Welcoming the new year is a universal concept shared by many countries. Every country has a special way of welcoming the upcoming year with unique traditions. Here are some ways countries celebrate the new year around the world.
Hitting bread on the doors and walls in Ireland
In Ireland, it is a custom to hit bread on the doors and walls of one’s house to drive away bad luck and spirits. They hope this will invite new spirits and good luck to welcome the new year.
Eating 12 grapes before midnight in Spain
As the clock strikes midnight, Spaniards eat 12 grapes, each grape standing for good luck in the whole year. The goal is to swallow all the grapes before the clock stops chiming to gain a year filled with good fortune.
Displaying round fruits in the Philippines
Similar to the tradition of eating grapes in Spain Filipino s display 12 types of round fruit on the dining table, symbolizing richness for all 12 months of the year. It is also common to wear dots for the same reason. Interestingly, the symbolism dates back to the round shape of gold and silver coins.
Wearing white and jumping through seven waves in Brazil
When the clock strikes midnight, Brazilians jump through seven waves while making a wish with each wave. The number seven is connected to the water goddess who is said to guide people through difficulties in the new year.

Huang Yahui, a 40-year-old from Urumqi, Xinjiang, has been attracted by nature since childhood, a passion she developed in her 20s by taking part in adventurous outdoor activities.
Then in 2011, she chanced upon a life-changing opportunity to volunteer with a research team led by Ma Ming, a professor at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences. That brief experience helped shape her future career.
Now, Huang is a full-time environmentalist of a nature preservation in Urumqi. Each year, she and her team cross Xinjiang’s forests and mountains, documenting wildlife—with a special focus on butterflies. Butterflies have a relatively simple body structure and are highly sensitive to slight climate changes. Therefore, changes in population structure, numbers and habits of butterflies can reflect regional climate changes. Huang said, “That’s the reason why I have developed a strong passion for butterflies.”
However, due to the high diversity of butterfly species, relying only on scientific researchers for butterfly observation is insufficient. According to Ma, ecological preservation organizations play a vital role in establishing butterfly observation networks. Over the years, Huang’s team has actively contributed to this effort. Her team has recorded more than 200 butterfly species, providing important data to local authorities.
Recently, Huang is working on a book about butterfly conservation that integrates (结合)the traditional culture of the 24 Chinese solar terms. “My goal is to help more people understand the importance of harmony between human and nature, and encourage efforts in protecting nature and biodiversity,” she said.
4. What inspired Huang’s environmental career
A. Her parents’ influence. B. The professor’s suggestion.
C. A volunteer experience. D. Her passion for outdoor activities.
5. Why does Huang observe butterflies
A. Because they have high medical value.
B. Because they have a simple body structure.
C. Because they are a target for preservation efforts.
D. Because they are an indicator of climate changes.
6. What do the underlined words “this effort” mean in paragraph 4
A. Identifying rare species in the wild. B. Cooperating with government officials.
C. Creating systems to monitor butterfly. D. Studying regional variability of butterflies.
7. Which of the following words best describe Huang
A. Committed and responsible. B. Intelligent and adaptable.
C. Observant and independent. D. Adventurous and pioneering.
C
The threat of language extinction isn’t new. But there are ways to save at-risk languages, as well. For the past two decades, Garifuna artists have used a cultural foundation — dance music — to inspire young Garifuna people to learn and share their native language.
Much of the Garifuna people’s history is passed down not just by words, but by song and dance, such as the jankunu. Elements of the Garifuna culture — including music, dance, and language — were listed as a UNESCO Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2001. Around the same time, Garifuna musicians and cultural activists put for ward a plan: to create songs entirely in Garifuna to unit e young Garifuna people to learn the language.
Palacio, a leader in the cultural movement, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form the Garifuna Collective band in 2007. Their Garifuna lyrics sent a powerful message: it’s time to defend our culture. After multiple world tours and international music awards, “The Garifuna Collective put Garifuna on the international map, and we are optimistic about it,” said Palacio. Although Palacio passed away in 2008, his songs, and the works of Garifuna musical activists across Central America, lit a cultural flame for Garifuna people worldwide.
Musician Lovell adopted the language at the age of 16 to follow in the footsteps of his favorite Garifuna musician and cultural revivalist. Lovell became part of a larger grassroots (基层) effort to teach the language in New York. Increasingly, many Garifuna language lessons are now available online.
Another set of musicians were inspired by Palacio’s message, such as the founders of Battle of the Drums, an international music competition in Belize. This famous staff helps elementary and high schools in Belize teach the Garifuna culture and language through music—a strategy borrowed by other language professors who teach Garifuna through songs.
Will music save the Garifuna language Garifuna remains on UNESCO’s endangered language list which was last updated in 2010. It seems that this kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road.
8. Why did artists plan to create songs entirely in Garifuna
A. To save their language. B. To refresh their dance.
C. To gain international fame. D. To promote their music.
9. What can we infer about Palacio from paragraph 3
A. He saved their language successfully.
B. He contributed to defending his country.
C. He played a crucial role in the movement.
D. He founded the most popular band at that time.
10. What can we learn from the examples in paragraphs 4 and 5
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Music goes beyond boundaries. D. One person can make a difference to another.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of Garifuna language
A. Uncertain. B. Optimistic. C. Pessimistic. D. Unconcerned.
D
With its red color, Mars has long been called the red planet. Now, scientists may have discovered the potential source of that red color, overturning a popular theory in the process.
Previous analyses of the substances on Mars, based only on observations by spacecraft, didn’t discover any evidence of water, which led researchers to believe that the iron oxide must be hematite (赤铁矿) which typically forms in a dry environment over billions of years. However, a team led by Valantinas from Brown University analyzed data from Mars missions and suggested ferrihydrite (水铁矿) which forms quickly in cool water may be responsible for the redness rather than hematite.
The new study has combined lab methods with observational data for the first time to offer evidence. The scientists recreated Martian dust in a laboratory. The team analyzed the dust using techniques similar to those employed by orbiters. Then, the scientists compared the lab data with spacecraft data. It is suggested that even the dustiest parts of Mars hold evidence of water-rich substances, and the presence of ferrihydrite is the best match for dust on Mars, rather than hematite, when compared with the lab samples.
The study wasn’t focused on determining when exactly the substance formed. However, since ferrihydrite forms in cool water, it’s possible that it was created about 3 billion years ago, as opposed to when the planet was warmer and wetter millions of years before. “This was a time of volcanic activity on Mars that likely caused ice-melting events, providing conditions favorable for ferrihydrite formation,” Valantinas said. “The timing matches with a period when Mars was changing from its earlier, wetter state to its current desert environment.”
Now researchers are waiting for the samples on Mars to be brought back to earth. “Once we get these samples into the lab, we’ll be able to measure how much ferrihydrite the dust contains, and what this means for our understanding of the history of water,” said Valantinas.
12. What’s the popular theory
A. Mars is a red planet. B. Hematite accounts for Mars’red color.
C. Water existed on Mars. D. Ferrihydrite was formed without water.
13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the previous idea
A. By observing the activities on Mars.
B By analyzing dust collected from Mars.
C. By comparing hematite and ferrihydrite.
D. By indicating the existence of ferrihydrite.
14. What makes the formation of ferrihydrite possible on Mars
A. High pressure. B. Volcanic eruption.
C. The lack of ice. D. The dry environment.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Red Planet Without Water B. Why Is Mars Red
C. Volcanoes Shaped Mars’ Surface D. What Is Mars’ True Color
