一、
When the leaves begin to change colors, it means one thing for many travelers: The fall festival season is here. If you're interested in visiting a fall festival in America, here are some of the country's best fall festivals for you to choose from.
Wellfleet Oysterfest
The WeMeet Oysterfest is a two-day event held in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. The meeting on Cape Cod is one that the locals look forward to all year long. Feed yourself oysters(牡蛎) and other seafood, while you watch the fastest oyster-eaters in the world compete in the famous Oyster Shuck-Off, a competition of taking the outer covering of oysters. The competition is taken very seriously.
Harvest on the Harbor
It takes place in Portland, Maine. The festival celebrates all that is best about Maine's food and wine. This celebration is held every October, and includes the Maine Lobster Chef of the Year competition and Savory Samplings at the Marketplace. The latter allows travelers to taste the best local food that Maine has to offer at Casco Bay.
Killington Hay Festival
If you're looking for a fall festival that includes hay sculptures (干草雕塑), take part in the annual Killington Hay Festival. When you begin to see the giant hay sculptures, you'll know you've arrived. Past sculptures have changed from a 20-foot-tall kangaroo to a family of penguins.

二、
Christmas is still a few weeks away. But in Holland, Germany and other parts of central Europe, man dressed in red with a big white beard will already be flying from house to house with a big sack and presents for children. "Sinterklaas komt!" as Dutch children say—Saint Nicholas is coming!
It's obvious from the name that "Santa Claus" comes from "Sinterklaas". Saint Nicholas Day is celebrated on December 6, but there are many things about the saint and his festival that are similar to Christmas. Just as Santa has reindeer, so Sinterklaas has a white horse. Dutch and German children put their shoes out in front of the chimney just like children hang up their stockings on Christmas Eve, hoping that in the morning they will be full of presents. With Sinterklaas, however, you're also expected to put a carrot in your shoe as a present to his horse.
Like Santa, Sinterklaas also judges whether children have been "naughty or nice" in the past year to help him decide whether they deserve presents. But while good children get sweets, the consequences of being bad are far worse than they are with Father Christmas. Naughty children are given a stick so their parents can beat them. If you are really, really bad, Sinterklaas will put you into a sack and take you away.
In parts of Germany and Austria, people also celebrate December 5, but it is a celebration of naughtiness rather than niceness. On "Krampus Day", bizarre, horned demons (or rather boys dressed in costumes) run around causing havoc and hitting girls with sticks. Authorities have struggled for years to ban the tradition, but have not been successful. Luckily Saint Nicholas always comes next day to put things right.
14.What is the main focus of the article
A.The history of Christmas Day.
B.The traditions of Saint Nicholas Day.
C.The differences between Christmas Day and Saint Nicholas Day.
D.The connection between Saint Nicholas Day and Krampus Day.
15.Which of the following statements about Saint Nicholas is TRUE
A.The festival falls on December 5 in most European countries.
B.On the eve of Saint Nicholas Day, people usually eat carrots.
C.In Germany, children expect to get gifts in their shoes on Saint Nicholas Day.
D.Like Santa, Sinterklaas is believed to ride his reindeer from house to house to give gifts to children.
16.What can we conclude from Paragraph 3
A.Naughty children don't get anything from Sinterklaas.
B.As well as children, Sinterklaas also brings gifts for adults.
C.Sinterklaas is more generous than Father Christmas.
D.Sinterklaas treats good children better than naughty children.
17.What is the attitude of authorities towards Krampus Day traditions, according to the article
A.They don't like some of the traditions and want to stop them.
B.They organize various activities to entertain people.
C.They respect the way people celebrate the traditions.
