World First Aid Day is a global observance that is held every year on the second Saturday in September to make people learn about how first aid can save lives.It was introduced in the year 2000 by the International Federation of Red Cross （IFRC） and Red Crescent Societies and has been celebrated each year ever since.Around 100 Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies organize ceremonies and events on this day every year.The theme this year is “First Response to Road Crashes” to focus on the importance of giving first aid to save the lives of people involved in road traffic accidents.
Worldwide， about 2 million people are killed and 50 million are injured in road crashes each year； road accidents are the primary reason for death among young people aged 15 to 29， given that 49% of deaths are pedestrians （行人）.For motorcyclists， wearing a motorcycle helmet can reduce the risk of death in the event of a crash （by up to 40%） and the chance of a serious injury （by up to 70%）.Seat belts reduce the risk of death by 45% to 50% for front-seat passengers and up to 75% for rear-seat passengers.Lack of oxygen （or hypoxia） is one of the most common causes of death among traffic accident victims.Road accidents right now rank as the 9th leading cause of death and are expected to climb up to the 7th position by 2030.
To respond to the theme of “First Response to Road Crashes”， the IFRC has a toolkit （軟件包） on their website that consists of an interactive quiz， posters， and learning material on first aid in response to a road crash.The learning material lists the “Top 10 Prevention/Simple Actions to help avoid a car crash” and the “Top 10 Action/First Aid actions in case of the road accident”.The interactive quiz evaluates （評估） your behaviour on the road.

The Sister Rice Festival is held every year in Guizhou’s Taijiang County， where 97 per cent of the 168，000 people are from the ethnic （民族的） Miao group.It is an ancient tradition， which brings men and women together through food， gifts and music.
In the days before the festival， young women gather leaves and wild flowers， which they use to dye （給……染色） sticky rice with bright colours.This brightly coloured rice， known as Sister Rice， gives the festival its name.During the festival， the young women dress in beautiful traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry （首飾）.
The festival includes parades， horse races and musical performances.But the real focus is the interaction between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs.In one traditional type of song， a man and a woman take turns to sing to each other， and the first one to make a mistake loses the game.The loser must give the winner a gift， but the winner is expected to give a gift in return， too.
After meeting the men， the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings.For example， a pair of chopsticks indicates that she wants to marry the man， while garlic shows that she is not interested.
One of several stories about the festival’s beginning is about a girl and a boy who fell in love.The girl’s parents wanted her to marry her uncle’s son.She refused， and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else.For a time， they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket.Finally， the pair overcame their parents’ opposition and were allowed to marry.
The Sister Rice Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that encourages love.

D.To cover some objects in a basket.

B.A hidden pair of chopsticks suggests good things.
C.The winner need not send a gift.
D.Often a man needs to sing songs to a young woman.
8.What does the story in Paragraph 5 tell us？（　　）
A.The boy’s parents didn’t like the girl.
B.They were not married in the end.
C.The boy refused to marry the girl at first.
D.The rice in the bamboo basket carried their love.

　　Maya history has deeply influenced communities like San Antonio in Belize for thousands of years.Today， San Antonio remains Belize’s largest Maya community.But like many places in the world， there are lots of challenges， especially for women seeking education and employment （工作）.
　　Timotea Mesh， however， stands out as a sign of hope.Born into a large family of 10 children， Timotea recalls her early life in San Antonio：“We worked the land just like everyone else in our community to feed our family.I married young with very little education.But I’d always loved to read.As a young mother， I wanted to improve my family’s life.”
　　It was through reading that Timotea learned about traditional Mayan arts and crafts （工藝）.When talking with friends， Timotea quickly realized that the women in her community were just like her， all looking to learn new skills， find more ways to earn an income and ensure their culture wasn’t lost.She invited them to join her in the evenings to practice traditional cooking， pottery and embroidery （陶藝和刺繡）.In 2001， Timotea founded San Antonio Women’s Cooperative （合作社）.
　　Thanks to the success of the tourism business， many travelers visit San Antonio.Visitors to the cooperative can try their hand at ancient pottery-making techniques with a group of Mayan craftswomen， enjoy a delicious traditional meal， and have a chance to buy pottery and other crafts made by the women in the community.All the money the cooperative earns goes back to the community， providing scholarships for young women to continue their education.
　　“We face many challenges to keep our culture and traditions alive and， like many mothers in my community， I didn’t teach my own children our local language because I thought they’d have better opportunities if I brought them up speaking English and Spanish.I’m now trying to change that； I hope it’s not too late.My vision （愿景） for the future is to keep protecting our roots， so we can pass our traditions down to our children and the generations to come，” Timotea states.

Alex around the world
10 January， a wedding ceremony①， India
When Nadim invited me to his sister’s wedding， I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime.I was definitely not wrong！
The wedding ceremony took place② in a brightly decorated③ hotel room.[1]There were hundreds of④ guests， all dressed up in formal⑤，colourful clothes.According to tradition⑥， the bride⑦ was wearing an eye-catching⑧ red silk sari.
　　[2]I did not understand all of the traditional customs⑨， but a few made a deep impression⑩ on me.One was the bridegroom’s entrance on a beautiful white horse.I had never seen that back home！[3]Another was the part when Nadim’s father proudly led his daughter through the rows of seats to her husband.It reminded me of my sister’s wedding.Although our cultures are so different， the smiling faces are the same.
　　[1]句中all dressed up in formal， colourful clothes是一個獨立主格結構，代詞all作邏輯主語。
　　[2]本句整體上是由but連接的并列句，否定詞not與all連用，表示部分否定，意為“并非都……”。
　　[3]句中when引導定語從句，修飾先行詞the part，part在此處可翻譯為“環節”。
The customs that followed were anything but ordinary .The couple joined hands and walked around a small fire four times.[4]Then they took seven steps together by the fire， and with each step made a different promise about how they were going to support each other and live together happily.It was very romantic ！
　　After the ceremony， it was time for the celebrations.That is a story for another day， but let’s just say there was a lot of dancing.Now I know I have two left feet ...and both of them hurt！
　　26 February， Rio Carnival， Brazil
The summer heat hit me as soon as I got off the flight .No wonder people from Rio take a week off for this happy occasion .I could feel it already — the Carnival was in the air ！
　　To experience the spirit of the Carnival for myself， I went to a street party.Luckily， I arrived just in time — the show was about to begin as I took my place in the merry crowd.[5]I could see a group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band in fancy costumes standing in the street.Some of them carried flags， which blew in the wind.The crowd waited with excitement.
　　[4]句中took seven steps和made a different promise是并列謂語；介詞about后接how引導的賓語從句。
　　[5]see sb doing sth意為“看見某人正在做某事”； in fancy costumes作后置定語，修飾賓語a group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band；動詞-ing短語standing in the street 作賓語補足語。
Then there was an explosion of bright colours and lively music， and the group jumped into action.The band started playing an energetic samba beat， the dancers twisted and turned， and the crowd began to cheer， clap and sing.The whole group started marching down the street.[6]The Carnival current carried us through the ever-growing sea of people， dancing all the way.Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets， and the smell of roasted meat filled the air as we passed wave after wave of street stands .[7]I was so caught up in the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by！
　　[6]動詞-ing短語dancing all the way在句中作伴隨狀語。
　　[7]so ...that ...意為“如此……以至于……”，引導結果狀語從句。
　　Even as I lay in bed that evening， the bright colours and lively music were still swimming all around me.What an amazing first day in Rio！

亞力克斯環球游記
　　一月十日，一場婚禮，印度
當納迪姆邀請我參加他妹妹的婚禮時，我覺得這是個千載難逢的好機會。結果我還真沒猜錯！
婚禮在一間裝飾華美的酒店包房內舉行，到場賓客數以百計，個個身著色彩艷麗的禮服。遵照傳統，新娘身穿一襲分外奪目的紅絲綢莎麗。
不是所有的傳統習俗我都了解，但有一些給我留下了深刻的印象。一個是新郎入場時竟騎著一匹俊美的白馬。這我在國內可從未見過！再就是納迪姆的父親自豪地領著女兒，穿過一排排座位走向新郎的環節。這一幕讓我想起了我妹妹的婚禮。盡管文化殊異，但含笑的面孔卻是一樣的。
接下來的風俗絕對不尋常。新婚夫婦攜手圍著一個小火堆走上四圈，然后在火堆旁一起走七步，每走一步，都要立一條誓言，誓言里講的都是二人將來會如何相互扶持，如何幸福地共同生活。真是太浪漫了！
儀式之后，就是歡慶的時刻了。這個話題改日再聊，但是先這么說吧，（那天）舞跳了不少。現在我只知道我“有兩只左腳”……而且兩只都疼得不行！
二月二十六日，里約狂歡節，巴西
一下飛機，就有一股暑熱襲來。難怪里約人民要為這場歡樂的慶典放假一周。我已經感覺到了——這狂歡節的氣氛！
為了切身體驗狂歡節的精神，我加入了一個街頭派對。來得早不如來得巧——我剛在歡樂的人群中找好位置，表演就要開始了。我看到一群人，其中有大約二十名巴西舞者以及一支樂隊，他們身著華麗的服裝站在街頭，有人還拿著旗子，旗子隨風飄蕩著。人們激動地翹首以待。
突然，鮮艷的色彩和熱烈的音樂噴薄而出，歌舞隊應聲一躍而起。樂隊奏起勁爆的桑巴節拍，跳舞的人扭動腰身，人群開始歡呼、鼓掌、歌唱。歌舞隊全體開始沿街前行。狂歡節的人潮帶著我們穿過不斷擴張的人海，一路上跳舞不停。我們經過一波又一波街頭小攤時，裝著汽水和啤酒的保冷箱排列在狹窄的街道兩邊，空氣中彌漫著烤肉的味道。我深深地沉迷于派對的狂熱中，不知不覺五個小時已經過去了！
即使晚上我躺在床上的時候，那鮮艷的色彩和熱烈的音樂依然在我腦海中盤旋游弋。里約首日，多么奇妙的一天！

【參考譯文】
亞力克斯環球游記
　　一月十日，一場婚禮，印度
當納迪姆邀請我參加他妹妹的婚禮時，我覺得這是個千載難逢的
好機會。結果我還真沒猜錯！
婚禮在一間裝飾華美的酒店包房內舉行，到場賓客數以百計，個
個身著色彩艷麗的禮服。遵照傳統，新娘身穿一襲分外奪目的紅絲綢
莎麗。
不是所有的傳統習俗我都了解，但有一些給我留下了深刻的印
象。一個是新郎入場時竟騎著一匹俊美的白馬。這我在國內可從未見
過！再就是納迪姆的父親自豪地領著女兒，穿過一排排座位走向新郎
的環節。這一幕讓我想起了我妹妹的婚禮。盡管文化殊異，但含笑的
面孔卻是一樣的。
接下來的風俗絕對不尋常。新婚夫婦攜手圍著一個小火堆走上四
圈，然后在火堆旁一起走七步，每走一步，都要立一條誓言，誓言里
講的都是二人將來會如何相互扶持，如何幸福地共同生活。真是太浪
漫了！
儀式之后，就是歡慶的時刻了。這個話題改日再聊，但是先這么
說吧，（那天）舞跳了不少。現在我只知道我“有兩只左腳”……而
且兩只都疼得不行！
二月二十六日，里約狂歡節，巴西
一下飛機，就有一股暑熱襲來。難怪里約人民要為這場歡樂的慶
典放假一周。我已經感覺到了——這狂歡節的氣氛！
為了切身體驗狂歡節的精神，我加入了一個街頭派對。來得早不
如來得巧——我剛在歡樂的人群中找好位置，表演就要開始了。我看
到一群人，其中有大約二十名巴西舞者以及一支樂隊，他們身著華麗
的服裝站在街頭，有人還拿著旗子，旗子隨風飄蕩著。人們激動地翹
首以待。
突然，鮮艷的色彩和熱烈的音樂噴薄而出，歌舞隊應聲一躍而
起。樂隊奏起勁爆的桑巴節拍，跳舞的人扭動腰身，人群開始歡呼、
鼓掌、歌唱。歌舞隊全體開始沿街前行。狂歡節的人潮帶著我們穿過
不斷擴張的人海，一路上跳舞不停。我們經過一波又一波街頭小攤
時，裝著汽水和啤酒的保冷箱排列在狹窄的街道兩邊，空氣中彌漫著
烤肉的味道。我深深地沉迷于派對的狂熱中，不知不覺五個小時已經
過去了！
即使晚上我躺在床上的時候，那鮮艷的色彩和熱烈的音樂依然在
我腦海中盤旋游弋。里約首日，多么奇妙的一天！

World First Aid Day is a global observance that is held every year on
the second Saturday in September to make people learn about how first aid
can save lives.It was introduced in the year 2000 by the International
Federation of Red Cross （IFRC） and Red Crescent Societies and has
been celebrated each year ever since.Around 100 Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies organize ceremonies and events on this day every
year.The theme this year is “First Response to Road Crashes” to focus
on the importance of giving first aid to save the lives of people involved in
road traffic accidents.
Worldwide， about 2 million people are killed and 50 million are
injured in road crashes each year； road accidents are the primary reason
for death among young people aged 15 to 29， given that 49% of deaths
are pedestrians （行人）.For motorcyclists， wearing a motorcycle
helmet can reduce the risk of death in the event of a crash （by up to
40%） and the chance of a serious injury （by up to 70%）.Seat belts
reduce the risk of death by 45% to 50% for front-seat passengers and up to
75% for rear-seat passengers.Lack of oxygen （or hypoxia） is one of the
most common causes of death among traffic accident victims.
Road accidents right now rank as the 9th leading cause of death and are
expected to climb up to the 7th position by 2030.
To respond to the theme of “First Response to Road Crashes”， the
IFRC has a toolkit （軟件包） on their website that consists of an
interactive quiz， posters， and learning material on first aid in response
to a road crash.The learning material lists the “Top 10 Prevention/Simple
Actions to help avoid a car crash” and the “Top 10 Action/First Aid
actions in case of the road accident”.The interactive quiz evaluates （評
估） your behaviour on the road.
It is vital that everyone follows simple rules like respecting other
people and traffic regulations， fastening seat belts， wearing helmets and
high-visibility protective clothing.All these can prevent road crashes.For
more information please click here.

The Sister Rice Festival is held every year in Guizhou’s Taijiang
County， where 97 per cent of the 168，000 people are from the ethnic
（民族的） Miao group.It is an ancient tradition， which brings men and
women together through food， gifts and music.
In the days before the festival， young women gather leaves and wild
flowers， which they use to dye （給……染色） sticky rice with bright
colours.This brightly coloured rice， known as Sister Rice， gives the
festival its name.During the festival， the young women dress in beautiful
traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry （首飾）.
The festival includes parades， horse races and musical
performances.But the real focus is the interaction between the young
women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing
songs.In one traditional type of song， a man and a woman take turns to
sing to each other， and the first one to make a mistake loses the
game.The loser must give the winner a gift， but the winner is expected to
give a gift in return， too.
After meeting the men， the women send them home with a bamboo
basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings.For
example， a pair of chopsticks indicates that she wants to marry the
man， while garlic shows that she is not interested.
One of several stories about the festival’s beginning is about a girl
and a boy who fell in love.The girl’s parents wanted her to marry her
uncle’s son.She refused， and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone
else.For a time， they could only meet in a field and pass hidden
messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket.Finally， the pair
overcame their parents’ opposition and were allowed to marry.
The Sister Rice Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that
encourages love.

　　Maya history has deeply influenced communities like San Antonio in
Belize for thousands of years.Today， San Antonio remains Belize’s
largest Maya community.But like many places in the world， there are
lots of challenges， especially for women seeking education and
employment （工作）.
　　Timotea Mesh， however， stands out as a sign of hope.Born into a
large family of 10 children， Timotea recalls her early life in San
Antonio：“We worked the land just like everyone else in our community
to feed our family.I married young with very little education.But I’d
always loved to read.As a young mother， I wanted to improve my
family’s life.”
　　It was through reading that Timotea learned about traditional Mayan
arts and crafts （工藝）.When talking with friends， Timotea quickly
realized that the women in her community were just like her， all looking
to learn new skills， find more ways to earn an income and ensure their
culture wasn’t lost.She invited them to join her in the evenings to
practice traditional cooking， pottery and embroidery （陶藝和刺繡）.In
2001， Timotea founded San Antonio Women’s Cooperative （合作
社）.
　　Thanks to the success of the tourism business， many travelers visit
San Antonio.Visitors to the cooperative can try their hand at ancient
pottery-making techniques with a group of Mayan craftswomen， enjoy a
delicious traditional meal， and have a chance to buy pottery and other
crafts made by the women in the community.All the money the
cooperative earns goes back to the community， providing scholarships
for young women to continue their education.
　　“We face many challenges to keep our culture and traditions alive
and， like many mothers in my community， I didn’t teach my own
children our local language because I thought they’d have better
opportunities if I brought them up speaking English and Spanish.I’m
now trying to change that； I hope it’s not too late.My vision （愿景）
for the future is to keep protecting our roots， so we can pass our traditions
down to our children and the generations to come，” Timotea states.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講的是孩子們應該踢足球
的原因。
13. E　空前說如今孩子們踢足球比以前少了，空后說此外很多家長

的一個原因，E項符合語境，承上啟下。

責，G項（畢竟，如果一名球員表現不好，團隊的其他人都會受影
響）符合語境，解釋上文。
