W:Excuse me,I’m doing research on bus service.Could I get you to answer a few questions? It won’t take long.

M:OK.I like to help.

W:Thanks.How often do you take a bus? Every day? Less than once a week? Or somewhere in between?

M:I go to school by bus.So it’s usually twice daily,Line Four.

W:I see.Could you rate its service? If One is poor,Two is fair,and Three is good,which number would you choose?

M:I would say Two.The drivers are nice.The buses are clean and the seats are comfortable,but it’s sometimes unreliable.There should be a bus every ten minutes.But yesterday morning I waited almost twenty minutes before the bus came and was almost late for school.

W:Oh,that’s too bad.Do you have some suggestions for the bus company?

M:Try to have the buses arrive on time,of course,and um… there can be a map on the bus.You know some passengers cannot use the guidebook very well.

W:Thank you very much for your help.

M:You are welcome.

　　The annual Water-Splashing Festival of the Dai ethnic minority falls during the New Year period of the Dai Calendar.It is the most important festival observed by the Dai ethnic people.

The festival lasts for three days.The first two days’ activities are concentrated on the banks of the Lancang River.A grand celebration marks the beginning of the festival.An outdoor market is set up where locals go for New Year shopping.Artists create sand carvings on open space close to the market.A dragon boat race is held on the Lancang River to ring out the old year in the afternoon.At night,the banks of the river are colorfully lit,and locals float river lanterns on the river.

Water is regarded by the Dai as a symbol of goodwill among people.Therefore,splashing a fellow human being with water during the festival is an expression of the desire for good luck and prosperity to that person.
