The Fire Festival
[2023-2024重庆市第八中学校高-下期未]The Fire Festival is celebrated in northern Ghana.It'sa
holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community
volunteers.It's unbelievably great.
On the Fire Festival,drums beat a quick and regular rhythm that locals dance to in a circle of
bodies,men and women,the old and young,holding torches of burning grass above their heads,which
stands for the light and getting off negative energies.
At this moment,this festival is being held at the beginning of the lunar year.The locals are all so
involved in the celebration that they don't pay as much attention to us as they normally will.When they
find us getting involved as they are,they dance more vigorously and scream with joy.
Danielle,a friend of mine in the Peace Corps,says,"That we join in the celebration is significant
because foreigners here are typically seen as the representatives of other organizations,not as people who
are willing to join in the Fire Festival rituals ()But in fact,we are dancing and celebrating
as one.”
Our two-year Peace Corps service will finish up in mid-November.We can think of no better way to
say goodbye than by celebrating the Fire Festival with the villagers we've come to know.The festival lets
us see a different side of them,and lets them see a different side of us.The neighbors who sell rice are
now the women who urge us to run faster and dance harder at the Fire Festival.And rather than view us
as low-key volunteers,they see us as the ones who have crazy dance steps with wild screams.

pancake,competition,festival
Each year,the women of Olney and Liberal compete in an unusual footrace.Dressed in aprons(
and headscarves,they wait at both towns'starting lines.Each woman holds a frying pan with one
pancake inside.At the signal,the women flip (their pancakes and they're off!
This "pancake racing"tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday,1445,in Olney.Shrove
Tuesday is the day before the Christian season of Lent (begins.During Lent,many people
decide to give up sugary or fatty foods.
Legend says that in 1445,an Olney woman was making pancakes to use up some of her sugar
and cooking fats before Lent.She lost track of time and suddenly heard the church bells ring,
signalling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service.Realizing that she was going to be late for
church,she raced out the door,still wearing her apron and headscarf and holding her frying pan
with a pancake in it.In the following years,the woman's neighbors imitated her dash to church and
pancake racing was born.
In 1950,inspired by a picture of the Olney Pancake Race in a magazine,a resident of Liberal
wanted his town to join in the fun.He called Olney to set up a friendly competition,and the people of
Olney accepted.
The rules are simple.Racers must wear the traditional headscarves and aprons.They must flip their
pancakes twice-once before starting and once after crossing the finish line.After the race,there are
Shrove Tuesday church services.Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race
times and declare a winner.
In both towns,the races have grown into larger festivals.Olney's festival is an all-day event starting
with a big pancake breakfast.Liberal's festival lasts four days,including a parade,a talent show,and
contests that feature eating and flipping pancakes.
4.What can we know about the Olney Pancake Race?
A.It was founded by an Olney woman.
B.It began during Lent.
C.Its origin can date back to the 15th century.D.It has been held annually since 1445.

5.What are the competitors required to do according to the rules?

B.Throw and catch the pancake twice.
C.Have the pancake cooked while running.
D.Keep the pancake on the frying pan all the way.
