阅读理解

    When I was a kid, I did something really terrible. My father bought me two goldfish and named them "Iasc" and" Iasc Elie". He told me that meant "Fish" and "Other Fish" in Irish. To an eight-year-old child, the names seemed really boring.

    These boring names made me feel the goldfish were boring, too.  They did nothing more than swim around in their bowl. Sometimes, for fun, they would swim to the bottom of their bowl and dance around along the bottom, looking for interesting pieces of gravel.

    I tried many ways to make the goldfish more exciting. The most interesting thing was to see how long they could live out of the water. I took a fish out of the water with my hands and watched it gasping for air. Then I put it back in the bowl.  And then I would take them out of the water again, for longer and longer each time.

    Iasc and Iasc Elie started swimming towards the top of the water, not moving very much. Then they started floating on the top of the water. In other words, they were dead.

    I thought that bigger pets are more exciting, such as a cat and a dog. It would live longer than a goldfish, and then I kept a dog as my pet.

In Chinese culture, a baby's first month birthday needs a celebration. It is a big event for the family, who usually have a big meal together. I found this out after going to my 1  Heng Yi's first month party. 

All of us went to a big 2  in Orchard Road to celebrate. On the way there, I realised that we hadn't 3  a present for Heng Yi. My mother told me that for the first- month celebration, instead of a present, we should give the baby a red packet(红包) with 4  inside. But to me, a baby would like a toy better than money that he 5  use yet. 

When we got there, there were 6  many people. We pushed our way through the crowd(人群) to 7  Heng Yi and his mother, Aunt Eng. We hadn't seen Aunt Eng 8  she gave birth to the baby. Heng Yi was very small and had a round red face. He didn't cry and was very 9 ! It seemed that he was always listening to us. Throughout the evening, everyone 10  the mother and her baby. 

After the big dinner, Aunt Eng and Uncle Loke gave each family a hard-boiled egg dyed(被染色的) 11  as gifts. The eggs are a symbol of happiness and new life, and red is a 12  colour in Chinese culture. 

Mum told me, "In ancient China, only a few babies could live over one month, 13  the first month party was important. " Later that night, Mum even took out many old photos and showed me pictures from 14  own first-month celebration. I was so glad to see what I looked like then. 

As I went to bed that night, I thought about the children in 15  times, and I was thankful that life was much easier and better today.
