This custom is deeply rooted in the community’s culture, serving as a celebration of not only the first catch but also significant life milestones such as graduations, births, and weddings. Mertarvik, a village located a dozen miles from the Bering Sea, recently witnessed such a festive occasion. Mildred, a local resident, decided to organize this event to honour her daughter’s graduation and her grandchildren’s recent achievements. For several months, she had been carefully gathering and storing gifts in her home, preparing for the big day. The key to a throwing party lies in the joyful act of sharing. As the elders took their places, Mildred, along with her daughter Teddy Ann Bell and niece Amy Kassaiuli, took part in the heartwarming ceremony of tossing(投掷) gifts from a blue plastic container high into the air. The thrown things, which included various candies, toys, and things for daily use, represented a new version of the age-old practice of giving out the season’s first catch. As the gift-giving ended, the younger members of the community searched through the snow for any missed treasures. Each person left with a special thing, showing the strengthening of community ties that would last until the next throwing party in the fall. Safety and practical needs are also thought about in this celebration. Items that can be dangerous or are too big, such as wooden spoons, are carefully packed into cloth bags for sharing. The party serves double purposes, not only as a family celebration but also as a very important community gathering. This tradition stands as a symbol of the resilience(适应力) and unity of Western Alaska’s people, who depend on one another and their natural surroundings for life and a feeling of being part of something. 1.What does the underlined word “commencement” in paragraph 1 mean?( ) A.Condition.
