The tradition of birthday parties started in Europe a long time ago. It was feared that evil spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays. To protect them from harm, friends and family would come to stay with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes. Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to keep away from the evil spirits. This is how birthday parties began.

The following are some countries' birthday traditions:

Canada —Greasing(涂) the nose with butter. In Atlantic Canada, the birthday child's nose is greased for good luck.

China —Noodles for lunch. The birthday child pays respect to his/her parents and receives a gift of money. Friends and relatives are invited to lunch and noodles are served to wish the birthday child a long life.

England —Fortune telling cakes. Certain symbolic(象征性的)objects are mixed into the birthday cake as it is being prepared. If your piece of cake has a coin in it, then you will be rich.

Italy—Pulling ears. The child's ears are pulled as many times as how old they are turning.

Japan-New clothes. The birthday child wears entirely new clothes to mark the occasion.

New Zealand—Birthday claps. After the birthday cake is lit, the happy birthday song is sung loudly and often out of tune and then the birthday person receives a clap for each year they have been alive and then one for good luck.

The United States—Cake, candles and song. A cake is made, and candles are put on top based on how old the person is.

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them,all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year,I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However,people still use their bicycles to get around. For many,it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver,green,red,blue,yellow,whatever you want.

It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads,move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks(人行道).Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.

Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied(陪伴)my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.

My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的).To be safe,I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.

I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

1.According to the author,why are bicycles still popular in China today?

A. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.

B. Because they are traditional and safe.

C. Because they are colorful and available.

D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.

2.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended .

A. to ride it for fun

B. to use it for transport

C. to experience local culture

D. to improve his riding skills

3.How did the author feel about his street crossing?

A. It was boring

B. It was wonderful.

C. It was lively.

D. It was difficult.

4.Which of the following can BEST describes the author's biking experience?

A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.

B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.

C. The author was praised by the other bikers.

D. The author took great pleasure in biking.
