The Spring Festival is celebrated not only in China but also in other parts of the world. The traditional holiday is the most important to Chinese both home and abroad.

United Kingdom
Celebrations for the Spring Festival in the UK started in 1980, with the first evening party held in 2002. Every New Year, people get together and have a lot of activities. They sing songs, dance to music, share photos with friends or enjoy films in a cinema.

United States
The Spring Festival has become a key time for Chinese living or working in the US. They join in a large evening party to welcome the traditional New Year. It is a good chance for people to build a circle of friends and feel that they are not alone because they share the same culture and values.

Australia
The Chinese New Year will be welcomed with three weeks of celebrations across Australia. Many people come to Sydney’s Chinatown or Little Bourke in Melbourne. They enjoy fireworks, lion dances, dragon boat races and many other traditional activities. The celebrations are also a bridge towards better understanding between Chinese and non-Chinese.

Singapore
The family dinner on New Year’s Eve is an important tradition for Chinese whether they were born in Singapore or moved there from China.

Should More Cities Make It Illegal (不合法) to Text While Crossing the Street?
Hawaii, the U.S., recently passed a law making it illegal to text or look down at mobile phones while crossing the street. It is the first major U.S. city with a law like this. Do you think more places should pass such a law? Here are some ideas.

Sally, Seoul, South Korea
We should make it illegal in more cities because texting while walking can be dangerous. If you are looking at your phone while walking, you might not see a car come or the traffic light turn red.

Andrew, Sydney, Australia
I disagree because we have the right to make our own decisions. The government needs to stop telling us what to do. After all, this is a free country. And police need a lot of time to catch real criminals (犯人).

Madeline, Paris, France
This law is a good idea. If this law goes into effect in more cities, people will be upset. But is there really a way to please everyone? This would not be for fun. It would be for the benefit and safety of all the people.

Anjali, Tokyo, Japan
People do many things that cause injury (伤害) to themselves but are not illegal. People might get hurt from texting while walking if they're not paying attention. But I still think they should have a choice.



【1】_________ recently passed a law making it illegal to text while crossing the street.
A. Seoul B. Sydney C. Hawaii D. Paris
【2】What does Sally think of texting while walking?
A. Common. B. Dangerous. C. Strange. D. Unhealthy.
【3】According to Madeline,_________.
A. people might not see a car come while texting
B. the law would be for the benefit of all the people
C. people have the right to make their own decisions
D. people do many things that cause injury to themselves

330 million nature lovers from all over the world visited US national parks in 2018. This summer, visitors will have a new park to explore. Indiana Dunes National Park started on February 15, 2019. Just 50 miles from Chicago, the park is doable as a day trip or a multi-day adventure.
Located (位于) in northwestern Indiana along the shore of Lake Michigan, Indiana Dunes is the first national park in this state. The park is already Indiana's most-visited site, with about 3.5 million visitors each year. Here's what to know before you visit.
The park's most impressive features (特点) are its towering sand dunes. Formed by glacial melt (冰川融化), the park's namesake dunes can reach heights of almost 200 feet. Strong winds blowing off Michigan continually shape and change the park's 15 miles of shoreline, ensuring a slightly different experience each time you visit.
The warm months are the best time to take full advantage of the park's beach. But the park is worth visiting in any season. You can do different activities in different seasons. To see beautiful fall leaves, plan your visit in autumn. Or explore the park in winter and enjoy far fewer crowds. If you visit in spring, just enjoy your walk for beautiful flowers.
A 3.5-mile path showing the best the park has to offer. The most famous dune is Mount Baldy, and on certain days you can actually climb to the top of this sand dune to enjoy open views of the surrounding landscape (风景). Other outdoor activities at Indiana Dunes National Park include biking, boating, and fishing. Of course, swimming in Lake Michigan is one of the most beloved activities, but it's important to be mindful of changing water conditions. Like an ocean, Lake Michigan can be calm one minute and dangerous the next.
The park's Dunewood Campground has 66 campsites and is equipped with restrooms and showers. It is first-come, first-served, and the fee is $25 per night. If you don't want to camp, several other accommodations (住宿) around Indiana Dunes don't require sleeping in a tent. Everything from bed and breakfasts to hotels is available.
If you're flying to the Midwest, the airports nearest to Indiana Dunes are South Bend International in South Bend, about 45 miles away, and both Midway and O'Hare in Chicago. From Indianapolis, the drive is about 2.5 hours. The park's main gate is just off I-94 and is easily accessed from the Indiana Toll Road. Take the exit for IN-49 and you will pass right by the visitor center where you can park, head in to get a map, and plan the day. The park fee is just $6 per car and $80 for a season pass.
【1】When did Indiana Dunes National Park start?
【2】Where is the park located?
【3】Why is the park worth visiting in any season?
【4】What can you do on the top of Mount Baldy'?
【5】What is the purpose of writing the passage?
