The dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings the wind and rain. It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (阴历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Head-raising Day” (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on February21. Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very important to farming. So they thought Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming. People have many ways to celebrate the Longtaitou festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s brothers. They hope getting a haircut on Longtaitou gets rid of (摆脱) bad luck. Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longtaitou festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon’s beard (longxu). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (long’er). And spring rolls are dragon’s scales (longlin). People also hold activities like dragon dancing on the day. In some places in Shandong province, people make dragon lanterns too. Small reed (芦苇) boats go down the rivers and carry the lanterns, which stand for people’s best wishes and good luck. 根据短文内容回答下列问题 (每题答案不超过6个单词) 1．When does the day Longtaitou fall this year 2．What did old people think of Longtaitou 3．Why do people get haircuts on this day 4．How many kinds of food are mentioned (提及) in Paragragh 5 5．What can we learn from this passage 根据短文内容在文章后表格中的空白处填入一个最恰当的词，每空一词。 On November 16, 2024, Evan Kail arrived in China, greeted by the warm smiles of the Chinese people.
