Chinese people call the Spring Festival "Nian”. But do you know that Nian was once the name of a monster (妖怪)?
A long time ago, the monster Nian lived in the mountains. It ate animals. But in winter, it could not find food. So it came to villages and ate a lot of people.
People were so afraid of Nian that they locked their doors before evening came during the winter. One day, an old man came to a village. He told people there that Nian was afraid of three things--the colour red, fire and noise. He told people to play the drums and gongs, make big fires and set off fireworks (放鞭炮) to make Nian go away.
On a moonless, cold night, Nian went to the village again. As soon as it opened its big mouth, people made loud noises and made fires. Nian was really afraid and ran away. Wherever it went, there was noise and fire.
When Nian was tired and could not run anymore, people killed the monster.
After that, on the coldest day of winter, people beat drums and gongs, and set off fireworks to celebrate the death of the monster of Nian. They put up red lanterns (灯笼) and have a big dinner without sleeping during the night.
In the morning people greet each other happily. So now we have the Spring Festival.

VII.任务型阅读（10分）阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。
You often hear “New year, new me” in the UK on the first of January. It is very common to start a new year’s resolution on this day. This can be to give up something, like sweets or chocolate, so you can be healthier. People also like to start doing something new. There are so many things you can do! Many people I know decide to play sports and eat healthier food as their new year’s resolution. Many become heavier after the holidays as they often eat a lot.
I think new year’s resolutions are a great idea to give people motivation (动机) to do something good for themselves. When other people have the same resolution as yours, it helps you to stick to your own. For example, you could go jogging (慢跑) with a group of friends several times a week. That can be so much more fun and help you to keep the resolution.
Also, I think it is important for you to choose something realistic as a new year’s resolution. In the past, I have given up chocolate, stopped eating meat and started doing kungfu. Soon after that, I gave up some of these things, such as not eating chocolate. They were too difficult to keep. And some I kept on with and still do now.
This year, my resolution is to travel less by plane. Living in the UK, it was very difficult to travel without a car and not by plane, but now that I live in Germany I find it much easier to travel by another mode (模式) of transport. There are more environmentally friendly ways that I can choose like travelling by train or bus, though it’s more expensive, I know that I will do harm to the environment much less.
62．When do people often start new year’s resolutions in the UK?
_______________________________________________________________
63．What resolutions has the writer made to keep healthy in the past?
_________________________________________________________________________
64．Where does the writer live now?
_________________________________________________________________________
65．Why does the writer choose to travel less by plane this year?
_________________________________________________________________________
66．What does the passage mainly talk about?
_______________________________________________________
