Birthdays are celebrated（慶祝）all over the world. Some ways to celebrate birthdays are rather similar from county to country：candles，cakes，and birthday wishes. But there are also different ways to celebrate birthdays. Here are a few：

Denmark
A flag is flown outside a window to show that someone who lives in the house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the child’s bed while he is sleeping so he will see them at once when he wakes up.

Usually Indian children wear white to school. However, on their birthdays, children wear colored clothes to school and give out chocolate to everyone in the class. Their best friends help them to do this.
Japan
The birthday child wears new clothes to mark the special time. Certain birthdays are more important than others. These are the third and seventh for girls and fifth for boys.

Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.

      While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, "Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class. I wrinkled(皺起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?“ Mum said nothing. The next day. mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate in it. “I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.” Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

     On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet (床單), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, "Now it's time for the great prize game. It’ s the following riddle..." It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

     Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.

     When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way.

    Now lots of parents will buy everything that their children want to have. If they go on with the habit, their children won’t know the money   1   from hard work.

Some parents like to   2   birthday parties for their children. If they keep on doing this, their children will think it   3   for them to enjoy birthday parties every year. Year after year, maybe they will forget their   4   birthdays and only remember their own. It is against traditional habits.

Many parents don’t let the children do housework. They think children have only one thing to do. They should study hard and do   5    in their lessons. If parents go on doing this, the children will only learn to open their mouths to be fed and stretch out (伸出) their arms to be   6   every day. When the children grow   7   , they will be able to do   8  , and they won’t even find a job. Parents should teach the children   9   to do housework because it can help them start good    10   of working by themselves.
