The Chinese Spring Festival is regarded as the most significant festival of the year among the Chinese. It lasts for 15 days but Chinese people also consider the days of preparation beforehand as an important part of the Spring Festival.
There are a number of things people usually do before the Chinese Spring Festival. One of these is cleaning the house for the Lunar New Year. Dust makes people think of old or outdated things. Therefore, sweeping dust out of the house is a way of saying goodbye to old things and welcoming new things.
Another important custom for families is to decorate their doors with red couplets. The phrases on the couplets express hopes for a prosperous new year. In the southern part of China, people will buy fresh flowers or orange trees to decorate their homes. The most important custom of the Chinese Spring Festival is the big family dinner on the eve of the Lunar New Year. This is usually a big reunion of grandparents, parents, and children. It reflects how important family is to Chinese people among the world. That is why millions of Chinese people travel long distances to get home before the eve of the Lunar New Year. Also, families typically eat certain types of lucky food at the family reunion dinner. Eating fish, for example, is supposed to bring more wealth and prosperity than one needs, as the pronunciation of “fish” in Chinese (yu) is also used for “surplus”.

Another part of this custom of sharing good wishes is to pay visits to relatives and bring them monly exchanged gifts include food such as fruit, sticky rice cakes, and homemade desserts. In addition, friends and family go out to enjoy loud and colorful fireworks, spend time at temple fairs, and watch exciting dragon and lion dances.
The Chinese Spring Festival symbolizes a farewell to the old year and a warm welcome to the brand new year.

Winter Carnival in Quebec
A group of very cold tourists are sitting in a café in old Quebec, drinking hot coffee to try to warm up. The windows are covered with steam from the heat inside. Outside, the temperature is -32℃. Snow covers the streets and is piled up along the sidewalks. The music and the lights of the Quebec Winter Carnival continue, but after a whole day of watching parades, riding in horse carriages, and listening to music, the tourists’ feet are freezing and their noses are red.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people come to Quebec to take part in the week-long winter festival. Everyone who comes must be prepared to keep moving, as it is too cold to stand and watch for long.
1. Why must tourists keep moving while watching the carnival
Because it is too cold to stand and watch for long.
2. What can you watch early in the morning
Snowboarding competition on the hill overlooking the river.
3. What risk may the braver tourists take while trying the canoe races
If they were to fall in the cold river, they would freeze to death in under two minutes.
4. What are the three kinds of sound that create an exciting northern experience
--the sound of dogs barking,
--the calls of the drivers,
--and the shouts of the crowd.
5. What is special about the dogs for the dop-sled race
They are strong with thick fur, and many have blue eyes.
Early in the morning, you can watch the snowboarding competition on the hill overlooking the petitors speed down the track and through the air as though they could fly.
The more brave of heart may try the canoe races. Five or six men paddle each canoe across the partly-frozen St Lawrence River. The river is full of big chunks of ice, and if you were to fall in, you would freeze to death in under two minutes.
One of the favorite events is the dog-sled race, in which teams of about six husky dogs pull long sleds at great speeds along a snowy track. One person drives the sled, shouting to the dogs to encourage them. The sound of the dogs barking, the calls of the drivers, and the shouts of the crowd create an exciting northern experience. The dogs are strong and beautiful animals with thick fur, and many have blue eyes.
While admiring the ice sculptures everywhere in the city, much like those in Harbin in China, you can stop off with other tourists in an igloo for hot tea or coffee. It is amazing how warm these ice houses can be!
Later in the evening, you can join the crowd at the Ice Palace, where Bonhomme the snowman is king. You can dance outside to the music of a band, whose members are all dressed in heavy clothes --- even some of their instruments are dressed up for winter.
Finally, you will probably want to sit down in a café to warm up and plan for the next day. You might want to join the snowmobile races --- or maybe you should just sleep in!
1. What can you do while admiring the ice sculptures
You can stop off with other tourists in an igloo for hot tea or coffee.
2. What can tourists do later in the evening
--They can join the crowd at the Ice Palace
--and dance to the music of a band.
3. What activities are advised for the next day
--join the snowmobile races
--or just sleep in.
