Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations，but the 2，000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans．Teams of four，dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes，roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course．On the way，they must not kick or throw their cheese，or go into their competitors' lane．Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos （disappointingly，but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones）．All the competitors are served with beer or port wine，the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese．
Fiery Foods Festival-The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10，000 people head for the city of Albuquerque，New Mexico．They come from as far away as Australia，the Caribbean and China，but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy（辛辣），but hot enough to make your mouth burn，your head spin and your eyes water．Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March．You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper-officially the hottest pepper in the world-or any one of the thousands of products that are on show．But one thing's for sure-if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue，this festival isn't for you!
La Tomatina-The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August，the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina-the world's largest food fight．A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events．The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes-official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd．
The battle lasts little more than half an hour，in which time around 50，000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves，runs，or fights back．Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again-and for a much-needed wash!

3．As a little girl，one of my favorite family traditions was held on the first day of May.Along with my sister，my mother and I would make simple flower baskets by making paper into cones（圓錐形）.Then，we filled the bottom of the cone with small candies before putting some flowers into it.
With our May Day baskets in hand，my sister and I became anonymous gift-givers.After hanging a basket on the front door of a neighbour or friend，we rang the doorbell and ran away.The goal was to remain secret givers.
Historically，the first day of May，often referred to as "May Day"，has been recognised as a celebration of spring，of life and growth.Parades（游行）and dances are ways that the day has been—and continues to be—celebrated in many parts of the world.Although formal May Day celebrations may be less common now，it is always worth celebrating.Here are some simple and lovely ways to celebrate May Day in our homes with those we love：
Making a May Day basket is always a great choice.Although the May Day basket we made as children was simple，the making of the basket was a joy in itself.Consider making or buying some flowers for friends.Fill the basket with a few sweets and write a note thanking your friend or neighbour for their kindness，their presence，and their love.
On May Day，we also take flowers to a local hospital or nursing home.Flowers are always welcome in places that are too often full of sadness.Stopping to have a conversation with a patient and thanking a nurse would be an additional gift—to the receiver and to us!
Besides，we always give friends small gifts to celebrate May Day.A small book or magazine with a note，an art print celebrating spring—the choices are endless.When your friends are far away，an unexpected gift can reawaken friendship across the miles.
（1）What does the underlined part "anonymous gift-givers" refer to？
A．People who are serious about gift-giving.
B．People who don't know the value of gifts.
C．People who are careful about every small detail.
D．People who send gifts and don't want their names to be known.
（2）What do we know about May Day from the text？
A．It is celebrated all over the world.
B．The date of its celebration has changed.
C．It traditionally celebrates the arrival of spring.
D．There is an increase in formal May Day celebrations.
（3）In the author's eyes，May Day is a great chance to.
A．express thanks
B．visit faraway friends
C．read a book or magazine
D．stay with family members
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The history of May Day.
B．Great family traditions.
