The New Year’s Day is coming. They call it the Spring Festival. And this year is the year of the tiger. Before New Year’s Day, people are busy shopping and cleaning their houses. On New Year’s Eve, the night before New Year’s Day, there is a big family dinner. After dinner, all the families stay up late (守岁) to welcome the New Year. On the first day of the New Year, people put on their new clothes and go to visit (拜访) their friends. They say “Happy New Year” and some other greetings to each other. People usually have a good time during the festival. I really love this festival so much!

5 . My mother was English, and her family name was Robinson, so when I was born in 1632, in England, they called me Robinson, after her.
My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job, and live a quiet, pleasant life. But I wanted adventure (冒险) and an exciting life.
“I want to be a sailor (水手) and go to sea,” I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this.
“Please don’t go,” my father said. “You won’t be happy. You know sailors have a difficult and dangerous life.” Because I love my father, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea.
But I couldn’t forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship and my friend said to me, “We are sailing to London tomorrow. Why don’t you come with us?”
On September 1st, 1651, I went to Hull and the next day we sailed for London.
But, a few days later, there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous, and the ship went up and down, up and down. I was very ill, and was very afraid.
“Oh, I don’t want to die!” I cried, “I want to live! If I live, I will go home and never go to sea again!”
The next day the wind stopped, and the sea was quiet and beautiful again.
After a few drinks with my friend, I felt better. I forgot about it, and decided not to go home.
