In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st-January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal (正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the new wear with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of (摆脱) bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (重新). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year.

Living with these little animals is joyful. But sometimes, it hurts to see them die.
One winter morning, I found a baby blackbird sitting still in a corner. I picked it up, quickly moved it near a fire and covered it with a towel. Then I made silly bird noises, expecting that it would reply. It was breathing, though very weakly. But it did start to feel warmer, so there was hope!
In the next few hours, I kept coming to check on it. One time, its eyes opened and it seemed to look at me, but most of the time its legs were outstretched (伸直的). This was not a good sign! But I still kept making bird noises, saying, “Come on! Be strong!” I just wanted it to know that there was someone who cared. Unluckily, it still didn’t pull through.
During that whole winter, I always couldn’t get that poor baby bird out of my mind. “Why couldn’t I save it? What about its brothers or sisters?”
Dad watched all of these, but said nothing.
One sunny spring day, he invited me to walk with him in the backyard. Right there in the trees, I saw three young blackbirds singing happily. Oh! These baby blackbirds survived and they came to visit us again!
“See! Some birds die, and some live. That’s life! But we still should carry the hope for life, right?” said Dad gently, and I knew he was right.

The oil paper umbrella (油纸伞) is a traditional Chinese art. It has a history of over 1000 years in China. In e 1 Tang Dynasty (朝代), people brought it to Japan and Korea, so it was called “Tang Umbrella”. Later, the oil paper umbrellas became popular in other Asian countries.

In 2008, people a 5 these umbrellas to Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录) of China.
