五、阅读理解。〔人与社会——文化习俗〕
What would people like to eat on their birthdays? The answer would be different in different countries.
In many countries, people have birthday cakes with candles. The number of candles is the person's age. The birthday person must make a wish and blow out the candles. If he or she blows out all the candles in one go (一口气), the wish will come true. In the UK, people sometimes put a candy in a birthday cake. The child with the candy is lucky.
In China, it is getting popular to have cake on one's birthday. But many people still eat very long noodles for their birthdays. They never cut up (切断) the noodles because the long noodles are a symbol of long life. In some places, Chinese people also eat eggs on their birthdays. The eggs are a symbol of good luck.
