candles on birthday cakes. Do you know why there are candles on birthday cakes? This tradition dates back to（追溯到）ancient Greece. The Greeks used to put candles on a cake to show respect（尊敬）for the moon goddess, Artemis. They baked round cakes to represent（代表）the moon and added the candles to represent the moonlight. You may think the smoke from the candle is bad for our health.

But ancient people believed that it carried their wishes to gods. So they would make a wish and then blow out the candles. Today, we still put birthday candles on cakes. Many people hold beliefs（信念）about them, too. For example, some people believe that the birthday boy or girl should make a silent wish before blowing out the candles. If the person can blow out all the candles in one breath, the wish will come true, and the person will have good luck all the year.

71.__________ are an important part of birthday celebrations.

72. To show respect for the moon goddess, Artemis, the Greeks used to ____________.

73. Ancient people believed that __________from the candle carried their wishes to gods.

74. Some people believe that before they blow out the candles, the boy or the girl should ____________.

75. If the person can ____________ in one breath, the person will have good luck all the year.

Stay in the shade on a sunny day

When I walk down the street in Beijing during the summer, I often find it quite difficult to get where I’m going. Why? Because of all the umbrellas in my way. Before I came to China, I’d never seen people carrying umbrellas on sunny days. But in China, women carry umbrellas when it’s not raining. What is the purpose, I wondered?

I found that there are many reasons for this. Firstly, it protects people from the sun’s rays（光线）. Many Chinese cities get hot in the summer. People sometimes carry umbrellas to stay cool.

But wait a second. If umbrellas can help us stay cool, why don’t I ever see men carrying them?

That brings us to the second reason-blocking（阻碍） the sun helps women’s skin stay pale（白皙的）. In China,  pale white skin is considered to be more beautiful than tanned（晒成棕褐色的）skin. Cosmetics（化妆品）companies even sell special creams and powders（香粉）to make your skin look whiter. Women in the US, on the other hand, actually prefer to be tan. It’s considered more beautiful there. Some people will lie outdoors in the sun for hours to get a tan. But doing this too much can be dangerous, as the sun’s rays are bad for your skin.

And as it turns out, China isn’t the only place where women carry umbrellas during the summer. Women in Greece are also known to carry umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun. So there you have it — umbrellas aren’t just for rainy days. Although I don’t think I’m going to start carrying one anytime soon.

71. I often find it quite difficult to get where I’m going because of __________ in my way.

72. People sometimes carry umbrellas to protect them from ___________ and stay cool.

73. In China, people considered that ____________ is more beautiful than tanned skin.

74. __________ outdoors in the sun too much can be dangerous, as the sun’s rays are bad for your skin.

75. From the passage we know that umbrellas aren’t just for _____________.

My son starts school today. It’s going to be strange and new to him for a while, and I hope you will be nice to him.

You see, until now, he has been the boss of his home. I have always been around to take care of him and make him feel better.

But now, things are going to be different.

This morning, he is going to walk down the front steps himself, say goodbye and start a new journey that will be difficult and challenging.

To live his life in the world will need love and bravery.

So, World, I hope you will take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know.

Teach him that for every villain (恶棍), there is a hero, that for every enemy, there is a friend.

Teach him how wonderful reading can be.

Teach him that it’s better to fail than it is to cheat (作弊).

Teach him to believe in himself, even if everyone tells him that he is wrong.
