As the Qingming Festival draws near, green cake is reappearing on shop shelves. This snack （小吃) , made of rice, black bean paste and barnyard grasses popular at this time of the year, though few are aware that it is a survivor of a forgotten festival the Cold Food Festival.
According to tradition, the Cold Food Festival starts one day before the Qingming Festival. It lasts for three days, during which people abstain from（禁止） making a fire and instead eat cold food prepared in advance.
Few places still observe the custom, but in Jiexiu of Shanxi province, where the Cold Food Festival is said to have originated, the custom lives on.
The story goes that during the Spring and Autumn period, Jie Zitui, a nobleman of the Jin State, followed his exiled (流放) lord（国王） Chong Er for more than 10 years. He once cut off flesh from his leg for the hungry Chong Er to eat.
When Chong Er came into power again, Jie took his mother with him to the Mianshan Mountain of Jiexiu and led a quiet life there. Chong Er sent his men to look for Jie and in order to persuade him out of the mountain, they set fire to it.
Unfortunately, Jie would not come out, and he and his mother were burned to death in the mountain. When Chong Er heard of this news, he felt very sad, and ordered that from then on no fire would be made on this day—the day before the Qingming Festival.
However, some scholars believe that the custom of eating cold food started long before the time of Jie, when Chinese people followed a custom called\firewood had to be put out, and replaced by new firewood to start a new year, or there would be bad luck. As a result, they prepared foods that did not need to be heated before eating, when the old fire was put out.
The scholars also hold the view that the story of Jie personified the custom with moral content. That's why it is accepted by more people.
In China, the Cold Food Festival became absorbed into the Qingming Festival. 54. The writer wrote the passage mainly to tell us ____. A. the special custom that is living on in Jiexiu B. the origin of the Cold Food Festival
C. the importance of the Cold Food Festival D. different names about the Cold Food Festival 55. We can infer from the passage that ____. A. Jie Zitui didn't care for fame and money
B. the Cold Food Festival was founded by Chong Er
C. people must have got good luck by replacing old firewood
