    China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming.

    The dragon is important for Chinese. We Chinese call ourselves the "descendants (传人,) of the dragon". Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs.

    On the day in ancient times, people put ashes (灰) in the kitchen. This was to "lead the dragon into the house." People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest (收成) in autumn.

    Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat "dragon whisker(细须)" noodles and dumplings called "dragon teeth".

    Today, many customs have disappeared. But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It is said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the uncles of the family--mainly mothers' brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

    People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.

    Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course.

    Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.

    Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.

    Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them;

    Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time.

    Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强)our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.

    With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter how old you are. So I think people should read books

How to Find Yourself

Do you often feel lost? If yes, look for ways to find yourself by going through the following tips. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

The first thing to do is to have a rest from everything. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of overwork? Is it because you are not living a life that you want? Or is it because you are not happy with the people or things around you? 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Look within and find yourself in you instead of（代替）being the way others want you to be. Think about the things that you would want to do, the places that you would like to visit and the way of life that you would like to follow. Then think how you would want others to describe you. l

Thinking about the past, the time or situations（处境）when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself. This will help you be sure of what you want to do in life.

Knowing yourself and deciding what to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two. Tt can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So, it's important that you have a writing habit of all your feelings and thoughts.

Once you have known what you want to do with your life, make a move for a change. Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. If you want a job change, plan and take action so that it can take place successfully.
