Do you still remember the great snacks in your childhood? Do they remind you of your happy childhood?

Sugar Figure（糖人）

In the old days, you could always find people making sugar figures at the school gate. First, the maker would take a little maltose(麥芽糖）with a small spoon, using

his hands to make a figure, such as the Monkey King, the White Dragonet, and so on. It was not expensive, only 1 yuan for one. If one child bought a sugar figure, many other children would crowd around and admire it.

Dada Bubble Gum（泡泡糖）

Almost every kid is fond of bubble gum. They often gather together to see who gets the largest bubble. I still remember my cousin once blew a big bubble and then it broke, covering her face with gum! It was cheap. I could get 2 for 1 yuan.

Baby Face Ice Cream

We prefer to call it snowman ice cream. It tastes very delicious. It was rather

expensive; I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece, which was not easy for me to buy them those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would last for several days.

Malt Sugar Candy

Malt Sugar Candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China, and is offered during the days just before the Spring Festival. It’s delicious but cheap, and you could get five pieces for 1 yuan. My friends and I would get together to enjoy Tangguar. What happy time!

There is an unusual holiday in the US that falls on the fourth Thursday of April every year. It is very different from Christmas, Thanksgiving, or other well-known holidays. It is called Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. This holiday is meant to be educational as well as fun. The idea is simple, and the name says it all. It is a day for working parents to show their kids what they do all day.

Although this holiday doesn’t seem very complex(復(fù)雜的), it has meaningful purposes. There are many

good reasons why a child should know what his or her parents do at work. For one thing, it is hard for children to understand the life of an adult when all they know is school. Therefore, this holiday helps children learn what it means to have a job. It also helps them learn about the differences and similarities between their world and the grown-up world. When young people know more about their parents’ lives, they can form stronger parent-child relationships. This alone is worth a day of celebration.

1.This year’s Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day falls on _____ .

2.The underlined part in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___ .

A.every holiday needs a name

B. the name says it is known to all

C. the name explains the idea clearly

D. it is very different from Christmas

3.The writer thinks the holiday is ____.

A.usual B. simple C. complex D. meaningful
