Happy, Happy Chinese New Year by Demi Hitz

In a book that is itself a celebration, Demi explains the ideas behind the Chinese New Year festival. The last 15 days of the old year are spent cleaning and preparing (Wash your hair and get a new haircut. Pay the debts that you owe and collect what is owed to you!). On the eve of the new moon, a special feast is prepared… The first 15 days of the New Year are spent celebrating with lion dances, firecrackers, and other activities.

Demi has long been interested in Eastern art and philosophy, which inspired her to create this book about the Chinese New Year celebration. She has written and illustrated more than 20 books for children, including The Empty Pot, Gandhi, and Kites: Magic Wishes that Fly Up to the Sky.

本文介紹了兩本關(guān)于介紹中國新年的書籍。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“Happy, Happy Chinese New Year by Demi Hitz；In a book that is itself a celebration, Demi explains the ideas behind the Chinese New Year festival.”可知，Happy, Happy Chinese New Year是由黛米·希茨所寫的一本書。故選A。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“The last 15 days of the old year are spent cleaning and preparing”可知，在新年到來之前，中國人忙著打掃和準(zhǔn)備。故選B。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“Demi has long been interested in Eastern art and philosophy, which inspired her to create this book about the Chinese New Year celebration.”可知，黛米一直對東方藝術(shù)和哲學(xué)感興趣，這本書是關(guān)于中國新年慶典的，而且她還寫了其他面向孩子的書，所以西方的孩子們最有可能閱讀這本書，去了解中國的春節(jié)。故選A。

【4】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Music, physical movement, art, and food all add to the ambiance of taking an imaginary trip to China during the Chinese New Year.”可知，音樂，身體運(yùn)動，藝術(shù)和食物都增加了在中國新年期間去中國旅行的氛圍，所以當(dāng)作者讀了這本書以后，他們將有一個強(qiáng)烈的愿望，在春節(jié)期間訪問中國。故選B。
