[2026南通市启东市期末]There are many important festivals in a year. I love to celebrate them all!
The Spring Festival is in winter. My parents prepare for the festival by cleaning our house. We also put up paper-cuts on our windows. We also make some special dishes like jiaozi and niangao. The elders often give some red packets to the kids to wish them good luck. They are fun traditions.
In spring, we have the Qingming Festival, which is also called Tomb Sweeping Day. On that day, people sweep the tombs of their dead relatives and bring flowers to show their respect and memory for them. The Qingming Festival is also a good time to have outdoor activities.
Then, in summer, we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. We often eat rice dumplings to celebrate it. In some places, there are also exciting dragon boat races.
The Double Ninth Festival is in autumn. On this day, people often go mountain climbing to enjoy the natural beauty of autumn. The Double Ninth Festival is also a time to show love for our elders. This is because "double ninth" sounds like the word "forever" in Chinese.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also in autumn and it is important. In my family, we always eat mooncakes together. Mooncakes are a symbol of family reunion. We eat them in the hope of staying together forever.
1. How many festivals are mentioned in the passage?
2. Which festivals are in autumn?
3. Why do the elders give red packets to the kids?
4. What special food do people often eat at the Dragon Boat Festival?
5. Which festival do you like best? Why?（请自拟一句话作答）
