Ⅰ．阅读理解

(2023·福州模拟)It's easy to think festivals are just about drinking and dancing, but festivals are also representatives of what a certain way of life thinks, the way they express themselves．I've been to over 60 festivals in 22 different countries, and I still want to experience more．One of the main reasons I enjoy going to international festivals so much is the fact that they are a microcosm of what they represent．Festivals are an opportunity to see as much as possible in a weekend into worlds so different, or even familiar, of my own．

Festivals are a fascinating insight into a group of individuals with a common understanding and the world they are living in．This is also one of the reasons I enjoy international festivals．

I ticked off a huge bucket list festival in Lake of Stars Festival in Malawi a few years ago．I was unwell and not my usual party self, but, it gave me the opportunity instead to sit and listen to the local poets．Through their poetry they enlightened me to some of the issues of the day — calling out their “fat government”and covering everything from housing, to relationships, to the nominal (名义上的) opportunities．

The importance of celebrating festivals abroad isn't just to gather with your “tribe”．What I learned in a few poems at Lake of Stars Festival were fascinating insights into modern social issues and the Malawi of the present, which I would have had to dig deep to find out．And I probably wouldn't have bothered to, to be honest．

Even if only for a weekend, what I learned there from the poets and artists gave me a better understanding of what life was like in Malawi．

You never know what you're going to learn when you visit a new festival．That's all part of the fun and expectation．

Comedy makes current social issues fun, music makes them melodic (有旋律的), while poetry makes them considered and heartfelt．Festivals bring you them all．
