(2023·河南开封五县期中)
In Oaxaca,Mexico,there is a special festival on December 23 called la Noche de Rábanos,or the Night of the Radishes(萝卜).Every year,artists from all over the country show their amazing radish sculptures.The artists work very hard,since the winner receives money and becomes champion.On the day,locals and tourists line up starting in the afternoon to see the sculptures.
More than one hundred years ago,there was a market on December 23 called la Vigila de Navidad.It was a special Christmas market with decorations.It’s said that local businessmen at this market used to carve radishes as decorations.The carved radishes became very popular,and people started to buy them and take them home.
