How many birthday parities have you been to? What’s your favourite part of those parties? What I like most about birthday parties is the Piñata games. A Piñata is a container (容器) filled with small toys or sweets or both, and then broken as part of the party. The idea of breaking a container filled with toys or sweets came to European countries in the 14th century. The Spanish brought this tradition to Mexico. Today the Pinata is still part of Mexican culture, the cultures of other countries in Latin America, as well as the United States.

To play the Pifata game, hang the Piñata in an open area and have friends at the party stand in a line three meters away. Traditionally, to play the Piñata game you cover the eyes of the first child in line, gently spin (旋转) them around three times, and give them a long stick so they can hit the Pinata. If the children are under five years old, don’t cover their eyes and just spin each child around and give them the chance to hit the Piñata. Give each child the chance to hit the Piñata at least twice. As each one in the line tries to hit the Piñata, it is important to make sure everyone is standing at least five meters away from the one with the stick. More importantly, when the Piñata is cracked, make sure the one with the stick has stopped swinging (挥舞) the stick before letting everyone go and get the toys and sweets.

Any plans for your next birthday? Think about having a Piñata. You’ll have a great party with a Piñata.

A、回答问题

Ben has just started a school club called “Helping Dreams”. He got the idea after reading about a company. This company helped schoolchildren who felt bored or worried. Ben was inspired by this idea, and he wanted to do something to help others like that. Ben learned about finding pieces of machines or clothes and inventing something new with them. He sold the new objects during the lunch break. With the money he helped the kids who felt lonely. Ben understands that if he wants to help more people, he should do it as a team. Ben says,“You don’t need to know lots of facts or be good at science in my club. You can make a new game from an old CD player or some jewelry from used handbags.” His simple idea has grown and his schoolmates think his club is fantastic! Many people have joined him. He’s finding ways to make his helpful ideas cost less. He also plans to have “Helping Dreams” clubs in every school, because he hopes any child can join the team for free. Ben feels amazed because his club is so popular and he says, “It’s important to talk to someone when you feel unhappy at school. What’s more, you should try to have fun with friends, and my club helps with that, too! Anything is possible! Look at me and my dream!
