Glastonbury is the largest green-field music festival. It attracts celebrities（名人）and the world’s biggest bands to the mud of rural Britain every year after it was created in 1970. And don’t forget your tent and boots, for the festival takes place on a farm for 3 days and is infamous for rain!

After Stewart and Debbie Wilder lost their son, Cameron, in 2013, the last thing on their minds was decorating for the holiday season. “We haven’t put anything up in three years. It has all stayed boxed up,” said Debbie.
But in December 2016, the house was lit up for Christmas, with little lights cheerfully lining

the rood and eaves（屋檐）. It wasn’t the Wilders but a stranger Carson Zickgraf, the founder of CZ Enterprises LLC, who finally made the house shine. “I started crying,” Debbie says about seeing the lights for the first time. “It was really special.”
Zickgraf has been donating his light-stringing services to brighten the lives of families affected by losing their children, especially during the difficult holiday season since 2015 and has decorated the houses of more than two dozen families so far.
He started the project by chance. He was hanging lights on a home when the owner mentioned that some neighbors were having a hard time that holiday season because their son had recently died. Then he had an idea. “I sent my crew there to decorate that house too,” he says. The family was delighted. In fact, he had two friends who had died young, and he’d always wished he could ease the pain for their loved ones. Now, he’s found a way.
“There’s something special about Christmas lights. They warm the spirit.” Zickgraf knows his efforts can’t completely remove the pain from these families, but he can make the holidays a little cheerier. “I wish I had a bigger company so I could do more houses,” he says. 24. How was the Wilders affected by the loss of their son? A. They didn’t feel like decorating their house for Christmas. B. They were the last to put up some decorations at Christmas. C. They had no one to help decorate their house for Christmas. D. They had the belongings of their son boxed up at Christmas. 25. Why did Zickgraf donate the light-stringing service? A. To make more houses brighter. C. To relieve the victim family’s pain.
B. To expand his own business. D. To memorize his dead friends.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Zickgraf? A. Enthusiastic and optimistic. C. Ambitious and generous.
B. Courageous and smart. D. Considerate and helpful.
27. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Lights warming the spirit
C
More than 90 years have passed since Hollywood’s official film organization first suggested
5 / 15
B. A person brightening houses D. A business hanging lights
