三、閱讀理解（每題 2 分，共 30 分）
A
In the United States, people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you something on the table, when someone opens the door for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It's not polite to interrupt (打斷) others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking.

Do you know that in some parts of the world, people build temporary (暫時(shí)的) hotels made of snow and blocks (大塊) of ice? These are known as ice hotels.
Unlike usual hotels, all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice. In some ice hotels, even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks. So they only serve cold drinks. Also, hot food is not served in the ice hotels, but guests can eat hot food at places nearby.
To keep warm, guests sleep in comfortable sleeping bags on ice - made beds. Special ice rooms are built for guests who want to have a really special experience. These rooms are filled with snow and ice, and they can be used for a short time only.
Ice hotels are popular among travelers because they are strange and special. But they don't last long. The ice begins to melt (融化) when the weather gets warm. So ice hotels are built every year.

Dear David,
I'm glad to hear from you. You said you were interested in the Spring Festival in China. Now, let me tell you something about it.
The Spring Festival usually comes in January or February. Before it arrives, we clean our houses to sweep away bad luck and make our homes look new. We also go shopping to buy new clothes and delicious food. And we put up Spring Festival couplets on the doors to bring good luck.
During the Spring Festival, we have a big dinner with our family on New Year's Eve. After that, we often watch the Spring Festival Gala together. On the first day of the new year, we visit our relatives and friends, saying “Happy New Year” to each other.
I really love the Spring Festival. It's a time for family reunion and a chance to enjoy happiness with our loved ones.
Looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
