Fish is an important dish during the Spring Festival in China. In Chinese, "fish" sounds

like 'surplus'. Chinese people always like to have a surplus at the end of the year, because they
Crucian carp（鲫鱼 jì yú）: As the first character of "crucian
carp" sounds like the Chinese word 吉 ( jí ) , meaning "good luck", eating crucian carp is considered to bring good luck for the next year.
Chinese mud carp（鲤鱼 lǐyú）: The first part of the Chinese for 'mud carp' is pronounced

like the word for gifts. So Chinese people eat mud carp during the Chinese New Year, hoping to get a good deal of money.
Catfish（鲶鱼 niányú）: The Chinese for "catfish" sounds like 年余（nián yú）, meaning

"year surplus". So eating catfish is a wish for a harvest in the year.

Eating two catfish, one on New Year's Eve and one on New Year's Day, (if eaten in a certain way) can mean a wish for more year after year.
If only one catfish is eaten, you can eat the upper part of the fish on New Year's Eve and have the rest on the first day of the New Year. This would have the same meaning.
The fish should be the last dish to be served and you mustn't eat it all. You should leave some left-overs. This is a common tradition in the north of the Yangtze River, but in other areas, the head and tail of the fish shouldn't be eaten until the beginning of the year. This expresses hope that you will have an easy start and have savings at the end of the following year.
Besides this, there are some rules related to the position of the fish.

The head should be placed toward most important guests or elders, showing respect. People should enjoy the fish, only after the person who faces the fish head eats first. The fish shouldn't be moved. The two people who face the head and tail of fish should drink together, as this is considered to be good luck.
These customs（风俗习惯）are observed in a lively and light-hearted spirit, full of laughing

and joking.
27．Why do Chinese people eat fish during the Spring Festival?
A．Because they managed to save something. B．Because they hope to make more in the next year. C．Because they have different kinds of fish in Yangtze River. D．Because they want to show respect to the important guests.

Do you have the experience of staying up all night playing video games? Do you feel happy after that? More and more people are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming: You can create your favourite characters and stories. It gives you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world. And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and other bad emotions in the situations where you kill people with guns. You can get excited from the games.
However, can these kinds of games really be good for us? Should we worry about their effects on our health? Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been responsible for the
falling grades at school and acts of violence ( 暴力 ). Internet safety adviser, Alan MacKenzie,
thinks "many people will just think that a game is just a game，not realizing what's exactly in there". He gives an example of the violence, which he believes is totally improper for anybody, not to mention children.
Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment( 休闲、娱乐 ). They

believe it benefits children in life and studies. They listed many facts that a number of top students are video game lovers and quite a lot of computer programmers had spent a certain amount of time on computer games. They insist that those are strong evidence to prove that playing video games could actually be good for us. Some games are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain.
Computer games are also a kind of relaxing. A report said that computer games are good for children and teach them essential life skills. Researchers found that children who
spend hours every day on a certain video game may not be rotting their brains. A Dutch liberal MEP said, "Video games are in most cases not dangerous". The findings are likely to surprise many people. Edward Smith, the professor in Oxford University, believes gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives. With games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups, when your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.
So every coin has two sides. If video games are used in a proper way, we can all take part.
30．What does the word "evidence" mean in Para 3?
A．Advice for students. B．Various worries. C．Different activities. D．Facts for belief.
31．Paragraph 2 mainly talks about .
A．Computer games are bad for health B．Computer games can cause many problems C．Popular games are both dangerous and interesting
D．Popular games lead to students' falling grades at school
32．From the passage we can infer that .
A．Video games are not dangerous
B．working together is better than working alone
C．Children can learn a lot from computer games
D．many parents support their children playing computer games
33．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Should computer games be responsible for the falling grades at school? B．Should computer games be improved to be more educational? C．Should we pay attention to children's game playing?
D．Should we allow children to play computer games?
