New Year
Every country in the world celebrates the New Year
but not everyone does it the same way.
The countries of the America and Europe welcome the New Year on January first.
This practice began with the Romans. Julius Caesar,a Roman ruler,
changed the date of the New Year
from the first day of March to the first day of January.
In the Middle East, the New Year is when spring begins.
People in China celebrate it on Spring Festival,
which is the first day of their calendar based on the moon.
The Spring Festival usually comes between January 21 and February 19.
Rosh Hashana,which is the Jewish New Year,comes at the end of summer.
The Hindus in India celebrate the first day of each season,
so they have four New Years.
In all of these cultures, there is a practice of making noise.
People made noise in ancient times
to drive away the evil spirits from the home.
Many people did it and still do it with fireworks.
In Japan,
people go from house to house making noise with drums and bamboo sticks.
Young people in Denmark
throw broken pieces of jars or pots against the sides of friends' houses.
In the United States many people stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve
to watch the clock pass from one year to the next.
Friends often gather together at a party on New Year's Eve,
and when the New Year comes,
all ring bells,blow horns and whistles, sing and kiss each other.

新年
世界上每個國家都歡度新年，
但是形式各不相同。
歐美國家是在每年的 1月1日喜迎新年，
這一習俗始于羅馬人.羅馬統(tǒng)治者儒略凱撒
將新年的日期
由原來的3月1日改為 1月1日。
在中東地區(qū),新年是在春天到來之際。
中國人是在春節(jié)歡度新年，
即陰歷年的第一天。
春節(jié)通常是在1月21日和2月19日之間來臨。
歲首節(jié),即*人的新年,是在每年夏季末。
印度人慶祝每一個季度的第一天，
因此他們又四個新年。
在這些不同文化背景中都有一個制造聲響的習俗。
人們在古時發(fā)出聲響
目的是將惡魔趕出家門
許多人過去用,現在仍然用放鞭炮的方式來驅趕惡魔。
在日本，
人們走街串巷,用擊鼓即敲竹的方式制造聲響
丹麥的年輕人，
則用朝朋友家投擲甕壇瓦罐碎片的方式發(fā)出各種聲響。
在美國,許多人熬到午夜，
等待新年鐘聲的到來。
朋友們經常在除夕夜聚集在一起，
當新年到來時，
人們敲鐘鳴號，吹口哨，唱歌，接吻擁抱。

Partying with Foreigners
Partying is fun.But have you ever been invited to a party by a foreigner?
What should you wear?
Should you bring anything?
If so,what?
Don't worry.
Today we are going to give you some tips about partying with foreigners.
First,you should ask if it is a formal or casual party.
Then you will know what to wear.
It's as simple as that.
At a casual party, it is customary to bring a bottle of wine or some other refreshment.
It is not considered polite to bring someone along with you unless you first ask your host.
At more formal parties like birthdays,a small gift will be sufficient.
Giving money would cause some embarrassment.
Finally,never overstay your welcome.
When it's getting late,it's time to thank you host for a wonderful evening and say good night.

與老外同樂
參加派對很有趣。可是，你曾被老外邀請去參加派對嗎?
你該穿什么樣的衣服？
你該帶什么東西去嗎？
如果要帶的話,帶什么？
別擔心。
今天我們要給你一些提示，讓你知道參加老外的派對時該怎么做。
首先，你得問清楚這是個正式的還是非正式的派對。
那么你就知道該穿什么樣的服裝了。
就是那么簡單。
若是非正式的派對，習慣上是要帶瓶酒或其他點心。
帶某些未經邀請的人參加是不禮貌的，除非事先問過主人。
若是比較正式的派對，如生日派對等，送個小禮物就夠了，
送錢會令人尷尬。
最后要注意的是，千萬別逗留過久而生厭。
時候不早時，你就該向主人致謝并告訴你度過了一個美好的夜晚，然后說聲晚安道別。
