Question

【题目】 Qingming, meaning clear and bright, is the most important festival in spring. It is also named Tomb Sweeping Festival. It comes in early of the fourth month of a year. On that day, people visit tombs( 墓 ) to honor the dead. They always spend some time cleaning the tomb area. They usually plant some trees near the tombs and decorate them with fresh flowers. But it’s not just a day honoring the dead. It is also a good time to celebrate the coming of spring.

With the coming of spring, nature wakes up, dressing the world in green. Birds begin to build houses for their babies. In forests and fields, many animals have babies at this time of the year. Days begin to get longer and weather get warmer. In short, everything is new, clean and fresh. So Qingming is also a happy time for people to do sports outdoors, such as flying kites, swimming and hiking. This is why this festival has been very popular for thousands of years.
