Just as the clock is about to strike 12 o'clock on New Year's Eve, you should say “black rabbits” three times. And then, when the clock rings, say “white rabbits” three times.
In some South American countries, such as Bolivia and Brazil, your fortune for the year ahead can be decided by your underwear(内衣). People who wish to find love should wear red underwear for New Year. Those who want to get rich should choose yellow. And white underpants can bring you peace and quiet for the new year.

17题：分析三个传统的核心：约克郡的新年说法、南美不同颜色内衣对应不同新年愿望（求爱、发财、平安）、威尔士唱歌求新年好运，均表达对新年的美好希望。选项A（主要为孩子乐趣）、C（食物是核心）、D（不再流行）均与原文不符，故答案为B。
18题：文章围绕不同地区的新年文化习俗展开，属于文化类内容，最可能来自文化博客。选项A（个人旅行故事）、B（科学报告）、C（生物教材）均不符合文章主题，故答案为D。
