On Nov. 11, there is a holiday created by Chinese people for singles (单身人士). It is known as Singles’ Day. But now it has become the biggest online shopping day in the world. Tmall, Taobao and many other online shopping sites have huge sales on this day to attract shoppers. This year’s sales reached 253.97 billion yuan.
There are similar shopping days in the United States as well. The most famous of these is Black Friday. It always falls on the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. On this day, stores will have specials, just like on Singles’ Day in China.
On Black Friday, shoppers will often wake up very early to wait in line at stores before they open. They might start to wait in line as early as 2 or 3 am. Sometimes the crowds will be so big that it is impossible to get inside the store.
Another similar holiday is Cyber (网络的) Monday. This day always falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving. It is like Singles’ Day, since it is only for online shopping.
Personally, I don’t like any of these holidays. They place too much importance on buying things. I prefer to celebrate Buy Nothing Day. It is a “holiday” that falls on the same day as Black Friday. It is an international day of protest (抗议) to the problem of over-consumption (消费过度). What do you think about these holidays?
34. What holiday is on Nov. 11 ?
A. Thanksgiving. B. Black Friday. C. Singles’ Day D. Buy Nothing Day.
35. On Black Friday, people usually ____________.
A. get up early and wait in front of stores B. stay at home to have good luck
C. stay up late to shop online D. get together to celebrate the holiday
36. What is the author’s attitude(态度)toward these shopping holidays?
A. He doesn’t say anything about these holidays.
B. He prefers to celebrate these holidays on other days.
C. He likes these holidays and celebrates them every year.
D. He thinks they can cause the problem of over-consumption.
37. What is the story mainly about?
A. To call on people to save money.
B. To introduce Singles’ Day in China.
C. To talk about ways of holiday celebration.
D. To introduce some famous shopping festivals.
C
These days, tall modern buildings are rising everywhere. But if you go to a Chinese water town, you can still take a trip back in time. CNN has picked China’s five most beautiful water towns.
The village of Zhouzhuang in Jiangsu calls itself the “oldest water town in China”. The village was built in 1086 and is crossed with canals (运河). Taking a boat ride through town, the red lanterns might make you think of China’s romantic past.
Hongcun in Anhui is 900 years old. It was built to look like a big ox (牛). Mount Huangshan is the head; the town is the body and the bridges are legs. Hongcun is filled with lakes and beautiful Anhui-style buildings.
Fenghuang in Hunan doesn’t look like a bird. But its name means “phoenix” in Chinese. The town is really as beautiful as the mythical (神话的) bird. The Tuojiang River and the stilted(吊脚) buildings on both sides look like a postcard.
Huangyao in Guangxi is known for its natural feng shui. The town lies in a river bend (河湾). People say it can stop the villagers’ good luck from going away.
While most water towns are in the south, Shandong’s Tai’erzhuang stands out in the north. The town lies on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It was a busy trade center during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). In the town, there are ancient bridges, canal and temples, making you think of its wonderful past.
