People celebrate birthdays in almost every country on Earth. And they celebrate them in many different ways.
In China and Japan, for example, the arrival of the New Year is more important then a person’s birthday. So, everyone adds a year to their ages on New Year’s Day, instead of on their birthdays.
In Brazil the special birthday food isn’t cake, but special candies. In China, it’s long noodles-for long life. In Iceland, pancakes with candies rolled inside them are served on birthdays.
In Great Britain, a birthday is all-day celebration. At school, the birthday kid is lifted up and “bumped” by his classmates. This means the person is lifted by the ankles and arms and bumped on the ground, once for each year and once for growth. In Israel, the same custom is followed, except the birthday person is raised and lowered while sitting in a chair.
In Holland, children not only get gifts, but they give things out, too. It’s customary to give cakes, cookies, and candies to your classmates and teacher on your birthday.
In Mexico ,it’s good luck to give birthday greetings as early in the day as possible. So it’s not unusual to be awakened at midnight by friends singing birthday sons.
In India, birthday celebrations also begin before dawn. The birthday is also a religious event, so prayers and blessings must be said before dawn. And the birthday person gets to stay home from school that day.
In Thailand, two tall candles are lighted the night before a birthday. One is as tall as the birthday person. It stands for how long the birthday person will live. If it goes out early, it’s bad luck. Another Thai custom involves buying live fish and birds. The birthday person frees the animals, which brings luck.
In Nigeria, people don’t celebrate individual birthdays. Instead, everyone in a certain age group celebrates together on a certain day.
In may countries, birthday customs are changing. Old customs are giving way to Western style birthdays, complete with candle-topped cakes. But one thing never changes-Birthdays are special days for everyone!

The subject of this year’s Kunming International Expo（博覽會）is “man and nature walking hand in hand into the 21st Century”. When the UK was asked to take pare, it seemed natural to build a garden. Now the British Garden will be a central part when Expo opens on May1.
David Patterson, the Curator（館長）of the Department of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, is leading the team now putting the finishing touches to the garden. The Royal Botanic Gardens were chosen for a very good reason. They have the largest collection of Chinese plants in the world outside China.
“Ever since people in Britain started gardening for pleasure they have used Chinese plants, ” Patterson told English Corner. “There are probably Chinese flowers in nearly every garden in Britain. This is a good chance to give something back.”
The garden has been carefully designed to mix traditional British skills with the local Chinese environment. David Patterson describes the garden as “formal but gentle”. It contains a raised flower bed, a summer house and a lot of local trees. The garden is contained behind a wall of local, yellow stone . It is intended to be a place of serious thinking and quiet enjoyment.
“You could say that we’ve painted a picture, ” said David Patterson.” And we have designed the garden to continue for a long time, so that the people of Kunming will be able to enjoy it long after the Expo is over.”
1. Visitors to the Kunming International Expo will most probably feel ______.
