17、阅读理解 The Dragon Boat Festival(端午节) is one of the most important(最

重要的) festivals in China. It is a day to memorize Qu Yuan, who threw himlf

into the Miluo River and died(死) over 2,000 years ago. An old story has it that

in order to save Qu Yuan, people beat drums to drive fish away, and throw rice

dumplings (zongzi) into the river to keep the fish from eating his body. For
