There are several interesting customs in the West, and there are many differences from country to country.Though Christmas is a family get-together, New Year for some is a time to be with friends too. Parties are most often held to welcome New Year. At such parties, there is food and drink and dancing until the time nears for the coming of New Year.At midnight, people often say "Happy New Year" to each other. Champagne（香槟酒）is a favorite drink for New Year. In many western countries fireworks（烟火）are let off at midnight, and many people like to make a noise, possibly to drive away bad spirits（幽灵）.One important song is often sung at New Year—the Scottish（苏格兰）song of Auld Lang Syne (good times long ago. )11.

Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colorful peacocks （孔雀）here.The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square（广场）. They are given food freely by visitors. They usually throw food to them, and don't think about at all whether the food is right or not.

Pat, his sister kissed him and said, "You haven't changed much, Roy. Let me see, now — when did we meet last?""Twenty-five years age, " he answered. "I came here for a week, do you remember?" He added, "You haven't changed much either. " It was polite for Roy to say so, but it wasn't true. Pat seemed almost an old lady.The next morning Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs on the roads and beside the roads. There was a new car park, a new post office, a new bus stop. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop anywhere: you just put up your hand and it stopped．One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone! The school was gone; a lot of farm machinery stood in the playground!But Roy's biggest surprise was the people. He didn't recognize(认出) anybody at all; perhaps because everyone seemed old．He went into the post office and bought some stamps. "Where are all the children and young people?" he asked the postmaster.The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. "Children?" he said. "They're in school, of course. There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus—to Horham. "Horham was a town about twenty kilometres away.At lunch Pat said, "The village looks nice, doesn't it?""It's all different, Pat. It used to be an exciting place, but now it's full of old people. I don't understand… ""There are a few newcomers, but the ones we knew are still here. You're not exactly young yourself, Roy, are you?"11. Why did Roy say that Pat hadn't changed much, either? Because .A. Pat was still a young ladyB. they hadn't seen each other for twenty- five yearsC. he didn't know how much Pat had changedD. it was a polite way to say so12. Roy didn't recognize anybody at all because .A. the people of the village were all newcomersB. they had become much older than beforeC. he didn't know them at allD. the people he knew had gone to school13. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Roy was a young man.B. The people who Roy knew were still in the village.C. Many old people moved into the village.D. Roy was younger than the people he knew.14. From the passage, we know that .A. the postmaster understood what Roy askedB. there was no school in the village beforeC. the children Roy knew must go to school by busD. Roy didn't realize(认识到) that he was twenty-five years older than before15. The best title(题目) of the passage is" ".A. ChangesB. A SurpriseC. It's Full of Old PeopleD. A Polite Answer(B)Homesick is a compound (复合) word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each word means on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means SICK FOR HOME.Now think for a minute about SEASICK. If you change the word home in the definition(释义) to the word sea, would the definition fit SEASICK? Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA? It means something quite different. Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are homesick, the only place you want to be at home. When you areseasick, the last place you want to be is at seA.Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heart-sick doesn't mean that something is wrong with a person's heart. People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are broken.But, on the other hand, we have such compound words as handshake and handbag. Perhaps you may write definitions for them and knowing something like this must be helpful in your English study.16. The word SEASICK means " ".A. to want very much to go to the seaB. what has nothing to do with the seaC. to be sick because of the seaD. that the sea is terrible17. When we say a person is heartsick, we mean thatA. his heart is brokenB. his heart needs testingC. he's sorry at heartD. he's terribly disappointed(^M)and sad18.
