May Basket Day was a widespread custom of spring in the United States. It went something like this. As April rolled to an end, people would begin gathering flowers and candies and other goodies to put in May baskets to hang on the doors of friends, neighbours and loved ones on May 1. The practice has a long history, originating from the ancient European festival of spring, Beltane (an ancient Celtic festival), according to historian Marci Matson.
Through the 19th and 20th centuries, May Basket Day celebrations took place all across the nation. A newspaper reporter in 1871 wrote: “Made of paper generally, a May basket contains flowers and small presents, together with your respects, best wishes—love, perhaps. It is hung after dark at the door of anybody the hanger thinks of. Once done, the said hanger knocks and takes flight. If the hanger hangs a May basket on someone’s door and the receiver catches him or her, it’s a great shame.”
Writer Louisa May Alcott had written about the curious tradition in New England in her 1880 children’s book Jack and Jill. From Alcott’s story: “Such a twanging (砰然一声) of doorbells; such a hurry to move with quick steps in the dark; such funny crashes as boys came racing round corners, or girls ran into one another’s arms as they climbed up and down steps secretly; such laughing, whistling, flying about of flowers and the friendly feeling.”
Sadly, May Basket Day is disappearing. Though it is still practised in some communities, fewer May baskets are seen hanging from doorknobs (门把手) of US families. Maybe it is because of a national fall from innocence (天真). Or an increased desire for get-off-my-lawn privacy.
But we’re pleased to see more people choosing to decorate their front doors with flowers and baskets. And that has excited some interest again in May Day baskets. Perhaps the practice may help bring this old tradition back to life. Why not show someone you are thinking of them this May Basket Day
( )1.What can we learn about May Basket Day
A.It was celebrated in the morning.

C.It was a festival for kids.
D.It came from Europe.
( )2.What should the hanger do after hanging the basket
