We did a quick survey of New Year traditions around the world, and couldn’t help but notice that the traditions

might reflect cultural varieties? but the meanings behind them are pretty universal.

Philippines

In Philippines? families hold traditional dinner parties called Media Noche to greet the New Year. Circle-

shaped fruits are their favorites, such as grapes, oranges and melons, since they look like coins, you know. Filipinos

actually try to choose 12 different kinds of fruit to put on the table—one for each month in the New Year.

Make sure you leave some food in your plate. It’s bad luck to start the New Year off as a hungry wolf.

Spain

Many Spaniards will eat 12 fresh grapes at midnight—one with each strike of the clock. Each grape represents

a wish for happiness and good luck for every month in the coming year. This “12 grapes in 12 seconds“ custom

came from a grape farmer in the Alicante region who wanted to promote his produce about a century ago. The

tradition has spread to other countries too? with a few adjustments. In Portugal? they eat 12 dried grapes. In Peru?

they eat a thirteenth grape.

Denmark

In Denmark? they eat kransekage, a big horn-shaped cake, on New Year’s Eve. When they’re finished with the

cake, it’s Danish custom to throw the used plates against the front doors of their friends and neighbors. It’s actually

a sign of friendship.

Italy

Pork sausages are usually served on New Year’s Eve in Italy. Italians choose pork because they think pigs are

fat and keep moving forward, while other animals, such as chickens or cows, move backward or stand still.

But whatever you eat into the New Year in Italy-pork, fish or chicken-make sure you stay at home. Italians

throw old possessions out of the window after midnight as an out-with-the-old, make-room-for-the-new gesture.

1. How many kinds of fruit are usually served at Media Noche?

A. 6. B. 8. C. 10. D. 12.

2. Who eat dried grapes at midnight to greet the New Year?

A. The Portuguese. B. Spaniards. C. Filipinos. D. Italians.

3. What do the last two traditions have in common?

A. Eating special meat.

B. Throwing away old things.

C. Leaving food in plates.

D. Preferring coin-shaped fruits.

There is a curious love triangle that sits at the center of the new documentary Fire of Love. It’s between a man,

a woman and a volcano. Well, all of them are volcanoes.

Their names might not be especially well-known today, but in the 1970s and ‘80s, French scientists Katia

Krafft and Maurice Krafft were very famous for their photographs and writings about the volcanoes. When they

died in 1991 on Mount Unzen in Japan, their deaths were covered globally. But their story has somewhat faded in

the public memory in the past three decades? though Werner Herzog did spotlight them in his 2016 documentary

Into the Inferno.

The Kraffts? who first bonded over Mount Etna and Mount Stromboli and were married in 1970, witnessed

about 140 eruptions on every continent except Antarctica and won an Emmy for their National Geographic

documentary Mountains of Fire. They would famously drop everything to get to an active volcano, and were often

the first on site. They were also known for their willingness to get dangerously close.

Filmmaker Sara Dosa once met the Kraffts while making an earlier film about Iceland many years ago. In

2020, with the help of Image’ Est, a French museum, and Maurice Krafft’s brother, Bertrand Krafft, Dosa and her

team were able to get access to over 180 hours of footage shot by the Kraffts. So Dosa decided to make something

about the Kraffts in the true spirit of the Kraffts.

“We wanted to let them play themselves. We see them as the authors of their own story,“ Dosa said. ”This is a

co-creation, shot by them and starring them. We’re just stringing together the pieces of their life for the audience to

connect with.”

However, Fire of Love is anything but a filmed Wikipedia(维基百科)page. Dosa and her team have drawn on

the techniques of French New Wave films to help shape the style of their film, including playful multiple screens.

4. Where did Katia Krafft and Maurice Krafft pass away?

A. On Mount Etna. B. On Mount Stromboli.

C. On Mount Unzen. D. On Mount Krakatoa.

5. Why were the Kraffts considered as volcanoes?

A. They were enthusiastic about studying volcanoes.

B. They were well-known for their short-lived marriage.

C. Their deaths were related to the biggest volcano.

D. Their love story appeared in many volcano books.

6. Who directed the film Fire of Love?

Bertrand Krafft. B. Sara Dosa. C. Werner Herzog. D. Katia Krafft.

What is the text?

A. A love story. B. A biography. C. A documentary. D. A film review.

Humans have long been trying to make sense of our place in the universe. Waiting at a launch site in French

Guiana? NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the latest step forward in that ancient quest (探索).

Using telescopes, astronomers have seen many galaxies (星系) such as the Andromeda Galaxy and the NGC

3227 Galaxy. So far, the most distant galaxy ever discovered, GN-z11, was spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope.

To the untrained eye, it looks like a red blob (小点点), but it’s basically like looking back in time about 13.4 billion

years ago. That’s just about 0.4 billion years after the Big Bang.

“Hubble is limited in how far back in time it can look, so finding this one was just a lucky break,” says

Marusa Bradac, an astronomer at the University of California. “Astronomers only spotted it because decades of

using Hubble have let them cover much of the sky, and this particular early galaxy is surprisingly bright although it

is 25 times smaller than the Milky Way Galaxy and has just one percent of its mass.”

Already, with that one galaxy, we’ve started to question some of our assumptions about how galaxies grow.

The powerful, $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope has technology that should let it see back to 0.1 ~0.2

billion years after the Big Bang, the period when the very first galaxies possibly formed.

“If all go well, the James Webb Space Telescope will help us to build up the story of how the first galaxies

ever formed and how they grew into galaxies we see today and we live in today,” says Bradac. “But the chances of

seeing those first born stars with the new telescope are small. There’s maybe even more of a chance that we might
