三、阅读表达
May Day, the first day of the month of May, is a special day. You may think it is International Workers’ Day and the beginning of your May Day holiday. For people from the West, May Day is also one of the biggest spring festivals. Many nations in Europe and North America celebrate it. And it is nothing new. In fact, it has to do with three even older festivals.
May Day comes from Floralia, Beltane and Walpurgis Night. The first was an old festival in Italy. It celebrated Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers. The second is still celebrated in Ireland and Scotland. It marks the beginning of summer. The third is usually celebrated in Northern Europe to welcome the coming of warm days. People gather to celebrate the arrival of spring.
Bonfires (篝火) are an important part of Beltane. People jump over them for good luck. In Northern Europe, people also light bonfires for Walpurgis Night. The bonfires keep them safe from bad things. Over time, these festivals helped make modern May Day.
