Three weeks before the May Day holiday, Tong Zhuo, a 24-year-old puter engineer in Nanjing, started getting busy. He was trying to get in touch with friends on MSN to arrange a trip to the annual Midi Music Festival in Beijing during the holiday.
Although Tong failed in his job-hunt, he felt less frustrated after visiting the festival at the invitation of a friend. It was the first time that I saw so many crazy people gathered together. When the music reached a climax, people kept yelling, jumping and bumping each other. You felt excited even if you weren't as high as they were, recalled Tong.
Midi, which is held May 1-4, started in 1999 and has grown into China's largest outdoor music festival. The festival is named after Beijing's Midi Music School, which started the event. This year's festival will have 84 bands, 22 of them foreign. It will be held in Haidian Park, northwest Beijing.
Outdoor music festivals have been around for decades in the West. They often stand for a kind of different belief. The Woodstock Festival in the US in 1969 is an example. It took place while the US was involved in the Vietnam war and was used to express young people’s love of peace.
China's Midi has bee a good place for young people as well. The biggest attraction of Midi is that it is an event for all young people, whether they know rock or not. They can e and have fun together, says Li Wei, a general manager of Beijing Midi Performance Company, the festival organizer.“ Besides，the open environment of an outdoor festival attracts young people. Without the restrictions of seats and walls, people are more likely to relax themselves. There's often more interaction between the audience and performers.”

解析：
【小题1】主旨大意题。 本文由Tong Zhuo参加北京Midi 音乐节谈起，紧接着介绍了的一些基本情况和以及它的受青年人欢迎的原因， 故A项为正确答案。
【小题2】细节理解题。由第一段 “He was trying to get in touch with friends on MSN to arrange a trip to the annual Midi Music Festival in Beijing during the holiday.”可知答案为B。
【小题3】正误判断题。由文中第五段 “The biggest attraction of Midi is that it is an event for all young people, whether they know rock or not.”可以判断D项表述有误，符合题意。根据第一段最后一句中的 “the annual（每年的）Midi Music Festival” 可知A项正确；B、C两项可以分别从第二段和第三段中找到依据。
【小题4】归纳概括题。由最后一段我们可以归纳出A、B、C三项均是Midi Music受青年人喜欢的原因。文章中谈到了Midi Music在西方国家也受青年人的青睐，但不能作为中国青年人喜欢Midi Music的原因。故答案为D。
【小题5】推理判断题。我们由第四段可以推出，作者提及The Woodstock Festival，是为了说明青年人可以通过这个节日表达自己的对社会和国家的不同看法。
