A. Lantern Festival Traditions
The Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. It falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. On this night, the first full moon of the new year appears in the sky.
One of the main activities is watching lanterns. Beautiful lanterns of all shapes and sizes are hung in streets, parks, and houses. Some places even hold large lantern shows. Solving riddles written on lanterns is another popular tradition. People, especially children, enjoy guessing the answers.
Eating yuanxiao or tangyuan (sweet rice balls) is also a must. These round balls, often filled with sweet sesame paste, peanut butter, or red bean paste, symbolize family unity and completeness.
In some regions, people perform dragon dances or lion dances. Others write their wishes on Kongming lanterns and release them into the sky, hoping their dreams will come true.

B. Different Views on Christmas
Christmas is celebrated on December 25th in many countries around the world. For many people, especially Christians, it is a religious holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. They go to church, sing carols, and focus on the religious meaning of the day.
However, for many others, Christmas has become a largely cultural and commercial holiday. People enjoy putting up Christmas trees and decorations, exchanging gifts, having big family dinners, and waiting for Santa Claus to bring presents. Stores and streets are filled with festive music and lights. It’s a time for joy, giving, and being with loved ones.
Some people feel that the commercial side of Christmas (buying lots of gifts, decorations, and food) has become too strong and overshadows the original meaning. They worry it causes stress and too much spending. Others enjoy all the festive activities and see it simply as a wonderful time for family fun and spreading happiness, regardless of religion.
So, while Christmas is a major holiday globally, the reasons for celebrating and the ways people celebrate can be quite different.
根据短文内容，选择最佳答案或回答问题。

A. Celebrating the New Year.
B. Remembering family ancestors.

Thanks for your email. You asked about my favorite Chinese festival. My favorite is the Spring Festival. It usually falls in January or February.
People celebrate it in many ways. Families get together for a big reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. We eat delicious food like dumplings. Also, people set off fireworks and give lucky money in red envelopes to children. What I like best is the happy atmosphere. I think that it's a special time for family love and new beginnings. Everyone wears new clothes and visits relatives, wishing each other good luck.
