There are many different festivals around the world. Usually we know about some traditional ones. But here are some special festivals in the world. Have you heard of them? 

The Straw (稻草) Bear Festival

It is a traditional celebration in one small town in the UK. It runs for three days every year in January. The festival celebrates the beginning of the agricultural year. People there enjoy watching bear dances. A few men wear straw bear costumes (演出服) and dance for others.

The Cologne Carnival (狂欢节)

It is one of Europe's biggest street festivals. It starts at 11:11 a. m. on November 11 and lasts till February 14 next year. Local people call the time the "crazy"season. During the festival, people put on colorful clothes and play music to celebrate it in the street. The festival has a history of 197 years. Each year, about 1.5 million people take part in it.

Day of the Dead

It is celebrated in Mexico every year between October 31 and November 2. It's not a scary day like its name. Instead, it's a colorful holiday. People believe the spirits of their ancestors (祖先) will return to the world of the living on that day. It's believed that sharing food and drinks keeps the spirits alive and the spirits can be with them in this way.

Improvements in technology often happen overnight. Some gadgets get smaller and faster. Others are replaced by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use.

①____

 Do you have a landline at home? These are phones that people plug(插入) into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn't use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines.

②____

 People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks(软盘). The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1.44 MB. You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage(储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone!

③ ____

 It's easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days.

 Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old. What do you think will be next to disappear?
