What Is Harvest Harvest is the time of year when crops planted in spring are ready to be collected. Long ago, a good harvest meant there would be enough food for the long winter months. The whole community would work together to harvest the crops and celebrate. With no supermarkets, the harvest was the only source (来源) of food so a good harvest was for everyone to celebrate.
When Is Harvest
Harvest season in the UK begins at the end of August or the start of September. In years gone by, there was an ancient festival called Lammas to celebrate the beginning of harvest. But it has always been the end that sees the most exciting moment of the harvest.
In the past, the harvest would not end until the last sheaf (捆) of the crop arrived at the village and there was often a great parade (游行) to welcome it.
In more modern times, the celebrations of the harvesting fall on the Harvest Festival, which is on the Sunday closest to the Harvest Moon. They include Saint Michael’s Mass on 29th September.
In the past, the arrival of the last crop meant the beginning of the Harvest Supper. A big meal of meats, vegetables, fruits and puddings would be shared by the community. Everyone, old or young, rich or poor, joined in with singing, dancing and games.
In more recent years, the Harvest Festival has been mainly celebrated by schools and other places. In some schools, children are often asked to bring food to be shared out to those who need it in the local community. Decorations of fruits and grains can be found in the Town Hall and there are songs, reading that give thanks for the harvest.
23．When does the harvest season in the UK usually begin
A．At the start of August. B．At the end of August.
C．In the middle of September. D．At the end of September.
24．Why was a good harvest so important long ago
A．Because it could let people change for different things.
B．Because it brought people good luck for the whole year.
C．Because it could let more people live in the community.
D．Because it was the only way to keep enough food for winter.
25．How do children celebrate the Harvest Festival in schools
A．Singing, dancing, and games. B．Sharing a meal with classmates.

Dear David,
How are you these days Today I’m going to tell you something between me and my good friend. Last year, my good friend Carlos invited me to his birthday party. At his party I saw my first pinata (彩盒). It looked like an animal and was full of candies. People put it on the ceiling (天花板). Carlos hit (打) the pinata until it broke. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies. Everyone shared. It was fun!
Carlos’s birthday party also got me thinking about how kids in other places celebrate birthdays. Did you know that in Vietnam kids do not celebrate on birthdays Instead (相反地), on New Year’s Day, all the kids celebrate their birthdays. Parents give kids red envelopes (信封) with lucky money in them.
In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday. However, on their 21st birthday, their parents make a key. It can be made of paper or wood. Parents give their child this key. It is a sign from the parents that the child can now “unlock the door to their future life”.
In Japan, children get a new set of clothes on their birthdays. While in Italy, adults pull children’s ears—one pull for each year.
My friend Carlos also helps me to know more in many other ways. Do you have such an experience with your friends
Linda

58．What’s the best title of this passage

New Year’s Eve is often celebrated to welcome a happy and healthy year. And different countries have different ways to celebrate it. Here is how some countries celebrate New Year’s Eve.
Australia Fireworks are necessary in Australia on this day. People celebrate the New Year with midnight fireworks. On this day, people prepare picnic baskets and arrive early to get the best places to see the show.
Japan Just before midnight on New Year’s Eve, Japanese eat noodles. The long noodle means the crossing from one year to the next. It also shows that one lets the past year’s regrets go.
Spain In Spain, with 12 seconds left until the New Year, people eat 12 grapes. They believe that this will bring good luck to them in the coming year. Eating them up means the coming of 12 months of good luck.
Colombia On the last night of a year, Colombians place three potatoes—one peeled, one unpeeled, and one half-peeled potato—under their beds. At midnight, they take out the first potato they touch. Peeled one means you’re probably going to end up having some money problems, unpeeled one shows you may be able to get rich in the new year, and the half-peeled…, well, somewhere between these two.
