請依下文回答第 46 題至 50 題：     The festival of San Fermin, or the Running of the Bulls as it is more commonly known outside Spain, is heldin honor of Saint Fermin in Pamplona in Spain every year from 6th to 14th July. It is also traditionally held inother places such as towns and villages across Spain and Portugal, some cities in Mexico, and southern Franceduring the summer.   The origin of the run can be traced back to the 14th century in northeastern Spain, where bull breeders neededto transport their bulls from the fields outside the city to the bullring, where they would be killed. To speed up thetransporting process, workers would hurry the cattle using tactics of fear and excitement. Later this practiceturned into a competition, as young adults would attempt to race in front of the bulls. It seemed that themodern-day celebration has evolved from this as well as individual commercial and bullfighting fiestas.    The Pamplona bull run is the highest-profile event of the San Fermin festival. The first bull running is on 7thJuly, followed by one on each of the following mornings of the festival, beginning every day at 8 a.m. sharp. It allstarts with a rocket fired to confirm that the gate of the bullring has been opened. After runners pray to SanFermin, a second rocket announces that the bulls, typically six, have left. The bulls and the runners then proceedalong the route. A third rocket is set off once all the bulls have entered the bullring. When the bulls are in thebullpen, the final rocket ends the run.    The vast number of participants nowadays adds to the already considerable danger of running alongside wildbulls weighing in the region of 700 kg each. Although plenty security and first-aid personnel are on hand, there isreally little they can do to prevent people from injury, or even death, during the running of the bulls.

(A) The schedule and proceeding of the bull run.
(B) The number of the bulls running in the event.
(C) The number and function of the rockets fired.
