Part B
Directions :
Read the texts from a magazine article which describes the celebration, of the New Year in, five
places. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each place (61 t0 65) to one of the statements(A toG)given, below. Mark your answers on ANSWERSHEET 1.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh is the home of Hogmanay , a grandly exciting four-day celebration that welcomes the New Year with fire, music, parades and then some more fire. The party starts on Dec.29 with a 15, OOO-strong song-filled candlelight procession and fire festival through Edinburgh and ends with the symbolic burning of a Viking ship. Days of parades, concerts, dog races and fireworks fol-low.
Reykjavik, Iceland
On New Year's Eve, Icelanders in Reykjavik gather around dozens of massive fires in the open to sing traditional folk songs accompanied, according to local legend by imaginary human-like creatures in folk tales. At midnight the city explodes in a massive fireworks display. The dancing and partying that follow last until the sun comes up, which in Iceland is at about lunchtime on Jan. 1.
Kahuitara Point, Chatham Islands
If you want to experience New Year with the early birds, the South Pole is the place to be. On any Jan. 1, the sun sits above the horizon the whole day across most of the South Pole. For a slight-ly more comfortable holiday vacation, head to the Chatham Islands. Kahuitara Point on Pitt Island in this Pacific Ocean chain is the first populated place on the planet to see the sun rise.
Bangkok, Thailand
In Thailand you have three chances to ring in the New Year. On Dec. 31, Western New Year's Eve is celebrated with parties, concerts and fireworks. A few weeks later, the country stages mas-
sive celebrations in honor of Chinese New Year. Finally, on April 13, Thailand celebrates the first
day of the traditional Thai calendar with Songkran, a three-day festival marked by parades, feasts
and water-throwing.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
New Year's Eve is one of Rio de Janeiro's most important holidays. Expensive beachfront cele-
brations unfold along Copacabana, attracting some 2 million participants. Liye music ranging from samba to rock explodes along 'the beach. New Year's Eve is also a day to honor the goddess of sea with conventional offerings packed in small wooden boats. Tradition holds that if the goddess is pleased with a boat's offering, she will carry the boat out to sea and give the bearer blessings. If not, it's a great party.
