SomeUnusual Celebrations
Some holidays are wll-known all around the world. Among them are New Year’s Eve celebrations. Also common are days in honor of love and Mendship,like Valentine’s Day. Each country has its own specia! holidays,too, often to mark important events in its history. Schools,banks, and government offices all close on days like these. _____ (46) A few of them are really very strange.
Of course, they are not strange to the people who celebrate them. Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions. Consider April Fool’s Day, for example,no one knows when or why it began. Today it is cetebrated in many countries — France,England,and Australia,among others. On this day, people play practical jokes. _______ (47) The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes. The peop丨e they fool often get angry. Does celebrating this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange, too. On this day, it is traditional for boys to pour water over the heads of girls. Here is the strangest part: They do it to girls they like. Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city or town. A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated in Buhol,Spain. Every year,in late August, big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town. ______ (48) For two hours,people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other. Everyone ends up red from head to toe.
August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair,an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition. People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat. (49)
There are also some celebrations that are really strange. In the United States, sometimes one person gets an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it. Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28. It may seem strange, but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9. _______ (50)
Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday? If you do, then you will want to mark March 26 on your calendar. That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.
