Section Ⅳ　“Developing ideas”的课文习读环节 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, holds a special place in the rich field of Chinese traditional festivals. Falling on April 4th, 5th, or 6th of the Gregorian calendar, this festival serves two main purposes: remembering the dead and celebrating the arrival of spring. One of the most important customs during Qingming is tomb-sweeping. Families make their way to cemeteries, often located in quiet natural settings. They clean the tombstones, removing dirt and weeds, and offer gifts such as food, flowers, and paper money. This act is a meaningful expression of filial piety (孝道), allowing descendants (后代) to pay their respects to their dead ancestors and maintain a connection with the past. Kites are a big part of Qingming Festival. Flying kites during this time is not only a form of entertainment. In some regions, people write their misfortunes or illnesses on the kites and then cut the strings, letting the kites fly away. It is believed that this will carry all the bad luck into the sky, bringing good fortune and health to the family. Another aspect of Qingming is eating qingtuan, a green-colored glutinous (黏的) rice dumpling. Made from glutinous rice flour and mugwort (艾蒿) juice, qingtuan has a unique flavor. It is often filled with red bean paste or other sweet fillings. Qingtuan is not only a delicious treat but also a symbol of the festival, representing the freshness and energy of spring. In recent years, while keeping its traditional meaning, Qingming Festival has also adapted to modern times. Online tomb-sweeping platforms have appeared, providing a convenient way for people who are unable to visit cemeteries in person to pay their respects. This shows how the festival keeps changing, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中国的传统节日清明节。这个节日主要有扫墓、放风筝、吃青团等习俗，且在现代社会不断发展变化。 1．Why do families perform tomb-sweeping during Qingming Festival?
