| Kim Minho
South Korea | My birthday is on 11th June. On that day, I always have a special birthday breakfast — seaweed soup. Why? Because mothers often have it after giving birth. So having this soup on my birthday is a way to say “thank you” to my mum. |

South Africa | My birthday is on 30th December. In South Africa, we don’t celebrate every birthday. But when we turn 21, it is very special. Our parents will give us a key. It means we are old enough to “unlock the door” to our future. |

开放回答
Which birthday tradition do you like best? Why? Write at least 2 sentences.

1. B 解析 由文中的“So having this soup on my birthday is a way to say ‘thank you’ to my mum”可知，Kim Minho 在生日的时候喝海带汤是因为这是一种向妈妈表达感谢的方式。
2. C 解析 由文中的“one pull for each year of their age”可知，每拉一下代表一岁。所以12岁就被拉12次。
3. C 解析 由文中的“But when we turn 21, it is very special. Our parents will give us a key”可知，Danny 的父母会在他21岁生日时给他一把钥匙。
4. B 解析 由文中的“It means we are old enough to ‘unlock the door’ to our future”并结合21岁成人的背景可知，此处是比喻“开启成年后的新生活”。A项“用钥匙开门”是字面意思，C项“搬新家”文中并未提及。
5. A 解析 文章表格中讲述了各国不同的生日习俗，最后一段总结“不同方式，相同愿望”。选项A完整概括了全文主旨。B项“我们都有生日”过于宽泛，C项“庆祝生日很有趣”只提到“有趣”这一面，未涵盖“不同习俗”和“相同愿望”的核心内容。
开放回答: I like Argentina's birthday tradition best, because it is very interesting. Pulling ears on the birthday sounds fun and I want to try it!（答案不唯一，合理即可）
