Luling, a small town in Texas, is home to a watermelon water tower, a watermelon queen and a festival called the Watermelon Thump.
The event includes food, music and a parade. But what sets this watermelon festival apart from others is the World Championship Seed Spitting(吐西瓜籽)Contest.
Only about 5, 500 people live in Luling. But since 1954, the population has swelled on the last weekend in June. Now, tens of thousands of people come from all around to attend the four-day festival.
“The seed-spitting crowds get into it, ” said Edgar Camacho, who is father to four seed-spitting champions. “Parents from Luling take it seriously. ”
The competition is limited to about 50 kids and 50 adults. The kids are divided into four age groups. For the individual(个人的)competition, everyone gets two spits, and judges record the better one. For the team event, judges take the sum of four spits from four participants.
“It’s really fun and exciting, ” said Victoria Camacho, 14. “The crowd is all watching you and cheering for you, and your family is there. ” About 200 people watch. “It’s really a lot of pressure because you don’t want to mess up. ”
Victoria won her age group four years ago with a spit of 36 feet. Two years ago, her brother A. J. , 17, broke the youth record in Luling when he spat a seed 58 feet inches. That’s more than half the length of a basketball court. (The adult seed-spitting world record, set in 1989, is 68 feet inches. )
“It’s fun to come out and compete every year. It’s just a really competitive spirit that all the families have, ” said A. J. , who has won the seed-spitting contest about 10 times.
The Camachos have no plans to give up their competitive spitting anytime soon.
“Even if I don’t live in Texas, ” said Davis Camacho, 20, a five-time winner. “I’ll make the yearly journey to Luling. ”

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on January 1st. People may go to parties, dress in formal clothes—like tuxedos(小礼服)and evening gowns, and drink champagne at midnight. During the first minutes of the New Year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the New Year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the New Year with the first light of the sunrise.
It is also a common Western custom to make a New Year’s promise, called a resolution. New Year’s resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the New Year.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the New Year can start afresh (again). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in the New Year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the New Year.
Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the New Year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the New Year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck in the New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas(豇豆)for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. 1 If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents possibly won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. 2
3 Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. 4
Talk about your values(价值观). The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. 5 Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.
A. Go to some place to cool off.
B. Try to reach a compromise(和解).
C. Tell your parents what you care about, and why.
D. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy.
E. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
F. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.
G. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

4. 【解析】选E。根据上句In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. 可知, 在这些情况下, 对他们表现出爱和尊敬尤为重要。故E项(表现出尊重会使你们的关系保持牢固。)符合文意。
