Albuquerque"s Balloon Fiesta (or festival) Park. For ballooning fans worldwide, the Albuquerque International
Balloon Fiesta is a pilgrimage(朝圣). There"s something for everyone to enjoy-special shapes filled with equal
parts of hot air and wonder, and Balloon Glows that create a magical night landscape for spectators(or audience)to wander.
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a world-famous attraction and destination for kids of all ages. For more than three decades, the first week in October brings the smell of roasting chiles(辣椒) and the
beautiful, magical moving picture show of hot air balloons sailing silently through the crisp fall air.
Guests from all over the world come to Albuquerque to celebrate ballooning. Literally hundreds of balloons
will be taking flight from the Balloon Fiesta Park this year.
From its beginnings in 1972 with 13 balloons launching from a shopping mall parking lot, the Balloon Fiesta
has grown to various events launching year-round at the custom-designed, 365-acre Balloon Fiesta Park. Our
signature event remains Balloon Fiesta-which, with 700 balloons, is the largest ballooning event on earth, the
most photographed event on earth, and the largest yearly international event held in the United States.
Imagine 54 football fields, all put together. That"s the size of Balloon Fiesta Park"s 78-acre launch field! And

landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement
really got going in the 1960s, when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale (规模). Today,
works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of
Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
Land art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert
Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋码头), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake.
The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art. It can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It
is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.
Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay (衰落). That"s one of the biggest
differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only
for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which
is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.
B. American artists were the first to create Land Art
C. Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s
D. people have been creating Land Art for thousands of years
B. stones
C. salt
D. mud
B. He is an American artist.
C. He is a pioneer in creating Land Art.
D. He lives near the Great Salt Lake.
B. it offers the artists a chance to change nature
C. it will develop and be destroyed gradually by natural processes
D. it shows the extreme beauty of nature because artists use natural material
furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get
paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money.
One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Phillipine
Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks, monkey tails and salt were used as money in
parts of Africa.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the centre. People
strung (串联) them together and carried them from place to place.
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England
were made of tin (锡). Sweden and Russia used copper (铜) to make their money. Later some countries began
to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese
thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like
note from one person to another than the paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.

as in other countries, originated in the Middle East. The people who gave the world this alphabet were the
Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the Mediterranean, including Carthage in Africa and
Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters were represented by little pictures which represented sounds. The
Phoneacian A was aelph, which means"bull", and it was made from a little picture of a bull"s head. The letter B
was beth which meant"house", and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can still see today in Syria.
The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought and traded. The Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names, so aelph and beth became
alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same, but they have been turned sideways. If you know any
Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. You will see that the curve on the
right of the Greek A becomes the horns of a little bull.
Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been changes.
Latin developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other letters have been added since.
But really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served them so well for thousands of
years.
B. To tell the story of the western alphabet.
C. To compare the western alphabet with others.

① More letters were added to the alphabet.
② Little pictures represented sounds.
③ The letters were turned sideways.
④ The names of the letters were changed.
B. ①→③→②→④

in May, and Father"s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for
parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These
two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the
home. More fathers must help with child care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother"s Day people wear carnations
which have two colors. A red one symbolizes (象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is
dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are
dead visit the cemetery. On these two days families get together to have parties at home, as well as in
restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own
presents. These are valued (珍爱) more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is
important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone
companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
B. Parents give love and care to children
C. Parents educate children to be good persons.
D. Parents pass away before children grow up
B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past
C. Not all the children respect their parents
