1 . In a place in Thailand, there is a very special festival for monkeys on the last Sunday of November every year.     1     Because there are many fruit (水果) trees in this place, monkeys often come and go. Many years ago, a businessman (商人) liked monkeys.     2     He put a lot of fruit, juice and so on in front of the door for the monkeys to have. How happy the monkeys were! As time passed, more and more monkeys came to have. And the businessman’s neighbors found it interesting.     3     Later, people in the place planned to prepare a big dinner for the monkeys. The food on the dinner table were the monkeys’ favorite fruit and vegetables. In all, people gave over 2,000 kilograms of fruit and vegetables to over 1,000 monkeys.

Monkey Festival became a tradition (传统) for all the places in 1989. From then on, it attracted (吸引) a lot of people from all over the world.    4     Also, some young people danced to music. These young people dressed up as monkeys to make people feel more interesting.

    5     It also brings fun to people. People have fun here.

8 . American school year begins in late August or early September. It ends in May or June, and then it’s time for summer vacation.

Why is the summer vacation so long? Because young people have to help their family harvest (收割) the summer crops (庄稼). The students living on farms can have vacations for about four months in a year—half in summer.

City school year is often much longer. Many city students want a shorter school year and a longer summer vacation, but their parents are not happy about that. They don’t want their children to stay at home and play on the computers all day while they are at work.

Teachers in America, especially (尤其) in cities, too. A long summer vacation gives teachers more time for other jobs to earn more money.
