【题目】阅读下面的材料,根据材料内容回答问题。

Chinese people start to prepare for the Spring Festival more than 20 days ahead. The 12th lunar month in Chinese is called la yue, so the eighth day of this lunar month is la yue chu ba, or laba. The day is also known as the Laba Rice Porridge Festival. The Laba this year falls on Jan. 24. Two of the customs on Laba are remembering the ancestors and eating Laba rice porridge.

Remember the ancestors: At the end of the year, working people get more free time to prepare for the sacrifice (供奉) to the ancestors. The reason the 12th lunar month is called La Yue has a lot to do with the custom of sacrifice. First, the worship (崇敬) of ancestors, called “” in Chinese, and the sacrifice for the gods, called “” both often took place in the 12th month, which led to the traditional name of the month: la yue. Second, winter is the relaxed season for farmers so they have time to find things to bum in the sacrifice.

Laba rice porridge: There are several stories about the start of porridge eating on Laba: Some say it is of Buddhist origin (佛教) ; some say the porridge, made of red beans, can keep children away from evil things; others say the porridge is in memory of a poor couple. The custom of porridge eating has been well-known throughout history. The most wonderful porridge was made in northern China, especially the capital of our country. The main ingredients of the Laba porridge are rice and sticky rice. People also add sugar, red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts and other different kinds of materials to make the porridge special.

1What do people usually do on Laba according to the passage?

2The eighth lunar month in Chinese isn't called la yue, is it?

3When is the Laba this year?

4What is called "" in Chinese?

5Where is the best porridge made?
