5. The origin of Sunday In the first centuries, Sunday, being made a festival in honor of Christ's resurrection, received attention as a day of religious services and recreation, but seventh-day Sabbath rest (based on the Jewish Shabbat, because the earliest Christians were all Jews) was still observed by "almost all churches". Often first-day worship (Sunday morning or Saturday night) was practiced alongside observance of seventh-day Sabbath rest and was a widespread Christian tradition by the 2nd century, attested in patristic writings of the 2nd century; over time, Sunday thus came to be known as Lord's Day. These early Christians believed that the resurrection and ascension of Christ signals the renewal of creation, making the day on which God accomplished it a day analogous to the first day of creation when God made the light. Some of these writers referred to Sunday as the "eighth day". The 1st-century or 2nd-century Epistle of Barnabas or Pseudo-Barnabas on Is. 1:13 stated "Sabbaths of the present age" were abolished in favor of one millennial seventh-day Sabbath that ushers in the "eighth day" and commencement of a new world. Accordingly, the eighth-day assembly (Saturday night or Sunday morning) marks both the resurrection and the new creation. Thus first-day observance was a common regional practice at that time. By the mid-2nd century, Justin Martyr wrote in his apologies about the cessation of Sabbath observance and the celebration of the first (or eighth) day of the week (not as a day of rest, but as a day for gathering to worship): "We all gather on the day of the sun" (τ? το? ?Ηλ?ου λεγομ?νη ?μ?ρ?, recalling both the creation of light and the resurrection). He argued that Sabbath was not kept before Moses, and was only instituted as a sign to Israel and a temporary measure because of Israel's sinfulness, no longer needed after Christ came without sin. Curiously he also draws a parallel between the Israelite practice of circumcision on the eighth day, and the resurrection of Jesus on the "eighth day". 9. Which of the following statement about Sunday is NOT TRUE?

A、Sunday is the festival in honor of Christ’s resurrection.

B、Some of these writers referred to Sunday as the "eighth day".

C、Justin Martyr argued that Sabbath was kept before Moses.

D、The eighth-day assembly (Saturday night or Sunday morning) marks both the resurrection and the new creation.

" In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 56 women, and even more 57 if the inquirer is a man.

In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 60 their age, especially if they feel they look young 61 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 62 question like "How old are you?". If elderly people want to talk about--their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 63 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 64 how old they are. 65 such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 66 They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 67 that they look very old! 68 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 69 that they are not interested to know how old other peo-ple are. They may ask someone else 70 the information, 71 they may try to 72 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 73 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 74 , but this is not always the 75。根据以上内容，回答题。
