Birthday Traditions in Different Countrles
England
Certain symbolic objects are mixed into the birthday cake as it’s being prepared．If your piece of cake has a coin in it，then you will be rich．Also，when it’s your birthday，your friends give you the“bumps”．They lift you in the air by your hands and feet and raise you up and down to the floor；one for each year you lived，then another one or two for luck．
Denmark
A flag is flown outside a window to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday．Presents are placed around the child’s bed while he/she is sleeping，so he/she will see them at once upon awakening．
Holland
Special year birthdays such as 5，10，15，20，21 are called“crown”years．The birthday child receives an especially large gift on a crown year birthday．The family also decorates the birthday child’s chair at the dining room table with flowers，paper streamers and balloons．
Canada
The birthday child’s nose is greased（涂抹）with butter for good luck．The greased nose makes the child too slippery for bad luck to catch him/her．In some parts of Canada，the birthday person even receives a punch（一拳）for each year he/she is alive and then one for good luck．
Brazil
The birthday child receives a pull on the ear for each year he/she has been alive．The birthday person also gives the first plece of cake to his/her most special friend or relative，usually mom or dad．
Korea
There is a big family party on the first birthday．The table is set with food，and four items：a pencil，a ruler，thread，and money．The item that the baby chooses is said to forecast his/her future：excellent student，good with hands，long life or riches．
South Africa
On the twenty-first birthday，a key made of anything from paper to ailver to gold is presented by the parents as a sign that the child is ready to unlock the door to their future．

Let’s try doing thefollowing experiment．
What to Do：
Use string to hang a paper clip or other small object at about chest（胸部）level．
Pick up a stick，such as a broom handle．Take three or four steps away from the paper clip．
Now close one eye and walk toward the paper clip．Try to touch it with the tip of the stick．If you miss，try again，still keeping one eye closed．Now try it with both eyes open and see if it’s easier to do．
How it works：
In the experiment，you have to judge how far away the paper clip is．Your brain has several ways of doing this．
One simple way depends on how much your eye has to focus（聚焦）itself．Using only one eye，most people will find it difficult to touch the paper clip on the first try，but the brain still gets some information about distance—though not much．
Your brain can judge distance much better when you look at something with both eyes．In fact，your brain has more than one way to use both eyes in judging distance．For example，to see anything clearly，you have to make both of your eyes point at the object．When you look at a nearby object，your eyes turn inward．You can feel this happening if you look at the tip of your finger and move your finger toward your nose．
Your brain gets information from the eyes about how much they are pointing toward each other．Using that information，the brain can tell how far away any object is，whether it is a basketball or a paper clip．
38．How many materials do we need at least to do the experiment？
A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five
39．The passage is mainly about that with eyes our brain can judge ．
A．how big an object is B．how high an object is
C．how far away an object is D．how much information an object is
40．Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A．Our brain judges distance in one way when we use both eyes．
B．Our brain cannot judge the distance of a small object but a big one．
C．How much our eyes focus helps our brain judge the size of an object．
D．How much our eyes focus helps our brain judge the distance of an object．
41．From the experiment we can infer（推断） ．
A．with one eye we can see an object as clearly as we use two eyes
B．our eyes turn towards the inside when we look at an object very near
C．within 3 or 4 steps，the nearer an object is，the more clearly we can see it
D．our brain can hardly get any information about distance when we use oneeye
D
My mom isn’t fancy like other moms．They wear fancy clothes and drive fancy cars．My mom wears her gardening clothes when she walks me to school．
When fancy moms laugh，their laughs sound soft and whispery．You can hear my mom’s laugh from down the hall．I show her how to laugh quietly and she practices．But before long she starts laughing even harder than before．
At the talent show，my mom cheers loudly，“Bravo，everyone！Bravo！”instead of clapping politely the way fancy moms do．
For our class hike（徒步旅行），parents are invited．At breakfast I go over my rules for Mom，“Please don’t whistle．Don’t laugh loudly．No clapping．And stay in line．”
The other moms show up wearing fancy jackets and sneakers．My mom wears cutoffs，a floppy straw hat，and her old hiking boots．
We hike along，all in a line．Soon Mom starts to whistle her hiking songs，She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain．I shake my head at her．She stops and whispers，“Oops．Sorry，Jane．”
We keep hiking．Everything is perfect until…
Our teacher，Ms．Steele，stops and points，“A snake！”All the moms hold their kids hands and back up，except my mom．“Watch out！It might be poisonous（有毒的）！”Ms．Steele says．
The other moms shuttle back some more．However，my mom steps forward and says，“Hmm．Let’s see what kind it is．Nope，lt’s not poisonous．”
I shut my eyes．I know what’s coming next．Mom makes a sudden attack．“Got it！”she says．The other moms scream，not sounding fancy at all．
Kids gather around as Mom examines the snake．“It’s OK to touch，”she says．
Everyone’s too scared，but I go first．“snakes aren’t slimy，”I tell them．Right away，others line up．A couple of the fancy moms come up to touch the snake’s tail．
Later，Ms．Steele tells us to draw our favorite part of the hike．After a while，I look around quickly．Everyone’s picture is of Mom and me with the snake．
As we hike back to the bus，I squeeze Mom’s hand．“I’m glad I didn’t tell you my don’t-catch-snakes rule．”She smiles．But soon，she’s whistling her hiking songs again！
I start to make her silent，then stop．Instead，I take a deep breath and sing out too．Everyone joins in，even the fancy moms．
