When I was a boy，my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to. Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city，and so he did. When I was 16，Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he wanted to make one. He read about violin making，and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43.He bought the tools and materials，opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper，while he worked at a local company. He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments. Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish—if that were the answer. One of Dad's friends asked him once which kind of wood was?used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was?made of spruce，his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in. He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be a?superior violin and it would become Dad's masterpiece. He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself. Later，the instrument was stolen. Dad's spirit was broken by the robbery，and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old，selling guitars and violins. My father has been gone for 14 years now. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late 20thcentury violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like a Stradivarius.

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.

In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on January 1st. People may go to parties, dress in formal clothes -- like tuxedos (小礼服) and evening gowns, and drink champagne at midnight. During the first minutes of the New Year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the New Year by waking up early to watch the sun rise.

The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (again). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.

Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats , the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas (豇豆) for good luck -- but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!
