When they finally arrived, Luo Yan’s parents were glad to see them. They had put up beautiful decorations around the house for the festival.
On the Chinese New Year’s Eve they had a big dinner together happily and then everyone stayed inside and watched the Spring Festival Gala. They felt comfortable in the warmth, but Luo Yan was also a little worried and hoped he could take his parents to live with him in the city in the future.
Close to midnight,the whole family went outside to set off firecrackers. It was a time to celebrate their togetherness and look forward to the future with hope.
4. Focus on the activities the family did and learn more about the Spring Festival by answering the following questions.

(3) What is the special meaning of these traditions on such an occasion
It’s a chance for family members to spend time together and enjoy each other’s company, especially for those who are away from home and cannot see their family members often. By observing these traditions, they want to make up for the time they have lost and express their deep love to each other.

B. Appreciate
1. Answer the following question.
The title of this article is “A precious family dinner”. Why do you think the adjective “precious” is used
This is a precious family dinner because it is the dinner the family has had together after being separated for a long time. The dinner also represents the strength of the family’s bond as shown by their enjoyment of being together for this moment and also their longing to be together in the future.这是一顿珍贵的家庭晚餐，因为这是家人在分开很长一段时间后团聚的晚餐。这顿晚餐也代表了家庭纽带的力量，因为他们享受在一起的这一刻，也渴望未来能在一起。
2. Answer the question in part B on page 40.
What Spring Festival traditions do you observe What are their meanings
I go back to my hometown, visit my extended family and get red packets! The Chinese New Year is a time of family reunion. The annual reunion dinner with members of my extended family is the biggest event of the festival. We eat Spring Festival cakes, or niangao, which symbolize increasing prosperity in each coming year. Red packets received from the elderly symbolize good luck and fortune.
3. Discuss how the Chinese people, especially the young, celebrate the Spring Festival nowadays.
Nowadays, the Chinese people, especially the young, are fond of having the family dinner in a restaurant and enjoying a film together with their family members.
Sometimes, they spend a few days travelling with their family members around the country, or abroad. Sending online messages of greetings by social software is the most common way to give their wishes. And they are fond of “grabbing electronic red packets” on their smartphones.
4. Answer the question in part C on page 40.
Why do the Chinese people attach so much importance to reunion during the Spring Festival
The answer to this question is deeply rooted in(深深植根于) the traditional Chinese culture, which is characterized by a sense of family, or a sense of belonging. The concept of family has a great influence on the Chinese people, and three generations living under the same roof is good proof of a thriving family.
Even if family members live apart, they must get back home at the Spring Festival and bring new year greetings to the family elders. They tell the family about their experiences and achievements while away from home, feeling content that they can bring glory to the family.
Family reunions are also good occasions when children learn about their cultural inheritance(文化传承), who will pass it down to their own children after they grow up. Traditionally, there are ceremonies of offering sacrifices to ancestors(祭祖)and people exchange new year greetings with their relatives and friends. Brought up in this harmonious atmosphere, children will naturally follow this tradition.
sacrifice (to sb) 祭献；祭祀；祭献的牲畜；祭品
They offered sacrifices to the gods.
他们向众神献上祭品。
