New Year s Day is meant for food.As the new year arrives around the world, there could be special cakes and breads, for example, long noodles representing long life, field peas representing coins, and pigs representing good luck.The particulars vary, but the general theme is the same: Enjoy food and drink to bring in a year of prosperity.Here are some of the New Year s food traditions around the world.
Hoppin John, American South
A major New Year s food tradition in the American South, Hoppin John is a dish of pork-flavored field peas or black-eyed peas—symbolizing coins—and rice, frequently served with cooked greens—as they re the color of money and cornbread—the color of gold.The dish is said to bring good luck in the new year.
Twelve grapes, Spain
The people of Spain traditionally watch a broadcast from Puerta del Sol in Madrid, where people gather in front of the square s clock tower to ring in the New Year.Those out in the square and those watching at home take part in an unusual annual tradition: At the stroke of midnight, they eat one grape for every toll of the clock bell.Some even get their grapes ready—peeling and seeding them—to make sure they will be as efficient as possible when mid-night comes.
Tamales, Mexico
Tamales, corn dough filled with meat, cheese and other delicious additions and wrapped in a banana leaf or a corn husk, make appearances at pretty much every special occasion in Mexico.In many families, groups of women gather together to make hundreds of the little packets to hand out to friends, family and neighbors.
Soba noodles, Japan
In Japanese households, families eat buckwheat soba noodles, or toshikoshi soba, at mid-night on New Year s Eve to say goodbye to the year gone by and welcome the year to come.The tradition dates back to the 17th century, and the long noodles symbolize longevity and prosperity.

Mounting a telescope on the balcony at home, Wang Zhipu, a 16-year-old boy from Fujian Province, observes the skies, takes photos and begins his voyage into space after class.Recently, his efforts were rewarded when he won the title of “Young Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2021” in the Royal Observatory Greenwich s annual astrophotography contest.His winning entry, entitled Family Photo of the Solar System, shows seven of the eight planets lined up horizontally, with the sun on the left and moon on the right, both pictured larger in size than normal.
“All families are unconventional, so I adored this fresh, gently playful concept around the solar system,” said the competition judge Sue Prichard while talking about Wang s picture.“A meaningful technically accomplished work from a rising star of astronomical photography.”
It hasn t been easy taking pictures of outer space.For about half a year, Wang had to calculate the best time to shoot planets when they re opposite the sun in Earth s sky to get the brightest images.What s more, he still needed to wait for clear weather to see better.For example, to capture a clear picture of Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, which is often cited as the most difficult of the five brightest planets to see with the naked eye, Wang tried to shoot it three times in the early morning but failed.At sunset, he shot 10, 000 frames of video and selected several thousand better frames to overlay, further refine them and form a more satisfactory picture.
Sometimes Wang would be so absorbed in his observations that he wouldn t go downstairs to fetch a coat, even in the middle of winter.Other times, he stood for hours under the burning sun to get the perfect shot.To get an ideal shot, he often gets up at dawn, sleeps early to wake up at midnight, and even takes time off from evening classes when necessary.
4.What kind of feeling does Sue Prichard show for Wang s prizewinning picture?________
A.Curiosity. B.Indifference.
C.Appreciation. D.Anxiety.
5.What did Wang need to do in preparation for his photographing?________
A.Figure out when the planets shine best.
B.Find out where clear weather can be seen.
C.Work out how far the planets are from the sun.
D.Make out when the planets face the earth most directly.
6.What s the last paragraph mainly about?________
A.Wang s passion for outer space.
B.Wang s habits of observing stars.
C.Wang s addiction to shooting skills.
D.Wang s choices of shooting occasions.
7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?________
A.Stars Gathering, Teenager Is the Brightest
B.Medals Shining, Teenagers Gains the Gold
C.Eyes on the Stars, Teenager Wins Top Photo-prize
D.Dreams in Heart, Teenager Succeeds in Top Contest
