India is the land of festivals. However, none are as fun as Holi, the festival of colors.

Holi is held on the day after the full moon in March every year. It celebrates the end of winter, the beginning of spring and the victory of good over evil. It's also a great chance for people to play and laugh.

What's so interesting about this day? During the festival, people can enjoy many dance performances. The best part about the festival is that people can throw colored powder, water, balloons and colored water at friends or even strangers.

At about midday, the festival comes to an end. In areas close to the ocean, most people end the fun by taking a bath in the water. What a fun and colorful festival!

Here are a few do's and don'ts on Holi:

Keep your mouth shut and protect your eyes as much as possible when somebody throws colored powder or colored water at you.

Before you go out to play with colors, grease (為……涂油) your body and hair well with cold cream and coconut oil. It will make sure that the colors don't go deep into your skin and will come off easily later.

Wear long trousers and a long-sleeved shin to protect your skin.

本文介紹了印度的胡里節(jié)。它是一個有趣和豐富多彩的節(jié)日。每年三月的滿月后的第二天舉行節(jié)日。大約在中午，節(jié)日結(jié)束了。它慶祝冬天的結(jié)束、春天的開始和正義戰(zhàn)勝邪惡的勝利。節(jié)日期間，人們可以欣賞許多舞蹈表演。這個節(jié)日最棒的部分是人們可以向朋友甚至陌生人投擲彩粉、水、氣球和彩水。并介紹了一些關(guān)于Holi的注意事項。

第2段大意：每年三月的滿月后的第二天舉行胡里節(jié)。它慶祝冬天的結(jié)束，春天的開始和正義戰(zhàn)勝邪惡的勝利。對人們來說，這也是一個很好的娛樂和歡笑的機(jī)會�？芍�本段內(nèi)容是關(guān)于什么時候舉行胡里節(jié)和胡里節(jié)慶祝什么。故答案為：It's about when Holi is (held) and what Holi celebrates.

本題是開放性題目，是觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題，只要回答合理，符合本文內(nèi)容即可。根據(jù)1段第2句“However, none are as fun as Holi, the festival of colors.”及第3段第2句“During the festival, people can enjoy many dance performances.”可知做肯定回答，原因可以是“Because I think it is a fun and colorful festival.（因為我認(rèn)為這是一個有趣和豐富多彩的節(jié)日。）/Because I can enjoy many dance performances（因為我可以欣賞很多舞蹈表演）”。根據(jù)最后三段關(guān)于Holi的一些注意事項（Keep your mouth shut and protect…Wear long trousers and a long-sleeved shin to protect your skin.），可知做否定回答，原因可以是“Because I think the colors will go deep into my skin and will not come off easily.( 因為我覺得這些顏色會深入我的皮膚，不會輕易脫落。)/Because I think the colored powder will hurt my skin/eyes(因為我認(rèn)為這種彩色粉末會傷害我的皮膚/眼睛)”。故答案為：Yes.
