的脚,以求好运。关于兔子的脚中哪一只最幸运,有各种奇怪的,不清楚的规则。然而,正如一句有趣的
谚语所说:“如果你愿意,就依靠兔子的脚,但要记住,这对兔子不起作用!”

But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?(但是如果你认为你需要许多运气,你可以做其他的什么吗?)结合英文提示可知此句要表达的句意是“在英国和美国,有一些奇怪的传统给你带来更多
的好运。”故答案是luck。

从复合句,从句是that引导的宾语从句。根据主语rabbits是复数,可知后面名词用复数,我们知道“兔子
是动物”,可知答案是animals。
48.句意:关于兔子的脚中哪一只最幸运,有各种奇怪的、不清楚的规则。短语all kinds of:各种各样的;
结合句意可知答案是kinds。
49.句意:据说这个好运气的传统是最古老的传统之一。短语It is said that+句子:据说….;结合句意可知

The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the
same date every year, but it's always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many
people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents
have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to
celebrate the day.
But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to
celebrate Jesus’ resurrection(复活)from the dead. Most people color Easter eggs. Some people hide them. Others
just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs, they are an important Easter tradition throughout the
Western world.
People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter
eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny(兔子).
But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria(保加利亚),red Easter
eggs are lucky in churches. Bulgarian families also hit these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The
winner looks forward to good fortune that year. Still dozens of other Easter traditions exist. In parts of Austria, for
example, children sing from door to door and are rewarded with colorful eggs.

You see people in movies celebrating a white Christmas in England or the United States. But Christmas in
Australia is different.
Australians celebrate the holiday on Dec.25th. It is at the hottest time of the year in Australia. The temperature
is usually about 30°C in most cities and can even be over 40°C.There is certainly no white Christmas in Australia.
Because it is so hot, the tradition is to have a lunch outside and to swim in the pool or beach. Most people have
a one-week holiday during this time, so they will travel to meet their family for Christmas lunch. Christmas lunch
is usually a big meal of ham, turkey, salad and fresh seafood. Family members all cook something different and
bring it to the big meal. I always enjoy Christmas lunch because there are lots of good cooks in my family. One
year my aunt even made a delicious gingerbread house(姜饼屋) for us to eat as desert.
Children get presents from Santa Claus and are always excited to play with them. It is a fun time to play or
swim in the pool with the other members of your family.
The sport of cricket(板球) is very popular in Australia and another tradition is to play a game of cricket in your
backyard. I always enjoyed playing with my uncle and cousins when I was growing up.
So Australia might not have a white Christmas. But it is still a very exciting and fun time of the year.

April Fool’s Day is coming! But do you know how April Fool’s Day comes?
In the sixteenth century in France, the start of the New Year was on April 1st. People celebrated the New Year
in the same way as it is today. They held parties and danced into the late night.
Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar into the Christian(基督教的)world, and the new year
fell on January 1st. Some people didn’t believe the change in the date, so they celebrated the New Year on April 1st.
Others played tricks on them and called them “April fools”.
Today Americans play small tricks on friends on the first day of April. One common trick on April Fool’s Day
is pointing down to a friend’s shoe and saying, “Your shoelace is untied.” School children like to tell a classmate
that there are no classes. Then if someone believes the trick, he or she will be called the “April fool”! People play
tricks on each other only because they want to enjoy themselves together. Most jokes are really funny and people
play tricks not to hurt anyone but to find happiness.
