You can deal with winter in two ways：Escape it or embrace it.Watching people dive into snow—in nothing but bathing suits and boots—I'm guessing these people choose to do the latter.
The seasonal madness is part of the Quebec Winter Carnival，now in its 62nd year，said to be the world's largest winter festival.About a half-million people each year come to Quebec City to delight in frigid (寒冷的) fashion.
“We embrace winter，”said Paule Bergeron of Quebec City Tourism.“It's time to play.”The carnival runs from Jan.29 to Feb.14，with dozens of events.I went last year for a few frigid days，staying at the Hilton Quebec，in the thick of the downtown action.Families are a big part of the carnival.What attract kids are things like ice-fishing at a man-made pond stocked with fish，where if you catch something，you can pay to have it smoked and eat it，or donate it to a food bank.
It's a good chance to experience the culture of this European-feeling city，and nowhere is more evident than in Bonhomme，the carnival's goodwill ambassador，a living avatar (化身) in the form of a giant snowman with a human inside gliding (滑行) around the festivities.
There are two night parades at the carnival.I attended the second one last year，the night before the carnival's close.The streets were lined with thousands of people in a gentle snow and bitter cold，watching local dancers and school groups glide by.In the end，Bonhomme's float came into view，and kids in the crowd went crazy.As the parade ended，thousands followed behind it，becoming part of the Quebec Winter Carnival's magic and madness.And with a cup of milk in my hand，I realized that for once，not only did I not mind winter，I embraced it.
【语篇解读】 本文为说明文，题材为社会文化类。作者亲历了魁北克冬季狂欢节的盛况，感受了人们冬天的激情和活力。

Ⅱ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Children in kindergartens have a lot of chances to interact(互动)with other children at their age.If your child is not in it，it can be fun and helpful to create chances to play with others.Here are some things you can do to support your child's early partner relationship.
Schedule regular playmates.
Start when your child is around one year of age，set aside a few times a week for playtime with partners. 16 Even so，you still might want to give your baby a chance to observe and interact with children who are at the same developmental level.
Join a playgroup.
17 This can be a great way for your child to interact with his/her partners，and learn to feel comfortable in a new setting.As an added benefit，while your child plays，you can talk with other parents who have children the same age as your own.
18 You can organize a playground in your own home.It may involve just one other child，or as many as three or four. 19 Remember：safety first.
Offer guidance when needed.
If you see a child playing in a way that might hurt another，certainly you need to help him/her find a safer way to have fun. 20 But remember that some children need to watch for a while before they feel comfortable joining in－encourage everyone to join the fun，but don't push.
A．Make your home safe for play.
B．Make sure there is an open classroom you can use.
