But how did the holiday come to be? Did it originate out of a sweet, sincere wish at heart . or was it all a giant marketing plan to sell more goods?It is, in fact, the former. When Marian McQuade first thought of the idea for the holiday, commercialism (商业主义) was the last thing on her mind. In 1956, McQuade was trying to plan a celebration for the elderly members of her community. She made the sad discovery that many of the senior citizens in the nursing home didnt often receive visits from their families. So she set a day to appreciate grandparents.In any case, McQuade never wanted the holiday to be a money grab. Mothers Day actually has a similar story; in fact, its founder wanted it discontinued in the 1920s after she saw how commercialized it had become. However, it didnt stop card companies from getting excited about the future of a new holiday. Hallmark predicted that, by 1983, Grandparents Day would become the sixth highest card-selling holiday. But to their disappointment, it never became a commercial holiday.Many families have much more meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday. Danielle Kirsch celebrates by trying a new activity every year with her grandmother Elsie. “This year, well be painting together,” she tells RD.com. Molly Arnolds grandmother is no longer around, yet she still finds a way to honor the holiday. Arnold is the Chief Operations Officer of the Frank and Barbara Broyles Foundation, a charity she created in memory of her grandmother, Barbara Broyles, who passed away from Alzheimers disease (老年痴呆症). However, just because the holiday is not about commercialism doesnt mean you cant exchange gifts. Spruce.com actually suggests that grandparents give their grandchildren gifts, especially gifts that “honor family traditions”. For example, a meaningful gift from a grandpa to his granddaughter would be actually a birthday gift, but we think its a perfect Grandparents Day idea too.21. Why did McQuade found Grandparents Day?A. To grow her own business. B. To realize her parents dream.C. To remember her own grandparents. D. To call on people to care for the elderly.22. What does the underlined part “a money grab” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. A way to make big money.B. A celebration of ones wealth.C. A chance to give others money.D. A deal between family members.23. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday. B. Peoples attitudes toward the holiday.C. The effort to carry out the holiday. D. The future of the holiday.BThe award-winning Ballad fromTibet天籁梦想) by the Chinese director Zhang Wei is scheduled to premiere in New York City on Saturday, March 10.The film, which tells the story of four visually impaired kids from Chinas Tibet Autonomous Region embarking on a journey for their dream, will be presented at the Bronx Library Center on Saturday, at the Mid-Manhattan Library on Sunday, at Lehman College and Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan on Tuesday, and at the Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday.Based on a true story, Ballad from Tibet is about the four Tibetan kidsThupten, Sonam, Kelsang and Dromaachieving their dream against all odds.Thupten is a 10-year-old boy partially sighted in one eye and blind in the other.

They are all talented and want to sing their hearts out in front of national audience by participating in a Shenzhen-based reality show.The foursomes trip is indeed fun, but it turns out to be dangerous as well. Luckily, help is on hand along the way in the form of a wandering family, a shepherd, a motorcycle club, and a TV producers assistant.Ballad from Tibet has won the award for Best Childrens Feature Film at the 13th China International Childrens Film Festival in November 2017, and earned nominations at 17 different international childrens film festivals in Germany, Canada, Japan, Greece, Australia and India.24.What does the underlined word impaired in Paragraph 2 mean?A.damaged B.strengthened C.short-sighted D.amazing25.Why do the four children in Ballad from Tibet choose Shenzhen as their destination?A.Because their teacher advises them to go there to pursue their dream.B.Because they want to look for their parents there.C.Because they long to earn money there to support themselves.D.Because they want to take part in a Shenzhen-based reality show.26.What can we infer about Ballad from Tibet in the text?A.The teacher and the doctor are in favor of Thuptens decision.B.The film is going to be shown in New York City for the first time.C.Not all the four children in the film suffer from blindness.D.The children get to their destination very smoothly.27.What does the author think of Ballad from Tibet?A.Successful B.Negative C.Awful D.SurprisingCHeres an idea whose time has come: A flu shot that doesnt require an actual shot.For the first time, researchers have tested a flu vaccine patch (疫苗贴) in a human clinical trial and found that it delivered as much protection as a traditional injection with a needle. Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (免疫的) against the flu.Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech engineer Mark Prausnitz has come up with another method that uses “microneedles”. These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb.Yet theyre big enough to hold vaccine for three types of flu.None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group, while the volunteers in the regular needle group were more likely to experience pain. Overall, 70 percent of the volunteers who got vaccine patches said theyd rather use them again than get a traditional flu shot. The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.The biggest beneficiaries could be people in low- and middle-income countries, where flu vaccines are hard to come by. Reducing pain is nice, but other benefitsthe patch costs less，is easier to transport, doesnt require refrigeration, can be self-administered and doesnt cause waste of needlesare even better.“Microneedle Patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs,” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.28.
