Tens of thousands of people from around the world threw tons of ripe tomatoes at each other on Wednesday in an annual food fight that leaves the eastern Spanish town of Bunol covered in red pulp (浆状物)．More than 40,000 people，including many visitors from Australia，Britain and the United States，merrily took part this year in the food fight known as the “La Tomatina”，now in its 64th year，a spokeswoman for Bunol’s town hall said.
A rocket fired from the town hall was the signal for the start of the event for which local authorities provided 120 tonnes of tomatoes and participants were covered in pulp and standing ankle-deep in red pulp.Many men were shirtless while others wore old clothes，hard hats，goggles or protective plastic sheets.Shopkeepers put up huge plastic covers on their store fronts or boarded them up to protect their properties from the sea of red mush.
After a battle，municipal workers and local residents used huge pipes to clear the walls and streets of the tomato pulp in just half an hour while the participants headed to a nearby river where temporary (暂时的) showers were set up.
The event cost the town of some 10,000 residents 28,000 euros (40,000 dollars) to stage，Spanish media reported.
The “La Tomatina” is observed each year in Bunol，located in a fertile (肥沃的) region some 40 kilometres north of the coastal city of Valencia，Spain’s third-largest city，on the last Wednesday in August.
The origins of the event are unclear although it is thought to have its roots in a food fight between childhood friends in the mid-1940s in the city.
It has grown in size as international press coverage brought more and more people to the festival.

Compared with some other parts of the world，Canada is not a country with a lot of particularly flashy traditions—which isn’t to say none exist.In general，it’s the aging process，and the various “key dates” that occur as a Canadian moves from babyhood to adulthood that tend to be the most celebrated and ritualized(仪式化了的) moments in mainstream Canadian culture.
Canadian couples will generally announce their pregnancy with great pride to friends and family as soon as they’re aware，and it’s common for girlfriends of the expecting mother to organize a baby shower—a small，light-hearted house party—to honour the new mom sometime before she gives birth.Shortly after the child is born，it’s similarly customary for friends of the parents to visit and give at least one baby gift，usually a toy or clothes，to express congratulations.
If there’s one thing Canadians love celebrating，it’s the anniversary(周年纪念日) of their own birth.In recent years，birthdays have risen to become one of the most tradition-rich spectacles of Canadian culture.During childhood，most parents will arrange birthday parties for their children on the special day (or the closest available weekend)，a fun excuse for the birthday boy or girl to gather up all their schoolyard friends and spend the afternoon hanging out.In their teenage years and adulthood，they begin to take greater control over their own birthday plans.
Completing a period of school in Canada is almost always celebrated with a fancy graduation ceremony.In their final year of high school (and sometimes middle school as well)，students will celebrate the completion of their studies with some sort of party organized by the school，usually known as “grad night”．These usually take the form of a fancy dress party held at a local hotel，complete with a dinner，dancing and lots of awkwardly-posed photographs.
8．Which is a birth tradition in Canada
A．Holding a baby shower by the elders.
B．Visiting the newly-born with a present.
C．Keeping the pregnancy a secret to others.
D．Gathering friends and relatives for a party.
9．What do we know about birthday celebrations in Canada
A．Adults don’t celebrate their own birthdays.
B．The parties are always planned by parents.
C．They are popular among Canadian families.
D．They are only held on that very day of birth.
10．What preparation might students need to do for their graduation ceremony
A．They need to organize a party.
B．They need to complete a study.
C．They need to learn photography.
D．They need to wear special clothes.
11．How does the author organize the description of Canadian traditions
A．From general features to specific.
B．According to regional differences.
C．By comparing traditions worldwide.
D．In the order of a child’s growth process.
Ⅱ.七选五
Think of any objects in your house，meals you eat，or gestures you use，and you’ll find evidence of culture. 1 You should learn more about it and know how you can keep it strong.Here are some tips.
※Share your culture’s art and techniques(技能)．
Each culture has its own clothing，music，visual arts，and many more significant features.Other members of your culture will be overjoyed to share or talk about their interests，what they do for fun，and fine works of art they appreciate.This may include traditional artifacts you can find in a museum，but material culture goes far beyond that. 2
※Cook family recipes(食谱)．
It’s never too late to learn some recipes from your grandmother’s cookbook. 3 During the process，you might remember meals from your childhood or festivals.Just reading a recipe can teach you how much ingredients and kitchen tools have changed.
※ 4
Your city or village may have some cultural events，which you should actively participate in.If you don’t know about any in your area，some tribes or ethnic groups in your country almost certainly celebrate major cultural festivals.Travel to these places to get a broader view about your culture.
※Speak your local dialect.
If you know someone who shares your culture but speaks a native language better than you，ask him or her to teach you.Language is an important part of a culture. 5 Plus，if the language is rare in your area，nobody will be able to understand what you’re talking about.
A．Culture has shaped who you are.
B．Attend major events and festivals.
C．Travel abroad to celebrate cultural festivals.
D．Smell and taste have a powerful connection to memory.
E．Even a kitchen spoon or a public building is a cultural artwork.
F．They’ll disappear with time if you don’t make efforts to preserve them.
G．Many experts argue that language shapes our whole view about the world.
