Glastonbury Festival, one of the pioneer fest...

Glastonbury Festival, one of the pioneer festivals, is famous not only for its amazing bands, but also for its wonderful performances in many fields surrounding (围绕) the stages. It attracts over 130,000 people every year, who join in the three-day party to celebrate the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.

Glastonbury Festival has been held on Worthy Farm in Somerset since 1970. This year, all sorts of singers and bands were there, from the likes of Beyoncé, Jessie J, to my favorite — Paolo Nutini, who I really wish I could have met!

We drove straight in to one of the muddiest (泥泞的) Glastonbury Festivals ever! We came to our camp site, carrying enough clothes for a weekend of extreme weather conditions, and spent an hour or so putting up the tent. On the second day it began to rain and didn’t stop for the rest of the day. We sat in the tent waiting for it to stop, and after several hours we realized that it wouldn’t. When the need for food became too strong we put on boots and raincoats and made our way across many muddy fields.

There is something for everyone at the festival — my favourite place is the Circus Field, which is full of interactive (互动的) performances. Also, I love the Kidz Field, where famous CBBC stars perform, and where you can get your face painted then run around on a climbing frame (框架) with dragons.

1.According to the text, Glastonbury Festival is actually a _____.

A. harvest festival

B. music festival

C. film festival

D. flower festival

2.What attracted the author most at this year’s festival?

A. Paolo Nutini.

B. CBBC stars.

C. The food sold in the festival.

D. The performance in the Circus Field.

3.Which of the following about Glastonbury Festival is NOT true?

A. It started in 1970.

B. It lasts three days.

C. It is usually held on rainy days.

D. It celebrates the longest day of the year.

On the day of Chongyang Festival，one traditional activity is to climb mountains.However，mountains are not everywhere for people to climb.Therefore，for those people who live in flat regions far from any mountain，the problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes.The Chinese word for cake is Gao，a homonym of the Chinese word for high.Mountains are high，so eating cakes can，by a stretch of the imagination，take the place of going for a climb.

The tradition of eating cakes in September is originated from the ancient times.Though the name of “Gao” started from the Six Dynasties，the cakes had already existed in Han Dynasty，which was called “Er”．in Chinese at that time.It is made of rice flour，which is classified into two types：paddy(水稻) rice flour and millet(粟米) rice flour.They are mixed together，which is named “Er”．In September，the millet is ripe.It is regarded as the food just in season，which is offered to ancestors as sacrifices.Chongyang Cake comes from the food just in season in September.That is why Chongyang Cake is recommended for offering sacrifices to ancestors on the day of Chongyang Festival.

In the Six Dynasties，cakes became the food for the season as the tradition Chongyang Festival is formed with the promotion of mountain­climbing activity.As the cakes appeared in different forms，Chongyang Cake was also called Hua (Colorful) Cake in the Ming & Qing Dynasties and became the food for the season in urban and rural areas.Hua Cake is divided into Unpolished Hua Cake，Refined Hua Cake and Gold Coin Hua Cake.Unpolished Hua Cake is marked with caraway (香菜) leaves，sandwiched with date，peach kernel (果仁) and other unpolished dry fruits.Refined Hua Cake is made in either two or three layers，with each sandwiched with refined glazed fruits，such as preserved apple，peach and apricot.

Hanukkah

Hanukkah (光明节) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only enough holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.

At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.
