Hi, I’m Yu Bo. Last year, I stayed in the UK for about two months. I found children’s life in the UK is really different from Chinese children’s. They have more free time to 【1】 their interests. They can choose to do things they like. But it also means that children don’t have to 【2】 their parents too much. They can take good care of themselves at an early age. At home, children have to learn how to【3】 such as sweeping the floor and 【4】 clothes. And they have to help with housework every day. At school, they don’t have much 【5】. They can take part in (参加 ) different activities and there is little homework for them.

All in all (总之), I think the children in the UK are more relaxed than children in China.

22、   In China, it’s a tradition for people to wait until the second day in the second month of the lunar (阴历的) year to cut their hair because people believe getting a hair cut on this day will bring them good luck. And traditional stories say that doing this in the first lunar month will cause your mother’s brothers to die.

Although it’s not true, some people still believe it. So, after a month’s wait, people usually flock to cut their hair on Dragon Head-Raising Day (龙抬头) ——the second day of the second lunar month.

Dragon Head-Raising Day falls on Feb 24 this year. It is an important traditional Chinese holiday. Ancient people believed that after this day, there would be more rainy days because the rain-bringing Dragon King would wake up from his winter sleep. So that day is the start of spring farming. Then goes a well-known saying, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”

Besides cutting their hair, there are also other ways to celebrate this holiday. For example, people eat food with “dragon names”. People call noodles dragon’s beard (龙须). Dumplings are dragon’s ears (龙耳) and spring rolls (春卷) are dragon’s scales (龙鳞). Sewing (缝补) is something that you can’t do, because the needles (针) might bring bad luck by hurting the dragon’s eyes.

A.it would make the Dragon King angry
