As long as it is meaningful for me, I will celebrate it with my boyfriend, and my parents! I like Western festivals and often celebrate them without even knowing the origins of them. Why? Because what I really appreciate is just the happy atmosphere.SharkMinnow (Canada)Western Festivals are more like parties or games for some Chinese. Also, spending money is good for economy. Most Chinese dont take Western festivals as seriously as their own. Its like a game or party in my eyes. A way to blow off steam and have fun (and spend money).Travis (UK)As an Englishman teaching here in China for two years, my friends have got used to and enjoy celebrating my festivals. My school also likes it as well, although this year they asked me not to scare the teachers so much on Halloween. My Chinese friends enjoy taking part in my festivals, as they also learn more about my culture, and the history that goes with itLeesinchina (US)Cherish your own festivals. It would be a pity if the Chinese accepted these Western days First, because they have absolutely nothing to do with traditional Chinese culture. Second, they are a big trick by the big stores to get more money out of you.

With a few simple lifestyle changes, you can create a healthy sleep environment that helps improve your sleep quality. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Studies show that people who do so are more rested than those who sleep irregularly (不规律地). Go to sleep only when you start to feel sleepy. If you dont fall asleep within about 15 minutes, get up and do something relaxing. Go back to bed when you are tired. Pay attention to what you eat and drink. Dont go to bed either hungry or stuffed. Your discomfort might keep you up. Avoid caffeine (咖啡因) 6 hours before you sleep. Having a cup of coffee within a few hours of bed time can keep you awake for hours when you are trying to sleep. Coffee isnt the only product containing caffeine. Avoid chocolate and tea, too. Also limit how much you drink before bed to prevent trips to the toilet at night. Many people turn on the TV before they go to bed. TV influences your natural sleep habits by making you stay up longer than you usually would, especially if you are watching something exciting. Instead of turning on the TV, read a book. Light reading before bed can help you fall into a deep sleep quickly. If you suffer from serious sleep problems, go to your doctor. Your doctor will help treat the problems or may advise you to see a sleep specialist.28What should you do to make sure you have a good sleep at weekends according to the text?AGet up a bit later than usual.BGo to bed at a regular time.CWatch some relaxing TV programs.DAvoid drinking coffee or tea in the day.29What does the author advise you to do if you cant fall asleep after lying in bed for 15 minutes?ATo drink some water.BTo do some light reading.CTo listen to light music.DTo get up and relax.30What does the underlined word “stuffed” in Paragraph 4 mean?AHaving slept too much.BHaving eaten too much.CFeeling too sad.DFeeling too tired.31What does the text mainly talk about?AWhat to do before going to bed.BThe importance of sleeping well.CHow to improve your sleep quality.DThe effect of sleeping well.DSince springing up in 2008, Chinese SNS(社交网络软件) websites have been growing rapidly. While building perfect and complete platforms, SNS websites have been attracting a greatly increasing number of users as well as enormous advertisers attention. The birth of SNS websites brought us a new concept of socializing online using ones real identity（身份）. Furthermore, the popularity of SNS websites has made real-identity online interaction (相互作用) a daily routine for almost all the Internet users. Blogs, photos, virtual gifts, games and other SNS applications have increased real emotional interaction among Internet users. Obviously, real-identity online communication has become a major competitive advantage of SNS websites. Many experts conclude that SNS websites have created a network of real socializing and have solved peoples daily problems in communication. Therefore, solving real life issues and keeping friendly interpersonal relationship are the critical factors that ensure the survival and growth of SNS websites. Data report shows that Renren. com has helped 63 users find a friend every second during the whole year of 2009 and created a billion friendships. In addition, celebrities, institutions and organizations have gradually become members of SNS websites. Information sharing becomes more diverse, and the emergence (出现) of social games satisfies users need for interactive entertainment. By gaining users in 2009, the SNS profit model has gradually grown clearer. According to the CNNIC annual report, 80% of SNS profit comes from Internet advertisement, 15% from VAS and another 5% from other sources. As the real marketing value of SNS was discovered by more businesses, many successful partnerships emerged. Advertising professions believe that the foundational qualities of SNS include participation, interaction, self-expression, and emotional communication. These qualities are the basis of SNS marketing activities, and they will promote the birth of more marketing models.32Hows the performance of the SNS website since it appeared in China?AIts competing hard with its overseas competitors.BUsers have found nothing special about it.CIts been well-received and growing rapidly.DIt hasnt been making profit yet.33The most important change made by SNS websites to online communication is that _.Aits the quickest way for users to communicateBusers need to use their real identity to communicateCits regarded as the best way to make friends with strangersDit offers more diverse services such as virtual gifts and mini games34What are the key factors for the growth of SNS websites?AThe real identity communication and maintenance of interpersonal relationship.BSNS websites have convenient user interface (用户界面) .CIts both entertaining and helps people to make more friends.DIts accessible through both computer and hand-held devices.35SNS websites make money _.Amainly by selling advertising positionsBthrough a number of new waysCthrough cooperating with online storesDby charging users when they register on the website第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Should We Create More National Parks to Save Endangered Animals?Dont you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct? 36 And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks. 37 If this environment is destroyed for example, when farmers clear a forest for new fields, or trees are cut down for making money many animals are unable to survive, and more species are likely to become extinct.In addition, national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted. A major reason why many species are endangered is that the animals are killed by hunters. They hunt animals to make money. 38 On the other hand, some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it wrong to interfere with nature. They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment. 39 They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.All in all, though, these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks. 40 As a matter of fact, they protect animals from their greatest enemies, that is, human beings.AThey say though the animals may face danger, they enjoy a free life.BFirstly, national parks protect the animals from natural environment.CTo begin with, animals are important to humans.DI personally believe that we must save these animals.EThere is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.FThese parks allow animals to live in a safe environment.GSome hunters even hunt animals simply for sport.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题l分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Grandma is ninety this Christmas.
