【正确答案】Little children look forward to the arrival of Lunar New Year, adults to that of spring. In childhood, I couldn't understand what the elders hoped for. But New Year's Day was always the greatest red-letter day of all the year, for it meant the nice food as well as a lot of fun, which was really fascinating. As soon as the festival was over, another one was my dream and I wished time flew as fast as possible.
Days spent in expectation come and go really very fast. Very soon I finished primary school, went to junior and senior middle school, and finally to college; with ever greater desire for more varied things: for graduation with honors, for an ideal job, for a successful career, for more earnings to share my parents' burden, for a satisfactory wife.., climbing the upward steps of hope I had become a fully grown man before I was aware of it, a busy bread-winner with a family on my hands.
