Do you love seeing beautiful lanterns (灯笼) outside? The best time to do this is during the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar (阴历) month. This year it is on March 2, marking the end of Spring Festival celebrations.

Lanterns are a big part of the festival. One story says that the bright lanterns show respect to gods. Another says that people light lanterns to celebrate the disappearance of darkness of winter.

Watching lanterns is a great event. You see lanterns in any sizes and shapes you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers. To make this activity more fun, people put riddles (谜语) on the lanterns. In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns. A sky lantern is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom where there is a small fire source. When the bright lights fly high in the sky, people make wishes.

In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic(浪漫). At that time, young girls were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals. Therefore, looking at lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: “Restlessly, I searched for her in thousands, hundreds of ways. Suddenly I turned, and there she was in the receding light.”

1.When is the Lantern Festival this year?

A. On January 15th.　　 B. On March 2nd.　　 C. On January 2nd.　　 D. On March 15th.

2.The second paragraph mainly talks about ______ of Lantern Festival.

A. the history　　 B. the culture　　 C. the story　　 D. the date

3.Which of the following about Kongming lanterns is TRUE?

A. They are lanterns with riddles on them.　　 B. They are lanterns in shape of Kongming.

C. People make wishes when flying them.　　 D. They are hot air balloons made of fire.

4.Why was the Lantern Festival romantic in old times?

A. Because it gave young people to meet each other.

B. Because it offered lanterns in different colors.

C. Because the streets were busy and beautiful.

D. Because people could enjoyed beautiful lanterns.
