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. “Its 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. “Its really a lot of pressure because you dont 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. Thats more than half the length of a basketball court. (The adult seed-spitting world record, set in 1989, is 68 feet inches. )“Its fun to come out and compete every year. Its just a really competitive spirit that all the families have, ” said A. J. , who has won the seed-spitting contest about 10 times.

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 clotheslike 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 Years promise, called a resolution. New Years 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 Years 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.
