Fire has been known for its powerful energy for centuries and is used in both ancient and modern ceremonies.Here are some fantastic fire festivals around the world.
Fire and Snow Festival
Originally, this festival had its roots in a religious ceremony, when in Japan farming communities would try to rid the bad spirits which troubled them.Although some people still believe in this purpose, the festival is now more of a community event.A sweet wine made from rice is served up there.At the peak of the festival, participants light a basketball-sized rice straw ball that's attached to a rope and spin it above their heads.
Deulbli Festival
Another fire celebration in February is the Deulbli Festival in South Korea.The festival goes back centuries to when local families would keep cows.To maintain the grass, farmers would set fire to the mountains to destroy old grass and kill harmful insects.Now, a hilltop is set bright to pray for health and a good harvest in the coming year.
Quema del Diablo
In Central America, Quema del Diablo takes place in Guatemala, when the bad spirits are driven from Guatemalans' homes and chased into the streets.By holding firework displays, bonfires, and burning devil statues, locals believe they are ridding themselves of bad spirits.
Guy Fawkes Night
Perhaps the most famous fire ceremony of all happens in England.Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night, is held on November 5 and goes back all the way to 1605.The most famous and biggest-celebration is in Lewes in Sussex, also known as the bonfire capital of the world.Whole streets are shut down and tens of thousands of people take to the streets to watch the parades.

In the past decade or so, you may have heard the term“growth mindset”thrown around a lot.Many influencers and self-improvement coaches talk about how it is something we should all be fighting for with great efforts. 1.C Here are a few ways you can start training your brain.
Start worrying if you're working hard enough.
As Dr Dwek explains：“genius is not enough; we need to get the job done.”At the end of the day, does it really matter how intelligent you are if you get the job done Of course not. 2.F Stop judging your worth based on how smart you see yourself to be, and start focusing on trying your best, learning along the way, building a growth mindset, and enjoying the process.
3.A
People with fixed mindsets often see failures as reflections of their own intelligence or skill, so they end up giving up when confronted with disappointment.But instead of seeing failure as a negative thing, reframe it as an opportunity to learn something.If this set of actions resulted in failure, how could you change things next time to result in success This is a huge part of developing a growth mindset.
Praise effort rather than outcomes.
In Dr Dwek's book, she writes：“after seven experiments with hundreds of children, we had some of the clearest findings I've ever seen： 4.D Children love praise, especially to be praised for their intelligence and talent.It really does give them a boost, a special glow, but only for the moment.The minute they encounter difficulties, their confidence goes out the window, and their motivation hits the bottom.If success means they're smart, then failure means they're dumb. 5.B ”
In whatever small ways you can, begin to explore what it feels like to have a growth mindset.With a growth mindset, anything is possible.You may just be surprised at all the amazing things you accomplish.
A．Reframe failures as learning opportunities.
B．That's the fixed mindset.
C．How can we develop a growth mindset in ourselves
D．Praising children's intelligence harms their motivation, and it harms their performance.
E．Even if you congratulate yourself, you may end up hurting long term.
F．The most important thing is whether you put in your best effort.
G．Take on new challenges.

2. 根据本段标题“Start worrying if you're working hard enough.(开始担心你的工作是否足够努力。)”以及上文“At the end of the day, does it really matter ...Of course not.”可知，聪明并不是最重要的。此处应强调努力的重要性，F项(最重要的是你是否尽了最大努力。)承接上文。故选F。
