Unusual Festivals

    Every country has its own festivals to celebrate different things. Some festivals are more interesting than others because they are unusual—and a lot more fun! Here are just a few unusual festivals from around the world.

    Holi, the festival of colours, is in India, Nepal and other parts of the world. Holi celebrates the end of winter and the coming of spring and it lasts for many days. During the festival, people throw coloured powder (粉末) and water at each other. It's one of the most colourful festivals in the world.

    The only colour during another famous festival is red. "La Tomatina" is in Bunol Spain, in August. People come from all over the world for a big food fight. All over the city, people run through the streets throwing red tomatoes at each other. The streets get very messy but everyone has a good time.

    Another strange and cold festival, Quyllur Rit'i, is in Peru in every May or June. People celebrate with music and dancing on top of a glacier (冰川)! The festival lasts for three days and, at the end, everyone walks out together carrying torches of fire.

    Finally, how about a festival with animals? On the last Sunday of November, people in Lopburi, Thailand, invite some unusual guests to dinner at the Monkey Buffet Festival. Hundreds of monkeys come and they eat a lot of fruit, nuts and vegetables.

When people walk into Ninth Primary School in Zhongning County, almost everyone will be amazed by its playground. The playground has over 30 basketball racks(架子), over 40 ping-pong tables and eight football fields of different sizes. Although Ninth Primary School has a short history, it has already become famous for its sports characteristics(特色). The magazine invited one student and the two headmasters at this school to share their ideas about_sports._

Wang Junyaoa student

I think that basketball has changed me from a weak girl to a strong girl. I am now     in Class Seven, Grade Six. I began to play basketball when I was in the first grade. Recently, in preparation for the competition, my friends and I train for about an hour every day. Last year, we didn't do well in the game, and this year we all want to win first place. 

Liu Mingxingthe headmaster

Starting from the second term of the first grade, each class has to set up six sports teams. I think when children are interested in sports, it can help them a lot. They will not have the energy (精力)and time to do meaningless things, and many educational problems will be solved

Zhang Dongthe vice(副的)headmaster

Sports are the best education, as it can help shape a chid's qualities (品质). Every competition a child experiences can develop their abiity to fice chalenges and teach them how to work hard.

Winter is the best season of the year. During the winter, months, temperatures are usually colder and there are fewer hours of daylight. The winter months in most of China are November, December, and January. 

Cold winter temperatures are caused by the tilting (倾斜) of the Earth. When Earth's Northern Hemisphere (半球) is tilted away from the sun, there are fewer hours of daylight and the temperature is colder. When the Northern Hemisphere tilts towards the sun, there is more daylight time and the temperatures are warmer. The tilting of the Earth as it spins causes the seasons to change. 

Animals have special ways of preparing themselves for winter. Some animals, like birds and butter- flies fly long distances, or migrate, to warmer places during the winter months. Other animals such as bears, gophers, snakes go to sleep through the winter. Squirrels and raccoons (浣熊) don't migrate or hibernate. Instead, they gather enough food during the fall months, so they have plenty to eat during the winter. 

In some areas, winter is a time when snow falls and gathers on the ground. People who live in these places can enjoy special winter activities like skiing or snowboarding. They can also build snow- men. When the water in lakes and rivers freeze, people can ice skate or go ice fishing!

 请从方框内选择适当的词,并根据需要用其正确形式填空,使文章语法正确、完整连贯。注意:每空一词,每词仅用一次,有两词为多余项。
