The oldest festivals would celebrate the end of the cold weather, planting in spring and harvest (丰收)in autumn. Other celebrations were held when they had food. They thought these festivals would bring a year of plenty.Festivals of the deadSome festivals are held to honor or satisfy and please the dead. In Japan the festival is called Obon. They have lamps on and play music because they think this will help the dead back to Earth. In Mexcio they have the day of the dead in early November. On this important day, people might eat food in different shapes and offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead.Festivals can be held as an honour to famous people. One of these is the Dragon Boat Festival in China, which honours the famous poet, Qu Yuan. Another is Columbus Day in the USA, in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America. Harvest festivalsHarvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter. In European countries people usually decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to have meals. In China and Japan there are mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and give gifts of mooncakes.Spring festivalsThe most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. In some Western countries, Easter is an important festival in February which celebrates the return of Jesus and celebrates the coming of spring.

In Chinese, we have the expressions of Boiling a dead pig, and A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig. And in English, there are expressions such as eating like a pig and sweating like a pig. None of them are exactly complimentary.But the truth is that pigs do have some fine qualities（品质）. And theres probably no better time to clear their names than now, for it is the Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival, which falls on Feb. 5 this year.It is true that science long ago proved that pigs arent stupid at all. According to a paper published in 2017 in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology, pigs are mentally and socially similar to dogs and chimpanzees（黑猩猩）. They like to play. They have good long-lastingmemories. And they know the differences between those who treat them well and those who dont.There are lovable pig characters in cartoons too. Peppa Pig, for example, a UK animated television series that began in 2004, has now become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries. The four members in the cartoons pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship, and the value of family. And in China, the adventures of McDull, a piglet who works hard towards his dreams even though he keeps failing, have been made into films since 2001.People are putting too much emphasis on efficiency and immediate results, but McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of repeated failures, said McDulls creator Brian Tse when she was promoting the 2009 film McDull, Kung Fu Ding Ding Dong in Beijing. He has a heart of gold.Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind when we celebrate this Chinese New Yeartheir intelligence, cuteness, patience and innocence（纯真）.（1） How many idioms and phrases are mentioned in the whole passage? A . One.B . Two.C . Three.D . Four.（2） Which one is NOT right about pigs? A . Scientist long ago proved that pigs are clever.B . We can say that pigs are patient.C .
