You’ll find that some festivals are celebrated by an entire country, while others may be known only to a single city or region, but either way festivals play an important role in a certain culture. Just enjoy them! ★Tomatina — Bunol, Spain Every last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is filled with tons of tomatoes in the world’s biggest food flight. Many people wear goggles (护目镜) during this hour of great fun, as the town becomes a red river. ★ Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South Korea For two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way to help sell the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party with music and fireworks. The mud is usually only available in cosmetic products (化妆品), but here you can cake yourself in grey as you want. ★ Holi — India Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of brightly colored powder (粉末). The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common among Hindu people around the world. ★ International Pillow Fight Day — Worldwide Tens of thousands of people took part in the 4th annual International Pillow Fight Day on April 2, 2013.From London to Vancouver to many other cities, the festival is held in more than 100 countries. So just bring a soft pillow in early April, and watch feathers fly. 21.According to the author, _______________.

B When I came to Cincinnati (a city in the US) as an au pair (家庭打工留学生), a lot of things there were different from what I knew. My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a “castle”. In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom. Soon I found out that the “castle” was actually rather small in our neighborhood. 2
Everybody there was very friendly and polite. They greeted you when they were walking by at least 3 feet away from you. They must not have seen a German au pair before, for most people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany. I enjoyed answering their various strange questions. I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them. Of course, there were a number of new things, and it took me the whole year to find them all out. I never got homesick. Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative (负面的) experiences and felt loved and welcomed there. However, I had undergone some painful experiences back in Germany. I was frustrated by the way people would run me over and not even say “Sorry.” Taking up my studies at the TU-Dresden, I felt lonely. Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn (离群的) and I missed everything I had in Cincinnati. Germany was so “cold”. I found it so much harder to make new friends. After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends. I also flew back to Cincinnati several times for long periods. I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it. Now I am over this German culture shock. It almost took me an entire year. I am still going back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year. 24.When the author lived in Cincinnati, _______________. A.some people were not very kind to her B.many people were curious about her motherland C.she lived in a real castle D.she lived in the biggest house in the neighborhood 25.In the opinion of the author, life in Cincinnati was ________. A.hard B.painful C.wonderful D. strange 26.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the author? A.She lived with her mother in a big house in Germany. B.She did miss her friends in Cincinnati when she was at the TU-Dresden. C.She never went back to Cincinnati after she came back to Germany. D.She seldom hung out with her American friends as she was too busy. 27.What is the best title for this passage? A.University life in Germany B.Advantages of living in USA C.My culture shock experience D. How to be an au pair in USA
