Question

Everyone loves holidays and festivals. But do you know a holiday that is celebrated every month? Yes, it's the only holiday that takes place twelve times a year—Bonza Bottler Day.

Bonza Bottler Day is celebrated once a month when the number of the month is the same as the number of the day (Jun. 1, Feb. 2, March. 3). When the number of the year also matches the number of the day and month (August 8, 2008), there is reason to have a bigger celebration.

Elaine Fermont from America came up with the idea for Bonza Bottler Day on August, 1985. She created it when she realized that there were no special chances to celebrate one month. She decide to give herself a reason to have a party and some fun with this special day every month.

Mrs. Fremont held a competition to give the day a special name, which a student from Australia won. When Australians like something, they might shout,” Bonza!”. The word means super, great or fantastic. And “Bottler"is slang(俚语)for something excellent. So the holiday is known as Bonza Bottler Day.

Bonza Bottler Day has no tradition. You are free to do whatever you want. People in offices and hospitals bring food to share. Bonza Bottler Day is a favorite with many schools because it gives a break to students. The holiday can be Candy Day, Ice Cream Day, Be Kind to Classmates  Day,  No Homework Day, Picnic Day, and the list goes on.

1.

2.

细节理解题。根据Mrs. Fremont held a competition to give the day a special name, which a student from Australia won，可知，伊莱恩举办了一场为这个节日命名的比赛,一个澳大利亚的学生胜出，所以这个节日的名字是由这个澳大利亚学生命名的。故选C。

3.

推理判断题。根据Bonza Bottler Day is celebrated once a month when the number of the month is the same as the number of the day (Jun. 1, Feb. 2, March. 3). When the number of the year also matches the number of the day and month (August 8, 2008), there is reason to have a bigger celebration，可知，这个节日是用来庆祝每个月中月份和日期相同的那一天，当年份也和月份，日期相匹配时，会有一个更大的庆祝，所以A选项错误。根据She decide to give herself a reason to have a party and some fun with this special day every month，可知，弗里蒙特夫人创造了这个节日是为了给自己每个月开派对的理由，所以B选项错误。根据When Australians like something, they might shout,” Bonza!”. The word means super, great or fantastic，可知，澳大利亚人喜欢某个东西时，他们可能会喊“优秀”，所以个词跟澳大利亚的文化息息相关，故C选项错误。根据Bonza Bottler Day has no tradition. You are free to do whatever you want，可知，你可以用任何方式去庆祝这个节日，所以D选项正确。故选D。
