We call the Chinese New Year the Spring Festival（春节）. There is a name for each Chinese year. We may call it the year of the sheep , the year of the monkey or the year of the dog. And this year is the year of the horse.
Before New Year’s Day, people are busy shopping and cleaning their houses. On New Year’s Eve, there is a big family dinner. After dinner, all the family stay up late to welcome the New Year. On the first day of the New Year, people put on their new clothes and go to visit their friends and relatives（亲戚）. They say “good luck” and some other greetings to each other. People usually have a very good time during the festival.
【小题1】How many Chinese festivals are talked about (谈论）in this passage ?

We each have a memory(记忆力). That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
　　A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one can , because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects , too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.
