Near the end of football season, schools usually hold a celebration called homecoming. Usually,
the celebration lasts a week and it features all sorts of activities such as dress up days, a parade, a
homecoming dance, and of course, the big football game. Often the former students of the school will
come back to watch the big game, so the name "homecoming".
Homecoming festivities usually start with Spirit Week. These are days when teachers and
students can come to school dressed up in a fun costume to fit in with the theme of the day. Once we
had "Dress as a Famous Person Day" and you saw people dressed as Lady Gaga, Harry Potter, and
many more. What made my day was seeing my Science teacher dressed up like Albert Einstein.
This is also time for people to start campaigning for Homecoming King and Queen. Boys and
girls are nominated by their peers to form the Homecoming Court consisting of 12 girls and 12 boys.
Students will usually recommend those that are involved in school activities, have good grades, and
girls that are pretty and boys that are handsome.
During my freshman year, something really touching happened. A girl named Erica really wanted
to be Homecoming Queen, but she didn't know what to do. She suffered from a disease called Down
syndrome (唐氏综合症) and had much difficulty in mental and physical growth. But her fellow
students were very supportive of Erica's goal because they described her as "a ray of sunshine" and
found her to be "an inspiration". When she was asked how her day was Erica would always respond
"Amazing ! " Finally, she ended up winning Homecoming Queen that year. It was certainly touching
to see that these girls would give up such an honor to help out a classmate.
The Homecoming Queen and King are announced on the Friday of homecoming week during
halftime of the big football game. It is the end of the celebration and the previous graduates of the
school can come and watch the festivities. After the game, there is a homecoming dance where the
students come together to celebrate. Sometimes the dance lasts until midnight!
24. Why is the celebration named Homecoming?

25. Erica's fellow students helped her to win Homecoming Queen because
A. she suffered from a serious disease B. she wanted to achieve her goal
C. she took an active part in school activities D. she was always positive about everything
26. What is involved in the Homecoming festivities?
A. A nursing day. B. A celebration parade.
C. A movie-making activity. D. A campaigning dance.
27. What can we learn about the Homecoming Court?

B. Something moving may happen in the campaign for King and Queen.
C. Many students recommend themselves to form the Court.
D. The Homecoming King and Queen are announced after the big game.

Once they reach a certain age, lots of women find motherhood exhausting, but not Brooklyn-
based Nina Keneally. The 63-year-old still has lots of “mothering skills" that she's actually more
than happy to rent out through a unique service called "Need A Mom". Her motto is "When you need
a mom---Just not YOUR mom. "
A former theatrical producer and drug-rehab (戒毒) adviser from Connecticut, Nina now
spends all her time using her motherhood experience and her associate degree in helping individuals
in New York. For $40 an hour plus expenses, Nina will listen to all your problems, offer advice
( free from "I told you so") ,help you plan and shop for a dinner party, sew your buttons back on,
bake you a cake, and do all sorts of other things a real mother might do. She'll even buy and wrap a
present for your actual mother.
Nina and her husband moved to Bushwick, Brooklyn, from Connecticut two years ago, after 30
years of raising their own two sons. And she realized early on that young adults back home were
different in many ways. " Nowadays young men have other goals-it's all about jobs, houses, permanent
relationships," she said. "They go into almost a young middle age. Here, it's a more dramatically
artistic lifestyle. " But more freedom also leads to more problems, and Nina often found herself giving
advice to young men who reached out to her in yoga studios and cafes.
"As I started to live in the neighborhood, do yoga and frequent coffee shops, I've noticed that a
lot of young people in the neighborhood wanted to talk to me about what was going on in their lives,"
she told Bushwick Daily. Like this one man who was upset over losing a job and ended up pouring
his heart out to Nina over a cup of coffee. She ended up rewriting his resume (简历) . Soon, so many
young people were approaching her that Nina realized she could really help them by being a mother
-figure in their lives. And that's how Need A Mom was born. It's a fairly new business and she's had
about six customers so far, all from Bushwick.

Christmas Day is for eating, drinking, watching bad TV - and trying to cover up your
embarrassment as you realize your husband's Aunt Maude has spent her pension on your present
while you bought her a set of Christmas cards.
Present-buying can be a minefield: from how much to spend, to whether to risk surprising
receivers with a gift they don't want, to knowing if you should buy your neighbor you only say hello to
a little something.
Here, FEMAIL has asked experts for their top tips on how to select present to ensure the only
thing that's red this Christmas is Santa Claus' nose.
"If you've just started seeing someone you don't need to spend a fortune," says dating advisor
James Preece.
"It's much better to impress them with your imagination by choosing a gift that's a little bit
different. ~20 is about the right amount, with a maximum of ~50 if you can afford it. "
Or you don't even need to go that far, says relationship expert and founder of BeLoveCurious.
com, Helen Rice. Plan to spend a romantic evening together or have a fun day out. Feel free to give
the person you're dating something thoughtful, just don't spend a lot of money. "
"If you're in a long -term relationship then your budget really reflects on your personal
situation," adds James. " You don't need to go crazy, but it's a great opportunity to show you love
and appreciate them.
"It's also best to buy a few cheaper presents rather than one big one. Part of the fun is the
mystery and unwrapping, so it will last longer if you give them several to enjoy. "

Everyone wants to become a better person, but many of us don't know what to do. 36 But I
think everyone deserves respect and can become a better person. If you really want it, you can change
yourself and your habits by taking a few little steps described below.
●Pursue your passion. It's important to find yourself and pursue your passion. Learn to listen to
your inner self, even when someone is trying to bring you down. Some people try to bring you down
because they're too weak and cowardly to pursue their passions and they don't think you should
pursue yours. Don't listen to them. Spend time with yourself and think about the thing that brings you
joy. 37
● 38 Another important thing to do to be a better person is to learn how to keep your dignity.
Keep in mind that only you'
