Amazing Festivals
Yi Peng Lantern Festival, Thailand

This wonderful unique Festival is celebrated in Chiang Mai in November every year. It is held on the full
moon of the twelfth lunar month every year. Locals believe that this is the time when the moon is at its brightest
and the rivers are filled to their fullest, so this is the best time to light a lantern or set a floating "kratong" off on the
Ping River and make a wish.
Holi Festival, India
Holi is a Hindu festival, which marks the beginning of spring. The holiday symbolizes the victory of good
over evil, end of winter and it is celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest.
Day of the Dead, Mexico
The origins of the Day of the Dead go back in time some 3000 years. Upon dying, a person was believed to
travel to the Land of the Dead. The belief is that spirits return to the world of the living, for one day. The spirits are
greeted with offerings of their favorite food and drinks.
Carnival of Venice, Italy
The origins of the Venice Carnival are found in two different ancient traditions: the Latin Saturnalia and the
Greek Dionysian cults — major religious festival s involving the use of masks and symbolic representations. They
are made of leather, porcelain or using the original glass technique. The Carnival ends with an important Christian
event, the start of Lent, 40 days before Easter.

For many runners, a marathon can often be a challenge — but sometimes what gets a runner through the tough
6.2 miles is looking out into the crowd and seeing his or her loved one holding up a sign and shouting words of
2
encouragement. For one mom, though, her loved one was a bit more hands- on.
While running the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon in Salt Lake City, Courtney Rich, a self-taught baker
and mother of two, was beginning to run out of energy just yards from the end when she was suddenly joined by
her 10-year- old daughter, Avery.
The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother's side
to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich's face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross
the finish line.
Rich later said in the video's caption that being joined by her daughter to finish the race was "a moment I hope
neither of us ever forget". Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of
the race. "She knew I had struggled the last few miles," Rich said. "She saw tears in my eyes when I called on mile
2
4."

In the video, Rich's facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from
the crowd to join her. Then, Rich and her daughter ran hand- in- hand to the finish line. "Nothing could have
prepared me for the moment my 10-year- old daughter would jump out of the crowd and run with me to the finish
line," she said. When the race was done, the two hugged each other at the finish line. The video ends with a final
caption, "And then she just held me. She held me."
In the past, the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon has had other memorable moments of mothers caring for
their children, but perhaps not as hands- on as this one.

Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many
wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called "zoo pharmacognosy" or, more
commonly, animal self- medication.
Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin （树脂） as medicine. In the
Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily
studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought
that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that
the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.
Researchers decided to place camera- traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by
tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten
species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self- medication had been
observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other's fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to
specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting
back parasites（寄生虫）.
While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirming that this is indeed

self- medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents
of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude
by improving their health.
This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could
potentially affect the survival of some animals.

3. Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree?
A. They would like to digest what they eat.
B. They are trying to cure diseases.
C. They are attracting companions' attention.
D. They feel like occupying the land.
4
4. What do researchers find through camera- traps?
A. Animals can help each other clean the fur.
B. Many animals copy monkeys' behaviors.
C. Resin can be used as medicine for some animals
D. The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys.
4
5. What does the underlined word "magnitude" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Characteristics. B. Populations. C. Flexibilities.
6. What is the possible significance of the discovery?
D. Similarities.
4
A. Increasing the production of resin.
B. Promoting evolution of creatures.
D. Contributing to forest conservation.
C. Motivating the study of monkeys' diet.
D
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm （雹暴） in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs.
As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail
Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain
before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east- central Alberta — downwind of the hail
project flights — worry that precious moisture（ 水 分 ） is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud
seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years.
"Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area
from hail," Mr Stienwand says, "but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan."
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification
Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. "We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot
be causing drought," Dr Krauss says. "In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating
wetter ground."
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the
University of Oklahoma. "In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes（龙卷风） form from a seeded storm
cell in Kansas," Dr Doswell says. "Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one
really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on."

Given the degree of doubt, Mr Stienwand suggests, "it would be wise to stop cloud seeding." In practice,
doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has
succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud- seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed
in relative legal safety.

7. What does the project aim to do?
A. Conser
