完形填空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.
