Festivals in Wales this spring

There’s lots to see, do and experience in Wales this spring. And now it’s time to embrace all

things new and get ready to be entertained in the spring, come rain or shine.

Wrexham, 10-12 May

The annual festival showcases over 200 acts consisting of music, comedy, film and more. Since

its opening event in 2011, Focus Wales has done a lot for emerging（新兴的）musicians across

the country, and 2018 sees Welsh Music Prize winner The Gentle Good and Y Selar Best Band

winners. Candelas, take the stage.

Aberystwyth, 19-29 May

Whether you prefer Hill Climbs or Sportives, the AberCycle Festival allows you to take all of it

in from the saddle（鞍）of a bike, enjoying the world’s most beautiful scenery. However, all

work and no play makes us all dull boys and girls, so while you’re in town be sure to pop in to

one or two of the plenty of pubs in Aber（as the locals call it）for a nice, cold pint of Brains

beer. You’ll need it after all that cycling!

Hay on Wye, 25-28 May

The world’s biggest music and philosophy festival returns in 2018 with its unique mix of tunes,

talks and trapeze（吊杠）（yes, there are even circus performers!） Based in the magical

surroundings of Hay on Wye, this four day festival takes place at the end of May and is perfect

for

everyone who likes a side of intellectualism（理智主义）with their traditional festival

experience.

Lawrenny, 25-28 May

In late May in the heart of the Pembrokeshire National Park, the Big Retreat Wales takes place.

Essentially the festival is about wellness, but it’s also so much more than that. Join in this May

for four days of “fed good”, leaving your usual routine behind and diving into a delightful mix

of workshops, activities, music and sustainable food produce.

And now it’s time to embrace all things new and get ready to be entertained in the spring, come

rain or shine.”可知，威尔士节日不论是雨天还是晴天，都会举行。其中的shine为意为“好天气”与sunny是同义词，rainy是rain的形容词。分析选项可知C项最为符合。故选C项。

Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a

new study says. Beehives (蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from

damaging farmer’s crops.

In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees

living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants

from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on

their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.

Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she

threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car

until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in

Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each

family.

From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same

time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area

within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the

angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to
