Most New Year’s parties are usually noisy. People shout and sing. And often, guests blow on small noisemakers when the new year arrives at midnight. This tradition of noise making is believed to start centuries ago. People thought that loud sounds would drive away the bad spirits of the old year.
The biggest, noisiest New Year’s party in the US takes place in Times Square in New York. Thousands of people gather(聚集) there. Some of them ring bells and set fireworks. Others blow whistles of car horns(喇叭). And at twelve o’clock, they begin to cheer as an electric sign in the shape of a red apple lights up on top of a tall building.
The Times Square celebration includes another well-known American tradition. Since 1929, the band of musician Guy Lombardo has given a concert on New Year’s Eve. Guy Lombardo died in 1977. But, Bill Lombardo, has kept the tradition alive with a band concert at a New York city hotel. When the crowds in Times Square start cheering the arrival of the new year, television cameras show the band playing the song Auld Lang Syne.

I’m glad it’s Sunday again. I can stay in bed 36 I like, drinking tea and 37 those thick newspapers that are brought 38 the newsboy through the letterbox at 8:30. In this way, I can catch up with all the 39 I haven’t got time to read during my work time.
When I 40 the papers, I then prepare my bath. The Sunday morning bath is 41 of the week. There’s no need to hurry because there’s no bus to 42 and my friends are told not to call me up before noon on Sundays, so there is no danger of 43 by the telephone.
44 spend the afternoon after lunch is always a bit of problem. In summer I can go to the park and sit in a chair 45 boys playing football, while in winter I sit in front of the fire and 46 when reading a book, sometimes I turn on the television and sleep through an old film.
Then there’s the 47 ahead of me. Perhaps I’ll call on some friends or go to the cinema 48 a new film I want to see or to town for a concert. Oh, there are 49 pleasant ways of passing Sunday evenings. The only sad thing is that Monday morning is getting 50 .

When I was 14, I decided to make some pocket money by mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in summer. I worked hard because that was my first part-time job. After working for one week, Mr Miller said that he had no money for me. Oh, dear! He wouldn’t pay for my work! That surprised me greatly. I argued with him, and then I went back home.
My parents told me not to complain about Mr Miller. He was in difficulties. Then my mother call up Mr Miller and they talked about something on the phone. A few days later, my mother asked me to return to Mr Miller’s garden, because he was too weak to look after it.
When I came back, Mr Miller said, “Sorry, I have no money, but I can do something for you.” He played CD for me. Hearing the beautiful music, I was so interested in it that I forgot the money and did the work with pleasure. At last, Mr Miller gave me a ticket to a concert.
After that, I became very interested in music. And now, I have been a popular musician. I should thank Mr Miller greatly.
