Elizabeth got out of bed and dressed. She ate here favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, and juice. Her mother gave her a kiss before opening the front door and wishing her daughter a good day.

Elizabeth, carefully tapping along, made her way down the sidewalk to her best friend Kate's front door. Elizabeth used to attend a school for the blind. Today she was joining Kate at Washington Carver Elementary. "Here comes my brother," Elizabeth said. Kate looked around but saw no one. Then, suddenly, John came around the next corner on his skateboard. "How did you know John was coming?" Kate asked.

"From the sound of the wheels on his board," replied Elizabeth. "I'd know it anywhere. Kate listened again until she heard the joyful sound hidden among all the much louder noises on the street.

John rode along the sidewalk, moving from one side to the other and back again, until he came to a stop in front of Elizabeth and Kate. "Hey Sis," he said. "Good luck today!" "Thanks, John," said Elizabeth. "Any words of wisdom for me?" "Yeah," her brother replied, smiling. "Stay away from the sloppy joes in the cafeteria." After these words, John went away on his board.

Kate wondered if Elizabeth still remembered eating the sloppy joes before she lost her sight at the age of six, because of a high fever. Kate wondered if she felt sad. She decided to ask. "I used to think I couldn't do anything," explained Elizabeth. "But now I know that I can do most things. I just need a little more learning time." Kate could see the sunny smile on her friend's face.

Giving her friend a big hug, Kate said to herself, "      ⑹        ".

    The dragon is important for Chinese people. We Chinese people 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 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 cat special foods 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 faded away(消退). 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 mother's brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.
