B
For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad.Home has become more of a feeling than a place.I feel at home when I am with my family in London,but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love.Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows.It is more complicated than that.
This is one of the reasons that celebrating the New Year has become very important for me.I do not care about “New Year’s resolutions(愿望)”— living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life,so I don’t feel the need to plan for change:I live for change.
New Year’s Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends,which makes me feel at home.Every year we try to reunite wherever we are,and remember the time when we knew
each other so well that we felt like a family.It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again.Last year,we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no Internet and no neighbours.In the middle of the countryside,away from our constantly changing lives,we were able to become like a little family again.
This year,we went to Barcelona.It was a very big change.We were surrounded by culture and life and joy.There were bars and parties.It was different,but one thing stayed very much the same—I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.
A lot of people feel that New Year’s Eve cannot live up to expectations.Ideas such as the “New Year’s kiss” and “resolutions” create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember,a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living.I think those people are missing the point.If Christmas is about family,why can’t New Year be about friends?
4.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Family.    B.Living abroad.
C.Home.    D.Staying with friends.
5.Why doesn’t the author care about “New Year’s resolutions”?
