During the festival, the Yi people come together to light torches and join in all kinds of activities, such as building fires, horse racing and beauty competitions.

①Spain is home to some crazy festivals. From throwing tomatoes at one another to burning dolls made of cardboard, wood or plastic, the Spanish festivals are quite amazing. You may not have heard of the Haro Wine Festival (哈罗葡萄酒节) , but it is full of fun.
②The festival, actually a battle of wine，is held in June each year in Haro, one of the most important wine producing towns in northern Spain. The Haro Wine Festival was only announced(宣布) as a festival of both national and touristic interest in 1965, but its origins (起源) could go back much further.

One day, people from the two sides started throwing wine at each other to solve the problem. That day the tradition started and got the name “War of Wine”．
③During the festival, the wine fight begins early in the morning in the places out of Haro. People are armed with buckets(木桶), water guns and anything that can be filled with red wine, and they pour the wine onto their friends or strangers. Everyone is supposed to wear a white shirt during the “fight”， because it is easily stained (染色). The “fight” will last for several hours until everyone's shirt becomes bright purple. They will then return to the centre of the town to enjoy delicious food and drinks.
④ Each year, thousands of people, the locals and visitors, celebrate the festival. Maybe you can become a member of them one day. The only problem is that you will smell like wine for days after the “fight”．

A holiday is a special time to remember special people or special events in history. The word “holiday” is made up of two words: “holy (神圣的)” and “day”. At one time, most holidays were related to religion (宗教). Today, holidays celebrate more than religion. Some holidays are even for nature or animals! Earth Day, for example, is a holiday when we think about how to take care of our planet, Earth.
Nearly every month has an important holiday. On some holidays, children do not have to go to school and adults do not have to go to work. Of course, there are people who have to work, even on a holiday. Police officers, bus drivers, firefighters, and hospital workers have to work on holidays. They are always needed, even on important holidays. These people are still working hard at their posts (岗位) while everyone else gets to stay home and celebrate. How great they are!
People celebrate holidays by spending time together. Holidays are a great time for family members to get together and get relaxed.
People also celebrate some holidays through parading (游行). There are large parades in many cities and towns around the world. One of the largest holiday parades in America is the Macy's Parade in New York City. It is held every year on Thanksgiving Day. It is to celebrate both Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. It attracts more than 3.5 million people every year, and it is watched by nearly 50 million people on TV.
