The three-day event is a celebration of red hair, a feature only shared by only 1%-2% of the global population. And although redheads can be found all over the world, the numbers are higher for people from the north of Europe, where the rate is between 2% and 6%. For many attendees, like 30-year-old Scottish Liam Hunter, the festival is an opportunity to feel a sense of belonging and self-acceptance. Hunter, who has experienced bullying(霸凌) due to his hair color, expressed a sense of satisfaction and unity at the event. "I don’t feel alone anymore. I feel together, a part of something," he said. The event, which attracted about 5, 000 redheads from various countries, offered a lot of activities including workshops on painting, make-up and skincare tips, photo shoots, music and speed meet events. Interestingly, the festival’s start was somewhat accidental. Bart Rouwenhorst, an artist and the event’s organiser, placed an advertisement in the local newspaper in 2005 seeking 15 red-haired models for a painting project. Surprisingly, he received responses from 150 individuals. Although Rouwenhorst was not a redhead himself, he decided to organise a group photo with all the respondents. The gathering got much attention and was considered a success, leading the organisers to establish it as an annual event. Now the festival serves as a special stage for redheads to celebrate their differences, develop a sense of community, and raise awareness about the challenges they face, such as bullying and discrimination(歧视). It also provides an opportunity for non-redheads to learn about and appreciate the uniqueness of red hair. 1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?( ) A.Red hair is a common disease in the world. B.Redheads celebrate their festival with various activities. C.The Redhead Days Festival is celebrated around the world. D.Population in northern Europe has a higher rate of redheads. 2.What does Hunter’s experience tell us?( ) A.The redheads enjoy a high social position. B.The redheads take pride in their difference. C.The redheads face discrimination sometimes. D.The redheads have trouble keeping up with others. 3.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?( ) A.The origin of the festival. B.The popularity of the festival. C.The customs during the festival. D.The activities during the festival. 4.Which of the following can best describe the festival?( ) A.Challenging. B.Casual. C.Meaningful. D.Costly. 五、七选五 As the season of celebrations begins, many of us find it difficult to let go of the pressure to stop what we are doing. 1.___ They think the holidays often feel like a series of fake celebrations, full of forced gratitude, capturing(捕捉)picture-perfect moments for our carefully-planned lives on social media. 2.___ Thanksgiving Day is meant to reflect gratitude and connections. Yet, for many, these ideals can feel out of reach, especially when they spend long hours with family members they rarely see or don’t feel close to.3.___ Friendsgiving, a modern alternative to the traditional family-centered Thanksgiving gathering, has been gaining popularity since the early 2000s, officially making its way into Urban Dictionary in 2009. The new holiday offers flexibility and creativity. 4.___ Inviting friends often reduces the stress and performative nature of traditional holidays, creating an environment free from the risk of family disagreements. Traveling for Thanksgiving Day can be exhausting, inconvenient, and expensive.5.___ You can celebrate locally or plan your travels for a less hectic(繁忙的) , off-peak time. Most importantly, Friendsgiving allows us to express gratitude to the people who truly enrich our lives — the ones who are kind and supportive in our day-to-day lives. Sometimes, that’s not family by blood but by choice. So, skip the pressure of a fine feast, grab some board games, order some pizza, and create your own version of holiday joy. A. Thus, a new holiday, Friendsgiving, came into being. B. However, Friendsgiving provides a flexible alternative. C. It’s a good way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with our beloved ones. D. For the people who dislike the holiday traditions, these can be disturbing. E. They have a strong desire to express their gratitude to their friends or family members. F.
