Christmas is an important festival in the West. People decorate their houses with lights and Christmas trees. They also hang mistletoe in their homes. It is a custom that when a man and a woman find themselves under the mistletoe, they must kiss! Mistletoe is a symbol of forgiveness and love.

Decorations for Chinese New Year are mainly red and gold. Red is thought to be lucky. Red lanterns and firecrackers are popular and children are dressed in new red clothes. Decorated peach trees are also common and poems are used to decorate doorways to bring luck in the New Year.

根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案

A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just become motherless. A bomb destroyed her home and killed her mother.

Every day we see pictures like this on TV or in newspapers. We see young Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers. They move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they run away from their homes.

“Dad, why are the Americans attacking us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Sinar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.

He tries to comfort him by saying, “The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We are going to be all right.” Abu knows this isn’t always the truth, but what else can he do? In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to make them sleep so that they won’t hear the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed.

“All we can do is to listen to and hear the war,” said Abu. “People in Baghdad, men and women, young and old, have to live in fear. We don’t know where the next bombs are going. We can do nothing but wait to be killed.”
