Birthdays are observed by many people throughout the world. ? In China, special noodles are served in honor of the birthday person. The noodles are extra long to symbolize longevity / a long life. ? In some other cultures, people celebrate birthdays with a cake topped with lighted candles, the number of which represents how old the birthday person is turning. ?

Everyone likes being young, not old. It’s human nature. III. Part B : Listening Tasks A Passage Birthday Celebrations Around the World Language and Culture Notes 1. Background information There are numerous traditions. Family history, culture, language and economic status are all factors that affect the way a person observes the anniversary of his or her birth. Two of the most significant factors throughout history, however, have been geographic location and religious beliefs. The tradition of birthday celebrations started in Europe a long time ago. It was feared in those days that evil spirits were more likely to harm a person when he or she experienced a change in his or her daily life, such as turning a year older. To protect them from harm, friends and family would come to be with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes. Giving gifts was supposed to bring even more good cheer to ward off the evil spirits. This is how birthday parties began. At first, it was only kings who were recognized as important enough to have birthday celebrations. As time went by, people began to celebrate children’s birthdays. The first children’s birthday parties occurred in Germany and were called Kinderfeste, meaning children’s festival 2. This just isn’t the case. This is simply not true. 3. And most Muslims don’t celebrate their birthdays. Most Muslims do not celebrate their birthdays because of their religious belief. In the Muslim country Saudi Arabia, for example, people do not observe birthdays. Instead, they thank God following the birth of a child by giving gifts to the poor. After the child is a week old, its head is shaved. The family then donates an amount of silver equal to, and often more than, the weight of the child’s hair. Following this ritual, family and friends come together for a feast and a naming ceremony. 4. God I better get married. My goodness! I’d better get married. I better = I’d better. “God” is used as an exclamation to emphasize something people are saying. You can also use “My God” or “Oh God”, though some religious people find this offensive. Word Bank column n. a regular series of articles in a newspaper or magazine which is written by the same person, known as a columnist, on a particular field of interest, such as politics, theater, etc. 专栏（文章） assume v. to suppose 假定，假设 Muslim n. 穆斯林 (be) dedicated to intended to be used for one particular purpose 专用于 Shaheen Hag（人名） Pat Cane（人名） Toronto a big city in SE Canada 多伦多（加拿大东南部港市） Turkey a republic in W Asia and SE Europe 土耳其（西亚国家） Senegal a republic in W Africa 塞内加尔（西非国家） Bangladesh Argentina a republic in S Asia 孟加拉国（南亚国家） Argentina a republic in S America 阿根廷（拉美国家） IV. Part B: Speaking Tasks: get the students into pairs to carry out the speaking task-reflections on the texts; select a pair to present their views in class. What do you think of the celebrations? Why is it that some people do not celebrate their birthdays? What does your birthday mean to you? Exchange views with your partner. You may mention the following points in your discussion. Guiding Questions ? what birthdays mean to you ? how birthdays are observed around the world ? why some people don’t celebrate their birthdays V. Additional Listening and Speaking.
