     Everyone has his own birthday. People in different countries celebrate(庆祝) their birthdays  in 
different ways. Here are four people from different countries. They will tell us how they celebrate their
birthdays in their countries.
     Sandy Morrison comes from Madrid(马德里). He says happily, " My twenty-first birthday is on a
Saturday, and I'm going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they are going to
pull(拉, 扯) on my ear twenty-one times, once for each year. It is an old custom(风俗). Some people
pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional."
     Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be sixty tomorrow. In Japan, the sixtieth
birthday is called Kanreki-it's the beginning of a new life. The colour red is for a new life, so they
always, give something red for a sixtieth birthday. Mrs. Sato says, " What am I going to give my
husband. I can't say. It's a surprise(惊喜). "
     Li Xiaomei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, " Tomorrow is my sixteenth  birthday. It's a
special birthday. So we're going to have a family party. I'm probably going to get some money in lucky
envelopes(信封) from my relatives. My mother is going to cook noodles noodles are for a long life."
     Phillip  Evans, from Paris, smiles to us, " I'm going to be thirty next week, so I'm going to invite three
very good friends out to dinner. In France, when you have birthday, you often invite people out. In some
