When a Filipino lady is to be married,she will be the busiest person in the scene.She wants her big day to be great and memorable because most Filipinos marry only once.The bride-to-be usually loses weight before her big day because of stress.Those who can afford to pay for a wedding planner are free from worries.But average Filipinos who have no wedding planner have many things to prepare.Most brides start with the small details.
The color or the design
Ladies are particular about color combinations.They will make sure that the flowers will perfectly match the dresses of the bride’s maids and the flower girls and that the small flower worn by the wedding host is in perfect combination with the whole design.
The souvenirs
Most Filipino brides make their own wedding souvenirs to give them away.They will buy the material and make the souvenirs themselves.They will spend their precious time to make them very attractive to their guests.They will be satisfied when their guests say,“Wow,I like it.” To them,it’s worth the hard work.
The wedding invitations
To prepare the invitations is a stressful job for the bride and the groom.They will start with the listings of all possible guests.It’s stressful because if their budget is good only for 50 people and the expected guests on the list is 100,there is a problem.Filipinos think their friends and relatives will feel bad if they do not receive an invitation;whether they can attend or not,they are expecting an invitation.Usually,the couple will stretch(尽力使用) their budget for the extras just not to disappoint friends and relatives.

2024 marked the 150th anniversary of when large numbers of Chinese started working on a huge project in the United States.They helped to build America’s first transcontinental railroad,connecting the East Coast with the West.
People know little about the Chinese railroad workers and what happened to them after the project was finished.Stanford University in California wants to learn more about the lives of these men by reaching out to their families.
Bill Yee’s ancestors came from southern China.He said,“My great-great-grandfather came to America during the ‘gold rush’ days and he returned back to China as a wealthy man.And then my great-grandfather came to work on the railroad and died there.”
But that did not stop his grandfather from coming to the US on false papers.He operated a laundry.Bill Yee’s father continued to run the business and has never returned to China.
“Things were pretty bad in some parts of China in the 1860’s.They came to America at all costs in order that they no longer had to bear hunger,” Bill Yee said.
Shelley Fisher Fishkin is helping to direct the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford University.She said,“Many of the Chinese workers who came to work on the transcontinental and other railroads returned to China after their work was done and created families there.Some of them settled in America and created new families,but they had families who they left when they came here and they may have descendants in China.”
There is a need to create a record of the object and spoken history from the families of the railroad workers.
“The US could not have become the modern industrial nation without the railroads.And the railroads would not have come together without the work of these Chinese workers,” said Fishkin.
1.What do we know about Bill Yee?
A.His family was rich in the 1860’s.
B.His father settled in the USA.
C.He knows little about his ancestors and hopes to know more.
D.His grandfather came to America with his great-grandfather.
2.According to Bill Yee,many Chinese went to America in the 1860’s mainly.
A.to run their own businesses
B.to find their ancestors
C.to make a living
D.to dig gold
3.According to Shelley Fisher Fishkin,.
A.the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers all live a good life
B.they expect to find all the descendants of the Chinese railroad workers
C.some Chinese railroad workers hope they can find their descendants in China
D.some Chinese railroad workers have descendants both in China and the US
4.Why did Stanford University carry out the project?
A.Because they want to help the Chinese railroad workers’ descendants to get together.
B.Because they want to show the importance of America’s first transcontinental railroad.
C.Because they want to learn more about how to build a railroad in the past in America.
D.Because they want Americans to remember the Chinese railroad workers’ role in US history.

【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过一个小男孩的故事告诉我们,如果有热情并且不停地努力的话就会有回报,相反,如果偷懒并且想走捷径的话就不要期望有相同的结果。
1.B obviously“明显地”;personally“亲自地,就自己而言”;luckily“幸运地”;quickly“迅速地,很快”。根据上下文可知,“我”本人更喜欢有激情和热情的人。
2.A 根据下文中的“You can teach and develop skills...”可知,此处用skills与talent并列。
3.C 分析语境可知此处意为“你能够学习并掌握技术,但你无法培养热爱生活和乐观的态度”。前后句为转折关系,故用but。
4.D choice“选择”;request“要求”;appearance“外貌,外观”;character“品质,特性”。根据常识可知,热情、乐观是一个人的性格特征。
5.C use“使用”;deserve“值得”;lose“丢失,丢掉”;cherish“珍惜”。此处意为“另外,那些还是一个人从一出生就具有,而且永远不会丢掉的特质。”故选C项。
6.D 此处由and连接,故空处前后意思应该一致或相近,又根据后文“an Independent Education and Career Planning Advisor”可知选teacher。
7.B 根据下文中的“Whenever I come across such people...”可知,“我”经常会遇到一些处于绝望中的人。come across“遇到,偶遇”。
8.A 结合上下文可知,此处意为“我遇见过很多孩子和年轻人,他们正处在绝望中,除非有人帮他们找到改变他们对于学习和生活本身的态度的方法”。A项符合语境。
9.B 社会造就了太多对待工作不够努力和用心的孩子和年轻人,这是不幸的。故此处选unfortunately“不幸地”。
10.C 根据下文中的“if you are...to put in consistent effort...”可知此处指付出努力和心思。put effort into sth.“对某事付出很大力气”。
11.B 此处or表并列,故用young与old并列。young or old“无论老幼”。
12.A 小男孩是去“小树林”摘蓝莓,A项符合语境。
13.C fill...with...意为“用……装满……”,此处指小男孩用大部分苔藓装满了篮子。
14.D 小男孩在篮子里放了大多数的苔藓,而只在上面铺了薄薄的一层蓝莓是为了让篮子看起来满满的,故用full。
15.B 此处意为“但是第二天他发现妈妈为他烤的蓝莓饼是苔藓做的”。此处pie应该与bake搭配。
16.C 通过上文所讲的故事可以看出作者想让读者“记住”下面的道理,故选remember“记住”。
17.D 作者想让读者记住的是“不管你是在上学还是工作,如果你有热情并且愿意把持久的努力和热情结合在一起,你将会收到回报”。
18.A willing“愿意的”;confident“自信的”;proud“骄傲的,自豪的”;careful“小心的”。be willing to do sth.“愿意做某事”。
19.D 分析上下文可知此处指前面的付出会有所“回报”。reward“报答,回报”。
20.A 此处意为“相反,如果你很懒并且想走捷径的话,那就不要期望有相同的回报。”故选lazy“懒惰的”。
