五、传统文化 阅读理解。
It is said that every year on the second day of the second Chinese lunar month, the dragon wakes up and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Head-raising Day”（the Longtaitou festival）. Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very necessary for farming. So Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.
People have many ways to celebrate the Longtaitou festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s brothers. They hope getting a haircut on Longtaitou keeps them away from bad luck.
Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longtaitou festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called the dragon’s beard （longxu）. Dumplings are the dragon’s ears（long’er）.
