harvest time. In West Africa, people celebrate the New Yam Festival, called Iriji. Yams, a kind of sweet potato, are an important food in countries such as Nigeria. In Nigeria the Ibo people have a yam harvest festival each August. The night before the festival, they dispose of the last years yams. A village elder or chief eats the first new yam. Then he offers the harvest to the gods and to the ancestors of the people. Finally, he divides the yams among the people. On the festival day, people take part in traditional dances all day and all night.The people of South India celebrate a festival called Pongal, which lasts four days. In this region, heavy rainstorms called monsoons come in October and November. These rains water the crops. Farmers harvest the crops in January. On the first day of Pongal, people give thanks for the rains to Indra, ruler of the clouds. On the second day, they say prayers to Surya, the sun god. On the third day, the festival of cattle, or cows, takes place. People thank the cows for the work they do to pull plows and give milk. The final day of Pongal is devoted to outdoor activities and excursions. The people also set out rice balls for birds to eat. They believe that this brings good luck and happiness.Other places also have elaborate harvest rituals. For example, in Brazil people celebrate Saint Johns Day. It is a midwinter festival, but it takes place on June 24 and 25. During Saint Johns Day, people light bonfires to wake up Saint John in heaven so that he can hear their prayers. The festival also involves special foods. People cook desserts made from corn. One such dish, pamonha, is sweet corn that is mashed and wrapped in cooked corn husks, or leaves. Another dish, canjica, is a corn pudding.As long as they farm the land, people in these and other places will probably continue to celebrate the harvest.1Why do people honor cattle during Pongal?AThey will be killed for meat.BThey are considered as gods.CThey help people with farm work.DThey are good sacrifices to the ancestors.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“the festival of cattle, or cows, takes place. People thank the cows for the work they do to pull plows and give milk”可知，在慶祝豐收的節(jié)日里，要感謝牛付出的勞動(dòng)。2What do the three festivals have in common?AThey are intended to value animals.BThey involve expressions of thanks to gods.CThey are often celebrated after the monsoons.DThey include outdoor activities and excursions.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Then he offers the harvest to the gods”，第二段中的“give thanks for the rains to Indra, ruler of the clouds. On the second day, they say prayers to Surya, the sun god”以及第三段中的“people light bonfires to wake up Saint John in heaven so that he can hear their prayers”可知，它們都有一個(gè)儀式來對(duì)神表達(dá)感謝。3What can we conclude from the text?APeople in South India believe in one god.BHarvest festivals also celebrate the unity of families.CSaint Johns Day is celebrated only when the harvest is good.DThe Ibo people believe that their ancestors help the crops grow.解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“In Nigeria the Ibo people have a yam harvest festival each August . Then he offers the harvest to the gods and to the ancestors of the people”可知，伊博人在豐收節(jié)日里敬奉祖先，是因?yàn)樗麄兿嘈抛嫦缺Ｓ铀麄兊那f稼豐收。BSeveral different stories are told about the origin of Saint Valentines Day. One legend dates as far back as the days of the Roman Empire. According to the story, Claudius, the Emperor of Rome, wanted to increase the size of his army. He knew that it would be easier to get young men who were not married to join. Therefore he made a rule that no young man could marry until he had served a certain number of years in the army.A priest (牧師) named Valentine broke the rule and secretly married a great many young people. Finally, Claudius found out Valentine and put the priest in prison, where he remained until his death on February 14.After his death, Valentine was made a saint (圣人), and the day of his death was named Saint Valentines Day. It became the custom for lovers to send each other message on this day. Now Saint Valentines Day is a time for people to send one another greetings of many kinds.February 14, Valentines Day, is sweethearts day, on which people in love with each other express their tender (溫柔的) emotions. People sometimes put their love message in a heartshaped box of chocolates, or a bunch of flowers tied with red ribbons (帶子). Words of letters may be written on the flower covered card, or something else. Whatever the form may be, the message is almost the same：“Will you be my Valentine？”4According to the rule, _.Ano
