It's quite common to greet friends or relatives with a hug in my country.
Hugging is an important way to show our happiness, worries or missing. For example, we always hug our teammates after winning games; If one of our friends has a bad day, we will give him a warm hug; If we miss someone, a close hug is essential (必不可少的) when we meet again.
Of course, people in different countries have different views on hugging. Since I arrived in China, I've noticed that Chinese people seem very coy about that. When it comes to hugs, most the them feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be intimate (亲密的) in their culture. It only happens between really close people.
But people's ideas towards hugging can change. I remember I've watched a TV show about a special party in Shanghai. A local artist held the party. He invited strangers and hoped that they could feel the warmth between people by hugging. Some Chinese people there clearly looked uneasy (不安的). However, after the party, they changed their minds. They thought hugging doesn't have to be embarrassed and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mum or dad, give her or him a hug—see how it makes you feel.
(1)、How do friends in the writer's country usually greet each other?A、By kissing. B、By hugging. C、By nodding. D、By shaking hands.(2)、What does the writer do to show the importance of hugging?A、He lists numbers. B、He asks questions. C、He gives examples. D、He tells stories.(3)、Which word is close to the underlined word "coy"?A、Shy. B、Brave. C、Lazy. D、Active.(4)、Why did the artist hold the party?A、To celebrate his birthday. B、To show different cultures. C、To know about different ideas. D、To let people feel warmth by hugging.(5)、How do some Chinese people feel about hugging after the party?A、Uneasy. B、Nice. C、Embarrassed. D、Unimportant.四、任务型阅读

7. 阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
My father is quiet most of the time. There is one thing that gets him excited. Just say the word "garbage" to him! Or I should say, he is very interested in dealing with (处理) the garbage problem.
Last year, my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away. Each family wastes a large amount of food yearly——nearly 0. 25 ton. We usually throw away the unfinished rice, dishes, and more.
However, there is something we can do with it. If we properly deal with food waste, it can be changed into a kind of rich, dark earth known as compost. This compost can be added to vegetable gardens to make the plants grow really well.
To deal with food waste in my family, my father came up with a good idea: Instead of throwing away all our food waste, we put it into the compost bin (储物箱). Mother Nature will slowly turn it from garbage into earth. Three months later, we were surprised to find that it was full of rich compost material (材料)!
Next time you eat outside, just order what you need. Similarly, just make what you need at home when cooking. This also helps to avoid wasting food. Do you have any other ideas? Think about it.
(1)、What is the writer's father really interested in?(2)、How much food waste does each family make yearly?(3)、What can food waste be changed into according to (根据) Paragraph 3?(4)、What was the father's idea to deal with food waste?(5)、In your daily life, what can you do to reduce food waste?五、补全对话
