Have you ever wondered why our Easter celebrations include bunnies，brightly colored eggs，baskets filled with bite-size candy,and a banquet of ham or lamb? In fact, most of our Easter traditions are rooted in Christian faith and early religions．Here's a brief history lesson on customs．

Easter Bunny(复活节兔子)

The Easter Bunny—a．k．a Osterhase(German)or Oschter Haws(Dutch)—made its U．S．debut when German and Dutch settlers arrived in colonial Pennsylvania villages during the1700s．Pre—Christian Germans honored an Anglo-Saxon goddess，Eostre，who represented the rising of a new sun season．It’s believed that she had a hare as a companion that represented fertility(生育力)and rebirth．

Easter Basket

Similar to the meaning of leaving cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve，children would leave homemade nests in which the Easter Bunny could lay its colored eggs．Over time，this tradition turned into decorated Easter baskets filled with fake grass，chocolate candy and jellybcans．

Easter Eggs

Christians(基督徒)don’t eat meat and eggs for 40 days in preparation for spiritual update．On Easter Sunday,red colored eggs decorated tables to promote the joy of a new season and represent Jesus’blood on the cross．The colored egg tradition may also have roots in spring festivals，in which eggs were decorated，colored and exchanged as celebrations of spring．

Ham

You know block-eyed peas bring luck on New Year’s Day, but what if we told you a pig had much the same effect? The pig was considered a symbol of luck in pre-Christian Europe，and early Christians were said to have continued this tradition，making it the centre of meals on significant holidays like Christmas and Easter．

If we took a poll on eating ham or lamb on Easter,we’d likely be a country divided．

21．What does the passage mainly focus on?

A．Easter presents． B．Easter beliefs．

C．Easter customs． D．Easter food．

22．Why do people exchange colored eggs on Easter Festival?

A．To welcome the coming of spring．

B．To attract visitors．

C，To decorate tables．

D．To invite Santa Claus．

23．What did“the pig”represent in pre-Christian Europe?

A．Good effect． B．Luck． C．Old tradition．D．Easter culture．

I have a memory of being about five years old，picking up a beautiful grilled(烧烤的) cheese sandwich made for me by my hard—working mother and turning it over to see that the other side was burned．Suddenly，what I thought was the perfect sandwich was not so perfect．Mom had tried to hide that fact from me．There was no question；I ate it anyway without complaining．However，that moment has stuck in my mind for many years．Now，at the age of 43 as a mother of two children and as a biology professor where I am routinely the“academic mother”of hundreds of students every year，I find that I believe in The Grilled Cheese Principle．Here is what I mean．

Making a grilled cheese sandwich is easy，right?But when I think of how many burned grilled cheese sandwiches I have eaten，or I have made myself,I realize that most of the grilled cheese sandwiches I have known have had at least one burned side．The thing is that although it is a relatively easy thing to make I can also easily lose focus，and before long the sandwich is burned．For my mother，the first side was usually perfect and the second side got burned due to her being distracted．For me，I have tended to burn the first side，but then I more carefully monitor the second side．Either way，the grilled cheese sandwich suffers because it has not been given the attention it deserves．

So，I have learned that even the simplest task deserves my full attention．When I am multi-tasking，I am doing none of the tasks well．And when I allow myself to be distracted，I am not in the present moment—not paying attention to the small details of living or enjoying the process．

So now，I believe the best way to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich is to make only one at a time and give it my full attention．

24．How did the writer react to the sandwich with burned side?

A．He ate it with full complaints．

B．He showed no interest．

C．He thought it was still perfect．

D．He was deeply impressed with it．

25．What does The Grilled Cheese Principle mean?

A．Even simple things deserve full attention．

B．Losing focus makes the sandwich burned．

C．Self-made sandwiches are always burned．

D．we should make only one sandwich at a time．

26．Which one can replace the underlined word“monitor”?

A．serve B．watch C．burn D．sell

27．What does the writer want to tell us?

A．Never do multi-tasks．

B．Learn to appreciate the burned sandwiches．

C．Nothing is perfect．

D．Devote yourself to one thing at a time．

Mothers of kids with disabilities might be more forgetful，as they age than other mothers， according to a new study．And mothers with a strong support system，a sense of control and a history of regular exercise kept sharper than the other mothers．However, fathers of disabled children did not differ from fathers of non-disabled children in memory skills as they aged．

That’s not surprising，considering past research that has shown parents with disabled kids tend to feel more stressed and to have more psychological problems like depression．In the study, parents were tested on memory and fluency,reasoning,working memory and ability to switch their attention．Physical health，physical activity,depression，sense of control，social support and negative parenting experience were also included．

The mothers of disabled kids tended to be much more depressed，in worse physical health and to feel they had less of a sense of control than mothers without disabled kids．For instance， 18 percent of mothers of disabled children reported having been depressed in the 12 months prior to the study, compared with 7 percent of mothers without disabled kids．Mothers of disabled children also had less support from friends than women without disabled children．Besides，among the women with disabled children，being more educated and having more social support were linked to significantly better memory ants thinking．

Fathers with disabled kids had more negative parenting experiences than fathers whose kids were not disabled．The researchers did not have information about the severity(严重)of the children’s disabilities，their ages，or about any disabilities or other health problems among the parents．They acknowledge in their report that because they only looked at one point in time， they cannot say whether parenting a disabled child caused the memory differences they observed．

28．What is NOT included in the new study?

A．Memory and fluency． B．Working experience．

C．Social support． D．Physical health．

29．What is true of mothers of disabled kids?

A．They have sharper minds．

B．They easily have physical problems．

C．They don’t exercise at a11．

D．They have no sense of control．

30．What can you know about the new study?

A．It doesn’t involve fathers．

B．It is mainly on physical disabilities．

C．It calls for further research．

D．It is aimed to help the disabled kids．
