The Songkran festival is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Year’s Day.
It is celebrated from 13 to 15 April. It coincides with the New Year of many calendars of
South and Southeast Asia countries. It is believed to have been adapted from the
Sankranti Hindu Festival. It is now observed nationwide even in the far south.
However, the most famous Songkran celebration are still in the northern city of
Chiang Mai, where it lasts for six days and even longer. It has also become a party for
foreigners and an additional reason for tourist to visit Thailand. The most obvious
celebration of Songkran is the throwing of water to other people. Thais roam the streets
with containersof water or water guns. In addition, many Thais will have small bowls of
cheap beige coloured talc and mixed with water which is then smeared on the faces and
bodies of random passersby as a blessing for the New Year. City officials close off many
sections of the street for the festival.
Besides the throwing water, people celebrate Songkran by going to a wat (Buddhist
monastery) to pray and give food to monks. They also cleanse Buddha Images in the
household shrines as well as Buddha images at monasteries by gently pouring water
mixed with a Thai fragrance over them. It is believed that doing this will bring good luck
and prosperity in the New Year. In many cities, such as Chiang Mai, the Buddha images
from all of the city’s important monasteries are paraded through the streets so that people
can toss water at them, ritually ‘bathing’ the images as they pass by.
17. Why do they pour fragrant water over the Buddha images?
A. Because they are in the party mood.
B. Because the officials close the street.
C. Because it will bring them good luck.
D. Because the images need some cleansing.
Many people have heard about Moai, the beautiful stone statues that you can see looking
out at the ocean on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). But how much do we know people built and
moved these statues?
There are 887 statues in total, and we know that the first ones were made about 1.000
years ago. The people who made then only used hand tools-the evidence of this is the many old
tools which archaeologist have found all over the island. Archaeologist believe that it must
have taken about a year to make each statue, which five or six men working on it. But it is
much much more difficult to explain how these people moved these heavy stones across the
island into their final places. Most people believe that people couldn’t have carried them by
hand. The largest stones are nearly ten maters long and weigh about 18.000 kilograms!
Professor Carl Jeffrey says, “The people must have had some ways of moving these stones.
Some archaeologists think they might pull the stones across the island. But the stones were so
heavy; it must have taken between 180 and 250 men pull each one.
But the mystery doesn’t end there. The statues all sit on other stones called Abu. So the
people must have put these large stones onto the Abu. Archeologists can’t give a clear
explanation of how it happened.

A. Most people

Last weekend, my family and I went camping. We reached the camping site after we
walked for about one and half hour from the parking area. We built a camp next to a small
river. It was getting darker and colder, so we set a bon fire.
The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while the girls were
preparing meals. In the afternoon, we went to river and caught some fish for supper. At night,
we had some fun activities. We sang, danced, read poetry, played magic trick, and some of us
performed standing comedy. On Monday, we packed our bags and got ready to go home.

The aurora often appears as curtains of light, but they can also be arcs or spirals,
often following lines of force in Earth’s magnetic field. Most are green in color but
sometimes you’ll see a hint of pink, and strong displays might also have red, violet and
white colors. The light typically are seen in the far north-the nations bordering the Artic
Ocean- Canada and Alaska, Scandinavian countries, Iceland, Greenland and Russia. But
strong displays of the lights can extend down into more southerly latitudes in the United
States. And of course, the lights have a counterpart at Earth’s south polar regions.
The colors in the aurora were also a source of mystery throughout human history.
But science says that different gases in Earth’s atmosphere give off different colors
when they are excited. Oxygen gives off the green color of the aurora, for example,
Nitrogen causes blue or red colors.
