Then he took  off, gave a big smile and said “That is cool”.

Lonely Planet, one of the world's(large) travel brands, has described what happens: “People race around the streets of Jinghong and the surrounding villages, soaking（浸透）every person sight with buckets of water.(tradition), water would be collected and poured only on family members as a
symbolic way(ensure) good luck in the coming year. Dai people believe that the wetter you get, the luckier you will be.
Although water (play)a vital role in the celebration, there is much more to the festival, especially during the first two days water splashing is comparatively kept under control, according to Lonely Planet. People wear their best clothes, while older women in nearby villages(dress) in traditional outfits（服装）.They gather with their families and visit Dai temples. There, they wash the statues of Buddha（佛教）with water, a practice(know) as ”Bathing the Buddha".

Humor

If you see humor as an optional form of entertainment，you're missing some of its biggest benefits：Humor makes average﹣looking people look cute and uninteresting people seem entertaining．Studies show that a good sense of humor even makes you seem smarter．

Best of all，humor raises your energy，and that can have an effect on everything you do at school，at work，or in your personal life．The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise，and that will raise your overall energy even more．

Humor also transports your mind away from your daily troubles．Humor lets you better understand life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems．

In my experience，most people think they have a sense of humor，and to some degree that's true．But not all senses of humor are created equal．So I thought it would be useful to include some humor tips for everyday life．

You don't have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humor．You can be the one who directs the conversation to fun topics that are ripe for others to add humor．Every party needs a straight person．You'll appear fun and funny by association．

When it comes to in﹣person humor，effort counts a lot．When people see you trying to be funny，it frees them to try it themselves．So even if your own efforts at humor fall short，you might be freeing the long kept humor in others．People need permission to be funny in social settings because there's always a risk that comes with humor．For in﹣person humor，quality isn't as important as you might think．Your attitude and effort count a lot．

Some people﹣and I was one of them﹣believe that humorous complaints about the little problems of life make humor，and sometimes that is the case．The problem comes when you start doing too much complaint﹣based humor．One funny observation about problem in your life can be funny，but five is just complaining，no matter how smart you think you are．Funny complaints can wear people out．

Self﹣deprecating（自嘲式） humor is usually the safest type，but here again you don't want to overshoot the target．One self﹣deprecating comment is a generous and even confident form of humor．You have to be at least a bit self﹣assured to laugh at yourself in front of others．But if you do it too often，you can transform in the eyes of others from a confident joker to a Chihuahua dog．

Humo
Benefits of humor	●Humor is form of （1） 　　．Humor can improve one's （2） 　　and personality． ●Humor can make one （3） 　　in his work，study，and life． ●Humor has a positive（4） 　　effect when we are in difficulties．
（5） 　　to follow	●（6） 　　others for a conversation of fun is as good as telling a joke yourself when showing your sense of humor． ●Quality counts （7） 　　than attitude and effort﹣even a stupid joke can （8） 　　others of risk and embarrassment．
Traps to （9）	●One humorous complaint makes funny person．But too many complaints will （10） 　　your audience． ●Self﹣deprecating comments show one's assurance．But too much deprecation will make a Chihuahua dog．

Festivals and celebrations of all kinds     (hold) everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather,       (plant) in spring and harvest in autumn. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months.
Today's festivals have many   _ (original), some religious , some seasonal, and some for special people or events. Some festivals are held to honor the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For example, the Japanese festival Obon is honored in _  (memorize) of their ancestors. People then should go to clean graves, light lamps and play music  _   they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico, people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November.   _ this important feast day, people eat food in  __ shape of skulls and cakes with "bones" on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The Western holiday Halloween also had    origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people. It is now a children's festival, __   they can dress up and go to their neighbors' homes to ask for sweets. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honors the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. India has a national festival on October 2 to honor Mohandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India's   _（depend) from Britain.

Scientists have discovered that(stay) in the cold could help us lose weight． Researchers at the University of California found that exposure to the cold increases levels of a protein that helps form brown fat--the type of fat that produces heat and keeps us warm． Brown fat burns energy,helps us lose weight． White fat stores extra energy, which results weight gain． The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant,  (comfort) temperatures, our body’s need for brown fat has decreased． They found that: “Outdoor workers in northern Finland who(expose) to cold temperature havesignificant amount of brown fat when(compare) to same-aged indoor workers.” The research was conducted on two different control groups of mice．group was injected with the protein that helps create brown fat． This group later gained 30% less weight after both groups were fed high-fat diets． The researchers say this could be good news in the fight against obesity． People who are obese have(low) levels of brown fat than thinner people． Head researcher Hei Sook Sul said, “This protein could become an important target for research into the treatment and prevention of obesity and obesity-related diseases.” She added, “If you can somehow increase levels of this protein, you could (possible) lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food.”
