1 . Around the world, people have different traditional foods to celebrate different festivals. Traditional foods also show a new year of good luck and good health.
An English Christmas dinner has a meal of turkey, and it also includes pies and plum puddings (李子布丁). In Germany, Christmas is celebrated with bread, cookies and cakes, which are made like Christmas trees. In France, Christmas dessert is a cake filled with butter cream.
In southern parts of India, there is a three-day festival in mid-January called Pongal. It includes rice and a dish of rice cooked with sugar that is shared with families and friends.
Japan celebrates New Year with a seven-day festival. It begins from January (1)st. Food is prepared before the festival so people don’t need to cook during the festival. On New Year's Day, various dishes called Osechi Ryori (御节料理) are served—each dish is a wish for the New Year.
In most Asian countries, the New Year begins with the first full moon of the first Chinese Lunar (阴历的) month. Each place has its special food to welcome the coming year. People in China prepare their food ahead of time to avoid the possibility that using a knife during New Year's time might "cut luck". Foods with lucky names are popular, such as fish, which sounds like "surplus(剩余)".

2 . Trees are useful to man in important ways: they provide him with wood and other products；they provide him shade；and they help to prevent droughts（旱灾）and floods.
Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to make money from trees，（1）______________，only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees，their roots break up soil allowing the rain to sink in and also bind（固定）the soil，thus preventing it from being washed away easily；but where there are no trees，the rain falls on hard ground and flows away，causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When the top-soil is gone，nothing remains but worthless desert.
Two thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself and empire. It set up the empire，but without its trees，（2）_______________. When the empire fell to pieces，the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation（饥荒）.
Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，it is difficult for it to persuade（说服）the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food，and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control，or can educate the people，the forests will slowly disappear.
