People all over the world celebrate this festival. On New Years Day there is a one-day holiday in most countries all the time. The real celebrations for New Year always happen on the night before called New Years Eve. There are a lot of interesting customs in the west, and there are a lot of differences from country to country.In China the spring Festival is a family get-together. And so is Christmas in many western countries. But New Year for some families is a time to get together with their friends, too. Most people often have parties to welcome New Year. At these parties, there are all kinds of food and drink, and people often sing and dance until the time nears for the coming of New Year.On New Year Eve when midnight comes, people often say “Happy New Year” to each other. Champagne （香槟酒） is a favorite drink for New Year. In many western countries frieworks（烟火）are let off at midnight, and many people like to make a noise, maybe they want to drive away bad spirits（幽灵）.At New Year people often sing one important Scottish (苏格兰）song with the name Auld Lang syne (Good times long ago).（1）People usually have great celebrations for New Year on .

This experimental store offers books at very low prices, and there is no staff(职员) to require shoppers to pay before taking books away. Sounds like a book lovers paradise(天堂)！Popular Bookmall had already set up such a shop in Nanjing. The organizers of the Nanjing store report that it was a great success, enough shoppers voluntarily paid for their books. But most older “honesty stores” in China did not receive enough honest shoppers. For example, a shelf-service restaurant opened in Fujian province years ago which allowed shoppers to pay whatever they chose, but about one fifth of shoppers paid nothing. Therefore some people have speculated(推断) that Chinese are becoming more honest. The organizers of the “honesty stores” say that their goal is to encourage people in China to remember how important honesty is.Many are cared about dishonesty in China. Even at Popular Bookmall, not everybody choose to pay for their books. How can we encourage ourselves to be honest? We should listen to our conscience(道德心). This has deep roots in Chinese culture. Confucius(孔子) taught Chinese to be conscientious and honest.But there is also a great rational(合理的) reason for “honesty stores”: the more honest people there are in society, the more reasons we have to trust others. And if people trusted each other, theyd be more willing to share. We could contribute to a “sharing economy” where you do not have to think about saving or spending money all the time, but helping other people. For all these reasons, society is built on trust, not only trade.阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的句子，每空一词。（1）Shoppers can buy _ books in the experimental store in Shanghai than other shops. （2）Nanjing has already_ set up a bookmall where shoppers can pay for their books voluntarily. （3）However, most of the honesty stores in China used to _ to achieve their goal.（4）The aim of organizing honesty stores is to have people understand the _ of honesty. （5）Conscientious and honest have greatly _ our city in many ways. 16. （25分）阅读下面的短文，将划线部分的句子译成汉语或英语。My name is Bob.
