Everyone has his own birthday. People in different countries celebrate(庆祝) their birthdays  in  different ways. Here are four people from different countries. They will tell us how they celebrate their birthdays in their countries.      Sandy Morrison comes from Madrid(马德里). He says happily, " My twenty-first birthday is on a Saturday, and I'm going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they are going to pull(拉, 扯) on my ear twenty-one times, once for each year. It is an old custom(风俗). Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional."      Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be sixty tomorrow. In Japan, the sixtieth birthday is called Kanreki-it's the beginning of a new life. The colour red is for a new life, so they always, give something red for a sixtieth birthday. Mrs. Sato says, " What am I going to give my husband. I can't say. It's a surprise(惊喜). "      Li Xiaomei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, " Tomorrow is my sixteenth  birthday. It's a special birthday. So we're going to have a family party. I'm probably going to get some money in lucky envelopes(信封) from my relatives. My mother is going to cook noodles noodles are for a long life."      Phillip  Evans, from Paris, smiles to us, " I'm going to be thirty next week, so I'm going to invite three very good friends out to dinner. In France, when you have birthday, you often invite people out. In some countries, I know it's the opposite-people take you out." 1. Do people in different countries celebrate their birthdays in the same way?                                                                2. Is Mr. Sato going to receive something red on his birthday?                                                                  3.

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解 Everyone has his own birthday. People in different..”主要考查你对  历史文化类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

历史文化类阅读

考点名称：历史文化类阅读

• 历史文化类阅读：
  本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
  阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

• 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。
  因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。
  
  二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
  切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。
  
  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。
