25、 The Songkran Festival is traditional Thai New Year’s Day and is celebrated from April 13 to April 15. It is also called the “Water Festival” because people believe that water will wash away bad luck. Also, this festival is for rain because it is held in the hottest season.
In the past, on this day, people threw small drops of water on monks(僧人) and old people to bless them. Nowadays, besides the old tradition, people also throw water on whoever walks past their houses or walks down the street. Everyone gets wet, but it is all in a spirit of friendliness, blessing and fun — even among people who usually have great disagreements. People who get wet actually do not get angry because they know that it is a tradition.
On this day, everywhere in Thailand, people celebrate and enjoy the festival. People will carry water to the temples to soak the stone figures(石像), using brushes. They also give very good food to the monks. Chiang Mai Province, which is in the northern part of Thailand, is especially lively, and animals and birds are often set free from their cages.
Volunteers can stay in Bangkok(曼谷) for the celebrations or travel to smaller communities to take part in local activities. What’s more, people can enjoy public events, such as beauty contests and marching bands during this festival which ends on April 15. In recent years, the number of foreigners in Thailand has increased rapidly, especially during the festival.
The Water Festival gives people freshness, happiness and fun during the hottest season. No wonder the Thais like it so much.

When it comes to controling your anger, if you want to do some self-improvement on your own but you’d also like some support from a therapist(心理治疗师), consider online-therapy.com.

27、How do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV, some are turning on fairy tales (童话).
It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the stories, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones in our lives.
What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl, who insists she is a princess, is given a difficult test by the Queen. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In The Little Mermaid, the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures. In Pinocchio, a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth.
Teaching values is the reason most often given for encouraging children to read stories.These fairy tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that are accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.
【1】Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?
A.Fairy tales can teach them when to make a choice.
B.Fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.
C.They can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.
D.Good and evil are shown in the way they can easily understand.
【2】The Princess and the Pea may tell us we can realize our dream if we ________.
A.are given a difficult test
B.stay true to ourselves
C.never lie to their parents
D.wish to be a princess or prince
【3】The writer writes the passage mainly to ________.
A.introduce some fairy tales
B.talk about the history of fairy tales
C.discuss how to improve human relationships
D.show how fairy tales help children shape values
