Some foreign friends share their tips on how to spend the Chinese New Year in China:

the Chinese and there are no other people I would rather spend my time(63)with.

※I(68)was/am impressed (impress)with the Spring Festival gala on CCTV though I don't understand Chinese well.It is one of the most(69)amazing (maze)TV shows from an artistic point of view.What's more,I like to go to temple fairs.I enjoyed some snack food,(70)which was nice for me first couple minutes until my hands started freezing and I could no longer use my chopsticks properly-my fingers were getting numb.

12.The more you give to others,the more you reap yourself.When you share what you know,you will find that you grow according to the number of seeds that you sow.Such is the one secret to be happier in life.
Spread cheer and teach others to do the same.People will gather around you to hear your wisdom,and feel your love.They will come to receive your sharing of what is inside you,all around you,and the messages coming from above.
Life is all about giving back.It is not about heartache or lack.Count your blessings every day.Put them in a stack that grows higher and higher,till it sets your spirit on fire with joy!
Life is good when you stand up for what you believe.When you enrich the world with your truth,then you will receive all that is good and wonderful.All that is grand will come to you,too.All it takes is living from your heart to understand how the cycle of giving and receiving works.Ah yes!You will discover endless perks!
For many people today,especially women who are socialized to give of themselves,and told they are selfish if they want to do something for themselves,the cycle of giving and receiving gets blocked.When a person gives and does not receive,then the energy flow gets cut off.
Every person must receive,as well as give.Nature intended for that balance in creating that particular flow.Now why would that giving and receiving be a natural law?Because all people need to open themselves to receiving.In receiving you tell yourself you are worthy and deserving of what life has to offer.

28.According to this passage,the author wants to tell usD.
A.Giving is more important than receiving
B.Receiving is more important than giving
C.Women need more receiving than giving
D.Giving and receiving is a natural law,and both are important
29.If you want to be popular with the people all around you,what should you do?D
A.Giving them whatever they want to get.
B.Dancing to the music to amuse them.
C.Sharing whatever you have with them.
D.Spreading cheer and teach others to do the same.
30.For the women who are giving,which sentence is right?C
A.They don't need receive or praise.
B.They are selfish if they want to do something for themselves.
C.They need receiving to encourage their energy to continue giving.
D.They can't understand the secret to be  happier in life.
31.The reason why receiving is important is thatD.
A.we living together is to receive our possessions.
B.life is all about giving back not receiving from others.
C.the more you give to others,the more you reap yourself.
D.you are worthy and deserving of what life has to offer.

I stared at Meghan for a long moment,(53)A how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.
It's easy to give what we don't want any more,but (54)C to give things we cherish to others,isn't it?(55)B,the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.
