B. Choose the best answer(选择最恰当的答案)(每题2分,6题,共12分)
Holi, known as the Festival of Colours, is one of the most joyful folk celebrations in India. Each spring, streets across the country are filled with laughter, music, and clouds of brightly coloured powder. But where does this tradition come from, and what does it really mean to those who take part?
According to Hindu legend, Holi marks the victory of good over evil. The story is passed down through generations, and on this special day, social differences are set aside. Coloured powder and water are thrown freely among friends, family, and even strangers—no one is left untouched.
Today, Holi is no longer limited to India. Similar colour festivals are now held in dozens of countries, from the United States to Australia. People who have never visited India gather to throw coloured powder at one another. The original legend may not always be known to participants in these places, but the spirit of joy and human connection seems to travel just as well.
Researchers who study folk traditions point out that celebrations like Holi do more than just mark the seasons. When people come together and share an experience, a sense of belonging is built and social bonds are strengthened. Even people who have never met before find it easy to laugh and play side by side.
Of course, as Holi spreads around the world, questions are raised:can its deeper meaning survive so far from its roots? Some feel that without the legend and history,the festival loses something important. ▲, most scholars of folk customs agree that even adapted celebrations carry real value—they remind us that joy and human connection are worth celebrating,wherever we are.
