| 阅读理解。 In Japan, there are many holidays and other great days. We can tell only a few here. The fifth birthday of a boy is a great day in the family. The boy puts on a shirt like the one his father wears. It is an important moment in his life and means that he must now be a manly little boy like his father. He must smile when he has pain (疼痛) or trouble. He must carry on. The day a girl becomes seven years old is a big day in the family. She may now wear a sash ( 腰带) like the one her mother wears. Her friends and her mother"s friends come and drink tea and eat cakes. It means that the girl must now be a womanly little girl and help in the home. One of the great holidays in Japan is the Emperor"s (天皇) birthday. Instead of school, there are picnics, sports and speeches (演讲), as we have on our fourth of July in America. 注： 1. an important monent 重要的时刻 2. means 意味着 3. a manly little boy 男子汉气概的小男孩 4. must carry on 必须坚持 1.

| Everyone has his own birthday. People in different countries celebrate(庆祝) their birthdays in different ways. Here are four people from different countries. They will tell us how they celebrate their birthdays in their countries. Sandy Morrison comes from Madrid(马德里). He says happily, " My twenty-first birthday is on a Saturday, and I"m going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they are going to pull(拉, 扯) on my ear twenty-one times, once for each year. It is an old custom(风俗). Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional." Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be sixty tomorrow. In Japan, the sixtieth birthday is called Kanreki-it"s the beginning of a new life. The colour red is for a new life, so they always, give something red for a sixtieth birthday. Mrs. Sato says, " What am I going to give my husband. I can"t say. It"s a surprise(惊喜). " Li Xiaomei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, " Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday. It"s a special birthday. So we"re going to have a family party. I"m probably going to get some money in lucky envelopes(信封) from my relatives. My mother is going to cook noodles noodles are for a long life." Phillip Evans, from Paris, smiles to us, " I"m going to be thirty next week, so I"m going to invite three very good friends out to dinner. In France, when you have birthday, you often invite people out. In some countries, I know it"s the opposite-people take you out." 1. Do people in different countries celebrate their birthdays in the same way? 2. Is Mr. Sato going to receive something red on his birthday? 3. What is Li Xiaomei going to do on her birthday? 4. How old is Phillip Evans going to be? 5. Who is going to take his friends out to dinner on his birthday? | ||||

| Different countries and different people have different manners.We must find out their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered(没有礼貌的). Here are examples of the things that a person with good education does or does not do. If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not move before the host says" Come in, please." After you come into the room, you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a table before you or sent to your hand, you will say "thank you" and receive it with two hands, not one hand or they will think you are ill - mannered. Before entering a house in Japan, it is a good manner to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes the drink or the food to show he has enjoyed it. That will make the host pleasant. | ||||
