As is known to all, “No farmers, no food.” Well, we now have a new day of celebration, the Chinese Farmers’ Harvest (收获) Festival. It’s the first in China created especially for farmers.
“The Chinese Farmers’ Harvest Festival falls on the Autumnal Equinox (秋分) each year, starting in 2018,” said Han Changfu, the Minister of Agriculture. The Autumnal Equinox is one of the 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese calendar. In 2018, the Autumnal Equinox fell on September 23, one day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. It gives people in the city a great chance to travel to the countryside, enjoy the beautiful scenery and celebrate the harvest with farmers. Although climates and crops are different in many parts of China, the harvest time is usually in autumn. This is why the government decided to celebrate this festival on the Autumnal Equinox.
As a major agricultural country, China has the largest number of farmers in the world. And it can produce a large number of agricultural products every year. “I’m sure the festival will become one of the most popular and most important ones around the world,” Han said.
Shen Jianhua, a university professor, says farmers should have a special festival since they have made great contributions to our country. Setting up the festival can improve the position (地位) of farmers, increase their self esteem (自尊) and create an environment where they are respected and valued.
31.Which day is the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2018
A.September 24th. B.September 23rd. C.The same day as the Autumnal Equinox.
32.The underlined word “It” refers to “________”.
A.the country China
B.the Mid Autumn Festival
C.the Chinese Farmers’ Harvest Festival
33.The festival is held on the Autumnal Equinox because ________ at that time.
A.it’s neither hot nor cold B.most crops are harvested C.farmers want to have a rest
34.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A.To respect and value farmers.
B.To give farmers more money to make them rich.
C.To improve the position of farmers and increase farmers’ self esteem.

Hello, Oscar!
Glad to hear you will come to China for a vacation during our National Day holidays. I’d like to introduce the festival to you.
National Day is on October 1st every year. It is my favorite festival because it is the birthday of our great motherland. The first National Day was celebrated in 1950 to mark the beginning of PRC and it has had a 73-year history so far. During the holiday people all over China celebrate it. The streets are hung up the red flags and beautiful lanterns. We can also watch fantastic military parade. Also, we have a seven-day holiday during the festival. Many people went on a trip with their family and friends. We are all happy and proud because of our great country. We love her and we are proud that we are Chinese. Welcome to China. I believe you will fall in love with her, too.
Best wishes. Hope you enjoy your stay in China.
