WASHINGTON — President Obama and his wife, Michelle, handed out Halloween treats
题型：不详难度：来源：
Local students between 6 and 14 years old, along with children from military families, were invited to celebrate Halloween on the North Lawn．
The president and first lady, along with Mrs．Obama"s mother, Marian Robinson, spent about 30 minutes passing out goodie bags．Obama wished each child a happy Halloween as he distributed the treats, pausing occasionally for hugs or to comment on costumes．
Later, the military families continued the celebration inside the White House．
The first couple joked to assembled reporters about children walking the long driveway in order to work off （消化掉） the snacks．"This is the Let"s Move method of trick-or-treating （不给糖就捣蛋）," Obama said, referring to Mrs．Obama"s campaign to combat childhood obesity （肥胖）．
The goodie bags contained a box of White House M&Ms, a cookie made by pastry chef （点心师） Bill Yosses, and dried fruit．
As they made their way across the lawn, the children meet a vast range of costumed characters ranging from a spooky Frankenstein （科学怪人,小说《弗兰肯斯坦》的主角） to the Scarecrow from "The Wizard of Oz．" Music from a jazz band dressed in pirate gear rang out across the White House grounds．
Multicolored pumpkins and gourds lined the driveway — individually, in gravity-defying stacks and as part of a large mound over 5 feet tall．Pumpkin-headed scarecrows （稻草人） made of cornstalks loomed over the path with menacingly raised arms．Under the White House portico, a mobile resembling bats flying through clouds fluttered around a lantern．
Some of the local trick-or-treaters were students at Bancroft Elementary, which helps tend the first lady"s White House garden, and Tubman Elementary, which has a relationship with the White House chefs．
After trick-or-treating ended, the Obamas stood near the front door, welcoming the military families inside, helping children climb the short flight of steps and thanking parents for their service．

Caring for the Hawaiian Wedding Plant is not much different from caring for any other houseplants that may already be in your home. The only difference between this type of houseplant and others is the amount of the basic requirements that this foreign houseplant needs to survive and perform beautifully. During the growing season, this plant requires its wet soil, but when winter rolls around, this plant needs its soil to be kept drier.
Hawaiian Wedding Plants should also be potted in well-drained(排水)soil and placed in a location that receives full sun. That the soil must be kept wet does not mean that it should sit in water, so the soil must drain easily or this plant will not survive. Water the plant daily and feed this plant every two to three weeks with a little fertilizer(化肥) for acid-loving plants. Prune in early spring, even as early as February. If these needs are met, this plant will stay beautiful.
The most special feature of this foreign houseplant is its long lasting blooms(开花)combined with its unbelievable sweet smell. The Hawaiian Wedding Plant blooms the heaviest in the spring months, but has been known to bloom in any warm months, so do not be surprised to find blooms most time of the year except maybe in the dead of winter.
小题1:Why does the author mention wedding and bouquet in the first paragraph?
| A．To introduce a Hawaiian wedding. | B．To attract the readers’ interest in the passage. |
| C．To show the beauty of the flower. | D．To teach the readers to choose proper bouquets. |
| A．Hawaii | B．China | C．Madagascar | D．Alaska |
a. Wet soil. b. Lots of fertilizer. c. Proper sunshine. d. Some acid.
| A．a.c | B．a. b | C．b. c | D．a. d |
| A．At the end of the winter. | B．At the beginning of the winter. |
| C．In deadly condition in winter. | D．In the coldest part of winter. |

Even though each country uses doors, doors may have 50 functions and purposes which lead to 51 differences.
When I first came to America, I noticed that a public building had two different 52 and they had distinct functions. You have to push the door with the word “ PUSH ” to go out of the building and to pull the door with the word “PULL” to 53 the building. This was new to me, because we use the 54 door in South Korea. For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed.
The way of using school bus doors was also 55 to me. I used to take the school bus to school. The school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back door. Students who were getting off the bus should get off first, and students who were getting on should get on 56 in South Korea. We do not need to wait for people to 57 . One morning I hurried to the bus, and when the bus doors opened, I 58 tried to get on the school bus through the front door. All the students around looked at me. I was totally 59 , and my face went red.

Here Madame Nora Chabal，the marketing director of the Ritz Hotel in Paris，explained how it works．
The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours．And，the guest may not ask to bring a guest because the hostess has chosen her own．
Flowers sent ahead of schedule are the preferred gift．They may also be sent afterwards with a thank–you note．It is considered a very bad form to arrive with a gift of flowers vase when she is too busy to do with that．
See，that’s the logic！The type of flowers sent has a code of its own，too．One must never send chrysanthemums(菊花)because they are considered too humble(谦卑)for occasion．Carnations（康乃馨）are considered bad luck，and calla（马蹄莲）are too reminiscent（令人联想）of funerals（葬礼）．A bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic intent．Don’t send those unless you mean it，and never to a married hostess．And though the French love wine，you must never bring a bottle to a dinner party．Why？It’s as if you feared your hosts would not have enough wine on hand，and that’s an insult（侮辱）．You may，however，offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee．
If an invitation is for eight o’clock，the considerate guest arrives at a quarter past eight．Guests who arrive exactly on time or early are mere thoughtless ones who are not giving the hostess those last few minutes she needs to deal with details and crises．
小题1:Which of the following is right about sending gifts？
| A．If someone in France is dead, send chrysanthemums or calla. |
| B．If someone in Paris is ill in hospital, send carnations. |
| C．If you are invited to a dinner party in UK, never bring a bottle of wine, because that’s an insult. |
| D．If you are invited by a single French hostess whom you love, send red roses. |
| A．thoughtful | B．shameful | C．respectful | D．grateful |
| A．compliment your host on his cooking |
| B．arrive fifteen minutes behind schedule |
| C．hurry to help the hostess |
| D．show up promptly at the time given on the invitation |
| A．Different flowers have different meanings |
| B．How to send flowers |
| C．Good manners at a French dinner party |
| D．Different countries have different manners |
