Now that the Spring Festival is over, I only have school to look forward to．It’s 1 funny, I find myself looking forward more and more to schml．
As usual 2 can get little work 3 during the winter vacation．For one thing, the Spring Festival is always a big distraction(吸引心神而令人快乐之事)，and for days before and after 4 can get any work done．It’s all right if you really have a nice time, as I used to．But now I find myself 5 it less and less．I 6 enjoying fireworks and firecrackers years ago．The firecrackers especially get on my nerve．I really think we should stop making them, as everry year many children have their eys hurt or even 7 ．Even worse sometimes fires 8 out and whole buildings get 9 down．Still I suppose we’ll continue to make them as 10 as there is a market for them．
And the 11 !People spend days buying．The result－too much and too rich which does nobody any good：chicken, duck, fish, meat and so on．What’s 12 they become 13 too．Too much of a good thing, as we say, and this visiting business too．It’s all right for a few really good friends to 14 together and chat over some tea or drinks．But mere acquaintance(熟人)and the usually not too neighbourly neighbours dropping 15 to say hello, but I find them a pain in the neck(讨厌的家伙)．Usually there is nothing to talk about 16 some meaningless words．
Oh yes, I did 17 myself skating on the nearby lake 18 a few times．The ice is not too good now and getting very 19 ．I stopped going before the Spring Festival．But there are people who are 20 too reckless(考虑后果的)or too ignorant or both, and we hear about people falling through thin ice every year．
