Moe and Davis were inspired and promised that the following year would be _(3)_ better. They were right on the money, and in 1996, the turnout was much larger. Every year since, Spring Scream has gotten bigger and better, and the music festival is one of the reasons that Kenting has turned into a _(4)_ tourist destination.
Now, Spring Scream is a five-day festival with six stages and at least 200 bands and DJs. While some of the music is _(5)_, the main reason people attend is the chilled-out vibe.

 | 大家一起吶喊吧！
自 1995 年起，每年 4 月韋德•戴維斯和吉米•摩爾都會舉辦『春吶音樂祭』。
春吶剛開始時是源起於幾個樂團在海邊即興表演的方式。但過去幾年來，春吶音樂祭已演變成了一種現象。18 年前，韋德•戴維斯和吉米•摩爾在清明假期的週末聚集了他們的朋友在臺灣南端一個曾經很純樸的衝浪小鎮──墾丁海灘邊搭起了一個臨時的舞臺。當時風很強，大約只有 50 多位喝酒狂歡的人在現場，但這對那些第一次參加春吶的人來說是一次不錯的體驗。摩爾和戴維斯受到這次的鼓舞，並承諾隔年會將它辦得更好。他們的話一點也沒錯，1996 年出席春吶的人數多了不少。從那一年之後，每年的春吶就辦得更有聲有色，而這個音樂祭也是讓墾丁變成一處熱鬧的觀光景點的原因之一。
春吶目前是一個為期 5 天並有 6 個舞臺的音樂祭，5 天中至少有 2 百個樂團及 DJ 會參加春吶。雖然裡面有些音樂很棒，但人們參加春吶的主因就是想在那種氣氛裡放鬆一下。具有創意的小販販售手工的商品，而數千名在露營區的觀眾營造出友善的交流。舞臺在午夜時分就會斷電，但一些音樂人通宵即興打鼓及電音表演，這種情形也都很常見。
雖然春吶沒有像亞洲音樂節中的日本富士搖滾祭那麼大，但它仍吸引了許多國際嘉賓來參加。你何不自己去看看春吶呢？它非常的有趣，也許你最後可能每年都會來喔。 答案：1. C 2. D 3. B 4. A 5. A 6. B 7. B | | | |  |  | 2013春季英語學習展！每天都要IVY英文！！
