Four unusual festivals around the world
The Wife Carrying World Championships — Sonkajärvi, Finland
Although the exact origins of the tradition are unknown because of its long history, but today, wife carrying is
practiced around the world. Participants are allowed to carry their wives in various ways, including a piggyback or
a fireman’s carry (over the shoulder). The prize for winning the race is the wife’s weight in beer.
The Monkey Buffet (自助餐) Festival — Lopburi, Thailand
You may consider how a monkey would taste, but this is a buffet for monkeys. The local monkeys in Lopburi
are gifted with a feast of tons of fruits, vegetables, cakes, and candies every November. After the monkeys are
given the treats, youths dressed up as monkeys perform dances. The festival first took place in 1989, run by a local
businessman to boost tourism in Lopburi. Luckily for him and the monkeys, it worked.
The Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South Korea
The festival first took place in 1998, and it was originally created as a marketing event for Boryeong mud
cosmetics (化妆品). The mud from Boryeong is considered rich in natural minerals and is used to make beauty
products. Popular activities include mud swimming, mud slides and mud skiing.
The La Tomatina Festival — Buñol, Valencia, Spain
The festival has been organized annually in August in Buñol since 1940s, when a noisy crowd take the
tomatoes from a vegetable stall and start a food fight. The hour — long tomato fight used up about 145,000 kg of
tomatoes in 2015. Since 2013 it has been a ticketed event to limit participants to just 20,000.

B
It was the day before Thanksgiving and Kaleb Benham was wandering around outside his home in Noring
California. His 90-pound pit bull, Buddy, was playing around nearby, doing what dogs do: getting into trouble.
And this time, Buddy was getting into a whole lot of trouble.
The unmistakable sound that no one wants to hear alone in the woods caught Benham’s attention. It was the
deep, strange roar of a black bear. Benham wheeled around to see the beast, which Benham figured weighed
around 350 pounds, some 100 feet away. In an instant, the bear fastened on to Buddy’s head and started dragging
him away.
Benham
,
a thin, fit 24-year-old, took off after them. “Honestly,” he told CBS13, “the only thing I could
think of was ‘save my baby’.” Sprinting, he lowered his shoulder and plowed into the bear. But it only tightened
its grip on Buddy. Benham grabbed the bear by the throat. Nothing. He tried getting its mouth open, but the jaw
was locked tight. Benham resorted to street fighting—punching the bear over and over around its snout and eye.
It worked. The bear dropped the dog and ran off into the woods.
Buddy was in bad shape. His face was bloodied and ripped up. His ears were dangling. He had a bite mark
clear through his lip and one that barely missed an eye.
“My first thought was that I was going to lose him,” Benham said. He scooped up Buddy, put him into his
car, and sped off to a nearby veterinarian. Buddy’s surgery took nearly four hours. Benham watched the
procedure through a window. “I just stood there,” he said, watching as Buddy’s ears were stapled back on and
skin flaps were stitched, and tubes were inserted into his head to drain fluid.
This was the second time Benham had rescued Buddy, says CBS13. The first was from a shelter a few years
ago. “If it was your kid, what would you do?” he asked. Nodding toward Buddy, he added, “That’s my kid.”
4. What is the text mainly about?
A. A demanding surgery. B. A regular routine.
C. A fearless pet dog. D. A daring rescue.
5. Why did the author mention the weight of the bear in paragraph 2?
A. To show the difficulty of the rescue.
B. To indicate the obesity of the bear.
C. To prove the excitement of Benham.
D. To describe the fear in Buddy’s heart.
6. How was the dog finally saved from the bear?
A. Benham bumped into the beast with dropped shoulder.
B. Benham forced open the beast’s mouth with locked jaw.
C. Benham crushed the beast’s mouth and nose repeatedly.
D. Benham finally conquered the beast by grabbing its throat.
7. Which word can best describe the relationship between Benham and Buddy?
A. Complicated. B. Close.
C. Romantic. D. Healthy.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者勇斗熊营救自己的宠物狗的故事。
