But thats exactly what people in Denmark hope to find after midnight, as it means good luck. So, if you were Danish, you might go and smash a plate on a friends doorstep to bring good luck to him or her over the next 12 months.Finland: Fortune telling with metal In countries, including Finland, there is a tradition of melting a special metal and then dropping it into cold water. The metal will form a shape when it cools. People then try to read the shape of the metal that tells them something about their future. For example, if it makes the shape of a flower, it could mean the person will have an unknown admirer in the next year.Spain: Eating grapes When the clocks hit midnight in Spain, you11 find people reaching for grapes. This is because there is a tradition of eating one grape each time the clock strikes at midnight. The idea is that this will bring you twelve lucky months in the year ahead.South America：Walking with an empty suitcase In some South American countries, on New Years Eve you might see some people walking around with an empty suitcase.

But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanths parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the star. Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-four-year-old is the founder CEO of Bollant Industries. Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students and teachers didnt quite like him because of his disability. As a result, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone. Concerned this would hold back Srikanth s development, his family decided to send him to a special needs school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, earning awards in speech and debate competitions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying sciences when he reached l0th grade, because it was thought too “dangerous” for a blind student. Not one to give up, Srikanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences. Later, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Srikanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it has become a powerhouse（强大的集团）with over 450 employees, 70% of whom are physically challenged. Being disabled doesnt mean being unable. “If the world looks at me and says, Srikanth, you can do nothing, I will look back at the world and say I can do anything.” the young man says. 4. Why has Srikanth been sent to a special school?A. His parents became richer than before.B. This school was free for disabled students.C. He was sent away by the regular school. D.

He cared about disabled people.D. He was loved by the villagers when he was young.6. What words can best describe Srikanth?A. active and honest. B. patient and careful.C. intelligent and determined. D. kind but stubborn.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Chances Are Everywhere B. No Challenges, No Success C. Big Dream Makes a Difference D. Disability Doesnt Mean Being Unable CDonald was not very good at maths. He could not understand the teachers explanations.

Donald carefully copied Brians answers onto his own exam paper. At the end of the exam, the teacher collected the papers and graded them. Then she said, “Well, boys and girls. Ive decided to give a prize to the student who got the highest grade.
