Passage 1
Birthday Traditions in Different Countries
How do you often celebrate your birthday? Different countries have different traditions. Now, let's look at different traditions in different countries.
England
People will put certain symbolic objects into the birthday cake. If your piece of cake has a coin in it, then you will be rich. Also, when it's your birthday, your friends will 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 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 piece of cake to his/her most special friend or relative, usually Mom or Dad.

Passage 2
One day one of Dr. Jackson's students went to him with tears. Jackson tried to calm her down, and finally he knew that the girl couldn't get along well with her friends. Jackson, who has worked as a psychologist for nearly ten years, wrote some suggestions about making friends.
In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. Then keep away from this kind of friends. How do you know if you have found a good friend? You should look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability.
Above all else, you look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand you and accept you. Another quality of a friend is reliability. You can always depend on a good friend. If he tells you he will meet you somewhere at a certain time, you can be sure that he will be there. If you need a favor, he will do his best to help you. If you are in trouble, he will not run away from you.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom
