[2019·合肥市高三第三次教学质量检测] The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or DragonHeadRaising Festival, falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year, and recognizes the start of spring and farming. This year it falls on March 8.
Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rainbringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep. A wellknown phrase goes, “Er yue er, Long tai tou,” meaning, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”

[2020·贵阳市高三适应性考试一]Brits(英国人) are extremely bad at languages, with many of us relying on the fact that the rest of the world speak English. Only half (51%) are able to speak a second language to any standard and as more people travel abroad, this is becoming an increasing regret, according to a new study.
Almost twothirds (62%) of UK adults wish they were better at speaking languages. So they can better understand a city's culture (38% of respondents), talk with locals (24%) and go beyond the guide book (21%).

Overcoming language barriers can be one of the most difficult parts of a holiday, particularly when in unfamiliar surroundings. So stressful in the fact that 10% of respondents said they didn't travel because of the problem.
The survey by Hostelworld showed that one in five blamed getting lost on the language barrier, while a similar number had problems ordering food and one in ten got on the wrong train, plane or other form of transportation.
If languages weren't an issue then one in eight (12%) Brits would visit Japan. China, Italy and Russia were also popular choices. Despite the communication problem, Japan has seen a 7.5% increase in the number of British visitors between January and April, compared to this time last year.
“The number of British travelers to Japan has been growing year on year,” according to Hollie Mantle, marketing and communication manager for the Japanese Tourist Board. “People are realizing that Japan is one of the most hospitable and beautiful countries on earth, with so many new experiences for travelers to try, not to mention worldclass cuisine!”
They had this message for Brits thinking about visiting: “Though some travelers worry about language barriers, as soon as you arrive in Japan, you'll realize that people will go out of their way to help you enjoy their country. There really are few ‘barriers’—road signs and train stations are in English, you'll find that people speak more English than they let on, and even when they don't, they will go above and beyond to help you out.”
9.What do we know from the first two paragraphs?
A.Brits are poor at languages.
B.Brits regret what they have done.
C.Brits like relying on others.
D.Brits are good at languages.
10.How many Brits can't order food correctly because of language barriers?
A.About 10%. B.About 12%.
C.About 20%. D.About 21%.

A.By analyzing causes.
B.By giving examples.
C.By making description.
D.By listing data.

How to Cultivate Confidence?
When faced with a big challenge where potential failure seems to appear at every corner, maybe you'll hear this advice: Be more confident. __1__ Take the belief that you are precious and capable, also known as selfesteem. Confidence turns thoughts into action. It comes from the genes you are born with, the way people get used to treating you as well as the choices you make. While it isn't possible to completely separate these three factors, the personal choices we make obviously play a major role in is confidence development. As a result, by keeping certain practical tips in mind, we do actually have the power to cultivate our own confidence.
__2__ If you're looking for a longterm change, consider the way you think about your abilities and talents. Do you think they are fixed at birth, or that they can be developed? These beliefs matter because they can influence how you act in the face of setbacks. If you have a fixed mindset, meaning that your talents are locked in the place, you might give up, assuming you've discovered something you're not good at. But if you have a growth mindset, and think your abilities can improve, a challenge will become an opportunity to learn and grow. Neuroscience(神经科学) supports the latter. The connections in your brain do get stronger and grow with study and practice. __3__
Practicing failure is a must. Failure happens. __4__ J. K. Rowling was rejected by twelve different publishers before one picked up Harry Potter. The Wright brothers built on history's failed attempts at flight before designing a successful airplane. Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges in constructive ways. __5__ So, think of a challenge you want to take on, realize it's not going to be easy, accept that you'll make mistakes, and be kind to yourself when you do. You'll feel the excitement, knowing that whatever the result, you'll have gained greater knowledge and understanding.
A.But what is confidence?
B.So can confidence be easily cultivated?
C.Everyone is possible to encounter failure.
D.Being a talented person is quite necessary.
E.They learn to try different strategies and persevere.
F.Believing in your abilities to improve is the first step.

G.It also turns out that people with a growth mindset are better at dealing with challenges.
