Ⅱ 阅读理解
People usually celebrate their traditional festival. The Spring Festival is celebrated not only in China but also in other parts of the world. The traditional holiday is the most important to Chinese both home and abroad.
United Kingdom
Celebrations for Spring Festival in the UK started in 1980, with the first evening party held in 2002. Every New Year, people get together and have a lot of activities. They sing songs, dance to music, share photos with friends or enjoy films in a cinema.
United States
Spring Festival is an important time for Chinese living or working in the US. They join in a large evening party to welcome the traditional New Year. It is a good chance for people to feel that they are not alone because they share the same culture.
Australia
On Chinese New Year, many people across Australia come to Sydney's Chinatown. They enjoy fireworks, lion dances, dragon boat races and many other traditional activities. The celebrations are also a bridge towards better understanding between Chinese and nonChinese.
Singapore
The family dinner on New Year's Eve is an important tradition for Chinese. They put traditional food on a table as an act of remembering their past. Then the whole family enjoys their dinner together. They usually have it at home because having it in a restaurant takes away the meaning of the tradition.

Ⅲ 概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
That Special Moment Between
Mother and Daughter, over Baklava
Lately, following the most recent fall a month ago, my 90yearold mother has been more and more quiet and sleepy. For a person who by everyone's accounts walk, moves and talks a mile a minute and is a firecracker of a personality, this is very odd.
At the same time, my 92yearold father has been suffering his own health problems. My father says she was still talkative until a couple of weeks ago and now is no longer like that.
The other day, I recalled how my mother used to visit a woman named Mrs Demopolis, who made the best baklava! She gave lessons on baking them to my mother and as a 4yearold, I thoroughly enjoyed these visit and the treat I inevitably ended up with! Also, my mother took to baking baklava often for a time and that was sheer pleasure. As I spoke of this over the phone, my silent mother perked up and said how much she'd like to have one again.
Now, they live in Florida and I live in Wales, UK, so I can't sadly pop over and bring her some baklava or even make some in her kitchen. But what I did suggest was that my father or sister could buy them some baklava at a Greek Restaurant and I could do the same, and wouldn't it be fun to eat our baklava at exactly the same time and so be together sharing the moment and the pleasure? Both parents loved the idea and we resolved to do it.
Two days later we both had our baklava and shared the experience while our husbands took a picture. It meant a lot to my parents, and to me, to do this. We both had authentic and delicious baklava and shared the moment.
My mother said she wants to do this again, maybe with another food or even baklava again! Why not? And as she only weighs 85 lbs and keeps losing instead of gaining, it is good for her to find foods that appeal to her appetite.
It is becoming harder to find ways to communicate over the phone, but this was at least a very yummy way to do so. And it was nice, as well, to evoke pleasant memories of our past.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。食物的美妙之处不仅在于味道，对于有些人来说或许还有特别的感情。
