【解析】短文描述了世界各地人们过新年的情景。虽然庆祝的时间不定相同、方式各异，但它是家庭团圆的节日，是辞旧迎新之时，也是为新的一年做计划的时候。
1.根据句意，并不是所有国家用同种方式庆祝新的一年，有些国家新年还不在同一日期开始。 连词and连接两个并列句，后句中所缺的词要与前一句中的the same 相呼应。
2.句意是：人们在等待新年的时候，还做着其他的事情。这是一个时间状语从句，
后面动词是延续性的，用连词while。
3.迎接新年时，人们在最后几秒钟倒着数数，count down from 10 to 1。
4.在同一秒时间，众人齐呼，喊声应该很大，而且欢快，loudly最佳。
5.根据句意，好天气的时候，一家人出门做的最可能是walk。go out for a walk意思是“去散步”。
6.此处意思是：把下决心的清单写下来。write down意思是“写下来、记下来”。
7.句中有than，是比较级，用hard的比较级形式。
8.此句的主语是they，后面的形容词性物主代词应该用their，与之匹配。
9.此处是向家人和朋友作出承诺。通过上下文可知，是怎样追随所下的决心。
10.本句运用了此结构，“It is a time (for) sb to do sth”，其中for sb前置。
“What?” Mom asked.
“Let’s run through the rain!”
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it slows down a bit,” Mom replied.
The child waited about another minute and repeated, “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she pulled her mom’s arm.
“This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer(癌症), you said, we can get through anything!”
The crowd(人群) became silent. Nothing could be heard but the rain. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom thought for a moment about what she would say.
“Honey, you are right. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we’ll just need to get a wash,” Mom said.
Then off they ran. People all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and through the puddles(水坑).
They held their shopping bags over their heads. They got wet through. But they were followed by a few who laughed like children all the way to their cars.
People can take away your money and health. But no one can ever take away your memories….So don’t forget to make time to make memories every day.
