Nwadays, peple in China are increasingly interested in celebrating freign festival, especially thse western festivals.
A survey cnducted recently by Sina. Cm shwed that amng the 18,222 peple surveyed 63.9% said celebrating Christmas is just anther way f recreatin, nthing serius while 17.85% surveyed cnsidered the festival as a fashin act, shwing they were nt “ut”. These tw parts clearly indicate the general pinin f the yung. 10.45 percent peple invlved said the celebratin f a religius western festival with s much enthusiasm is abslutely ridiculus pursuit f freign gdness. Only 7.8% f peple define Christmas as a kind f festival clnizatin(殖民).
The arising f celebrating freign festivals clearly has smething t d with the advancement f China’s ecnmy. In my pinin f view, Christmas and ther festivals celebrated in China have difference frm the rigin. They have lst their religius backgrund and turned int a big ccasin t have fun and enjy life. Shp wners' pckets are filled, the public's hunger fr happiness is filled, and that is enugh. Freign festivals in China are mre like carnivals giving peple pleasure and enjyment.
The crisis(危机) f traditinal Chinese festivals that are lsing their attractin may be linked t the culture traditin and backgrund f the festivals. Mst Chinese festival culture is related mre r less t real life.
But the western culture shws much f rmance. Sme festivals have their religius backgrund while thers have much t d with culture and peple. At this pint, fd seems t be t plain. Flwers and chclates are mre welcmed.
Freign festivals in China tday are celebrated fr fun. They give peple pprtunities t relax and t shw appreciatin and gratefulness. The acceptance f freign festivals generally depends n the penness f the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and mst imprtantly, n peple’s ecnmic status.
24．Frm the survey we knw that amng the peple surveyed _________
A．Mst think celebrating freign festivals is ridiculus

I was a shy girl. I didn’t even like t answer the telephne fr fear I’d have t talk t smebdy I didn’t knw. I enjyed the lneliness f explring nature. Hwever, at schl I had t spend all day in the cmpany f thers. My escape was reading. I spend a lt f time studying and was rewarded with gd grades. My nly failure was Spanish — I’d get all As n my written wrk and tests, but Ds and Fs n the spken part.
Eventually I went t cllege. During my third year f cllege, I had enugh f being shy and determined t change my utlk and behavir. One day while at schl, I nticed an advertisement fr psitins n the lcal classical music radi statin. I had grwn up listening t classical music, and I culd easily prnunce names such as Tchaikvsky, Albinni, and Chpin.
I had abslutely n backgrund in radi, and abslutely n hpe f getting the jb. The idea f talking t thusands f listeners in “radi land” terrified me. Hwever, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptins f symphnies (交响乐) and a public service annuncement t read, and a list f cmpsers’ names t prnunce. It wasn’t hard fr me. I left the recrding sessin (录音时段) with a sense f relief and a sense f accmplishment. Abut tw weeks later I actually landed the jb. It was a challenging jb, but I grew t enjy it greatly. I began t feel cmfrtable talking t peple.
Althugh I nw spend many hurs each week talking with peple, I’m still basically a quiet persn. Perhaps it is my sft vice and my quiet nature that helps draw peple ut as they respnd t my questins as I interview them. My frmer shyness is a frtune, as I can relate t peple wh feel discmfrtable when they talk t newspaper reprters. I still enjy mments f lneliness and the peace fund in nature. But I’m als glad I decided t make a change in my life that has pened many drs and pprtunities that I never knew existed.

Befre Jafri culd respnd, Lbb climbed ver the rail at the edge f the pier and leaped int the cld, plluted water withut taking the time t remve his shes.

Appraching the uncnscius victim, Lbb saw that it was a middle-aged man. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty. Hw-t get ut? On the pier, a crwd had gathered.

Bth men, Jafri in particular, thrughly exhausted frm 15-plus minutes in the water and bleeding frm numerus barnacle cuts, watched as rescue wrkers laded the nearly drwned man int an ambulance and drve away.
In place f that knwledge, they have a stry they get t tell nw, anther experience that has further enhanced their bnd. Lts f peple were n the piers that day, yet nly the tw f them jumped in the water — because, they say, they were the fittest peple there and, s, had a mral respnsibility.
“If I knw I’m capable,” Lbb says, “why wuldn’t I help?” Jafri adds, laughing, “Peple always say ‘If yur friend jumps ff a cliff, are yu jumping?’ I think I answered that ne.”
