Down below, a huge bonfire crackles and roars, throwing orange light on the faces of people wrapped in scarves. Someone is roasting sausages, and a toffee-covered apple sticks to your fingers. This is Guy Fawkes Night, celebrated every year on November 5.  \nThat date is no accident, because it points back to one very dramatic night more than 400 years ago. In 1605, a group of plotters wanted to blow up the  \nHouses of Parliament in London while King James I was inside. They hid barrels of gunpowder in a cellar beneath the building. But the plot was discovered, and a man named Guy Fawkes was caught guarding the gunpowder before he could set it off.  \nBecause the king survived, the people of London lit bonfires that very night to celebrate their good luck. Soon this became a yearly tradition, and Parliament even passed a law making November 5 a day of thanks. Back then, families would build a fire and burn a stuffed figure called a\"guy,\" made to look like Guy Fawkes. Can you imagine sewing old clothes into a dummy just to toss it on a fire?  \nFrom those early fires grew the noisy, colorful celebration you see today. Now the effigies share the night with dazzling firework displays that light up whole cities. Children in some towns still carry their homemade \"guy\" around and ask passersby for \"a penny for the guy. \" People even recite an old rhyme that begins, \"Remember, remember, the fifth of November. \"  \nHere is something that might surprise you: this British holiday now shares the calendar with Halloween, which falls just five days earlier. Because the two celebrations are so close together, many families in Britain enjoy both, one after the other. Some people worry that costumes and candy are slowly pushing the bonfires aside. Still, every November 5, millions of people gather in the dark to watch the sky explode over a fire lit for a plot that failed.  \nGuy Fawkes Night  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the main idea of this passage?\u003Cbr>A.
