In China, certain types of food are given special meanings. Therefore, a type of food can only be eaten by some specific individuals on certain occasions, or must be served at special events.
In some regions, an honored guest would usually be offered a fish head, to greet him as a sign of warm welcome. Noodles are a symbol of longevity in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of the Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with candles is in many other countries. So that youngsters or seniors all will have a bowl of Long Life Noodles in the expectation of a healthy life. Since noodles symbolize long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut up a strand (根)。
Eggs hold a special symbolic importance in many cultures, and China is no exception. The Chinese believe that eggs symbolize rich. After the birth of a child, parents may hold a Red Egg and Ginger Party, where hard-boiled eggs are served to celebrate the birth. Egg rolls or spring rolls are like the shape of a bar of gold. Thus, they are often served at New Year, in the hope of encouraging wealth and prosperity （富足）in the coming year.
Fish also play a large role in festive celebrations. The Chinese word for “fish” sounds like the words for both “wish” and “rich”. As a result, on New Year’s Eve it is customary to serve fish for dinner, symbolizing the desire for the wealth, and for prosperity in the coming year. Furthermore, the fish should be served whole, with the head and tail still added, symbolizing a good beginning and ending of the coming year.
56. In some regions, what do you give to the honored guests in order to welcome them?
A. eggs B. fish C. fish head D. noodles
57. Which of the following is not right about food symbolism in China?
A. Eating cake with candles B. Eating long life noodles
C. Hard-boiled eggs D. The live fish
58 . Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

59. What is the meaning of the underline sentence?
A. In China, people are expected to eat eggs.
B. In China, eggs are also eaten.
C. In China, eggs are also used as a special food symbolism.
D. In China, many things hold special symbolism except eggs.

A husband-and-wife team from California reached the Pacific Ocean after a 4,900-mile cross-country walk, becoming the first to backpack the American Discovery Trail by walking.
Marcia and Ken Powers started the travel across 13 states, through 14 national parks and 16 national forests on Feb.27 from Delaware. Nearly eight months later, the excited couple walked through water into the Pacific Ocean, a day ahead of time.
“We are a little sad that a great adventure is over. It was a fantastic adventure. And now we go home and just do housework. It’s really sad, said Marcia, who is in her 50s. She and her 60-year-old husband traversed cities, desert, mountains and farmland before reaching the Pacific with arms around each other’s backpacks.
They overcame deep snow in the East, a quicksand in Utah, close lightning strikes in the Midwest and strong desert sandstorms in the West while averaging 22 miles a day and taking only four days’ rest. But they enjoyed the French history of St.Louis, the beauty of the Colorado Rockies and the kindness of strangers they met along the way.

It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. “Where are you going?” “Places.”“When will you be back?” “Sometime.” “Who will you be with?” “People.”
That means that the days of your children jumping in the front door with the details of their day are over. They are staying away from you so that they’ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children’s closeness. Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and build themselves confidently as a young adult, they’ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who they are right now, they need to separate from you.
Your job, however, is to keep them safe – and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with. Let them know clearly that it’s not because you want to control their life and control them ,it’s because it’s a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
When they’re at home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family chat, discuss a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs.
64. It can be learn from the passage that___.

A. Parents should understand their children.
B. Parents should keep their children safe.
C. Parents should open their hearts to their children.
D. Parents should give their children enough freedom.
67. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
