town in the state of Virginia，is known for its horses.For more than 50 years，Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行)Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields.They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox.But first，these hunters ride in the yearly parade，wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.John Hale，a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town.“We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit，but it incorporates a lot of the old traditions.”The nighttime hay ride is one such tradition.Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay.The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.There are some newer traditions，too.Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort.He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day.He says Middleburg can be a calming，peaceful place without tension.“Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back，to take a deep breath，and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace，theres really an opportunity where youre allowed to step off for a little bit.”Parade organizers say more than 13，000 people attend even in belowfreezing weather.But if you ask，you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade：“I come here because Im from a small town.I like how everybody comes together.”“I live right down that street；right there.And thats my dog.”Middleburg looks its best at Christmastime.That may be why so many people return each year.【文章大意】本文講述了位于美國弗吉尼亞州的Middleburg的人們是如何慶祝圣誕節(jié)的。1Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AMiddleburg Christmas ParadeBA Small Town Known for HorsesCChristmas Traditions in

home.On the way，he fell ill and it took him to his death bed.With death staring him in his face，Alexander realized his conquests，his great army，his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.So，he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last.He called his generals and said，“I will depart from this world soon，and I have three wishes.Please carry them out without fail.”“My first desire is that，”said Alexander，“my physicians alone must carry my coffin.”After a pause，he continued，“Secondly，I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave，the path leading to the graveyard be strewn(撒滿)with gold，silver and precious stones which I have collected.”The King continued，“My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin.”Alexanders favorite general kissed his hands and pressed them to his heart.“Oh King，we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled.But tell us why do you make such strange wishes？”Alexander took a deep breath and said，“I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt.I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies.They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death.So let people not take life for granted.”“The second wish of strewing gold，silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me.I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me.Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.”“And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin，I wish people to know that I came emptyhanded into this world and emptyhanded out of this world.”With these words，the King closed his eyes.Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.【文章大意】本文主要講述了亞歷山大大帝臨死前的三個(gè)愿望和他想傳遞給人們的一些啟示。5The first paragraph suggests that Alexander Awas conquering many
