My favourite festival—______________

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In mid-June. school is out and nature has burst into life.It seems like the sun never sets. In fact, in the north of Sweden it doesn’t, and in the south only for an hour or two. This calls for celebration! Friends and family gather for the most typically Swedish tradition of all: Midsummer

At Midsummer, many begin their five-week holidays and everyone is in a hurry to get things done during the short summer season. Midsummer Eve is celebrated in the countryside. As always—and on the day before, everyone leaves town, everything closes and the city streets are suddenly quiet

Sweden's Midsummer festival takes place on the longest day of the year. The holiday celebrates the summer solstice (夏至). It holds enough tradition and fun to last the rest of the year.

Swedes like the world to be well-ordered, so Midsummer Eve is always on a Friday between 19 and 25 June. People often begin the day by picking flowers and making wreaths（花環(huán)）to place on the maypole（五月柱），which is a key part in the celebrations. People in colorful clothes dance around the maypole and sing songs.

Today, locals continue the tradition of weaving crowns（花冠） from green leaves and flowers.

Girls still pick seven different kinds of flowers to place under their pillows. According to local legend, if so, they will then dream of their future husbands.

In Sweden, every year many people enjoy themselves in fairy-tale scenes: peaceful lakes，amazing forests, and grassy paths. They walk through chest-high wild flowers and get close to nature. Finally they get a chance to slow down and enjoy Scandinavia’s short summer.

Midsummer

Geese(雁), for example, teach a very good lesson about __________. In autumn, geese fly to the warm south to ________ the cold winter. They started to fly in no order. Yet _________they form a V shape, with one bird leading the whole group in front.

This continues down the line and helps the whole group fly more easily. The bird __________ has the hardest job. When it gets tired , it moves behind, and another bird moves to take its place. By sharing the role, the group can travel _________ distances. Geese flying in a V shape can fly 70 percent farther without _________ than birds flying alone.

During the long flying journey, geese _________ with one another. They honk(鳴叫) to lead the birds in front to keep up the speed. They also cheer each other up _________ working towards a common goal.

__________together! Whether it is our personal lives or our jobs, we need other people. We need the help from other people. We need the spirit of teamwork!

How to Take a Nap

Whether you think you need daytime rest or not, picking up a nap habit is a smart, healthy move. A 2010 British study found that a mid-day nap was the best way to deal with the mid-afternoon tiredness.

And, unbelievably, a 2017 study showed that people who napped regularly had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who didn’t nap. To get the most out of your rest, follow these tips.

How long to sleep: Naps provide a lot of help depending on how long they are, says MentalFloss.com. A 20-minute nap will improve alertness(機敏); a 90-minute nap can strengthen creativity. So have a nap between 20 to 90 minutes. If you wake up from a nap feeling confused or more tired, it’s likely that your timing was just off.

What time to sleep: Prevention. com says that you experience a natural drop in body temperature between 1 pm and 3 pm. A power nap at this time can improve alertness for several hours and, for most people, won’t affect being able to fall asleep at night.

How to get comfortable: MentalFloss. com says it takes about 50 percent longer to fall asleep sitting up than lying down. (That’s why we sleep so poorly on planes and trains!) Pick a dark, quiet place . Surprisingly, the best place to sleep may be a hammock (吊床) if you have one.

Consider a “caffeine nap”: It sounds strange, but drinking coffee right before a nap may be very helpful for your alertness after the nap. Since caffeine takes 20 to 30 minutes to take full effect, you’ll feel even more awake after your 20-minute nap.
