【分析】
做这篇阅读理解题时，可按以下思路思考：
1. 细节题解题思路：对于第1、2题这类细节题，先通读全文了解不同国家的新年习俗，再带着题目问题回到对应国家的段落中，定位关键信息就能找到答案。比如第1题问巴西人求好运的做法，就找巴西相关段落；第2题问日本长面条的寓意，定位日本部分内容即可。
2. 主旨题解题思路：第3题是主旨大意题，需关注文章开头和整体内容，文章开篇就点明“people around the world are celebrating New Year's Eve in different ways”，全文围绕不同国家的不同庆祝方式展开，据此可确定主旨。
3. 词汇推断思路：对于“introduce”，结合常见的英语词汇用法，它是常见的动词，意为“介绍”。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据文中“In Brazil，people are wearing white clothes for good luck.”可知，巴西人穿白色衣服求好运，对应选项B，所以选B。
2. 第2题：从文中“In Japan...The long noodles mean long life.”可知，日本的长面条寓意长寿，对应选项A，所以选A。
3. 第3题：文章开头点明“people around the world are celebrating New Year's Eve in different ways”，接着分别介绍了不同国家的新年庆祝方式，所以主旨是世界各地的人们用不同方式庆祝新年，对应选项D，所以选D。
