Twentyeight years later,he heard the news that his country was occupied by Qin. 2 It is said that the local people,who admired him,raced out in their boats to save him. 3 When his body could not be found,they dropped rice into the river. 4 This is said to be the origin of zongzi- The festival was long marked as a festival culturally in China and is a public holiday in Hong Kong,Taiwan and Macau. 5 Beginning in 2005,the government began to plan for the recognition of three traditional holidays,including Duanwu. Since 2008,Duanwu has been celebrated not only as a festival but also a public holiday.

本文简要介绍了端午节,讲述了屈原的故事及粽子的来源,还有端午节成为法定节假日的过程。

5. C考查转折关系。
E为干扰项,但其并没涉及公共假日的话题,而这段的中心就在于中国政府把端午节从一个民间文化节日定义为国家公共假日。
