Spring Festival: past and present
The Spring Festival has always been one of the biggest celebrations in the country. As with any festival, its customs have changed over time. These days, many people have added a modern touch to traditional celebrations. Let's take a look at how people have updated their celebrations.
Gifts have always been an important part of the Spring Festival. In the past, people exchanged simple gifts. Families gave each other home-made treats, like sweets and biscuits. But today, it is common for families to buy gift boxes filled with dried seafood, nuts or other tasty snacks.
Festival entertainment has also changed. Traditionally, people played cards, shared meals and set off firecrackers. Although family dinners are still popular, many families now eat at restaurants instead of at home. They usually follow up their dinners with live performances or films.
Technology has influenced the way people celebrate. It has allowed relatives and friends in different parts of the country—and even the world—to stay connected during the festival. These days, many people send and receive Chinese New Year greetings through messages or video calls. Giving red packets through apps has also become popular.
Although some traditions have changed over the years, the spirit and meaning of the Spring Festival stay the same. This festival is—and has always been—about family togetherness and warm wishes for happiness and health in the new year.

2. 针对每个问题，回到原文定位对应段落，提取关键信息：
第1题聚焦“礼物变化”，定位第二段内容，对比过去和现在的礼物形式；

【解析】
1. 第1题：根据文章第二段“In the past, people exchanged simple gifts. Families gave each other home-made treats, like sweets and biscuits. But today, it is common for families to buy gift boxes filled with dried seafood, nuts or other tasty snacks.”可知，现在人们春节常赠送礼盒装的礼品，a选项符合原文；b选项是过去的送礼方式，c选项文中未提及礼物数量的变化，因此选a。
2. 第2题：由第三段“Although family dinners are still popular, many families now eat at restaurants instead of at home.”可知，如今很多家庭选择在餐馆吃年夜饭而非在家，b选项正确；a选项与“family dinners are still popular”矛盾，c选项文中未提到快餐，因此选b。
3. 第3题：根据最后一段“Although some traditions have changed over the years, the spirit and meaning of the Spring Festival stay the same.”可知，春节的精神与意义始终未变，b选项正确；a选项的食物、c选项的娱乐形式在文中都提到有变化，因此选b。
4. 第4题：文章开头点明“As with any festival, its customs have changed over time... Let's take a look at how people have updated their celebrations.”，随后从礼物、娱乐、科技影响三个方面具体介绍春节庆祝方式的变化，最后补充说明精神未变，全文核心是介绍春节庆祝方式的变迁，b选项符合主旨；a选项“提供春节基本信息”并非文章重点，c选项“鼓励保持传统庆祝方式”文中未提及，因此选b。
