You take a step, then another, and soon you have no idea which way leads out! This is a corn maze, a giant puzzle cut right into a farm. On a crisp fall day, you can hear leaves crunching and smell warm apple cider while you look for the path home.  \nFinding your way out is only part of the fun, because a corn maze starts long before you ever step inside. First, a farmer or a maze designer draws a  \nshape on a computer, like a smiling pumpkin, a spider, or even a picture of a barn. Then, when the corn is still short in early summer, workers use GPS, the same kind of map tool a car uses, to mark the design in the field. Because the cutting happens while the corn is tiny, the paths grow into tall green hallways by autumn.  \nThose tall green hallways are just one stop at a fall harvest festival, where farms open their gates to visitors in October. You might climb aboard a hayride, a wagon full of straw pulled slowly around the farm, or wander through a pumpkin patch picking the perfect orange pumpkin. Long ago, people gathered like this to celebrate bringing in the crops after months of hard work. Today, families come mostly to play, snack, and enjoy the cool weather together.  \nCelebrating the harvest is something people do all over the world, not just on American farms. In Ghana, there is a harvest festival called Homowo, and in China, families share round mooncakes during the MidAutumn Festival. Each celebration has its own special foods and traditions, but they all say thank you for the food the land gives. So the next time you get lost in a corn maze, remember you are standing inside a picture someone drew on a computer months before!  \nHarvest Festivals and Corn Mazes  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is a corn maze?\u003Cbr>A.
