　　For Chinese, it's a time for the Dragon Boat racing and Zongzi（粽子）. But across the Yellow Sea, South Korea, wrestling（摔跤）and swing play are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name--the Dragon Boat Festival--which falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar.

　　One festival, two cultures: does one nation have the right to call it its own? It has been reported that South Korea will apply（申請）to the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization（UNESCO 聯(lián)合國教科文組織）to make the celebration its cultural heritage（文化遺產(chǎn)）. If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Boat Festival as a Korean creation.

　　As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2 000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. “It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China,” said Zhou Heping, deputy culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.

　　Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of local culture.

　　With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue about which country the festival belongs to. “No one can deny that it came from China,” said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province. “But if all the countries involved can protect culture heritage together,they will all benefit.”

(1)The underlined word “highlights” can be probably replaced by “________”

[　　]

A．most exciting events

B．highest lights on the building

C．brightest lights at night

D．most famous festivals

(2)It can be inferred that South Korea _______.

[　　]

A．has proclaimed（宣布）the Dragon Boat Festival as a part of its cultural heritage

B．has the exactly same Dragon Boat Festival as China

C．has no idea that China has such a festival

D．is paying more attention to its cultural heritage than China

(3)China is not happy with the situation because _____.

[　　]

A．it created the festival

B．it is also making an application

C．South Korea has no right to call the festival its own

D．UNESCO may approve（批準）South Korea's application

(4)If South Korea's application to UNESCO is successful, _______.

[　　]

A．China will also make its own application to UNESCO

B．it will be meaningless to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival

C．people from other parts of the world will think South Korea created the fes tival

D．the Dragon Boat Festival will become part of local culture

閱讀理解

　　Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet fighter pilot in Viet Nam．After 75 missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile．Plumb parachuted down into enemy hands．He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison．

　　One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man from another table came up and said“You're Plumb!You flew jet fighters in Viet Nam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk．You were shot down!”

　　“How in the world did you know that?”asked Plumb．

　　“I packed your parachute,”the man replied．“I guess it worked”．Plumb assured him,“It sure did．If your chute(降落傘)hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today．”

　　Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man．Plumb says,“I kept wondering what he looked like in a Navy uniform：a white hat, a bib in the back, and bell-bottom trousers．I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said‘Good morning．How are you?’or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was‘just a sailor’”．

　　Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds(傘罩)and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't know．

　　Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important．We may fail to say hello, please, thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason．As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachutes．

(1)

Why didn't Plumb say hello to the sailor each time he passed him on the Kitty Hawk?

[　　]

A．

He thought the sailor was just an unimportant man．

B．

He didn't like him at that time．

C．

He was very busy then．

D．

He didn't know him well then．

(2)

What did the sailor do on the Kitty Hawk at the Viet Nam War?

[　　]

A．

weaved clothes for the pilots．

B．

repaired the wooden table in the ship．

C．

helped the jets start．

D．

packed the parachutes for the fighter pilots．

(3)

What does the writer think we should do?

[　　]

A．

We should help each other if they are in trouble．

B．

We shouldn't look down upon the sailors．

C．

We should be thankful to others' help．

D．

We should be honest to our friends．

(4)

Which is the best title for the passage?

[　　]

A．

A story about a sailor．

B．

Who pack your parachutes?

C．

Don't forget your past!

D．

Never forget your friends!
