The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. People thought that there was a special danger from evz7 (邪惡的) spirits,so friends and family came together to bring good thoughts and wishes and even presents. 36 But as uiuug?iis anu WIMICS
time went by,children and then adults began to have the? own birthday celebrations. There are s?me traditions — such as sending birthday cards,blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the “Happy Birthday” song,that you can find almost anywhere,any time. 37
In many English-speaking countries,a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top. 38 The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!
In the past in parts of Europe,men who reached the age of thirty and were still single,had to clean the stairs of the City Hall. This way every girl could see that the man didn't have a girlfriend.39
After the age of thirty,many people prefer to forget their birthdays rather than celebrate them ... children often bring Mum (or Dad) breakfast in bed. 40 It's also a day when your friends and family have to pay if you go out for drinks or a meal!
A. Birthday traditions are.around the world.
B. At one time,only kings had birthday parties.
C. Or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key.
D. It's traditional to give flowers and enjoy a special meal.
E. Family members put many sweets on the birthday cake.
F. They could also see how good he was at cleaning the house!
G. Others are more specific to certain ages and certain countries.
36: B. 根據(jù)下一句 But as time went by,children and then adults began to have their own birthday celebrations
可知,空格處和該句形成時間上的前 后對比，故B項符合語境。
37. G。根據(jù)上一句 There are some traditions …that you can find almost、
anywhere,any time以及下文介紹的幾個特別的生日習(xí)俗可知，G項在此承上啟下。
38. C. 根據(jù)上句中的 a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top 和下一句中的The key means that可 知，c項中的the shape of a key與之相呼應(yīng)。
39. F。根據(jù)該.段中的 had to clean the stairs of the City Ha?? 和 every girl could see ...可知，F(xiàn)項“她們也能借此看出這名男子很會打掃家”符合此處語境。
40. D. 根據(jù)上一句中的many people prefer to forget their birthdays rather ihan celebratl them 和下一句中的 your friends and family have to pay if you go out for drinks or a meal 可知， 30歲以后人們不再興師動眾慶祝生日，而是簡單地度過。故D項“送花和吃頓飯”符合語境。

A
★★★★☆
We stood silently under the stars,just metres from our tent,hardly daring to breathe. Not far away stood four (黑斑玲) .Did they know, as we did,that a leopala(豹子) lay under a bush?
She jumped. Four shadowy shapes jumped into the woods. Had the leopard made a successful kill? The whole scene had taken place too quickly,and in not enough light,for any of US to be sure. In fact,we had been on our way from the tent to the suppertime campfire. Half an hour later we had a tale to outdo most told around the fire. “This has got to be the best nightlife in the world,answered my boy Toby,whe]tr some middle-aged tourists asked him how he was enjoying his holiday.
So much for the lies of experts who doubted that safaris(游獵) would be workable for teenagers. True,this is a difficult age,with teens beginning to sense that they are too old for family holidays. But our kids didn't want to return to the kind of “teen clubs”. So,my wife and I thought,if we were going to have one really good family holiday,why not Africa?
Our holiday began with a flight to Aruslm airport,then a long drive south. We chose to stay at Mdonya Old River Camp because this is one that avoids soft beds and towels,etc; these,to my mind can prevent US from connecting with nature. Instead,the five of US shared a simple tent at the edge of a dried-up sand river.
If there was one disappointment about the wildlife viewing in Tanzania,it was that game drives are not allowed in any of anthere country national parks after dark. But if anything,this made our night-time meeting with the leopard and impala outside our tent even more special.
Our final trip was over to Zanzibar where we sailed out to a sandbank and watched a beautiful sunset. And we concluded(得出結(jié)論) that if there is one family holiday that will attract teens,it is a safari.
