A friend from Hunan Province invited me【小题1】 (stay) with his family in the village of Zhouqing to celebrate the Chinese New Year. As I arrived, the sound of firecrackers(鞭炮) greeted me【小题2】 children played in the streets. Dozens of rice fields surrounded the【小题3】 (house),which made me excited as I’d never seen any before.

Each home in the village has a smokehouse【小题4】 cured meats (腌肉) are hung over a fire for several months. This is also where friends and family gather to keep warm and talk at night. Sitting by the fire made me feel 【小题5】 (peace), and it was like I was experiencing the traditional Chinese way of life.        

On New Year’s Day, we visited every neighbor in the village and were greeted 【小题6】 (warm) at each house. A group of people paraded (游行) through the village, two of them dressed as a lion, going into every home to perform a song for good fortune.【小题7】 (attract) by this, I took some photos to share with my family. At night,we all went to KTV. 【小题8】 was great fun singing together with friends.   【小题9】 the last day, I felt very Chinese as I played mahjong(麻将) while sipping(小口地喝) green tea. I even won my first two games. Feeling like an outsider 【小题10】 (be) quite normal for Westerners in China, but every person I met in that small village in Hunan made me feel like I was at home.
