Ghost Festivals


　　When someone dies, we are very sad. We miss that person and think about him/her. In some countries there are special festivals for all the dead people. Some of these festivals are to remember our ancestors. Our ancestors lived a long time ago and are now dead. Every family has ancestors. For example, your grandfather's grandfather is your ancestor.
　　A festival for ancestors is a lot of fun. At the festival different people in different countries do different things for their ancestors. Some people give their ancestors food and drink. Some people have parties. What do you do in your country at a festival for ancestors?
　　Every spring there is an important festival for Chinese people all over the world called Qingming. At Qingming families visit the graves of their ancestors. They sweep the graves and make them look nice. They also leave joss-sticks, candles, flowers, food and Chinese wine for their ancestors.
Most Chinese people like to visit the graves of their ancestors
at Qingming. But some people live too far away from their ancestors' graves to visit them. These people often have a special party at home. They cook nice food for their ancestors and later the eat the food themselves.
Many people think you should look after your ancestors. But
some ghosts do not have families in our world. There is a special festival in the summer for these ghosts. It is called The Festival
of Hungry Ghosts.
　　People make special food for the 'hungry ghosts'. They put it outside so the 'hungry ghosts' can take it.
People think that the 'hungry ghosts' also need money, clothes
and houses. People make these things out of paper and then burn them beside roads.
Some people drowned in rivers or the sea so their ghosts do
not have graves. People float paper presents down rivers or in the sea for them.

The Day of the Dead is a very special festival in Mexico. It
is really three days, from 31 October until 2 November. On The Day
of the Dead, Mexicans think that the ghosts of dead people come back to the world. There are parties to welcome the ghosts in all the towns and cities of Mexico.
The Day of the Dead is not a sad day. People eat and drink and
have fun. They make sugar skulls and chocolate coffins. There are model skeletons everywhere.
The model skeletons are often doing something funny. Sometimes
they are answering the telephone or playing the guitar.
　　On the night of 3l October Mexican families get ready for The Day of the Dead. They cook food for the children's ghosts first. This is because many Mexicans think that the ghosts of children come back before the ghosts of adults.
They put many sweet things on the table for the children's
ghosts. There are often chocolate and cakes to eat, and things like
Coke and orange juice to drink.
Then the family cook food for the adults' ghosts. Each ghost
is given his or her favourite food and drink. Sometimes people put special presents on the table for the ghosts to make them happy. Some families also give clothes to the ghosts.
　　The Cordoso family always remembers their grandfather on The Day of the Dead. Grandfather Cordoso's favourite food was chicken and his favourite drink was beer. They cook a big chicken for Grandfather Cordoso, and they give him a large glass of beer. They
do this to tell him how much they love him.
　　Everybody knows that ghosts cannot eat and drink like us. The food will still be there the day after The Day of the Dead, and the Cordoso family will'eat it themselves. But they think that Grandfather Cordoso will e 'o the food, too.

　　Hallowe'en is another important festival for ghosts. It is on the night of 31 October. Today people wear special clothes at Hallowe'en. They tell ghost stories and play games. It is a lot
of fun.
　　In the past Hallowe'en was often very frightening. People called it The Night of the Flying Witches. People thought that the witches were women and that they flew on broomsticks on the night
of Hallowe'en. People also thought that they could do terrible
magic so they lit fires to frighten them. In England there is a very old tower. It is on the top of a hill. Many people call it Witches Hill.
In the past many people thought the tower was a very bad place.
They said that all the witches in England went there at Hallowe'en.
　　On the night of 31 October hundreds of people went to Witches Hill. Each person walked around the tower with a lighted candle because they thought that the witches were afraid of the li hted candles.
Later people went to fortune-tellers at Hallowe'en. A fortune-
teller tells you things about the future. You can ask a fortune- teller any questions, e.g., Who will I marry? Will I be rich?
　　In the past many women asked, 'Who will I marry?' Then the fortune-tellers gave the women a plant and said, 'Put the leaves
of this plant under your pillow at Hallowe'en. That night you will see a man in your dream and you will marry him!'
　　There was also a special Hallowe'en cake. A silver coin was put inside the cake. When the cake was cut into pieces, someone would find the coin inside one of the pieces. People thought that this person would become rich.
　　Hallowe'en is still a special time today. In the USA and Canada children play a game called trick or treat. To play trick or treat
　　
children must wear strange clothes to look like ghosts, witches or animals. They also wear strange masks.
　　The children knock on doors. They say trick or treat to the person in the house. The person in the house must then give the children a 'treat". A treat means something nice like chocolate. When the person inside does not give the children a 'treat', the children then play tricks on him/her.
Children playing trick or treat often carry jack-o'-lanterns.
A jack-o'-lantern is a pumpkin with holes cut in it to look like
a face. The middle of the pumpkin is cut out with a knife and a candle is put inside. A handle is then made from a piece of string . Jack-o'-lanterns are easy to make.

The Youger Brother


　　Terry Jackson's father was a doctor and a very good tennis player, too. Terry's mother was very clever. She was a Science teacher in a big school. Terry's brother, Sid, was four years older than Terry. His sister, Lousia, was two years older than him. Terry was the youngest person in the family! Sid and Lousia went to the same school - Kenton School.
　　People always said to Terry, 'You're very lucky. Both your father and mother are very clever. Your father's a very good tennis player. You'll be very clever and very good at tennis." When Terry was twelve years old, he went to Kenton School, too. His class teacher was Mr Walker. Mr Walker was also the school tennis coach.
'We all know your brother and sister,' Mr Walker said to Terry
on his first day at Kenton School. 'Sid's a very good tennis player and Lousia"S very clever. Are you going to be a tennis champion like your father?'
Terry was worried. 'I don't know, Mr Walker. I'm not a good
tennis player,' he said.
Mr Walker laughed. 'The Jacksons are all good tennis players,'
he said. 'I want you to play for the school tennis team. You will have your first tennis lesson tomorrow.'
Soon Terry had to play tennis for Kenton School. Mr Walker said,
'You're going to play against Ron Skipper. He's the best player at Belton School.'
Terry was very small. Ron Skipper was tall. Ron served very
well. The ball hit the ground on Terry's side. Then it hit the wall behind Terry. Terry missed the ball!
Mr Walker was very surprised. 'Come on, Terry,' he shouted.
'You're a good tennis player. You're going to win.'
　　Ron served again. Terry missed the ball again. Soon Ron won the game.
Now Terry served. He served very badly and the ball hit the
net.
Ron Ski er won the match in thirty minutes!

Puzzles
1. Look at the pictures. Write the right words.
　　2. Terry has written a letter to his friend about the tennis match but some words are missing. Fill in the blanks with these words.

　　Terry was sad and angry. After the match, he ran away. He did not shake hands with Ron Skipper.
'Come back, Terry,' shouted Mr Walker. 'I want to talk to you.' But Terry did not come back. He ran home. His mother was waiting
for him. She did not ask Terry about the match. She said, 'Terry, you must do your homework now. You must work harder at school this year. You must work as hard as your sister!' Lousia was very clever. She wanted to be a vet.
　　Terry locked himself in his bedroom. He tried to do his homework but it was too difficult. He said to himself, 'I'm not like Lousia. I'm not clever!'
When Sid came home, he said to Terry, 'Why did you run away?
Mr Walker was very cross. He wants to see you tomorrow.'
The next day Terry went to see Mr Walker. He was very afraid.
'I talked to your father yesterday, Terry,' said Mr Walker.
'Your father and I want you to practise tennis more. You must have
a tennis lesson with me every day after school.'
'But when will I do my homework, Mr Walker?' asked Terry.
　　'All the jacksons are clever. You can do it after the tennis lesson,' said Mr Walker.
So Terry practised tennis every day after school. And he played
with his father and Sid every weekend.
　　Now Terry was very busy. He had to practise tennis every day after school and do his homework in the evening. He did not have time to play!
'You must do your homework,' his mother told him.
　　'You must practise tennis more if you want to be a good tennis player like me,' said his father.
　　Terry began to hate tennis. He did not want to play tennis any more.
　　One afternoon Terry ran away before his tennis lesson. Sid ran after him. 'Come back! You must come to your tennis lesson,' shouted Sid.
But Terry did not want to go to his lesson. He ran home.

　　Terry's mother was at home when Terry came home. 'You're early today,' she said. 'That's good! Now you can do lots of homework.' Mrs Jackson gave Terry some extra homework. It was very
difficult.
　　About an hour later Mrs Jackson came into 'rerry's bedroom. She asked, 'Have you finished all the homework yet?'
'I can't do it,' said Terry.
'You can't do it?' said Mrs Jackson. 'Why not?'
　　'Because it's too difficult and I'm not like you and Lousia. I'm not clever,' said Terry. 'And ... I'm not good at tennis like
S and Dad. I'm not good at anything!'
　　Terry did not want to talk to anybody and everyone was angry with him.
One afternoon after school Terry was running home. He looked
behind him and saw Mr Walker. Mr Walker was running after Terry. Terry was very angry. 'I don't want to play tennis,' he told himself.
'I don't want to do my homework. I would rather run!'
Terry ran faster and faster. Then he looked behind him. Mr
Walker was not there.
　　That night Terry ran again. When he was running, he was happy. But when he went home, he felt afraid.
'Perhaps Mr Walker will make me play tennis again!' he thought.
　　The next day Mr Walker saw Terry in the school playground. Terry felt very afraid and wanted to run away. But Mr Walker smiled at him and said, 'I tried to catch up with you last night.'
'I'm sorry, Mr Walker, but said Terry.
'I'm a good runner, but you were too fast!' said Mr Walker.
'I couldn't catch up with you. You're a very good runner. Do you like running more than tennis, Terry?'
　　Terry thought about this. When he played tennis, he was not happy. When he did his homework, he was not happy. But when he ran,
he was happy.
'Yes, Mr Walker,' said Terry. 'I would rather run.'

Terry saw Mr Walker again at lunch-time. Mr Walker said, 'I've

'My tennis coach, Mr Walker?' asked Terry.
　　'No,' said Mr Walker, 'your running coach. There'll be a race next month against Belton School.
I want you to run for our school.' Mr Walker ran with Terry
every day. Terry learned to start a race quickly. Mr Walker timed
Terry with his stop-watch. Terr was ver fast!
It was the day of the race. Terry felt very afraid. Belton
School had the best runners. Ron Skipper was their fastest runner. He laughed when he saw Terry.
'What are you doing here?' Ron Skipper asked. 'I won our tennis
match. And I'm going to win this race!'
　　The runners waited for the race to start. Terry looked around. All his family were watching him. Mr Walker was watching, too. He felt very afraid.
The race started. Ron Skipper ran very fast, but Terry ran
faster. Terry won the race! Everyone cheered.
　　Now Terry was very happy. He began to like his lessons. His mother and father were happy. Mr Walker was also happy. 'You have won all your races, Terry,' he said.
'I want to run with the fastest runners in the world,' said
Terry. 'Where can I do that?'
　　Mr Walker smiled. 'At the Olympic Games, Terry,' he said, 'but you'll have to work very hard to run there. Only the best athletes
go to the Olympic Games.'

The Olympic Games


　　The Olympic Games happen every four years. Each time they are in a different city.
The first Olympic Games were more than two thousand years ago
in a place called Olympia in Greece. There were races and lots of different sports. People from all over Greece came to the Olympic Games.
　　The Olympic Games stopped for a very long time. Then a man called Baron Pierre de Coubertin started them again in Athens in
1896. Athletes from all over the world came to the new Olympics.
Today more than 15,000 athletes from 160 countries go to the
Olympics each time.
　　Before the Olympic Games start, there is an opening ceremony with music, dancing and fireworks. All the athletes march into the stadium. Each team carries the flag of its country. Some small countries have very small teams. Big countries like China and the USA have hundreds of athletes.
Then a runner runs into the stadium with the Olympic torch.
The torch is always lit. The runner lights the Olympic fire in the stadium. Then the Olympic Games start.
The best athletes from each country go to the Olympic Games.
There are three medals for each game.
　　The gold medal is for the champion. If you win the gold medal, you are the best athlete in the world at your sport. The silver medal is for the first runner-up. The bronze medal is for the second runner-up.
If you win a medal, everyone sees your country's flag and hears
your country's song.

There are races of 5,000 metres and 10,000 metres. The longest

race is the marathon. The marathon is 42,195 metres long. In the marathon the athletes run in the streets. Then the race ends in the stadium.
　　Today marathon runners are very fast. In 1988 Belayneh Dinsamo from Ethiopia finished the marathon in 2 hours.
　　There are lots of different sports at the Olympics. Some are throwing games. To win a throwing game, the athletes must throw something very far.
　　In the hammer, each athlete throws a very heavy ball with a long wire. The athlete holds the wire in his hands, spins it and himself, then releases it.
　　In the discus, each athlete holds a very heavy discus in one hand. The athlete spins himself/ herself and then throws the discus.

　　In the javelin, each athlete throws a .avelin to make it strike the round.
There are different jumping games, too. There is the long jump,
the triple jump, the high jump and the pole vault.
In the long jump, the jumpers run, step and jump onto a sandpit.
　　In the triple jump, the jumpers run and then hop, step and jump onto a sandpit.
In the high jump, the jumpers jump over a high bar.
　　In the pole vault, the jumpers jump with the help of a long vaulting pole.

but the athletes in the decathlon must be good at running, jumping and throwing.
The decathlon takes two days. There are four different races,

Olympics.
　　The youngest Olympic champion was Joy Foster from Jamaica. She became a table tennis champion in 1958 when she was only eight years old! A boy from France won a boat race at the Olympics in 1900.
He was not more than ten years old.
　　Barbara Pearl Jones from the United States was a runner. She won a gold medal at the 1952 Olympics. She was fifteen years old. Many people all over the world like playing football. The most important football match is the World Cup. It happens every four years.
　　Norman Whiteside was the youngest football player to play in the World Cup. He played in the 1982 World Cup. He was only seventeen!
Pele was the best football player in the world. He started to
play for Brazil when he was seventeen. Brazil won the World Cup three times in 1958,1962 and 1970 when Pele was a player.
Today tennis is one of the most popular sports. In women's
tennis some of the stars are fourteen or fifteen years old. In men's tennis the stars are usually older.
Jennifer Capriati from the United States was fourteen in 1990
when she became a tennis star.
　　Michael Chang is also from the United States. He became a tennis champion and a tennis star in 1989 when he was only seventeen years old.
Many young people want to be sports stars. Some want to play
football in the World Cup. Some want to win a gold medal at the
Olympic Games.
　　It is not easy to be a young sports star. Young sports stars must work very hard. They must practise for many hours a day. Sometimes they do not have time to do their homework so they have
to study at weekends. Sometimes they do not have time to play and
to meet other children. Some young sports stars are very lonely.

The Fishing Hook


　　Two brothers, Hoki and Hono, lived in old Japan. Hoki was a good man, but Hono was not a nice man.
　　'I'm older than you,' Hono said to Hoki. 'And you must always listen to me. '
　　Hoki and Hono had a small house near the sea. Every day Hono went fishing. 'I don't want you to fish with me, Hoki,' said Hono.
'Your ugly face will frighten the fish!'
　　It was winter, and there was snow on the mountains and in the forest. But every day Hoki went to the forest to get wood. He cleaned the house. Then he made the fire and cooked the fish. Hoki worked very hard.
One night Hoki said, 'Brother, can I go fishing tomorrow? Can
I use your fishing hook? '
Hono thought, then he said, 'You must give me ten gold coins.
'
'Hono, I only have ten gold coins!' said Hoki. 'But I will give
them to you. '
The next day Hoki went to the sea-shore with the fishing hook.
He fished for many hours, but he did not catch any fish. Then Hoki saw an enormous fish.
The fish bit the fishing hook. Hoki pulled the fishing line,
but the line broke and the fish swam away.
　　'Come back!' shouted Hoki to the fish. 'You've got Hono's fishing hook in your mouth. ' But the fish did not come back.
Hoki was upset. He went home without the fishing hook. Hono
was very angry. 'Where's my hook? ' shouted Hono. 'Leave our home now! You must not come back without the fishing hook!'
Hoki walked away from the house. Hono started to laugh. 'I have
many fishing hooks,' Hono thought to himself. 'But I wanted Hoki
to go away, and now he will never come back. '
　　Hoki went back to the sea-shore. He sat on a rock above the water. He was very sad. How could he find the fishing hook now?
Hoki stood up and closed his eyes. Then he jumped into the sea.

　　Hoki sank deeper and deeper into the sea. Then he came to the bottom.
　　Hoki opened his eyes and saw a garden with flowers, trees, rocks and coral. There was a beautiful palace inside the garden. It was made of pink shells.
　　There was a beautiful girl in the middle of the garden. She was sitting on a rock.The girl ran into the palace and spoke to the King of the Sea. 'Father, a man is here,' she said. 'He's very handsome!'
　　Then the girl came back to the garden with her father. 'Welcome, young man,' said the King of the Sea. 'Come into our palace. ' Hoki was very happy to live under the sea. Every day he walked
in the palace garden with the King's daughter, Princess Jade.
　　Hoki fell in love with Princess Jade. Soon they were married. All the fish in the sea came to their wedding.
Hoki and Princess jade were very happy. But one day Hoki
remembered the fishing hook. He became very sad. 'Poor Hono needs his hook,' he thought to himself. 'He can't go fishing without it.
'
　　Hoki went to see the King of the Sea. He told the King about the fishing hook. 'I'll tell all the fish to come to the palace," said the King. 'We'll find your fishing hook. ' 'Hoki has lost
a fishing hook,' the King told the fish. 'Have any of you eaten
it? We want to give it back to Hoki's brother. '
The fish looked at each other. 'I haven't eaten a fishing hook,'
they said. But then an old shark spoke. He looked very sick.
　　'I ate the fishing hook,' said the shark. 'It's here in my mouth. It hurts me very much. Please take it out. '
Hoki put his hand into the old shark's mouth. He found the hook
and pulled it out. The shark thanked Hoki.
　　Then Hoki said to Princess jade, 'I must take this hook back to Japan.
Then I'll build a palace for you on the land. '

　　'You must make the wal. Is with rocks, and the doors with wood. You must make the roof with the feathers of sea birds. And you have
to finish the palace in one year. '
　　The King gave Hoki a magic shell. 'One day this shell could help you,' he said. 'It can lift up the sea. You can also use it
to talk to sea birds. ' Then the King told a crocodile to take Hoki
to Japan. Hoki rode out of the palace on the crocodile's back. Hoki rode the crocodile out of the water to the sea-shore. Hono was making fishing nets at the edge of the water. He was very surprised and angry to see Hoki!
　　'Hono, it's me!' Hoki shouted. 'I've found your fishing hook!' But Hono threw a big stone at Hoki. 'Brother, what are you doing?
' said Hoki. 'I've come back to give you your fishing hook. '
　　'You've come back to steal my house and my gold!' shouted Hono. Hono took a dagger out of his pocket and ran towards Hoki. 'I'm going to kill you,' he shouted.
Hoki was very frightened. Then he remembered the magic shell.
He took it out of his pocket. 'Magic shell, please lift up the sea,'
he said.
　　'Goodbye, my ugly brother!' Hono shouted, and he pushed the dagger towards Hoki's heart. But an enormous wave came out of the sea, and Hono disappeared under the water.
The wave knocked Hoki over. When Hoki stood up, the sea was
quiet, and Hono was not there. Hoki threw the fishing hook into the sea. He never saw Hono again.
