Ⅴ. Read the passage and answer each question within 5 words.
Independence Day, also called the Fourth of July or July Fourth, is a federal holiday in the United States for the Declaration of Independence over 240 years ago on 4th July, 1776. The Continental Congress (大陆会议) declared that the thirteen American colonies (殖民地) regarded themselves as a new nation, the United States of America, and were no longer part of the British Empire. In fact, the Congress actually declared independence two days earlier, on 2nd July.
Independence Day is the National Day of the US. Similar to other summer - themed events, Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors. There are a lot of fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals (嘉年华), fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies (典礼), in addition to different kinds of other public and private events celebrating the history, government and traditions of the US.
Families often celebrate Independence Day by having or joining in a picnic or barbecue. Many take advantage of the day off and, in some years, a long weekend to get together with relatives or friends. Decorations, like streamers, balloons, and clothing, are generally coloured red, white, and blue, the colours of the American flag. Parades are often held in the morning, before family get - togethers, while firework shows are held in the evening after dark at such places as parks, or town squares.
