C. 幫忙翻譯一下這篇英語閱讀理解

在日本，於每年一月的第二個星期一是法定節日，都會舉辨「成人節」，目的是為確認所有年屆20的年青人成為社會中的獨立成員。
日本的「成人節」源於古代。從前 ，大約15歲的日本男孩就被標記為成年，而女孩則大約在13歲左右。直到1876年，才將法定成年的年齡定在20歲。
在當日，很多女性選擇穿傳統服裝——一款特別設計的和服。對於未婚女性來說，這款和服是最正式的服飾。然而，這樣的一套正裝非常昂貴，所以一般人都不會專為出席這個場合花錢去買，而是穿著由長輩傳下來的或去租來穿。男士們也可以穿傳統服裝。
當地市政府會為年滿20的年青人舉辨特別慶祝活動。年滿20的人士都可獲得投票權，但也有新的責任。所以，在日本，20歲是一大轉折點。所有在前一年4月1日和當年的3月31日之間剛滿20歲，並在當地區居住的的年青人將被邀請參加慶典。政府官員會發表演講，並在儀式上向剛屆成年的年青人發放小禮物。
儀式結束後，年青人們多會歡聚一堂開派對。

原文如下：
Coming of Age Day is a Japanese holiday held on the second Monday of January. It is held in order to help all those who are 20 or over realize that they have become independent member of society.
Coming of Age ceremonies have been held since the ancient times in Japan. In the past, boys marked their change to althood when they were around 15, and girls celebrated their coming of age when they turned 13 or so. It wasn't until 1876 that 20 became the legal age of althood.
These days, many women choose to wear traditional clothing-- a kind of kimono with special designs. For unmarried women, this type of kimono is the most formal thing they can wear. However, such a full set of formal clothing is expensive, so it is usually either passed down or rented rather than being bought specially for the occasion. Men may also wear traditional clothing.
Local city governments host special coming of age ceremonies for 20-year-olds. They gain the right to vote on their twentieth birthday and have new responsibilities as well. So the age of 20 is a big turning point for the Japanese. All young alts who turned or will turn 20 between April 1 of the previous year and March 31 of the current one and who maintain residency in the area are invited to attend. Government officials give speeches, and small presents are handed out to the new alts ring the ceremonies.
After the ceremonies, the young alts often gather in groups and go to parties.

「Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather,」 Englishmen often say. This really lets us know something about England and it is true. From these words we see Englishmen believe that what happens in England is not the same as what happens in other places. And any foreigner staying in the country for longer than a few days will be sure of the truth of the words. Only in England, it has been said, can one go through four seasons in one day. The day may begin as a gentle spring morning, an hour or so later black clouds may have appeared from nowhere and it may rain heavily. At noon it may become winter and the temperature may drop by eight or more degrees. And then in the late afternoon the sky will clear up, the sun will begin to shine, and for an hour or two before darkness falls, it will be summer. In England one can go through almost every kind of weather except the best or the worst. ( some foreigners seem to think that for ten months of the year the country is covered by fog, this is not true.) We never know when the different kinds of weather will occur（發生）. Not only do we get a few different kinds of weather in one day, but we may get a winter weather in summer and a summer weather in winter.

H. 成人高考關於"新年"的英語閱讀

The Origin of Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Beginning of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coordination with the changes of Nature)。 Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree， however， that the word Nian， which in modern Chinese solely means "year"， was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
春節始於中國農歷，其起源因太古老，而無法考究。其中有一種說法是"年"原來是一種怪獸的名字。
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day， an old man came to their rescue， offering to sube Nian. To Nian he said， "I hear say that you are very capable， but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" So， it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.
傳說年有一張大嘴，一口能吞下很多人。人們很害怕。一天，一個老人來了，答應制伏年獸。老頭跟年獸說：我聽說你很有兩下子，可是你能吃了其他那些兇殘的野獸嗎?於是年獸就把很多其他野獸吃了，但也吃了不少家畜。
After that， the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests， people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left， he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again， because red is the color the beast feared the most.
後來，老頭騎著年獸消失了，臨走告訴人們，用紅色的紙把門和窗裝飾起來，以防年獸回來，因為年獸很害怕紅色。
From then on， the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian"， which may mean "Survive the Nian" becomes today "Celebrate the (New) Year" as the word "guo" in Chinese having both the meaning of "pass-over" and "observe". The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However， people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this， except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebration.
至此，趨趕年獸的方法流傳了一代又一代。過年這個詞，也由原來的躲避年售，變成現在的慶祝新年。過年帖紅紙，放鞭炮的習俗延續了下來。現在的人們，只有這種顏色，這種聲音能讓他們過年的興奮。
China's traditional festivals have evolved through the centuries from past major events. For instance， long ago when people had a bountiful harvest， they gathered and celebrated their good fortune with gala (祭日)performances. When natural disasters struck， they offered sacrifices to the gods and their ancestors， hoping for a blessing. The change of the seasons， flowers in spring， and the bright moon in autumn could all arouse their longing for a more beautiful life. Thus， creative activities were held to signify these events， Graally these activities developed into festivals.
中國的傳統節日大多是由一些重大事件發展而來的，例如：很久以前，如果人們有一個大豐收的話他們就會聚在一起慶祝。逐漸的這些活動就發展成了節日。
The most important festival in China is the Spring Festival. It is said that the Spring Festival evolved from an activity known as the Winter Sacrifice. It was a custom practiced by the people of primitive society.
據說春節源於原始社會中的人們在冬天舉行的獻祭。
As the cold winter began to recede (退卻)and the warm spring was about to begin， the people of an entire clan gathered together. They brought out their bounty(恩惠) from hunting， fishing and the field. They thanked the gods for the blessings of nature， including the mountains， rivers， the sun ，moon and stars， They thanked their ancestors， then they shared and enjoyed the sumptuous (華麗的)bounty of the land， sea， air and fields as they ate， danced and sang heartily.
隨著冬季的過去和暖春的來臨，整個氏族的人聚在一起，拿出他們在狩獵，打魚，種地中得到的。他們感謝各種神，感謝祖先。人們吃著，唱著，跳著來進行這種紀念活動。
In the beginning， their activity had no fixed date. But usually it was held at the end of each winter. Graally， through the years， it was celebrated at the end of the old year or the beginning of the new. With the changes and disintegration of primitive society， the form and content of the Winter Sacrifice also changed. Ultimately， it became a festival to bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new year. So it came to be called the Spring Festival.
開始，他們的活動沒有固定日期。但通常在冬天結束的時候進行。漸漸的變成了在一年的結尾開頭之際舉行。伴隨著原始社會的瓦解，冬天獻祭的形式與內容也發生了變化。最終變成了一個辭舊迎新的節日。

The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

老貓

一位老婦有隻貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。

於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記

住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the st and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【譯文】

一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果，他說：「我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。」然後他拿起蘋果，一把扔到土裡去。

他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，然後他說：「今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。」

他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。

不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處。

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. 總的來說在中國最重要的節日是春節,亦稱中國新年。對中國人民來說它的重要性就如方聖誕節對於西方人民。這個一年一次的節日日期取決於陰歷而不是格里歷，因此假日的時間變化從一月下旬到上旬2月。對普通的中國人，節日總是在除夕夜開始,結束於陰歷的第一個月的第五天。 但1第一個月的15號，通常稱燈會，在國家的大部分地區意味春節的正式結尾。

Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf." In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.
