WILL THE WORLD AT 12:01 A.M. on Jan. 1, 2019 be completely different from how it was at 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2018? Not really. But people make a big deal of flipping (翻动) over the calendar. For example, you make a New Year resolution, a promise to yourself that you’ll try to be better in the year ahead. Maybe that means being nicer to your family members, or reading news more often. My resolution is to have a pet. My favourite pet is in the puzzle on the right. Try to find it.
