二．课文精研读

　　It was my first time spending Spring Festival① in China with my host family②.Spring Festival is highly valued③ by every Chinese family.Preparations④ began a week before the festival.First，the house was cleaned from top to bottom⑤.My host mother Mrs Chen said this was to sweep away⑥ the dirt of the past year and get ready for⑦ the new year.

Next，the Chinese character⑧ Fu was attached⑨ upside down⑩ to our front door.It is believed that⑪ when Fu is put upside down，happiness arrives.The character looked really cool.

The greatest excitement began the night before Spring Festival.Fireworks⑫ were being let off⑬ across the city，suddenly lighting up⑭ the night sky.Children were covering their ears but with an expectant look on their faces⑮.Mrs Chen said that it was to scare away⑯ the monster Nian.The fireworks were a lot of fun! We then sat together to enjoy a big dinner，wishing everyone a happy new year⑰.

Tom Jenkins(a 16-year-old exchange student living in Nanjing)

I usually start planning my trip home to Shanxi weeks before Spring Festival，as⑱ train tickets or flights⑲ have to be booked⑳ as early as possible.I take great care in choosing gifts for my parents.This year，I bought a bottle of wine for my father and a beautiful sweater for my mother.

Every year，the moment I get on the train，I am surrounded by Shanxi accents—I know that I am heading home to my family.I don’t get to travel back to Shanxi very often，so when I get home，my parents will fill me in on what’s been happening—who has got married or had children or gone away to university.It’s great to hear what everyone’s been up to.

We usually have hotpot—it’s so tasty! However, what we eat isn’t the most important thing.What’s important is who we eat it with.  It’s a wonderful thing to be back together with my family and talk of old times.When I was a kid，Spring Festival was all about firecrackers，sweets and decorations.As I get older，coming home and being with my entire family is the most important part of it.  

Xu Gang(a 28-year-old computer engineer working in Shanghai)

Spring Festival is family time for us.My husband and I are both retired.We do not see our children and grandchildren very often and we miss them a lot.Weeks before Spring Festival，we start getting ready for their homecoming.Things start to get really busy.We think about what the children would like to eat，what we need to buy and what dishes need to be prepared.

Our house buzzes with activities when everyone comes home.Our grandchildren run around shouting and playing，and the adults gather around the table to talk about the past year.Great fun is also enjoyed in the kitchen as jiaozi are being made.We always have jiaozi during this time，as they mean something special on this occasion—they are a sign of our wishes for health and happiness in the coming year.To me，this is Spring Festival—the joy of a family gathering.

Li Yan(a 70-year-old grandmother from Heilongjiang)

Throughout history，some of the original customs have changed，but the spirit of the festival—the spirit of family—has largely been kept.Most of the important Spring Festival traditions are still being practised by people across the country.
