School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason.It wasn't long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches.In February a 1.7-inch tumor（腫瘤）was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation（放射療法）treatments.Before treatments start，technicians make a white plastic mask（面罩）to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
   It's an unpleasant experience and a frightening time.The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun—maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. "I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids，" she told The Greenville News. "I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them，they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment." Because the kids are afraid.While the treatment itself isn't physically painful，it can cause a lot of anxiety.And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks.And the masks really make a difference. "The kids really like them，" Cook said. "It makes what is，let's face it，a terrible experience，a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves."
   When new children come in for the treatment，Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are.Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper，sticking it with glue，and once it's dry，she applies the colors using paints.Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
   "Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain.I wanted to make it fun，" she said. "The kids really love it.It's something they enjoy and can relate to.And it fills an interest I have.I get great pleasure from it."

2．When Mark Levine，an English-language instructor at Beijing's Minzu University of China，was first invited to attend a Chinese colleague's wedding in Jiangsu province in 2017，his second year in China，the California native was ready to present a small decorative gift for the new couple as he used to do in the United States．
   However，his gesture suddenly didn't seem proper as he realized the Chinese at the ceremony had red envelopes filled with cash to present rather than a packed gift．
   "It's a little bit embarrassing when you present something that people didn't expect to receive on certain occasions，" Levine，who used to be a social worker in the US，told China Daily recently．
   "In the US，people do that as well but only for close relatives．People would normally give things as presents，while here in China red envelopes are more commonly welcomed．"
   It was the first time the 66-year-old discovered the ceremony-including taboos（禁忌）-in gift giving．He was not alone，as the recent argument following a British minister's visit to Taipei，Taiwan，revealed．
   British Minister of State for Transport Baroness Susan Kramer presented a watch in January to Ko Wen-je，mayor of Taipei，when she visited the city，immediately sparking headlines as she broke a long-held taboo in Chinese culture．
  A clock or watch，or zhong in Mandarin，signifies "the end" in Chinese，and many associate it with death．Therefore，giving someone，especially an elder，a clock or watch implies "your time is up"．
   Kramer later apologized for the gaffe（失禮），but Ko was also blamed for his "rude" response as he told reporters that he had no use for the watch and would sell it for cash．
   However，some foreigners in China，such as Mark Dreyer，support Ko in this particular debate． "When I heard about the story，I felt embarrassed，" said Dreyer，a British citizen who has lived and worked in China since 2007． "After all， 'don't give clocks or watches to your hosts' is on page 1 of most China travel guides．I'm embarrassed by the lack of respect shown by the British for not even reading about the customs ahead of time．"

（1）What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph3 refer to？

A．Presenting gifts．
B．Giving cash．
C．Attending weddings．
D．Receiving money．
（2）How did the public view Ko's response to the gift？

A．They considered it a smart move．
B．They believed he had no other choice．
C．They saw it as a rudeness．
D．They thought it proper．
（3）What was Dreyer's attitude to the British Minister's gift？

A．Negative．
B．Supportive．
C．Positive．
D．Doubtful．
（4）What can we learn from the passage？

A．Presenting red envelopes is a bad custom in China．
B．British know nothing about Chinese customs．
C．Americans don't expect to receive cashes as gifts．
D．Chinese don't expect to receive clocks as gifts．

3．People in Brazil mark Carnival（狂歡節(jié)）every year and it is considered to be one of the most important national holidays.It is not about a big moment in history or a famous person，but it is important for the people because it is a time of friendship，freedom，and many days without work.People can choose between parties and rest.Most people choose parties，day after day，night after night.
   Carnival is celebrated forty days earlier than Easter，but it is not recognized by the church.It lasts four days and four nights.People put on their holiday clothes and go out into the streets or to clubs to enjoy themselves together.
   There are also some celebration activities.For instance，samba schools make a parade showing their music and beautiful cars.They are followed by people.Every year the parade tells a different story，and each city has one or more schools like this.
   In the south the celebration of Carnival comes back to normal by Wednesday.The problem is that it is not recognized by the church in the northwest where the Carnival is more traditional.There，people do not respect its end and continue to party until the next Sunday.
   Carnival is my favorite holiday，but I do not agree that the party should keep going.Like at other popular parties，people drink，dance and have fun.Unfortunately，some people are not very responsible and give it a bad name，leaving a bad impression of this holiday，but it is the only national holiday that brings the whole country and its different people and cultures together.
