for the Chinese New Year. Some hold the view that they are too busy to go home.
Others think that Chinese New Year is too boring. (2) In my eyes, there are many
reasons for which people are reluctant to go home for the Chinese New Year.(3)
Firstly, there exists a tendency that the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is fading
year by year, which has made many people neglect the importance of the Chinese
New Year. (4) Secondly, many people, especially the ones who are near the age of
getting married, are forced to go on a bind date if they go home for the Spring Festival.
So they prefer not to go home for the festival. (5) Thirdly, some people would travel
to other places to have a good rest instead of going home.To conclude, the reasons for
not going home for the Chinese New Year are various. (6) I think that going home for
the Spring Festival is a pleasant thing. We should cherish the traditional virtue of the
Chinese culture.
解析：(1)该句引出现象，指出“越来越多的人不愿意回家过年”。(2)In my eyes意为“在我看来”。该句总述作者认为人们不愿意回家过年的原因多种多样。(3)指出年味变淡使人们忽视了春节的重要性。(4)指出人们为了躲避相亲而不愿意回家过年。(5)指出有些人会去其他地方好好休息，而不是回家过年。(6)说明作者自己的观点：回家过年是一件愉快的事情。

since then she has had people from all over the world come to her to do their plastic
surgeries, and perhaps go on a trip too. “For most people in the developed countries
like the UK, and especially in America, their biggest desire is to go on a trip to see
wild animals in Africa, “ she explains, “and yet their greatest want in their life was to
have plastic surgery, so why not put the two together?” Like most companies,
however, Surgeon and Safari was affected by the global financial crisis, particularly as
a number of Melvill’ s clients were borrowing money to afford their surgeries.
However, while the United States and euro zone economies may have been in
recession, Melvill says that she has benefited from the growth of some African
countries’ economies. “There is a huge emergence of local Africans that chose to
come to South Africa for elective surgery, whether it is breast reduction, tummy tucks,
“ she says. 3. What is Lorraine Melvill’ s business? 4. Which of the following
