For (ex 1b). put Ss in pairs. Ask Ss to read the question first, then give them (1) minute to scan the text and search for answers. Tell Ss that scanning is used to search for specific information in the text. ( names, dates, ..). Check answers as a whole class

For ( ex 2a/b), Put Ss in groups. Ask them to read the sentences. Ask them to predict the meaning of the words in bold, then decide which festival these customs are associated with. Give them (5) mins to read the text again and check their answers. Elicit the answers as a whole class.

For (ex 3), Put Ss in pairs. Tell Ss that guessing meaning from context will help them increase reading speed and that is not always necessary to be 100 present correct.
