C. 帮忙翻译一下这篇英语阅读理解

在日本，于每年一月的第二个星期一是法定节日，都会举辨「成人节」，目的是为确认所有年届20的年青人成为社会中的独立成员。
日本的「成人节」源于古代。从前 ，大约15岁的日本男孩就被标记为成年，而女孩则大约在13岁左右。直到1876年，才将法定成年的年龄定在20岁。
在当日，很多女性选择穿传统服装——一款特别设计的和服。对于未婚女性来说，这款和服是最正式的服饰。然而，这样的一套正装非常昂贵，所以一般人都不会专为出席这个场合花钱去买，而是穿著由长辈传下来的或去租来穿。男士们也可以穿传统服装。
当地市政府会为年满20的年青人举辨特别庆祝活动。年满20的人士都可获得投票权，但也有新的责任。所以，在日本，20岁是一大转折点。所有在前一年4月1日和当年的3月31日之间刚满20岁，并在当地区居住的的年青人将被邀请参加庆典。政府官员会发表演讲，并在仪式上向刚届成年的年青人发放小礼物。
仪式结束后，年青人们多会欢聚一堂开派对。

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（发生）. 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.
( ) 1. “Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather,” What does this mean?
A. England people like their weather very much.
B. In England there’s only one season in a year.
C. In England the weather is always changeable.
( ) 2. What does the writer mean by “one can go through four seasons in one day?
A. English weather is always bad.
B. English weather is most changeable.
C. There are more than four seasons in England.
( ) 3. How many seasons can one actually go through in England in one day according to the paragraph（段落）
A. 3 B. 4 C. 2
( ) 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. There is not extreme（极端）weather in England.
B. Different kinds of weather may occur suddenly.
C. For ten months of the year England is covered by fog.
( ) 5. What question may the passage answer?
A. What is weather? B. What is English weather like?
C. What’s the difference between climate and weather?

H. 成人高考关于"新年"的英语阅读

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.
春节始于中国农历，其起源因太古老，而无法考究。其中有一种说法是"年"原来是一种怪兽的名字。
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.
传说年有一张大嘴，一口能吞下很多人。人们很害怕。一天，一个老人来了，答应制伏年兽。老头跟年兽说：我听说你很有两下子，可是你能吃了其他那些凶残的野兽吗?于是年兽就把很多其他野兽吃了，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.
后来，老头骑着年兽消失了，临走告诉人们，用红色的纸把门和窗装饰起来，以防年兽回来，因为年兽很害怕红色。
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，趋赶年兽的方法流传了一代又一代。过年这个词，也由原来的躲避年售，变成现在的庆祝新年。过年帖红纸，放鞭炮的习俗延续了下来。现在的人们，只有这种颜色，这种声音能让他们过年的兴奋。
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.
中国的传统节日大多是由一些重大事件发展而来的，例如：很久以前，如果人们有一个大丰收的话他们就会聚在一起庆祝。逐渐的这些活动就发展成了节日。
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.
据说春节源于原始社会中的人们在冬天举行的献祭。
As the cold winter began to recede (退却)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 (华丽的)bounty of the land， sea， air and fields as they ate， danced and sang heartily.
随着冬季的过去和暖春的来临，整个氏族的人聚在一起，拿出他们在狩猎，打鱼，种地中得到的。他们感谢各种神，感谢祖先。人们吃着，唱着，跳着来进行这种纪念活动。
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.
开始，他们的活动没有固定日期。但通常在冬天结束的时候进行。渐渐的变成了在一年的结尾开头之际举行。伴随着原始社会的瓦解，冬天献祭的形式与内容也发生了变化。最终变成了一个辞旧迎新的节日。

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."

一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。

于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记

住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”

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.

【译文】

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

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. 总的来说在中国最重要的节日是春节,亦称中国新年。对中国人民来说它的重要性就如方圣诞节对于西方人民。这个一年一次的节日日期取决于阴历而不是格里历，因此假日的时间变化从一月下旬到上旬2月。对普通的中国人，节日总是在除夕夜开始,结束于阴历的第一个月的第五天。 但1第一个月的15号，通常称灯会，在国家的大部分地区意味春节的正式结尾。
The Wolf and the Crane狼与鹭鸶
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed:
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.
