The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.
In China, on a child’s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child will choose later in life.
For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.
In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.
Eighteen is the traditional ‘coming of age’— the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote, join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.
In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
(注意：每空不超过3个单词。)
This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest of the world.
Here is a 2-way student exchange in action .Fred,19, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived .But after 2 months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.
Family life ,too, was different. The father’s word was the law. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually .Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.
“Back home ,you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time .In Germany, you walk but you soon learn to like it .”
At the same time, in America, Mike ,a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. “I suppose I should criticize American schools” he says , “It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better than in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
65 between American school life and German school life 
| Items(项目) | American students | German students |
| Class rules | They don’t have to stand up | They have to 66 and show respect to their teacher |
| Family life | They do their own things individually. | They have to listen to their 67 |
| 68 | They have six which are very easy to learn | They have 14 which are much more difficult |
| Going out | They can drive cars | They have to walk all the way |
| School activities | They have 69 | They have to study hard all the time |
