V. Read the passage and answer the questions below. ( 1 ®)

Christmas is the biggest festival of the year in most of Britain. Celebrations start on 24 December, Christmas Eve.

It is a family celebration and many of customs centre on children. When they go to bed on Christmas Eve,

children hang up a pillow case ( tuÝ) or a sack ( bao t¶i ) for their presents. When the children are asleep, Santa

Claus climbs down the chimney and puts presents in the sacks that children have left out. On Christmas morning,

some families go to the church. The traditional Christmas dinner consists of roast turkey and Christmas pudding–

a dark, rich mixture of flour, fruit, sugar, nuts and brandy ( r îu m¹nh). December 26, which is called Boxing Day, is

also a holiday. On Boxing Day, most people go out to see friends, watch sport events, go to the theater to see a

pantomine ( kÞch c©m) or go shopping.
