1. (2017九上·杭州月考) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中选出最佳选项。

A

    "The festival atmosphere is not as strong as before. In the past, I looked forward to eating mooncakes with my family and watching the moon with them." Said Ma Lin, a woman in her 50s. She was talking about her experiences during Mid-Autumn Festival.

    Yang Lin, a professor of Folklore（民俗学）at Nankai University says the way people celebrate the festival has changed over the years.

    "In the past, it was terrible if you could not see your family at Mid-Autumn Festival. Nowadays, people may just make phone calls to their families, but they still know that Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunions. They can go home at any time if they want to because transportation is more convenient"

    We can find that business provides people with more ways of enjoying the holiday. People have more choices on how to spend the holiday. Take the mooncakes for example. There are many kinds to choose, and you can select mooncakes for your family based on everyone's taste.

    However, more work should be done. First, we should value the stories behind festivals and keep them for the future generation. Second, the guidance of the government is important. Now we have vacation days during traditional festivals, which help people notice the festivals.
