It is different to celebrate Christmas around the world.       In Brazil, Father Christmas is called Papai Noel. Many Christmas customs are similar to those in the USA or the UK. For those who have enough money, a special Christmas meal will be chicken, turkey, ham, rice, salad, pork and dried fruits, often with beer. Poorer people will just have chicken and rice.      In France, every family has a Christmas tree, sometimes decorated in the old way with red ribbons (绸带) and real white candles. Trees in the garden are often decorated too, with lights on all night. The Christmas meal is an important family gathering with good meat and the best wine.      Germans love to decorate their houses at Christmas. In the windows many houses will have colored pictures of paper or plastic which look beautiful from the outside at night. Father Christmas brings presents in the late  afternoon of Christmas Eve, after people have been to a church meeting. The presents are then found under the Christmas tree. One person in the family will ring a bell and call everyone to come to the room. On Christmas Day, fish or goose will be cooked.       In Sweden, the most important day is Christmas Eve. A special Christmas meal is eaten on Christmas Eve-pork, herring (鲱鱼), and brown beans-and this is the time when families give presents to each other. Many people attend a church meeting early on Christmas Day.

• 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：
  一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
  切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。

  三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
  切记：一想当然，就会出错。
