(二)Probably more food is consumed during the New Year celebrations than any other time of the year. Vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.
On New Year's Day, the Chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai. Although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.
Other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity. The chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. Noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.
In south China, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice（糯米）pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in reed（芦苇）leaves), another popular delicacy.
In the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food. The tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household

(三)My Spring Festival
My Spring Festival was great. Before the Chinese New Year, my families were all going to my grandparents’. Many of my relatives there were playing all the night. At night, we set off firecrackers. The voice was very loud, cars parked far from us were sounding. Maybe they feared the voice too.
The first day of the Chinese New Year, we all got up early. We said “Happy New Year!” or “Good luck this year!” to each other and get money from them. We visited our relatives all day. That made me feel very tired but very happy because I also can get money.
The second day of the New Year, I slept during the morning. In the afternoon, I went to the beautiful countryside, and visited the Yi River, it is very wide, about 1 kilometer.
Next day, we left my grandparents’ home for Qingdao. The expressway had been frozen. It was terrible! So we could only run by at a slow speed.
This festival was great, I love Spring Festival!

奇妙的海洋生物 　　今天，妈妈带我去兰州海洋生物馆。 　　一进门，只见大厅四周全是透明的玻璃缸，湛蓝的海水，可爱的鱼儿，美丽的珊瑚……我很快被那些色彩斑斓、神形各异的鱼吸引住了。 　　这时，一群像燕子似的鱼游了过来，它们的身体呈三角形，两个黑溜溜的大眼睛一鼓一鼓的，身上黄、白、黑三种颜色的条纹就像彩虹一样，十分引人注目，在它的身体上还有一个细长细长的鱼翅，上面有好多小齿，好似一把刀。解说员阿姨告诉我说：“这是关刀鱼，你看上面还有神像鱼，它和关刀鱼很相像，只是它的嘴巴有点尖，鱼翅很短。”我饶有兴趣地往上看，果然有几条那样的神像鱼在假山上嬉戏玩耍，如果不仔细看，还以为是同一种鱼呢！ 　　我们又往下看，在一个大的玻璃缸里有一个很大的海龟懒洋洋地趴在水底，我问阿姨：“这个海龟有多大岁数了？”阿姨笑着说：“这不是海龟，是玳瑁。”“什么，玳瑁！”我惊讶地问道。“对呀，你看它的嘴是不是有点像鹰，身上的壳是不是有点像龟壳，尾巴是不是有点像蛇呢？”我趴到缸前仔细一看，果然它的嘴巴和鹰的嘴一样像钩子，两只眼睛还虎视眈眈地望着前方，身上的壳有点像龟的壳但又不完全像，像鱼的鳞片一样一层层的，尾巴摆起来像蛇一样游动呢。阿姨又说：“所以，我们又称玳瑁为鹰头、龟身、蛇尾，它是国家一级保护动物。”我若有所思地点了点头。 　　快看！我被妈妈的叫声吸引过去。哇，好漂亮！只看见玻璃缸里有一个既像珊瑚又像是插满鲜花的花瓶一样的物体，解说员说：“这是一种动物，叫海苹果。”我望着这个奇特的动物，直感慨大自然的奇妙。阿姨指着玻璃缸问我们：“你们仔细地找找这里面还有一个动物，看看它是谁？”我睁大眼睛开始寻找，可是除了海葵就是珊瑚，哪有什么动物。还是爸爸眼尖，指着一个红色的石头问：“是不是这个？”“对，这是石头蟹，你看这是它的两个大钳子，它高兴的时候还爬呢。”阿姨说道。 　　我们继续往下看，真是让人眼花缭乱。看，大龙虾挥着它的大钳子张牙舞爪；寄居蟹背着别人的壳爬来爬去；蓝倒吊拖着它那美丽的尾巴游来游去，仿佛在给人展示它的美；皇上神仙和皇后神仙在海底追逐嬉戏，十分快乐；可爱的小丑鱼躲在毛茸茸的海葵里睡觉；水下的海星形状各异，有的像面包，有的像人的五指，有的像海葵；还有那铅笔鱼、胖头鱼、人字蝶、护士鲨…… 　　啊，海洋世界真是不看不知道，一看真奇妙！
