Ⅳ. Cloze test.
My good friend Frank is a boy from Germany. He 14 the Spring Festival with my family in China this year. He is very 15 to know more about the festival.
Today is New Year's Eve. My parents are preparing 16 the Spring Festival. Frank and I go to my grandpa's 17. There, Grandpa tells us the old story of “Nian”—a wild monster. It came to villages every year on this day. To scare it away, people used big sounds, strong lights and 18 things. So now, people light fireworks and 19 red clothes for good luck.
20 finishing the story, Grandpa smiles and says, “Now, children, it's time to write the Spring Festival couplets!”
Grandpa takes out some beautiful red 21 and begins to write with a brush.
“Why do you write a couplet on 22 pieces of paper, Grandpa?” Frank asks.
“Every couplet has the first line(上联), the second line(下联) and the streamer(横批),” Grandpa says.
“That is so fun. Can I have a 23?” Frank asks.
“Of course!” Grandpa smiles.
Frank and I begin to practise.
“Great! All of you do it well,” Grandpa says. “Next, let's 24 this couplet together. We put the first line on the right of the door, the second line on the left and the streamer on the 25 of the door.”
“Grandpa, how to 26 them, from right or left?” Frank asks.
“A good question. We 27 read a couplet from right to left,” Grandpa says.
Then we all read it together.
It is really a 28 day for us all.
