Three students are talking about the New Year tradition of their own country.
A. Christina from Spain
On the last day of the year, the 31st of December,people wait till l2 pm. Everybody must have l2 grapes to eat at midnight. At each sound of the clock, we must eat a grape. But we can’t ever finish eating the grapes on time! Usually when people still have some grapes in their mouths, they look at each other and start to laugh. This tradition started in Spain long ago. One year, when there were a lot of grapes, the king of Spain decided to give grapes to everybody to eat on New Year’s Eve.
B. Cordon from Britain
On New Year’s Day in Britain, people have parties. At l2 o’clock, the music stops, and we listen to the radio. On the radio we hear Big Ben, the famous clock in London. Then everybody sings a song about friendship and kisses their friends. We say “Happy New Year” to each other. It’s lucky if a tall man with dark hair is the first person to come to the house in the New Year. So I go and visit as many friends as I can. They all give me a drink.
C. Angela from Brazil
In all cities in Brazil, we have a big party on New Year’s Eve, especially in Rio de Janeiro. People in this city go to the beaches to watch fireworks. We put flowers in the sea and think about things we want for ourselves or others. We usually wear white clothes for good luck during the New Year.

Different people have different ideas about time. People in the USA think that it is important to know the time. In cities in America, there are clocks in stations, factories and other buildings. Radio tells the correct time during the day. Most Americans also have watches with them wherever they go. They want to do certain things at certain time.They don’t like to be late.
But time is not so important to everybody in the world. When you visit a country in South America, you will find that people there don’t like to rush. If you had an appointment with somebody, he could probably be late, because he may not want to arrive on time.
In South America, even the radio program may not begin on time. The men on the radio may not think it is important to tell the exact time. People in South America think that clocks or watches are just machines. They think that you let a clock or a watch control your life if you do everything on time.

IX. 任务型阅读 (共5小题,每小题2分,计10分)
阅读下面短文,按要求回答76—80题。
Eating habits are different in different countries. The Chinese have a saying, “Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner.” Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different. Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a big dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noises of the outside world. If someone is talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant will look at him or her angrily. If some people are talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet.

Hi,Liu Ying,
How is everything with you?I know you are going to study in Britain soon. I know you will live with the British people, so let me tell you what I read from a newspaper about British meals. The paper says they like to eat a good breakfast with fried eggs, bread, cakes, tomatoes, or coffee. But they often have a quick lunch of only a sandwich and coffee. Their dinner is usually served from 6 to 8 o’clock in the evening at which they eat beef or fish with vegetables. They usually have a rich meal on weekends with family members and eat lots of food such as chicken, beef, pork and vegetables.
I hope you will enjoy your food during your staying there.
Yours,
Li Hua
