题目

阅读理解 The Nobel Prize-winning Mexican writer Octavio Paz said, "The art of the festival has been debased (下降) almost everywhere else, but not in Mexico.” Here are several events that would have made him proud: Morelia International Film Festival The Morelia film fest really brings this colonial city to life in mid-October. Created as a platform for documentaries and fiction works, the programming offers an up-close look at Mexican society as seen through the eyes of a new generation of filmmakers. Fashionable bars and sidewalk cafes are buzzing with activity around the main square, where crowds gather nightly for open-air screenings and other cultural events. Day of the Dead Each year on November 1st and 2nd, Mexico turns its thoughts to the departed during the Day of the Dead festivities, a colorful tradition deeply rooted in native culture. For Mexicans, death is more a cause for celebration than mourning, and that spirit has been kept very much alive in Pátzcuaro, the Día de Muertos mecca. Prepare yourself to battle large crowds of the living. Carnival in Veracruz &Mazatlán Mexico hosts many carnival celebrations every year featuring exciting parades, dance performances, live music and of course, big-time partying. The nine-day event in Veracruz, Mexico's biggest carnival, usually kicks off in March, right around the same time when festivities get started on the Pacific coast in Mazatlán. You can shake your body with salsa music in Veracruz or the brass band sounds of Mazatlán. La Morisma An all-out war erupts on the streets of colonial Zacatecas, usually around late August. OK, well, it's actually a mock battle with well over 2,000 participants re-enacting battles between the Christians and Moors in old Spain.
