    Use this list of winter festivals to plan your trip or plan around them, as many of these festivals will tie up transport and accommodations and drive up prices. It’s all up to you: either plan your travel dates around them, or arrive early enough to jump into the festive atmosphere!

Lighting Festival

A day-trip away from South Korea’s capital Seoul, the Garden of Morning Calm is a must-see during the festival. The lights there cover an area of some 330,000 square meters, using 30,000 colorful LED lights hanging from the trees. Wander around the fairy-like wonderland created by the lights-through such fields like Bonsai Garden, Moonlight Garden, and the Garden of Eden.

Where: Gapyeong County, South Korea

When: December—Mid-March

Harbin Ice Festival

Millions of tourists visit this icy festival every year, drawn by the massive ice sculptures that decorate the fairgrounds next to Songhua River. The sculptures, ice palaces, mazes and slides are simply massive in scale, constructed from some 260,000 cubic yards of ice blocks harvested from the river. They range in size from life-scale carvings of animals and fantastic creatures, to massive 250-foot structures that tower over the crowds.

Where: Harbin, China

When: January 5-February 5

Sapporo Snow Festival

Japan’s biggest winter festival has expanded in size and scope since its first celebration in 1950. The festival covers two main sites in Sapporo. The centerpiece Odori Park site features some 100 ice sculptures dazzlingly lit up after dark. The Susukino district site features a smaller scale of ice sculptures decorating the district. The sculptures cover animals both real and fantastic, including anime-based creatures like Pokemon. Visitors can also enjoy snow mazes, street food, musical performances and skating on the ice rink near Odori Park.

Where: Sapporo, Japan

When: February 4-11

Sky Lantern Festival

The Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival in Taiwan, China, is the most visited lantern festival, lighting the skies with floating lanterns. Its counterpart in the Yanshui District favors a noisier kind of illumination—the Tainan Yanshui Fireworks Display takes place at Tainan’s Wumiao Temple, where locals dare to be hit by small fireworks as a test of their strength and to ward off evil.

Where: Pingxi and Yanshui, Taiwan, China

When: February

B

Margie wrote about it that night in her diary, “Today Tommy found a real book!”

It was a very old book. Margie’s grandfather once said that when he was a little boy his grandfather told him that there was a time when all stories were printed on paper. They turned the pages, which were yellow and crinkly（皱巴巴的）, and it was awfully funny to read words that stood still instead of moving in the way they were supposed to—on a screen.

“What’s it about?”

“School.”

Margie was scornful. “School? What’s there to write about school?” Margie was always fed up with school. The mechanical teacher had been giving her test after test in geography. So she said to Tommy, “Why would anyone write about school?”

Tommy looked at her with very superior eyes, “Because it’s not our kind of school, stupid. This is the old kind of school that they had centuries ago.”

She read the book over his shoulder for a while, and said, “Anyway, they had a teacher.”

“Sure they had a teacher, but it wasn’t a regular teacher. It was a man.”

“A man isn’t smart enough.” She added, “I wouldn’t want a strange man in my house to teach me.”

Tommy screamed with laughter. “You don’t know much, Margie. They had a special building and all the kids of the same age went there, learning the same thing from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.”

They weren’t even half-finished when Margie’s mother called, “Margie! School!” Margie looked up. “Not yet, Mamma.” “Now!” said Mrs. Jones.

Actually the mechanical teacher was on and waiting for her. It was always on at the same time every day except Saturday and Sunday, because her mother said little girls learned better if they learned at regular times.

The large screen was lit up. “Today’s math lesson is on the addition of proper fractions（分数）. Please insert yesterday’s homework in the proper slot （插槽）.” Margie did so with a sigh. She was thinking about how the kids must have loved school in the old days. All the kids from the whole neighborhood came, sitting together in the schoolroom, going home together at the end of the day. And the teachers were people. She was thinking about the fun they had.

24. What does the underlined word “scornful” in paragraph 5 mean?

A. Interested.   B. Amazed.   C. Doubtful.   D. Disrespectful.

25. Where is Margie’s schoolroom?

A. Inside her house.        B. In a special building.

C. On campus.        D. Around her neighborhood.

26. What is the similarity between the school in the book and the one Margie attended?

A. Teachers of great wisdom.     B. Classmates of the same age.

C. Regular schooling hours.     D. Advanced learning equipment.

27. Which of the following may Margie agree with?

A. Doing math homework is more than funny.

B. The school life in the old days is much more appealing.

C. Mechanical teachers are more suitable for teaching her.

D. Reading on a screen is more convenient than reading a real book.
