12、pring Festival, surrendering to public demand.

13、y people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on New Years Eve is the most important thing.

20、 And were not alone. Many social animals can identify individuals of their own species by features of their faces.

And theyre even better at this than our oldest animal partner, the domestic dog.In addi

25、tion, horses seem to have a strong long-term memory for human faces, like their long lifespan and history of domestication.

31、ntrue) stories. These characteristics are all part of the famous Irish stereotype(成见) that Irishmen are hot-tempered drinkers, who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a days work. The real joke, however, is that this negative Irish stereotype still exists, The stereotype might have had some

32、truth back in the 19th century when Irish was poverty-stricken and starving. Many Irish moved to the United States to escape famine(饥荒)，but there they had to compete, occasionally with their fists, for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups. It was on Americas streets that the Irish earned the

33、ir reputation for street fighting. However, it was far from truth today, with the exception of the drinking perhaps. Today, the Irish are admired for their story telling gifts and musical talents.

34、todays most popular music groups such as singer Enya and rock band U2 are Irish born and growing. LonelyPlanet readers even ranked Irelandas the friendliest country in the world.
