Is it traditional to have a birthday like this?

Teresa, Madrid, Spain

My twenty-first birthday was in April. I was really happy to go out with some friends. They pulled my ear 21 times, once for each year. It’s an old custom(习俗). Some people do it only once, but my friends are very traditional! Sometimes it’s great to follow the custom. I even want them to do that on my sixtieth birthday!

Francisco, Paris, France

   I’m going to be 30 next Friday. In France, when you have a birthday, you often invite people out. I know that in some countries it’s the opposite---people take you out.

Lin Xiaohan, Taipei, China

   Yesterday was my sixteenth birthday. It was a special birthday, so we had a family dinner together. I was happy to get some money from my parents. My mother cooked noodles--- noodles are for a long life.

Mr. and Mrs. Brady, Manchester, Britain

   In Britain, we say, “Life begins at 40”. My husband is going to be 40 at the weekend. It’s a special birthday. I’d like to hold a big party for him with all our friends and family members, but we don’t want him to know that now. It’s going to be a surprise. What am I going to give my husband? I can’t say. That’s a surprise, too.

A lift is wonderful. It is really only a small room. Rooms usually stay in one place. Lifts travel up and down all day long.

Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she operates(操作)it up and down. In modern lifts there is no worker. The people walk in. They know which floor they want. They push a button(按纽)and the lift goes to the floor. It is very fast and easy.

Lifts are very important for us. Why? Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs?   Perhaps people can climb them one time. Can someone climb thirty floors to an office everyday? Can small children walk up to their rooms on the twenty–forth floor？Can their mother and their father carry food up all those stairs? Of course not.

We can have high buildings because we have lifts. We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings in the world without lifts. They are really wonderful.
