China is a large country. The population is over 1.3 billion. It has a special culture with a very long history.

Chinese food plays an important role for Chinese families. Different foods have special meanings. The main difference is that Chinese people eat their meals with chopsticks. One of the main foods in Chinese culture is rice. Tea is a favourite drink and it is popular in the market.

Chinese calendar is different from the one used in Western countries. New Year's Day is in late winter. It is also called the Spring Festival. It has a big celebration of ringing out the old and ringing in the new. It has special foods and traditions. For example, sweeping the floor before New Year's Day sweeps away all the old year's bad luck.

The Chinese zodiac(生肖), known as Sheng Xiao, follows a twelve cycle. Each year is named for an animal. These animal signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For example, the year that begins in 2016 is the year of the monkey.

The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person, I was studying in the third grade. I saw some disabled people before, but I never really knew or cared about what those persons go through(經(jīng)歷)．

When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a common student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism(孤獨癥). He sometimes had random outbursts(隨意的發(fā)作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that. When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him. After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating(模仿) Derek, and laughing about it.

Then one day, Derek's mum came to our class and talked with us. She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts—he was trying to communicate. Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets. When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning.

After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends. Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us. My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.

Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently, I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her.

1.What did the author think of the boy before the mother's talk?

A. Friendly. B. Humorous.

3.After Derek's mum's talk, we did the following EXCEPT that ________．

A. we became friends

B. we played together

C. we played jokes on him

D. we communicated with him

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Living with an open mind
