The New Year is one of the happiest holidays in Russia．Christmas was a very important Russian holiday before．However，in the past one hundred years，the New Year has taken its place．
The New Year is also celebrated with a Christmas tree that has begun to be called a New Year tree．Russian people regard the coming year as the beginning of new life，a chance to make dreams come true．There is a tradition to make a wish while drinking champagne(香槟酒)．Actually，champagne is the traditional drink of the first half hour of the New Year．And then beer or vodka(伏特加酒) takes its place．People make a lot of preparations before New Year's Day．They clean their houses and cook a lot of food．
Russian New Year is different from American Christmas．It is usually celebrated with friends while in America Christmas is usually celebrated with family．The New Year party is usually a very happy party with a lot of toasts(干杯，敬酒)，changing clothes，exchanging presents and congratulating each other．
Russians can have a lot of fun on New Year's Day．December 31st is working day，but
January 1st and 2nd are holidays，so it is a tradition for people to stay awake all night on New Year's Eve．And even children try not to go to sleep for as long as they can．People go out into the streets at night，light New Year trees and put them all around the town． 阅读短文，根据文章内容判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。
( ) 1．New year's Day is not as important as Christmas in Russia．
( ) 2．Russians usually drink beer or vodka first，and then drink champagne． ( ) 3．Russians usually exchange presents during the New Year party． ( ) 4．New Year holidays usually last from December 30th to January 2nd． ( ) 5．Russian New Year is not the same as American Christmas． 答案：
1．F 根据文章第一段的内容可知，以前圣诞节很重要，可是现在新年更重要，所以错误。
2．F 根据第二段内容可知，他们先是喝 champagne，后来又习惯于喝 beer or vodka，确定本句是错误的。
3．T 根据第三段的内容可知，在新年人们通常交换礼物，所以本句正确。
4．F 根据最后一段内容可知，12 月还在工作，1 月 1 — 2 号是新年，所以该题是错误的。
5．T 根据第一段的内容可以确定本句是正确的。 七

climbing．In fact，I hated it at that moment，but my father said to me，\beautiful sky at the top of the mountain，but you can't see it before you reach the top．Only there at the top，can you see all of the nice things，just like in life．\
At that time，I was too young to understand his words．But later after that，I got new hope and confidence(信心)．I found myself standing at the top of the sky，which was as clear as crystal(水晶)．
