　　The New Year in South Africa brings thousands of residents to the streets for a colorful minstrel (藝人) parade.Brightly-costumed marching choral groups celebrate a unique aspect of South Africa’s multiracial history.

　　Cape Town’s musical New Year’s tradition dates back more than a century,to the days when Dutch colonists brought slaves here from Southeast Asia.The slaves served as dockworkers,farm laborers and household servants.And,they were given one day off per year.

　　“This music comes from the slave culture.And the tradition started when the slaves were given off on the second of New Year.So on the second of January every year that was the free day for slaves,they would go around in the streets and march and play instruments,” said Bruinders,professor at the University of Cape Town.

　　The slaves copied European and American minstrels who visited the Cape.Eventually,a typical South African sound developed.Bruinders explains that the beat and harmonies of the music still reflect where it came from.“It’s a poor community.They don’t have new shiny instruments.It’s not perfect,they were not taught.They were all handed down from father to son,” she said.

　　Today the minstrels are a holiday tradition among Cape Town’s mixed-race or “colored” residents,many of whose ancestors are slaves.A downtown parade involves thousands of participants.Dozens of minstrel groups practice throughout the year,one of which is called The Pennsylvanians,named after American singers from the state of Pennsylvania who influenced the Cape minstrel tradition.

　　“Well,it may look like neighborhood choral groups,but you will be amazed to see the academically qualified people—music instructors,marching instructors,people from the navy—that are behind the scenes,” said Ahmed Ismail,The Pennsylvanians’ musical director.

　　The minstrels dress up in face paint and colorful satin (綢緞) costumes with fancy hats.One elder,Zane Ibrahim,says it is a moment for members of Cape Town’s colored community to honor their roots.“There is a time where you have to celebrate the very fact of being alive.And when you see these people,when they’re wearing satin,you see a totally different human being.You see a spirit that belongs to us,” he said.

　　The minstrel carnival remains an annual social high point especially for the working class,who continue to celebrate their tradition by singing—in the New Year.

　　5.The tradition of Cape Town’s New Year minstrel parade develops from 　.?

　　A.western minstrels

　　B.Dutch colonists

　　C.the slaves from southeast Asia

　　D.American singers

　　6.The Pennsylvanians is a minstrel group 　.?

　　A.whose members come from the navy

　　B.that is made up of American artists

　　C.that involves well-educated people

　　D.whose ancestors are all slaves

　　7.People go to the streets for the yearly minstrel parade because 　.?

　　A.they want to remember the special South Africa’s history

　　B.they want to celebrate the slaves’ freedom from their masters

　　C.they can wear all kinds of colorful but funny clothes and hats

　　D.they expect to do more for the poor people’s living conditions

　　8.The best title for this passage is 　.?

　　A.The New Year in South Africa

　　B.South Africa’s Multiracial History

　　C.A Typical South African Sound

　　D.Cape Town’s New Year Parade

　　There is one type of illness in the world that affects more people than anything else and is very deadly.What is this illness?It is depression.Serious depression requires professional treatment.　1　 Everyone’s circumstances are different,but the causes of self-induced (自我誘導(dǎo))depression are common:low self-esteem,hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.　2　?

　　1.Examine ourselves and set a goal.

　　First we must look at ourselves,truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to achieve.If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven’t or can’t do anything,then one step is needed—to set goals.

　　　3　 Think of them as sand;one grain may be insignificant but as a group they form the beach.Once you have set and attained small goals for yourself,move on to slightly larger,more challenging goals.?

　　2.　4　?

　　There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet.In my opinion,a person who eats a lot of take-out and fast food is feeding their body junk.Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals.If your physical body is happy,it’s much easier for your mental body or “thinking ability” to be happy.

　　3.Think about good things and smile

　　Think about good memories you had,or generally think of things that make you smile.　5　 A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day.?

　　If you follow these steps,positive change is inevitable.

　　A.Go on a diet and keep a good figure.

　　B.Feed ourselves well and be physically health.

　　C.Good memories help you keep a good state of mind.

　　D.Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain.

　　E.However,self-induced depression is something each of us can change.

　　F.Remember,everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free.

　　G.So how can we change the way we think,feel,and cultivate a cheerful attitude?

　　Ⅲ.書面表達(dá)
