Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some ways. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways.

Chinese New Year is an important traditional Chinese holiday. It is also traditional for every family to clean the house, in order to sweep away bad luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red color paper-cutting. Other activities include lighting firecrackers（鞭炮） and giving money in red paper envelopes.

In western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st or January 1st. People may go to parties and they may drink champagne（香槟）at midnight. During the first minute of the New Year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. It is also a common western custom to make a New Year’s promise called a resolution. New Year’s resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the New Year.

Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the New Year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the coming new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck in the New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!

Are you interested in mysteries?

In Northern Scotland there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness(尼斯湖).

More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK. People say a big monster lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.

The Loch Ness Monster is a famous mystery .The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in the middle of the lake. Since then, a number of people have said that they have seen a monster in Loch Ness. Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax (骗局) . During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.

There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesn’t live. One thing is true about Loch Ness：there are a lot of tourists there.

Children’s lives have changed a lot in the past few years. But do they have a happier childhood than we did?

1. I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them. We used to play board games in the living room, spend days in the street with other children, race up and down on our bikes, or explore the nearby woods.2. They only appeared during meals.

These days, at least in the UK, the nature of childhood has changed. Firstly, families are smaller. It is common for both parents to work outside. 3. Another change is that children spend most of their free time at home, inside. Parents worry too much about some possible dangers, so they don’t want their children to play outside by themselves.

Finally, the kinds of toys children have and the ways they play are completely different. 4. The funny thing is that so many ways of playing games are called “ interactive (互动的)”. The fact that you can play electronic games by yourself can increase the feeling of loneliness.

5. I can’t give an answer for sure, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.

Teach your children to pay attention to traffic lights when you cross the road together with them. This helps them understand when it’s safe to cross. Make sure that you walk between your children and traffic, and hold their hands all the time.

When your children are a little older, you can start to tell them the importance of traffic knowledge. Let them start to understand the reasons why they need to be so careful. Talk with them about road signs and traffic rules.

Ask your children to play in a safe place. Never let them ride bikes on the road without an adult present at rush hours.

The most important thing you can do is to keep your children from getting hurt, so parents encourage them to follow traffic rules. After knowing about traffic rules, they’ll volunteer to obey them. In this way, they’ll be careful enough to keep themselves away from danger.
