The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year，but it’s always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.
But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection（复活）from the dead. Most people color Easter eggs. Some people hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs，they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world. People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny (兔子).But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria (保加利亚), red Easter eggs are lucky in churches. Bulgarian families also hit these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The winner looks forward to good fortune that year. Still dozens of other Easter traditions exist. In parts of Austria，for example，children sing from door to door and are rewarded with colorful eggs.

Jack Buzzi looked out the window during the worst of the storm. He saw something horrifying(吓人的): his neighbor’s house was floating by on floods. Part of the top floor had broken off, and the rest of the house was in a mess. At the same time, Buzzi was on the phone with his friend Jack Ward, whose sister Kathey Ward, 60, owned the house. The men feared that Kathey was in danger.
Buzzi hung up the phone, threw on boots and a raincoat, and took a flashlight and two life jackets. During a pause of the storm, Buzzi mad his way through knee-high water toward what remained of Kathey’s house. He tried to yell to Kathey over the howling wind, but she didn’t respond. “The roof had fallen apart,” Buzzi said.“I thought she was dead.”
He made his way back home and called Jack again. Jack told him he had finally reached his sister on the phone. She was trapped but uninjured. Buzzi headed back into the storm and found her standing on a piece of wooden board that had been part of a doorway on the second floor of her home. “She was surprisingly calm,” says Buzzi.
“I knew you would come,” Kathey said. She’d been sitting in the only room of the house that didn’t get broken apart when the roof fell. Buzzi gave her a life jacket and escorted(护送) her through the falling water around his house.
The next morning, Buzzi and Kethey used a kayak(皮艇) to rescue Kathey’s sister Mary Ward and Mary’s boyfriend, Dave O’Hara, who’d been trapped in the top floor of Mary’s flooded house.
“It’s human nature, right?” he says. “We protect each other.”
24. Why did Jack Buzzi think Kathey was dead in the storm?
A. Because her house was floating on floods.
B. Because Jack Ward couldn’t reach her on the phone.
C. Because the top floor of her house had fallen apart.
D. Because the doorway on the second floor had broken off.
25. What does the underlined word “reached” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?

iPhone 6, which many people have been thirsty for, will be unveiled(揭幕) on September 9. It could go on sale to the public from Friday, September 19.
Apple has launched a new iPhone every year since it unveiled the range in 2007, selling more than 500m units since then, and has traditionally launched key products in September.
The iPhone 6, Apple’s ninth iPhone model, is expected to be released in two different sizes:4.7-inches and 5.5-inches. The smaller of the two will be available first. Like iPhone5, the new model will come in silver , gold and space grey.
The iPhone 6 will be powered by new operating system iOS 8. Through iOS8, users will be able to monitor(监控) their health and fitness via HealthKit. HealthKit puts together numerous healthcare and fitness apps, such as blood pressure and heart rate monitors through partners including Nike, and allows them to communicate with each other.
Users will be able to control home appliances and other connected devices through HomeKit, Apple’s connected home framework. Similar to HealthKit, this app will organize your smart devices to control them in one place. One method of control will be via Siri-for example, you could tell Siri you were “going to bed”, and it could dim the lights, lock your doors, close the garage door and set the room temperature.
With the introduction of both of these key features, it’s likely the iPhone 6 will take on even more of a lifestyle device role. It is designed to organize our lives and make everyday tasks easier and more efficiently completed.
Suppliers are believed to be preparing to produce up to 80m of the new handsets by the end of December, according to the Wall Street Journal. In July, Apple announced strong financial results for its third quarter, with significant sales growth in China and profits ahead of expectations at $7.7bn.
27. If you are a customer, when can you buy an iPhone6?
A. After December 31. B. From September 19.
C. After September 9. D. At the moment.
28. Who could Siri be according to the passage?
A. It is a door keeper. B. It is a health kit.
C. It is an app of iPhone 6. D. It is an intelligent button on the wall.
29. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Apple has the most advanced technology in the world.
B. iPhones enjoy increasing popularity in China.’
C. Apple is the third biggest mobile phone producer in the world.
D. Chinese people buy more iPhones than people in other countries.
30. What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A. iPhone 6 will make more money than ever.
B. iPhone 6 has the most advanced technology.
C. iPhone 6 will enjoy great popularity around the world.
D. iPhone 6’s new features will make people’s life easier.
