Many traditinal Chinese festivals remind us f the special fds. As zngzi are t Dragn Bat Festival and mncakes are t Mid-Autumn Festival, yuanxia—sweet dumplings made f sticky rice flur---are special t Lantern Festival.
Lantern Festival usually falls n the 15th f the first lunar mnth, marking the end f the Spring Festival celebratins. Apart frm the rund-shaped yuanxia, anther belved part f the celebratin is the lanterns, which cme in almst every pssible size and shape.
“Guessing lantern riddles(谜语)” is an essential(必不可少的) part f the festival. Lantern wners write riddles n a piece f paper and pst them n the lanterns. If visitrs have answers t the riddles, they can pull the paper ut and g t the lantern wners t check their answers. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged(出现) during peple's enjyment f lanterns in the Sng Dynasty(960–1279). As riddle guessing was interesting and full f wisdm, it became ppular amng all scial strata(阶层).
Lantern Festival was at its peak in the Tang and Sng dynasties. It was a day f great fun at the time. In the evening, peple went int the streets with all kinds f lanterns, watching lin r dragn dances, eating yuanxia and setting ff firecrackers.
The festival als prvided a chance fr unmarried yung girls t g ut freely in search f their true lve, since they weren't nrmally allwed t d s. The famus pet Ouyang Xiu recrded this rmantic traditin with the well-knwn line:“Atp the willw tree hangs the mn;my date cmes in the evening sn.”

When I first started using Chinese websites I was a bit cnfused(疑惑的) by their design. Ppular sites like Taba and Jingdng are very “busy”---they are cvered with dzens f links and flashing banners( 横幅广告). They ften include a wide variety f bright clrs as well, cntrasting(形成对比) with the simple clrs f mst Western websites.
Why are Chinese sites designed this way? Sme say that Chinese web design hasn't caught up with the standards f Western web design practices. But I dn’t think this quite explains it. Sme Chinese sites such as Baidu, are quite clean-lking. Yu may find the real reasns in the fllwing.
A mre cnvincing(令人信服的) thery has t d with the Chinese language. There are n capital letters r spaces in Chinese writing--freigners wh are used t seeing these things might think that Chinese text lks very crwded.
Anther thing that makes Chinese websites lk s busy is the large number f links. Sme sites might have hundreds f links n their frnt page.
In additin, there is als a language-related explanatin t the phenmenn(现象). It is difficult t type Chinese characters n a Rman alphabet-based keybard. Yu have t type ut each character using pinyin, which can be incnvenient. S it's easier t just click the link yu want instead f typing what yu're lking fr. Or perhaps it culd just be that smetimes peple prefer flashy, busy websites. Brwsing(浏览) Jingdng is like stepping int a nisy, brightly-lit street market. In this way, Chinese Internet users might feel right at hme when using these sites.
9. What's the biggest feature f Chinese websites?
A. They are nt well-designed.
B. Mst f them lk beautiful.
C. It's cnvenient fr freigners t use them.

A. the style f Chinese web design
B. the standards f web design
C. the usage f web design practices
D. the requirements fr web design
11. Accrding t the writer, why are Chinese sites designed this way?
A. Because they haven't caught up with Western standards.
B. Because they are based n the use f the Rman alphabet.
C. T make them easier t use fr Chinese speakers.
D. T create a nisy nline envirnment similar t street market.
12. The writer mainly wants t tell us .
