The running of the bulls is a nine-day traditional Spanish festival in honor of Saint Fermin in Pamplona. Every year, at midday on July 6th, the Mayor of Pamplona shoots a rocket. 【小题1】 The participants are usually dressed in white and wear red neckchiefs and belts. They open champagne(香槟酒) mostly used for sprinkling(撒) other people.
【小题2】 It starts every day at eight in the morning and the runners run, sometimes wildly, sometimes less. As a sign that the run has begun they shoot the first rocket.
