As the government encourages the renaissance (复兴) of traditional culture, Hanfu is getting more and more popular with the teenagers. Every year, we can enjoy different Hanfu shows around the cities. And now quite a few Hanfu clubs have been set up in universities. Members usually wear Hanfu at their graduation ceremonies (典礼) or during holidays. Some even wear Hanfu on regular days, too. And these fans created a special day—China Hanfu Day to celebrate traditional Chinese clothing. It falls on the third day of the third month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历) .
In modern China, the Hanfu lovers are from history fans, cartoon fans to clothes fans.
“Clothes are the basic part of culture, so both traditional clothes and modern clothes play the same role in culture, ” said Zhang Jun, a famous reporter. “If the people and the country do not even understand our traditional clothes or don't wear them, how can we talk about other important parts of our culture ”

五、回答问题(共4小题, 每小题2分; 共8分)
Last week, City Daily did a survey about “How do Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival ” and “How do Americans celebrate Christmas ”. About 500 Chinese people and 300 Americans took part in the online survey. Here are the results.
Such a survey can be naturally connected with the importance of the Spring Festival for Chinese people, but what results in these differences To my understanding, at least two reasons can explain this result. For one thing, Chinese people have a strong sense(意识) of the family, which enables many people to celebrate the Spring Festival together with family members or relatives.
For another, compared with the people before, now people are richer, and they have more freedom(自由) during the vacation. So, many people choose to celebrate this holiday by travelling. As for Americans, they prefer travelling. In fact, Americans like travelling on vacations, not only Christmas. Americans like exercising. There are no parks with fitness equipment (健身器材) in the US. So, they spend money going to the gym.
