People eat Laba Porridge on that day. The porridge is also called "Eight Treasures Porridge", because it usually has at least eight things. Rice, beans, dried fruits and peanuts are very popular in the porridge.
On the night before the festival, mothers are busy preparing their porridge. They cook it over a slow fire from midnight until

Head· when you want to show your confidence,keep your head level(平直).If you are monitor in class, you can also take on this position(姿势)when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little to one side.
Legs.Your legs will move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies.If you are at interviews, try to keep them still.
Mouth. When you are thinking,you often purse your lips(撅起嘴).You might also use this position to hold back angry words you don’t wish to say.However, it will probably still be noticed,and people will know you’re not pleased.
What plays an important part in communication according to the passage?

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you might simply say something like this, “I’m afraid I’ll have to find a cheap place because I don’t have 1) _______ ________.” The other person may say, "OK., I’ll meet you at McDonald’s. "This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, "Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson’s ", or "I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It’s great. "This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him, and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may simply say, "Thank you. That would be very nice."
American customs(习俗) about who pays for a date(约会) are much the same as those in other parts of the world.3) In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a woman who is a university(大学) student or is working in the business world will usually pay her own way during the date. If a man asks her to dinner, outside the normal working hours ,it means "come as my guest(客人). " So you can see it is better for you to make the question clear at the very beginning.

Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place, but what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And Computer Studies lessons will be one of the most important subjects in schools then.
People will work _______ hours than they do now and they will have _____ free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.
Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.
