The culinary delights, namely beer, were much more popular than the wedding ceremony and horse

20、races. Since then, the Munich beer festival has been repeated on an almost annual basis. Only major catastrophes like war or epidemic(瘟疫 ) outbreaks can stop Munichs inhabitants from gathering at the green expanse, i.e. the festivals location.

27、“ is only popular in Germany. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Here are some situations where renting makes more sense than buying. 1.Job uncertainty. If you are a professional working with a company that can,

28、 or does, transfer you to different cities in short periods of time, then it may not make sense to buy. Renting allows you the flexibility of moving at the drop of a hat.
