there

is

one

thing

certain

to

get

Brazilians

on

their

feet，it

is

the

Rio

Carnival.

Held

in

Rio

de

Janeiro，

the

country'sbiggest

city，

the

carnival

began

on

February

20

when

themayor

gave

key

of

the

city

to

Rei

Momo

—

the

Lord

ofMisrule.On

his

orders，

each

year

people

turn

the

city

into

aparadise

of

dance

and

music.

The

following

six

days

are

so

fullof

parades，

street

dancing，

fantastic

clothes

and

partyingthat

many

people

forget

about

eating

and

sleeping.“It

was

the

passion

of

the

carnival

that

attracted

me

toBrazil

and

made

me

settle

down

in

Rio，”

said

BobNadkarni，

a

British

man

who

has

lived

in

the

city

forseveral

years.For

many

Brazilians，

the

centrepiece

of

the

carnival

issamba，

a

typical

Brazilian

dance.

Every

year，

tens

ofthousands of

visitors

and

locals

show

off

their

passion

andenergy

in

the

streets，

following

the

beat

of

the

Latin

music.The

climax(高潮)to

this

street

party

is

the

floatparade，

in

which

floats

decorated

with

tons

of

freshflowers

by

various

samba

schools

and

local

communitiesmove

through

the

city.

On

the

top

of

each

float

stands

thecandidate

for

the

Drum

Queen，

who

is

chosen

at

the

end

of

the

party.While

most

people

are

free

to

enjoy

the

celebrations，Rio's

police

officers

have

to

keep

a

clear

head.

Followingthe

murder

of

three

officers

in

a

gunfight

early

last

week，the

Brazilian

Government

has

tightened

security

in

Rio.The

carnival

and

the

street

fighting，

robbery

and

sexcrimes

that

accompany

it

is

very

difficult

to

police.Carnivals

began

in

ancient

Rome

as

a

celebration

atwhich

people

fed

wild

wolves，

in

honour

of

the

city'sfounder

who

was

said

to

have

been

raised

by

a

she

wolf.Brazil

gave

new

life

to

this

tradition

and

so，

despite

thetroubles，

the

carnival

will

remain

a

symbol

of

thecountry's

culture.1.Match
