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 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 hotels made of snow and blocks 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 when the weather gets warm. So ice hotels are built every year.

Dear Tom,
I'm so glad to know that you are interested in the Dragon Boat Festival, one of the most important traditional festivals in China.
The Dragon Boat Festival usually falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It is in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet in ancient China. He was so loyal to his country but was unfairly treated. In the end, he drowned himself in the Miluo River.
During the festival, there are various activities. Eating zongzi is a must. Zongzi is a kind of delicious rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves. Besides, dragon boat races are exciting and popular, especially in southern China. People cheer for the teams, and the atmosphere is really lively.
I really love this festival. It not only allows me to enjoy traditional food but also makes me feel the strong bonds among family and the charm of Chinese culture.
I hope you can come to China to experience it someday. Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Li Hua
