Some Unusual Celebrations
Some holidays are well - known all around the world. Among them are New Years Eve Celebrations. Also days are common in honor of love and friendship, like Valentine’s Day. Each country has its own special holidays too, to mark important events in its history.
Schools, banks, and government offices all close on days like these.______【46】A few of them are really very strange.
Of course, they are not strange to the people who celebrate them. Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions. Consider April Fool’s Day, for example. No one knows when or why it began. Today it is celebrated in many countries—France, England, and Australia, etc. On this day, people play practical jokes.______【47】The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes. The people they fool often get angry. Does celebrating this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange, too. On this day, it is traditional for boys to pour water over the heads of girls. Here is the strangest part: they do it to girls they like.
Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city or town. A holiday called La Toma-tina is celebrated in Bunol, Spain. Every year, in late August, big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town.______【48】For two hours, people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other. Everyone ends up red from head to toe.
August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair, an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition.
People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and. catch a wild goat. ______【49】
There are also some celebrations that are really strange. In the United States, sometimes one person gets an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it. Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28. It may seem strange, but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9.______【50】
Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday? If you do, then you will want to mark March 26 on your calendar. That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.
A. They bring him back to town, put a crown on his head, and make him king for three days.
B. Some of the days people celebrate, however, are less serious.
C. That is supposed to be Toothache Day.
D. Then begins the world’s biggest food fight.
E. Some people have fun imagining new holidays.
F. Jokes are supposed to be funny, but these jokes do not make everyone laugh.
