Some festivals are celebrated by the whole country, while others will be unique to a single city or area, but either way festivals play an important role in a cultures identity. Here we put together four festivals that are definitely worth checking out. 1.SongkranThailandIf youre in Thailand between April 13th and 15th,get ready for worlds biggest water fight. The celebration marks the beginning of the Thai New Year, a time when water is meant to purify (净化) and renew. In Bangkok or Chang Mai, the water fights can last up to six days, as Thais and tourists fight each other in the streets with hoses (胶管) and water balloons. While this is the most popular activity, Songkran is also a time when people visit elders and monks to pay their respects to the New Year.2.La TomatinaBunol,SpainEvery last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is covered in thousands of crushed (压碎的) tomatoes in the worlds biggest food fight. Many people wear goggles (护目镜) during this hour of messy fun, as the town bees a red river of disorder.3.Boryeong Mud FestivalBoryeong, R.O. KoreaLet the mudslinging begin! For two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as way of promoting (推广) the regions mineral-rich mud has turned into a cheerful party, plete with music and fireworks. While the mud is usually only available in cosmetic (化妆品) products, here you can cake yourself in grey all you want.4.KoninginnedagThe NetherlandsAlthough their Queens birthday is really during the winter, she celebrates it on April 30,the countrys official “Queens Day” since 1949.

They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation. I will give you two examples.Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. It was very crowded so there was no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I didnt know why they were not at school. They were talking and laughing loudly. It was difficult for me to read my newspaper with all the noise .At the next stop, a heavily pregnant(怀孕的) woman and her daughter got on with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but they did nothing. I had to ask them to give the woman and her daughter seats. They unwillingly did so but gave me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was pleased that the teenagers didnt follow me.Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friends family. I was glad to see his children, who I hadnt seen for ten years. During the dinner, I started talking about world politics with the children. It soon became clear that they didnt know much about it. They couldnt tell me the name of the Queen of Britain or President of Russia. All they knew about was the Internet or which singers were the most beautiful. In my days, students knew the kings, the queens and the presidents of every country in Europe.I worry about the future of China. How could these young people bee responsible workers and parents? They sit around in McDonalds or Internet bars after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps some readers can give us some ideas about what to do with this “lost generation”.Yours sincerely,Concerned25. For what purpose Mr. Concerned writes this letter to the editor?A. To show how rude the teenagers were. B. To express his worry about his friends childrens future.C. To show how lazy young people nowadays are. D. To plain the way some young people acted.26.When Mr. Concerned met the teenagers on the underground, he .A. knew there was no hope for him to get a seat B. expected that they would get off at the next stopC. felt he would meet with some trouble from them D. thought they should have been studying rather than staying there27.Why did Mr. Concerned feel disappointed at the dinner?A. Because he was not politely treated. B. Because the children cared more about the Internet than him.C. Because the children did not know much about world politics.D. Because he had different opinions on the world politics from his friend.28.What does Mr. Concerned refer to by saying “lost generation” ?A. Todays youths. B. The people at his age.C. His worry about these young people. D. The fact that he is angry with young people today.CSimone was born in Ohio, but grew up in Texas.

You can find them running through grassland, with dirt on their faces and small bags on their backs. You can also find them playing in small rivers or climbing up trees.

Imagination can run wild through the trees.For these children, the world is full of life: rabbits and monkeys, wild flowers and green plants. What better way could there be to learn about animals, plants and the changing of the seasons? What better way to teach children to learn about the world and protect the environment?Most often, such nursery schools are green. They buy environmentally-friendly products, and work with the idea of environmental sustainability (可持续性) such as energy saving. In giving children a chance to develop a meaningful, friendly and responsible (负责的) relationship with the natural world, it must be a regular daily practice for them to touch the earth, to hear birdsong, to collect fruits and get to know animals and plants.
