The Spring Festival in China
Every year there is a Spring Festival in China. Usually it is held in January or February. Of all our festivals, the Spring Festival is the most important. So before it comes, everyone has to decorate them. The old folk says that everything must be new and clean for the Spring Festival celebrations so that the new year will bring happiness and good luck. We also buy pork, beef, chicken, fruit and many other things. Parents buy new clothes for their children and children may also buy presents for their parents.
The celebration begins on the eve of the lunar new year, and we put up some New year pictures. On the Festival eve, all the family members come back to their hometown. No matter how far away from home a person is, he will always try to get home in time for this big dinner. We often make a special kind of food called “dumplings”. It means “come together”. When we’re enjoying the meal, we give each other the best wishes for the coming year. We sing, dance and play cards.
On the first day of the holiday, we usually stay at home. We get up fairly early and, first thing, exchange New Year greetings. This is a happy moment for the children; they can get some pocket money. And then we shot off firecrackers and fireworks. We enjoy ourselves very much.
On the second and the third days, we go visiting relatives and friends. We sit around chatting and eating sweets and New Year Cakes and all kinds of delicacies. Each family prepares something special. Sometimes we would see some lion and dragon dancing.
The celebration lasts about 15 days. The 15th night of the first moon in called the Lantern Festival. This is the day when we young people go out to enjoy ourselves, and sometimes we dance folk dances far into the night.

In New York, Miss Mckenney began to write stories about the amusing experiences she shared with her sister. These were published in the New York magazine, and later in a book called “My Sister Eileen”. This book was an immediate bestseller, and soon became a hit play. Miss Mckenney has also written a guide to England and a number of serious books on American labor.

Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.
Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?
Main comparisons | Contexts |
__1__ are changing | In the past people put caring, sharing and generosity in the first ____2____. |
Nowadays, people seem to be more ____3____about themselves. | |
___4___are changing too. | People in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing(谦让的). |
People may strive to achieve their own __5___ at the price of their coworkers. | |
The author’s understanding | |
___6____ for the changes in author’s eyes | Fierce __7___ and great __8___on modern people may be responsible for the changes. |
