三、阅读理解。
People celebrate birthdays in nearly every country around the world. And they celebrate them in many different ways.
In Brazil, the special birthday food isn't a cake, but some candies. In China, people eat long noodles as a wish for long life. In Iceland, people have pancakes with sweet candies in them on birthdays. In Britain, people celebrate the birthday all day. The birthday child is lifted up by his or her classmates.

They give cakes, cookies and candies to their classmates and teachers on their birthdays. In Mexico, it's good luck to give birthday greetings as early as possible in the day. So it's usual for the birthday child to wake up at midnight, with friends singing birthday songs. In Thailand, the birthday person holds a tall candle. The candle is as tall as the birthday person. It will bring good luck to him or her.
