Question

Hi, Louis!
I’m writing to tell you something about the customs(風俗) and festivals.
Everyone loves holidays since one doesn’t need to go to school or work. Although all holidays mean no school and work, but not all of them are the same. On some of them you go out with friends; on others you stay home to eat, talk, and have fun with your family. For example in the USA, everyone thinks New Year’s Eve and New Year are both for playing with friends. Christmas is the time to stay home and exchange gifts with family members. The opposite (相反) is true in Japan though. For example, in Japan, New Year is for spending time with the family to eat, talk, have fun, and go to the temples. But Christmas is for boy and girl friends to go out and exchange gifts. Originally Christmas should be to celebrate(慶祝) the birth of Christ.
I have been interested in foreign customs since I was little. If you learn these different holiday customs, you will learn about different histories and cultures. This is much more interesting than learning them at the library from morning to evening.
Loves,

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是不同的國家有不同的節日習俗，文章中給我們舉了新年和圣誕節的例子來證明。通過了解這些不同的節日習俗，我們可以了解不同國家的文化很歷史。
小題1:細節理解題。根據文章的第二段Although all holidays mean no school and work, but not all of them are the same，雖然所有的節假日意味著不上學，不上班，但并不是全部都一樣。故這里是說通常情況下，在節假日的時候是可以不上學或不上班的。故這個句子表達正確。
小題2:細節理解題。根據文章的第二段可知，在美國圣誕節的時候是要呆在家里，和家人在一起；但是在日本卻是恰恰相反的。圣誕節的時候，男女朋友要出去玩，交換禮物。故這個句子表達錯誤。
小題3:細節理解題。根據文章的第三段我們可以知道，每個國家有不同的過節假日的風俗習慣，因此，慶祝節日的方式在不同的國家里是不一樣的。故這句話表達錯誤。
小題4:細節理解題。根據文章的最后一段If you learn these different holiday customs, you will learn about different histories and cultures.，如果你了解了這些不同的節日習俗，你就能了解不同的歷史和文化。由此可知，這句話的表述是正確的。
小題5:主旨大意題。這篇短文給我們介紹了不同國家有不同的節日習俗，不只是日本的節日習俗。通過了解這些不同的風俗習慣，我們可以了解不同國家的歷史和文化。故這句話表述錯誤。
