Sun Yi finally received an email she had long been waiting for, which contained her final wedding plan. The plan, which had been revised nearly ten times, offered the 29-year-old girl a “new Chinese-style” wedding in March. She described it as “traditional but old-fashioned” and “ritualistic (仪式的) but stylish.”
In recent years, traditional Chinese weddings have won popularity again among the country's newly-married. Many of them no longer consider western-style dresses and words of “I do” as important parts of weddings. Instead, they now prefer wearing Tang Dynasty-style clothes and performing traditional rituals at weddings the same way their ancestors did hundreds, even thousands of years ago.
In traditional Chinese weddings, couples usually wear red. Red is always a symbol of fortune in Chinese culture, and the hall of the ceremony is also richly decorated in red. Couples will perform a three-step ritual, namely to heaven and earth, to their parents and to each other.
In Lanzhou, several wedding planning companies are sparing no effort to promote their “Chinese-style wedding packages”, which offer a wide range of choices for wedding plans. Chinese-style weddings make up nearly 40 percent of our orders. Customers often need to make reservations six months in advance, said Zhang, a wedding planner.
Wang Yiru, another wedding planner in Lanzhou, Xinxin Wedding Service Company, said the preparation for a Chinese-style wedding is usually very time-consuming and costly.
“Wedding ceremonies reflect social and cultural changes. With people’s living standards improved, they go for more individual choices,” said Wang Zongli, a professor at Northwest Normal University.
4．What do the newly-married usually do in a traditional Chinese wedding? A．Perform western rituals. C．Say “I do” to each other.
B．Memorize their ancestors. D．Wear Chinese-style clothes.
5．Why is red always used in traditional Chinese weddings? A．Red is a symbol of fortune.
B．Red is a symbol of money.

New Year is a time to celebrate for almost everyone around the world. In Britain, people go to pubs to dance the old year away and to welcome the new one at midnight.
In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the riverbanks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks display.
For people who stay at home, most of them watch special and live New Year shows on TV with the hosts. As the last seconds of the old year are ticked away from 10 to 1, the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland, on New Year’s Eve, people visit their neighbors, drink, dance and generally have a good time. If you’re invited to a Scottish home, you should bring some important things with you: some coal, shortbread and whisky.
The coal shows warmth, so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the new year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
There’s one more key task you still need to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbor’s door is supposed to be a tall and handsome man. If you are, you’ll bring good luck to the household. What if that’s not you? Well, don’t ring the bell. Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon!

Many of us would listen to music while we are work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. In fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity.
The idea that listening to music while working is good for output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart Effect”. Put simply, the reasoning ability is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart’s, compared to no sound at all.
How sounds affect performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years. It is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelative sound effect. To study the irrelative sound effect, participants are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in an exact order. The difficult thing is doing this while ignoring the background noise.
Two key characteristics of the irrelative sound effect are required. First, subjects (受试者) are required to use their memory ability. Second, the sound must contain acoustical (听觉的) variation.
The irrelative sound effect comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same time. One is from the task, and the other is from the sound. Unfortunately, only former is required to perform in the recall task, and the effort to prevent processing irrelevant order information from the sound hinders the memory ability.

B．A man who is tall and handsome. D．A man who carries bread and whisky.
A similar problem is also seen when reading in the presence of music with lyrics (歌词). In this situation, the two sources of words from the task and the sound will hinder each other. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.
What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and the type of music and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels. 12．What is “Mozart Effect” mentioned in paragraph2?
A．To explain how music can help people relax. B．To show music can improve performance. C．To advise people to listen to Mozart's music. D．To stress Mozart’s music gains wide uses.
13．What does the underlined word “hinders” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Promotes.
B．Improves.
C．Criticizes.
D．Prevents.
14．What is the writer trying to do in paragraph 6?
A．Support an idea. C．Introduce a topic.
B．Make a contrast. D．Describe a fact.
15．In which part of a magazine can we read this text?
A．Sports.
B．Travel.
C．Fiction.
D．Music.

A Few Tips to Become a Top Student
